God will heal your kidney failure

The day my message for Christ stops is basically the day I exit this life and meet my Savior face to face.

Although, have no fear LOL because after 3.5 years of sharing my faith with Getbiggers I'm now considering leaving the board permanently.  Not because of this thread LOL (or any thread....this thread is just average "par for the course" stuff).  I think I've just run my course.  I won't start some cheesy "I'm retiring" thread.....I'll just logoff, send Ron a PM to de-mod me and that'll be that.  I've been on this board for over 10 years now.

And that is the sad part, that you will live your life for an imaginary being. I truly hope you wake up one day and look toward science for answers and not an imaginary being.

LOL @ taking a bodybuilding forum so seriously that you want to leave.  Come and go and post just for fun. That's all it is. I do not get why people "leave." Its not like youre in an abusive relationship with a significant other and you need to get out asap. Post when you want to, and dont post when you need a break. I don't get why people "leave." Dont take the internet so seriously.

Yes, because it has implications for all of us, especially when right winged religious nutjobs try to pass laws based on their religious belief. I am glad that there are people who really fight the separation of church vs state. I do not want to live in a theocracy.

Second, this is GB, so most post about religion or politics is purely for trolling purposed.

What about the left wing nutjobs? Are they not just as dangerous?
And from what it looks like, the "right wing religious nutjobs" are losing.

The vast majority of humor is lost on me today honestly......5 years ago it was gravy and I was in the thick of it.  I don't wanna be a 40 year old adolescent on this board.

I've already taken university level biology, genetics, physics, chemistry, organic chemistry, psychology, sociology, geology.........my passion is my faith and theology and this board grows that in a very backwards fashion LOL.  I long for more direct learning, discussion and fellowship.....not just "debates" with atheists, agnostics and the occasional Muslim.

I haven't decided how to approach the situation.

Translation:

People do not believe as I do, therefore I am throwing a hissy fit and leaving the forums.

Youre a typical religious nutjob. Intolerant of other peoples beliefs and cannot be around people who are different. Therefore you huff and puff and leave.

If all of us said, "You are right MOS. We are all believers. You have changed us" you would not even think about leaving this board.

Religious people like youreself are the worst kind. Its even more pathetic that youre leaving because we do not believe as you do and are not bowing down to your "words of wisdom."

If all of us said, "You are right MOS. We are all believers. You have changed us" you would not even think about leaving this board.

I've already experienced the distinct privilege of others coming to me privately and thanking me for my words and my testimony.   Some have expressed a renewal of their faith in God and to be a part of that is a divine privilege that I cherish.   What I share I do for the glory of Jesus Christ….not for MOS (I’m meaningless).

Although I've already expressed the following time and again and even within this thread:

As long as those on this board recognize that I represent Jesus Christ in my life no matter how inane you find my position I'm fine with that. 

See, I pray for the members of this board almost daily...I've shed some tears for members of this board.  But I am never.....I repeat NEVER.....under any delusion that I will change the minds of the staunchest atheists on this board.  Your minds are made up. 

So, why do I continue?  A good man on this board asked me that privately yesterday.

I do it for those folks reading these threads that aren't speaking and that have not made a decision for Christ.  I do it because I used to be like them....craving a voice that spoke for Jesus Christ unabashedly.  I couldn't find many.....so I decided to become one myself for the glory of my Savior...the very one who answered my leap of faith with a resounding blast of his presence and forever changed me.  Today I no longer "leap in faith".....my "faith" is solidified because God has revealed himself to me and others....and so desperately wants others to come unto him too.  I'm sorry and forgive me, but I chuckle over the mocking comments like, "la la la, I have faith...I have faith....nothing else!"  What some of you miss is that my faith has been perfectly solidified.  I live in the type of faith that some of y'all mock only in reference to those promises of Jesus Christ that are still to come.  But who is, what he's done........that faith is a different, mature category of faith some of you can't even fathom.   Still, it's remains completely within the grasp of your fingertips if you would only surrender to his will for your lives. 

For those that want to know the reality of Jesus Christ in their lives I post in these threads with the prayer for PMs from those members that want to know more.....and yesterday I received 3....hopefully tomorrow another 3. 

What the staunch atheists of this board don't seem to realize is that your mocking, your insults, your memes, your pornographic images, your foul mouths, etc....draw attention to the threads and I use that attention to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to that larger audience not speaking that crave far more than what you and this world have to offer them.

So please, do your worst because it only broadens my little platform for Christ.  I bid no one any ill will,  I will continue to lift up the members of this board in prayer and I will never retaliate in kind because that doesn't represent Jesus Christ, my faith, my family or me as a man.  You wanna slap my cheek?  That's fine, I'll turn and give you the other one as well. 

So fellas let the insults fly if you wanna.....I'm a big man with a heart connected to Jesus Christ and it is well with my soul. 

God bless!
MOS

Now this reply contains more than 10 words so you most likely won’t read it either....and that's fine.

MOS a question

jesus vs allah in a street fight.

who wins and why?

honest question- who would come out on top? my money is on the raghead

[tbombz]

I truly hope you wake up one day and look toward science for answers and not an imaginary being.

I hope one day you realize that "science" is incapable of producing any answers

[gee38]

and yet you are relying on science to treat your 'gay plague'.

if god beats science top taking your hiv drugs

I've always subscribed to following in terms of my faith and "healing" in that God has provided 3 types:

1) Divine healing that some folks would interpret as a miracle (ex: Jesus healing the blind on the streets)
2) Ability within the body to heal itself as set forth by the creator (ex: the body being able to heal itself from a cold or flu with no outside assistance)
3) Healing via continually improving medical science via the gifts of knowledge, discernment and understanding that God has imparted to members of the scientific and medical community (LOL, we ain't all brainiacs....especially theists!!  ).

Certainly this isn't an exhaustive list, but general categories as I see it.

[tbombz]

Science which creates medicines and tools, science based on observed events, science with testable hypothesis' and accurate predictions for the future....  this is good science that works. Tho it does not answer any questions concerning the past (or about eternity)

"Science" that attempts to speak on unobserved events, "science" that results in untestable hypotheses... these are not science. Science never speak on the past, nor can it speak on eternity.

Of course it does, it just doesn't always conform to your preconceived theories. Works both ways, guy.

[tbombz]

Science is the development of tools through observation and experimentation which results in predictions concerning the future.

Anything outside of that is merely imaginative speculation.

There are multiple definitions of the term "science" that different folks adhere to and typically the definitions fluctuate based upon how people "do science" and how badly they want to make their defensive argument work.
