Re: CHRISTIANS

I have an employee who wears her Christianity on her sleeve. She plays keyboard in the church band and is always telling me I need to go to church. Yet, she is the biggest ****in backstabber and gossip I have ever known and she uses people and takes advantage of people(yes, Im looking to replace her because Im sick of her bad mouthing EVERYBODY).

With this in mind....I would tell her to re-read her bible. Believe me I would. lol
I've known a few people who claim to be Christians, who act like that.

So......you hiring Dzone? I'm in!!!! Like Dave said....I'll straighten it all out. lol

Re: CHRISTIANS

elway always trumps a boring ass sermon in my book.

never got anything but sleepy while listening to some preacher drone on. now golf with a football great! now that seems worth getting up early on a sunday to do

LMAO! Hahaa, my sentiments exactly. Most preachers just keep talking on and on because they love the adrenaline rush of being in front of 5,000 people who are hanging on their every word. Well, not me, thats what a blackberry is for. When I take my mom to church I secretely surf the internet and read emails..LOL...hey, that way everybody is happy..haha...hey, I do enjoy the rock music at church

Re: CHRISTIANS

I knew there was something about you dzone.
I can't stand religion either. And it's because of all the religious people. You damn right they should be held to a higher standard. If they stand on their pedestal and let everyone know about their Christianity, then they should be the easiest, most delightful person to get along with. For some reason, that's just not what you get with the bible thumpers across the lands, usually. I didn't study the book, but I've read it. I've read some of it a few times just to make sure I was correct. I had no problem understanding it. I've heard verses twisted by folks to meaning things like, "God despises make-up on females." just crazy shyt.

But, short story long. I went to a wedding a couple weeks ago. The bride and groom claim to be Christians. They're in church when the doors are open, they coordinate events at one of the biggest churches here. (well used to, and I'm sure that she'll be working there again when they move back)...(just got a call that they're moving back yesterday). but anyway, I was his best man. These two self rightious christians wouldn't let the groom's brother attend the wedding becuase of an argument that took place over a year ago. And I mean a stupid little spat caused this. The groom almost didn't let his own mother attend the wedding, which she was one of the brides maids. She walked with me because there was no maid-of-honor. The bride has 2 sisters, and neither are mature enough to just concede and say "please, you be it..."(little speech why, blah blah, and that be that.-maid of-honor. But, they're too immature for something so simple. Same as the Groom with his brother and sister 2 days before the wedding, poor girl cryed her eyes out. Now these are 2 devout Christians going into lifelong union, and couldn't "forgive" & forget. Cindy, the grooms mother, told me that James, the groom, wanted an apology first. I don't even get into that kinda petty stupid shyt, but when he told his own mother she wasn't in the wedding a couple months ago, I had to have a talk with him.

Now his new wife was what really brought him to religion. He was already alright with God, and obviously, a better man. Now, that she's got him in those church doors everyday they can be. He's changed, and not for the better. She, Hope, the new wife that's so high and mighty on her religious trip, couldn't be farther from right.

I got 3 important things from that book that if everyone practiced, we'd all get along better. 1. Care for your neighbor. (try to help everybody, anybody, anytime you can)<--that one ya gotta be careful with what you think help really is sometimes. 2. Forgive & forget. Just as you are. 3. Believe in God. Whoever, whatever, and however G O D is.???

I know I try not to hurt anyone. I try to help all I can, and I know that we didn't just rise from the "muck". And I watch people hurt, harm, and cause harm, but I've notice dzone that you are a bright, good person, and truly understand how to live happy. Cause with hate in your heart, and with whatever it is that gets the many "christians" going on a rant. That's gotta be a difficult way to wake up, and fall asleep. It's gotta be exhausting. Just be happy and watch things unravel. I could go on about those people. I know, I have hateful genes. My father's mother was a hateful bytch. I make sure, or try to at least, never display any nasty or mean trait. I don't ever feel it. Sure I loose my temper once in a blue moon, but I despise hateful, conniving, backstabbing, hypocrytical people. amoung other negative characters and characteristics.

God love 'em, cause it's hard to.

