If the US Government defined and abolished perversion, what would happen? How has abolishing perversion been perverted in the past? Any thoughts?

We are Christians. We are the light of the world. Its our job to be positive. We are by nature surrounded by negative people.

I know a guy who claims to be one of them. He goes around and posts alan watts videos on church forums.

I'm out of here.

the phrase "I Feel" makes my entire statement subjective and thus invalid for logical reasoning.

I said "netflix and chill" and they're declaring war against me.

I'm being persecuted

False

No such thing ever happened.

You're wrong.

"Even I know." Are you the purest person on this forum?

I would argue that your inability to hear what I'm saying is vulgar and profane. I said I get tired of hearing the same churchanese uttered over and over again. Half of the people who use these phrases don't even know what they mean.

Tongues are given when the spirit chooses to give a sign to new believers. So if someone sees glossolalia and it means something to the believer, then its significant. Otherwise, its not significant and isn't something you can simply conjure up on your own.

God doesn't operate in areas of little faith. So to say the gift of prophecy no longer exists is simply lack of experience.

The grace of God is what happens when god pulls his hand back from destroying you. If you are standing and talking, you are under grace.

I've always viewed revelation as both an illustration of the end of earth AND the illustration of god's process of evangelism.

I'm as christian as they come, and you're afraid of what you don't understand.

Something I wrote, figured I'd share it. It is possible to build a true christian egalitarian theocracy on earth, but it will only last as long as the generation that built it before they pass away and their wisdom is taken with them. However, god’s promises are eternal. He will raise up prophets to restore order. I am such a promise. We are America, one nation under god. Our generational wisdom lasts only as long as the minds that hold it, before they join the father in heaven and their wisdom departs the earth. Our country thrives in capitalistic democracy so that we as a human species can learn from our mistakes, and let history govern our future. Extrinsic motivation serves no purpose other than to protect the providence from the lawless and loathsome. Intrinsic motivation to perform good cannot exist in a man’s heart until he learns the negative consequences of his actions and witnesses his mistakes playing out before his eyes. His impatience leads to his mental degradation. His legalism leads to the destruction of loyalty. His greed leads to the destruction of society and leads to his isolation. His rejection of wisdom leads to his destruction and the destruction of mankind. A man is but a temple that is rebuilt repeatedly throughout his life until he finally learns that the sand beneath his feet must be replaced with stone. Likewise, the emptiness of the human condition without god requires the justification of one name and absolutely just authority to govern its convalescence. The holy Providences are established and its citizens are its military. Police are unnecessary except in the land where ignorance is king. Only there, they must be permitted to build castles of sand that crumble with every tide before they learn the fortuity of eternal wisdom. These holy citizens, who have learned how to stabilize a nation to perfection, act in accord with one another, intuitively, with god as their subtle mediator. He makes sure all citizens do not bump into one another on the road, they stay in their lanes, and everyone is made worthy of the spirit of perfection that guides their hand in flawless congruency with the needs of the providence. An immortal kingdom established on earth can only exist in peace if the mortal kingdom beneath it recognizes it as sovereign and submits to its authority. Until that time, mortals will stop at nothing to destroy the immortal, and the immortals will spend their days writhing in the fires of wrath against mankind with the waters of serenity as their motivation. Such a hell already existed on earth before the great flood, and now god’s creation rests dormant in godhead until it is safe to be reawakened. In the end of days, his people will awaken and his kingdom will be established on earth, as it was in the days of noah, but with mankind as god’s children, full of wisdom and intrinsic motivation; not god’s slaves, full of destructive ignorance to the laws of cooperation.

I'm not going to argue with you on the definition of "Hanging out."

Is it possible god is departing because he wants you to follow? Sorta like, you only know what the light looks like when the light goes out, sorta thing.

proverbs 16:9

Those were different people if it was 150 years later, which brings up the question of generational punishment, which apparently God was into. So I agree it could have been a generational punishment, but he rescinded his punishment on the people at that time.

hmm. I don't know the exact timeline of events but weren't those different people who received god's wrath?

I can't tell if you're joking or not. There are a lot of very serious folks here.

Do you think the church is on the path, or completely off the path? I mean, I see people flapping their arms and going into convulsions in some services, but... they're still on the path... right?
