Why didn`t god save this extremely religious person?

[Man of Steel]

Adonis trolling to perfection yet again.

You can't touch him on nutrition or religion. You fools should have learned this ages ago.

Yep, takes a real hero to google memes LOL.....ridiculous.

[Tedim]

Tedtim is a moron if he thinks Hitler wasn`t a right-winger as was the whole Nazi movement.  You realize this right?

Youre a disingenuous hack who knows nothing of Jefferson his ideology nor his beliefs. He beleived in the creator and admired and followed the teachings of Jesus.....hope that helps (it wont)

Hitlers being "right wing" as is the "National Socialist" party is a nice little left wing socialist propaganda filled delusion. Goebbels, Goering, Hitler all went to mass then proceeded to exterminate the chosen people, then made sure industry was ran by a central government as were schools medicine etc., youre a left wing shill and a ignorant one at that. You wouldnt understand conservatism if I spoon feed you GMO laced with WFB Jrs DNA.

True Dumbass getbigs Nazi sympathizer....nice. At least the haircut makes sense now, Wehrmacht scullcap and you just trim around it, check.

Wow that was so stupid that you have to be one of wiggs gimmicks.

And don't quote out of context....

1823 April 11. (Jefferson to John Adams). "The truth is that the greatest enemies to the doctrines of Jesus are those calling themselves the expositors of them, who have perverted them for the structure of a system of fancy absolutely incomprehensible, and without any foundation in his genuine words. And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But we may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away all this artificial scaffolding, and restore to us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this the most venerated reformer of human errors."

1821 February 27.  (Jefferson to Timothy Pickering).  "no one sees with greater pleasure than myself the progress of reason in it’s advances towards rational Christianity. when we shall have done away the incomprehensible jargon of the Trinitarian arithmetic, that three are one, and one is three; when we shall have knocked down the artificial scaffolding, reared to mask from view the simple structure of Jesus, when, in short, we shall have unlearned every thing which has been taught since his day, and got back to the pure and simple doctrines he inculcated, we shall then be truly and worthily his disciples: and my opinion is that if nothing had ever been added to what flowed purely from his lips, the whole world would at this day have been Christian. I know that the case you cite, of Dr Drake, has been a common one. the religion-builders have so distorted and deformed the doctrines of Jesus, so muffled them in mysticisms, fancies and falsehoods, have caricatured them into forms so monstrous and inconcievable, as to shock reasonable thinkers, to revolt them against the whole, and drive them rashly to pronounce it’s founder an imposter. had there never been a Commentator, there never would have been an infidel. in the present advance of truth, which we both approve, I do not know that you and I may think alike on all points. as the Creator has made no two faces alike, so no two minds, and probably no two creeds. we well know that among Unitarians themselves there are strong shades of difference, as between Doctors Price and Priestley for example. so there may be peculiarities in your creed and in mine. they are honestly formed without doubt. I do not wish to trouble the world with mine, nor to be troubled for them. these accounts are to be settled only with him who made us; and to him we leave it, with charity for all others, of whom also he is the only rightful and competent judge. I have little doubt that the whole of our country will soon be rallied to the Unity of the Creator, and, I hope, to the pure doctrines of Jesus also."

Man of Steel is very religious and a moderator on the religion board?  Isn't that like the wolf guarding the hen house?  I'm a Christian by the way.

I'm a mod on the religion board only.  I can only move or modify threads on the religion board.  

No, not killing any thread.....still posting in the thread actually.   Still have a reply owed to bigmc within this thread.

People often don't like discussions on this board because actual discussions do take place and I actually have the ability to moderate the board and follow Ron's rules (it's hard to moderate the G&O).

People like the G&O because it's a free-for-all and meme-slinging, bandwagoning and dogpiling is often the most substance you get in "discussions".  Although, some posters that actually do want to discuss will speak to me privately and I do my best to help where I'm able.....you don't see all of that though.  

