  Demons and the WTS

  by brotherdan in

  2. experiences

  i remember growing up and hearing all sorts of stories about demonic activity from people.

  some would be experiences that people had going door to door and visiting a "witch" or "warlock".

  some would inadvertently go to a fortune tellers door and have a demonic experience.. i was always facinated by all the stories.

  My parents lived in fear of demons and passed that fear onto their children. Even after I had left the tower and home and lived alone, the fear of demons remained.

  In the middle of the night on my way down stairs, I felt afraid again. I decide that enough was enough. This was my world not theirs. I challenged them to stop hiding in the dark and appear and take me on. Win or lose.

  Nothing happened and the fear vanished from my mind along with the demons. They had only ever existed in my mind, along with all other invisible creatures that hide from humans.

  It's all in the mind.

  i was walking around town and a guy on a bike comes up to and shoves a cardboard bum sign in my face with "jesus is the only way" written in classy sharpy marker.. check out this scripture:.

  john 14: 6 - jesus answered, "i am the way and the truth and the life.

  no one comes to the father except through me.. according to this scripture the guy's sharpy message was correct.. do you believe this message?.

  Mmm, perhaps, but I think I understand the source of Gladiator's annoyance, and I think something else aggravated that annoyance... however, that is me trying to psychoanalyze everyone, and I am sooooo not qualified to do so.

  Tammy - You are more discerning than you give yourself credit for.

  Luke 11:23 "He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters.

  Jesus said, "I come not to send peace on the earth but a sword. I came to divide." Matthew 10:34, Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

  Does that make us your enemies?

  I don't recall anyone except Jesus making such a statement.

  Why do people like me become defensive at times?

  We do not have a faith in Jesus or any other invisible creature. Yet we strive to maintain a faith in life and belief in people. We wake up each day and hope that we will have the courage to bravely face another day, surviving in this mad world, while still finding the time to be kind to those we meet.

  We do not do this to please Jesus or gain a reward. We do it because we are decent people. Jesus can get his brownie points elsewhere. We have no saviour to lean on. No Holy spirit to give us strength. No hope of living forever. We know only one thing; that we will die.

  It takes faith to live like that and I defend that faith.

  Respect for a person's beliefs are a two way thing. I respect the beliefs of Christians like Tammy(Tec). Christians like Psacremento & AGuest do not seek just to share their views and feeling but seek to dominate discussion, using fabrication and duplicity.

  They do no harm to me as I am not trying to win people over to Christianity. But if I were a Christian on this forum, I would pray to God that they stopped spewing out such contradictory drivel in the name of Christianity. It make other Christians look less credible than they otherwise would.

  You see Psacremento, you are not on your own path but have chosen to walk a path with other Christians. They may actually care what you say in the name of Christ on this forum.

  I have never pushed any agenda or any view other than, "find your own path".

  This is the sort of dishonesty that I am referring to.

  You talk endlessly about Christ and stamp the Christian brand on anything that you perceive as good or decent.

  You explain Christ in the minutest detail and claim a personal relationship with him. A relationship so intimate that it makes the Bible unnecessary, while continuously quoting from the Bible to support your views.

  Then you make the above statement. It's more amusing that annoying.

  You have decided to judge me based on what YOU THINK I should believe AND WHAT I should base those beleifs on, even though I have never said that my beliefs are anything BUT MINE ALONE.

  I have never pushed any agenda or any view other than, "find your own path".

  Pardon me! I had mistakenly gained the impression that you were a Christian.

  I have avoided confrontation with you for many weeks but you continue to gush illogical and contradictory nonsense. You make up most of your beliefs as you go along.

  What you don't like is being faced with comments that burst the bubble you have placed yourself in. Yes I do consider your continued proclamations dishonest and duplicitous.

  I am tired of listening to you expressing how you feel about anything and everything that comes into your head and claiming that it all comes from Christ. You can't even agree with other Christians on the board!
