(((((((Dear Abaddon)))))),

Please allow me to explain : I am a woman and not a man.

I love you as you are, Abaddon. The scriptures bellow are for your benefit and instruction:

PROVERBS: 21:3:"To carry on righteousness and judgement is more preferable to Jehovah than sacrifice."NWT

GALATIANS: 2:16:" knowing as we do that a man is declared righteous, not due to works of law, but only through faith toward Christ, Jesus, even we have put our faith in Christ Jesus, that we may be declared righteous due to faith toward Christ, and not due to works of law, because due to works of law no flesh will be declared righteous."NWT

You said: "Reading AAf's post is like reading aesops fables or some faairy tale. Sounds nice but thats about it."

Thank you for pointing that out, Fearnotruth22. Aesop's fables are universally recognized for being full of wisdom and insight into human nature, and not just for sounding good. I will take what you said as a compliment. Christian Love, AAF

((((((Dear Friends Who Cared To Post Here)))))))

Thank you all for your responses: your thoughts, your points-of-view, your words of instruction,your insights, your criticisms: everything you said I evaluate and explore. From discussing my Christian faith here with you, I learnt so many things about you. I explored your views attentively, and I realized that all of us have one thing in common: we are all imperfect humans with different perceptions.

I would like you to know that I really care for you; and that I love you all as you are. I hope you feel the same way about me. I didn't come here to win anything.Simply, to let you know where I stand with my Christian beliefs/faith and to let you know that the Bible transformed me - to the Christian that I am today. And out of my love to you, I started this thread to bring you again to God, in case you had left Him.

I leave you with the following scriptures for the benefit of us all and also with words from sage men and women:

HEBREWS 11:1:" Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld."NWT

HEBREWS 11:2:" For by means of this the men of old times had witness borne to them."NWT

HEBREWS 11:3:" By faith we percieve that the system of things were put in order by God's word, so that what is beheld has come to be out of things that do not appear."NWT

HEBREWS 6:6:" Moreover, without faith it is impossible to please [him] well, for he that approaches God must believe that he is and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him."NWT

If faith has meaning it can't be off in one part of you. It has to be integrated. I think my faith adds to the experience of being a scientist in the way that discovering something has more meaning, sort of glimpsing the mind of God.

We thank you, Almighty God, for the gift of water.

Over it the Holy Spirit moved in the beginning of creation.

Through it you led the children of Israel out of their bondage in Egypt into the land of promise.

In it your Son Jesus received the baptism of John and we are buried with Christ in his death.

By it we share in his resurrection.

Through it we are reborn by the Holy Spirit.

You said: A&F:

"I stand by my comment."

AAF says:You are free to express yourself.

"You are still in no position to judge."

I said:" "According to my Christian beliefs.."

PROVERBS 21:3:" To carry on righteousness and judgement is more preferable to Jehovah than sacrifice."NWT

"I don't think I need to throw any texts around to make my point, do I?"

My Christian Faith and Beliefs are based entirely in the Holy Bible. I rely on the Bible's counsel when I preach to people. It is the right thing to do.

1 CORINTHIANS 2:15,16 (15) :" However, the spiritual man examines indeed all things, but he himself is not examined by any man.(16):" For "who has come to know the mind of Jehovah, that he may instruct him?"But we do have the mind of Christ."NWT

"Incidentally, why are you quoting the NWT, in that fashion? It's an awful translation."

ROMANS 14:4:"Who are you to judge the house servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for Jehovah can make him stand."NWT

You said:"A&F:
According to my Christian beliefs, you have have both chosen Satan's side.
"I would suggest that it's not your place to state that "

I follow the Scriptures:

MATTHEW 16:21:" From that time forward Jesus Christ commenced showing his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the older men and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised up."NWT

MATTHEW 16:22:" At this Peter took him aside and commenced rebuking him, saying: Be kind to yourself, Lord; you will not have this [destiny] at all."NWT

MATTHEW 16:23:" But, turning his back, he said to Peter:"Get behind me, Satan! YOU are a stumbling block to me, because you think, not God's thoughts, but those of men."NWT

JAMES 4:17:"Therefore, if one knows how to do what is right and yet does not do it, it is a sin for him."NWT

((((((Dear Abaddon and Satans Little Helper,))))))))

According to my Christian beliefs, you have have both chosen Satan's side. Jehovah God gave You free will. And you have the right to choose the path that you feel most comfortable with..

No need to add anything else. But you are welcome to do so, if you see a need to say whatever you like.

(((((Dear Acsot)))))),

You said:" "Sorry I took so long to get back to this topic."

Please take your time, don't worry.

" I am touched that you feel Christian love for me, AAF. If we met I'm sure I'd really like you."

You a are very loving person! Thank-you.

"However, the problem I now have with the Bible/Christian point of view is:
Christian obligation It's seen as an obligation. I guess if agnostics and atheists show love to others then it's without any ulterior motive or being forced to out of obligation. In their case it really does come straight from the heart."

I refer to the term "Christian obligation" in the sense that we, Christians have God's Laws of Love to comply to. God's children have to adhere to His Laws of Love. When we exercise/apply God's Law of Love towards Mankind, we become a child of God. Godly Love ultimately becomes complete within ourselves, and this Love for our neighbor becomes genuine: " straight from our hearts", like you say, Acsot. You attain this Godly Love when you become a Christian . God's Holy Spirit dwells in you when you are a Christian, thus God's Holy Spirit guides you to do what is right in God's Eyes: in this case having genuine Love for our fellowman. ROMANS 13:8:" Do not YOU people be owing anybody a single thing, except to love one another; for he that loves his fellowman has fulfilled the [law].NWT Christian Love, AAF