Now the majority of folks posting in religious threads started on the G&O aren't looking to have their religious objections or questions answered......they just wanna hit and run and then high five others doing something similar.....it's meaningless nonsense.

No offense, but when I (or someone else) starts answering questions the herd always thins and the usual suspects simply resort to posting a barrage of memes or some generic "spaghetti monster" or "fairytale" comment.....it's 5th grade stuff.

During my time as moderator on the religion board the folks who've been given the most attention are muslims and atheists actually.  

I've also consolidated and deleted a number of threads started by Christians and have asked a couple of Christian posters to leave the board that were acting inappropriately towards others; although, I question whether or not they were genuinely Christians.


  

[Tedim]

unfortunately I'm not meek enough....but I only hunt wolves, never sheep....in reference to my responses and ad hominem attacks.

[Man of Steel]

I see God as a one who created a good world and gave mankind dominion over it.  He also gave mankind the ability to choose and ultimately each of us will have to choose to abide by God's will or our own.  I choose Jesus Christ because he has revealed himself powerfully in my life.  That revelation came because I was willing to surrender to his will and come to him on his terms....I chose to walk through the narrow gate and in doing so God has revealed his reality to me.  If a person refuses to humble him/herself and seek God on his terms then they will not experience the revelation of God in their life....humility and surrender makes all the difference so I encourage you humble yourself and pray that God reveal himself to you.   


outside of get big

i would argue i am a positive influence on the world

i teach my children to respect everyone in their diversity

and to do unto others as you would have them do to you

why then should i seek god

why do i need to

i am strong enough in myself to face the world and to shelter and nourish my family so that they too will be constructive members of the community

i see a weakness in people that turn to god most have a back story where they have filled a void with their beliefs

i respect your right to your religion and your beliefs

but i find the statement in bold patronising and typical of someone who believes they have found god

why do you have to humble yourself why would he not take you warts and all

I don’t think arguing your good qualities is necessary because they were never in doubt.

Now one thing I can assure you of is that I was not intending anything I said to be patronizing so know that.

Why seek God?  Despite all our best efforts and works only righteousness and freedom from our sin is achieved through Christ Jesus.

Why do I share God?  I share because I want others to experience the life-changing hope and joy I have experienced in knowing God personally.

That is some Orwellian censorship by Man of steel. Are you going to hide every thread that is uncomfortable for you?

Further I changed a single word in the primary title from "moron" to "person" so the initial perception is discussion and not attack.  I also removed some pornographic images that do not fit Ron's rules or the content of the board.

Bible in bus driver's pocket stops two bullets, saves his life

A bus driver who was shot in the chest was saved by a Bible in his pocket, leading police to believe that "some kind of intervention" took place.

Ricky Wagoner, from Dayton, Ohio, was trying to repair his broken-down bus on Monday morning when he was approached by three men, according to police.

"He heard suspects say that it was time to kill a polar bear to get into a club,''' Dayton Sgt. Michael Pauley told reporters.

The assailants shot Waggoner in the leg and stabbed him in the arm, but he told a 911 operator that he was able to fight back. He stabbed one of them with a pen before all three men ran away.

"I didn't want to stay there,'' he said in the recording of his 911 call. "I took the gun and knife away from them and shot at them."

The 911 dispatcher asked him about his injuries, which led him to discover his good fortune.

"I just looked at the chest,'' he told the dispatcher. "It just feels like I've been hit with a sledgehammer. I've got a book in my pocket, and I don't think they made it through this book."

Investigators found a pair of bullets lodged in a copy of "The Message," a contemporary translation of the New Testament. Wagoner had just started carrying the book in his pocket last week.

"There was obviously some kind of intervention involved in this incident because he probably should not be here,'' Pauley said.


Wagoner is currently in the hospital being treated for non-life-threatening injuries. The three suspects remain at large.

Only religious nutters would consider being stabbed in the leg and arm a blessing.