Wow, man this is a great post bro. Thanks!!!!
Oh, this chick, now she is getting divorced from her husband. She told me they arent speaking because as she put it, "Im really being a bi tch to him"...She was constantly bragging :"My husband works 14 hours a day, 7 days a week!!"..I know him. He is the coolest, most easy going guy on earth. Life must be hell with a conniving beyitch like that. Anyway, the poor guy has no life, so he went and bought a motorcycle and she said that wa sgrounds for divorce...LOL..so she is leaving him. she sitll is telling me , itf I know whats good for me, I will start going to her church..lmao

Re: CHRISTIANS

Dzone- I feel your pain Bro. In some way I wish I had and answer or avenue for you to travel, but unfortuantely I don't. There are so many Scripture I could quote to say to people like these, but they wouldn't listen anyway. All I can tell you is the Bible say to Love them- it never says you must like them. All I can suggest is to Pray for them, Pray that God reveals the error of their ways and restores the Love in there hearts for Him and their Neighbors. I always tell people this it can never be said at a better time(actually my Pastor said it, but it fits so good)-"Don't judge God by the people that worship him- Man will always let you down, but God will NEVER forsake you".

HP- this passage of scripture deals with what you two posted. I ask you please take the time to read:
James 2: 14-26
By Dr. Richard J. Krejcir

Do Faith and Works Go Together?



General idea: Real, impacting, effectual faith will have results. It will be lived out! Faith is received alone, but it does not just stand alone; it is to be shown. Faith will be backed up by the proof that it is present in a person. If there is no proof, there is a good chance that the vessel is empty of faith. If the label says “coke,” and when you open it and pour it in a glass, all that comes out is “chicken feathers,” you may come to the conclusion that the label and contents do not measure up to each other. The same case is with faith. Faith is given and received by Christ’s work of grace alone. James’ point is not that salvation requires works, an effort to receive it or even to cement it; rather, real faith will result in an outcome that backs it up. Faith will be lived out in the believer’s life, thinking, words, and actions. Faith will create initiative from the realization of who we are in Christ, and then we will live out our lives in Him, through His power and because of our convictions.

Amen to that deep. Thanks!

Re: CHRISTIANS

Even my own mother, who is a totally devoted Christian, says it is just pathetic how my brother has acted toward me. Oh well. Its a shame because his sons are really awesome and I would do anything for them. They have to go through life never really knowing their uncle because thier mom and dad have their heads up their asses. I see my nephews now about once a year. Such a shame. we always had so much fun hanging out.

That is a darn shame. The kids usually figure it out. At least with the parents they do. It's sad to know of parental influences like that. I swear. It goes from one extreme to the other. We have crack head parents on one end, and then psycho bible loons on the other. And the level-headed bunch are outweighed by the negative. Hence the direction of the world.

hahaha, check this out bro: I know a girl who has a 5 year old son. they live in a nice neighborhood. The neighbor kids come over to play with him and tell him, "My mom and dad said we are never going to get old because the world is going to end really soon and we are going to be with Jesus"..Yup, this is what the parents have taught their children. No shit man..So my friend has to keep her son away from these loonatics..sheesh...some people...thats almost bordering on abuse to embed that in a childs head.

Re: CHRISTIANS

Some peaople just get "Super Spiritual" and forget that Jesus never treated people like that and believe me, if you have read the Bible -he dealt with Thieves-*****s-Tax Collectors- all the bad people of that day and all he did was Love them

Re: CHRISTIANS

You know it is easier to do an act and play the good christian than assuming what they really are....

also, I have going tu church, yes im catholic, but in the 10 commandments it says something something about false idol, and tell me, what the hell is a church! hypocrisy, it is god we worship, or mary, joseph, jesus, saint dude of the sacred heart.....pisses me off

Re: CHRISTIANS

How can anyone that advocates faith and eternal hell for not adhering to the "right" faith, avoid hypocrisy. Every religion that does this implies faith is a good thing but only a particular faith but there is no standard to determine what faith is the "right" faith. So, essentially these people aren't advocating faith but submission to believing how they believe and if you don't well, - eternal damnation for you. The religious that promote eternal hell cannot escape hypocrisy, some are just more blatant about it than others. (Thought I'd stir the pot a little)

Re: CHRISTIANS

Religions have been made my mankind since the beggining of time to explain the afterlife and other unexplainable things and to control people with fear.

The funny thing with the bible is there are thousands of interpretations and thousands of different religions that have come from it and they all think everyone else is going to hell except them..LOL..thats the man made thing about religion.

^ well put, Klash. Absolutely!!! I just got done posting about this very thing. The whole concept of hell is a huge topic. Its kind of comical. Some people have said that there is not way I can be a Christitan because I dont beleive in hell or the devil. To them, that is blasphemy. To them, they think that satans got me because I dont buy this bullshit about people burning in hell for eternity because they didnt accept Jesus as their personal savior at church camp...If thats how God is, then yes, thats scary and totally contradicts God as love. Like George Carlin said "God LOVES YOU! But if you dont believe that, then hes going to send throw You into a lake of firre whre you will burn and suffer in darkness for eternity!!!"

The only defense they have about hell? "Its in the bible!"
