ATTENTION!!: PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS OR NONE OF THIS OUT OF RESPECT FOR ME I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. ESPECIALLY THE END!!!!!
Hello everyone I hope this is a good and fruitful experience for me as well as any and all who interact with me. However, I want who I am and what I believe to be clear to any who care to know now and not later. If my beliefs and standpoints are grounds for me not being welcome at this site that is fine and am sure there are people in charge who can remove me. That being said please know that I am not out to cause problems, nor do I desire people to not like me. I know what God has put on my heart and I wish to share it with everyone I possibly can. Every word I say and confrontational word I speak, issue I debate, I do so on the grounds of biblical word of God. Truly our faith is to be based on love for all! ESPECIALLY for our brothers and sisters in faith! but what love is that? In the biblical greek text there are atlest 4 types of love that I know of maybe more. The one we are to have for each other is the same love, the same word used, as the love Jesus has for the Church. That word is Agape, simply translated as "love" in english. The true description of that love is: "a·ga·pe 2 (ä-gä

)n.1. Christianity Love as revealed in Jesus, seen as spiritual and selfless and a model for humanity.
2. Love that is spiritual, not sexual, in its nature.
3. Christianity In the early Christian Church, the love feast accompanied by Eucharistic celebration"
So when I say something that seems argumentative, confrontational, or even angry I promise you, I am never angry in these instances and I MEAN to cause conflict! I dont do it for fun, I hate it!! It hurts me, but the life of a Christian is to be one of sacrifice and "dying to self" daily. So I say again I promise you I dont want to cause trouble for fun. But I do it out of love and out of a biblical calling. Proverbs 27:17 "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." This verse is a reference to a blade being sharpened, since they did not have steel yet these blades were iron. As a professional cook/chef who has sharpened many knives allow me to tell you, to make a blade useful it must be sharp. A dull blade is VERY dangerous, it can easily slip, or deflect off of a surface you are cutting and still be sharp enough to badly damage you. So a dull faith can be dangerous, slip, deflected, used against you by the Evil one. So, how do we get that blade sharp? useful? you forcefully, grind it against stone. You wear the iron down litterally removing some of it. If that blade had feelings or could talk it would be in excruciating pain and screaming, BUT once it is done that blade is razor sharp and more useful than ever. When that blade is US, we resist, it hurts we dont like it, but geuss what? We need it! And I say more than ever we need it in the "Church" in America, our ways are weak and we are weak in our faith. We are to be soldiers in the Army of God, fighting a mighty war against the forces of evil and NOT against other men if at all avoidable. Ephesians 6:12 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." So I invite all of you to stand up with me and join in the battle to reclaim God our Lord and Savior! Mighty General and Conqueror of ALL SIN AND EVIL!!
NOW, if you disagree with me on anything, or want to point out where I am wrong, PLEASE, please I beg you just talk to me Im not upset and Im not mean. I make mistakes too I make no claims to know everything!! I only speak what God lays on my heart and mouth, I am open to talking to anyone about anything but don't expect me to cave without faith.
