| When I say I'm a Christian | |

JP - Academy Pimp  |
When I say I'm a Christian, I'm not shouting, "I AM SAVED", I'm whispering "I get lost". That's why I chose this way. When I say I'm a Christian, I dont speak of this with pride, I'm confessing that I stumble and need someone to be my guide. When I say I'm a Christian, I'm not trying to be strong, I'm professing that I'm weak, and I pray for the strength to carry on. When I say I'm a Christian, I'm not bragging of success, I'm admitting I've failed and can't ever pay my debt. When I say I'm a Christian, I'm not claiming to be perfect, my flaws are too visible. But God believes I'm worth it. When I say I'm a Christian, I still feel the sting of pain I have my share of heartaches, which is why I seek His name. When I say I'm a Christian, I don't wish to judge, I have no authority, I only know I'm loved. I dedicate this post to Darth_Mobility for helping me in my darkest times. _______________ Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??" This post was edited by JP on Nov 15 2004 12:37am. |

Can I by any chance steal that poem from you _______________ "Darkness is simply the absence of Light" "Is it not easier to snuff out the light completely than to make no shadow or darknes at all and create pure light?" "Is there a limit to Light?" - Jawa Jedi from a galaxy far far way of the one Lucas describes ( not in that galaxy ) |

Quote: Well I hate to say your wrong about there not being a god but you ARE wrong. But if you say you dont believe then why did you write? Stop denying it...you believe I do not agree. Our perceptions of God are all completely different. You may see God as a person clad in white, with a huge beard who knows everything, sits on a golden chair, etc, etc... while I could see God as some kind of mystical power that only acts when needed, a feeling of comfort, joy, courage, etc... It's an opinion, and that is personal. Saying "you're wrong" is in my opinion just wrong... You can't press your beliefs on someone else. If this person chooses not to believe, it's their own case. No need to judge. As it is in Christianity. "Leave the judging to those with the proper authority to judge" _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!

Quote: Some of you know me, I pass judgement on everything, but I don't ever mean to cause offence to anyone. Try and keep an open mind with what I'm about to say. That last post sounds like a bit of a contradiction doesn't it ? About god not loving you cos you're good, but being good cos god loves you. Doesn't it sound like those lines off "Mystery Men" with the: "He who questions training, only trains himself to ask questions" and "To finish first, first you must finish" Again I don't mean to cause offence, its probably my ignorance and lack of understanding, thats just the way I see things It's not a contradiction, though it may seem like it at first. They are not making a statement and then stating the inverse, they are making a statement, and stating the converse. If that doesn't make sence, here how it works: Statement: If birds are outside, then it is sunny. Inverse: If birds are not outside, then it is not sunny. Converse: If it is sunny, then the birds are outside. Contrapositive: If it is not sunny, then the birds are not outside. _______________ Top ten reasons to get a better computer...|My fan This comment was edited by Ashyr on Nov 16 2004 04:35am. |

By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. -1 John 4:9-11 The love of God is a unique, proprietary love. It is a love that has only One source…God Himself. We cannot find this kind of love (agape love) in anyone or anything but God. He is agape love. This is a love that seeks to sacrificially meet the greatest need of the other, regardless of the worth, performance, or responsiveness of the other. In this is where I live and rest peacefully, surrounded by his Spirit, wrapped in his love. I have been through many rough times in my life, and I don't beleive I would have had the strength to take it on myself. If it was not for his love, I would not be here today. Although continued discussion on this subject should probably be continued on the Bible Study Thread, I am very proud of JP and his continual pursuit of things greater than himself. I love you man, your the bomb diggity. Java and Sirus, you guys pwn teh Caz Baaaahhhhh!!! -DM- _______________ One Day, it will all end. |

If u take the time to think about it, which i can tell that you didnt, Jerry means to say that as a christian we understand that we are not good and that it is God's love which makes us better than we would without him, for without God we are nothing, my favorite one of the group and the one i think Jerry is refering to is When I say I'm a Christian, I'm not claiming to be perfect, my flaws are too visible. But God believes I'm worth it. Because God thinks were worth it he is willing to forgive us for all the wrong that we do and able us to live a forfulling life braced by his love.

"The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us; just as the roof of a sun house does not attract the sun because it is bright, but becomes bright because the son shines on it." C.S. Lewis J.P, I thank you for making this post. Darth_Mobility, I thank you for being a witness to everyone around you. God, I thank you for giving us all the strength and courage to spread your word! Jerry, and I am a Christian. _______________ The true padawan prodigy of Jedi_Pimp Learning staff from Janus, |

Thanks for posting this. I'm a Christian, albeit not a very good one. But God loves me anyway. Jesus didn't come to save us because we're so good--au contraire he came to save us because we're all sinners. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |
