This question is now 2 years old as are most of the answers which can be confusing as comments are missing due to a couple of users who got banned and also because the comments are out of place because this question was asked on the old forum and then transferred here which messed up the page set up.

I would ask him where my flashlight is. I lost it. I would also ask him why people are filled with contempt and hatred. I have been taught that a sin is a sin is a sin and we are forgiven and loved. We are not to judge anyone. While you may judge someone for whom he or she chooses to love... Think about what you have done in your own life. Have you been judged by something you have done in the past? Have you ever felt guilty for anything? All have sinned. Its not about that. Its more about love right? Loving God and each other. Dont judge.. And especially dont let someone feel your anger. Allow them to feel your love. That is what God would want right? I dont want to get involved in a debate here, but Colleen, I have been shamed for who I loved before too. It sucks and honestly... thats between you and God.. and only you and God know your heart. One Love.

Thank you Jess and I'm sorry haters made you feel shame. I have never let them shame me for anything. Yes, God knows my heart. God knows I love & that's all God wants from any of us. I wonder most, why people who hit me with such vile words think I could choose a life for 49 years that brings such hatred and contempt from the ones who look down on me from their staunch religious pedestal. It never ceases to amaze me that they continue to believe I've chosen this life, that I chose to be their target for hate & verbal abuse. All the while believing they are acting in accordance to God's laws.
The vile words she spoke are in other threads. She's chosen not to use them here in what is a more open thread. They can't be buried in a new thread. ; )
I was talking to Jess.
Believe in your hate. It's fine by me. You're the one who has to live with it.
You're kidding me...you said it loud and clear ....Wait, You erased all your comments except the one I posted here? I thought you stood by what you said? WHY did you erase all that you wrote to me? Are you afraid to stand in the light of judgment by your peers? Yes, it was hate but I can not prove it since you erased all. You read psalm1 and let it remind you why your God hates.
You missed some older ones.
"whether u believe in it or not soon u will see it ur father Lucifer will show ur resting place and u will be surprised enjoy now ur earthly life it is better than the place u plan to go for eternity"
"with u Coleen NEH with devil worshiper no no no"
"why this homosexuals try to justify their wrong deeds by philosophizing ?there is no philosophy for sin is sin don't u read the bible do u want to outsmart God? u fool people u will burn in hell because of ur arrogance"
"i am fed up with your nonsense comments and your thinking that all the world is conspiring against you people irritated by the very idea of homosexualism since the spirit of the lord is with us that is way we are disgusted by your ugly acts WE HATE WHAT OUR God HATES"
This is why I would never follow your bible.
What you wrote about how you know God loves you:
"it is not a feeling it is not a fantasy this will be done by spirit and mind for instance the children of God cant commit sin,only believe you and ur family will be saved,by his stripe we all healed."
"the children of God cant commit sin..."
Really? Are you without sin because you are a child of God?
And you call me arrogant.
You are right alan.
The whole world needs the forgiveness and mercy of God, and every one of us needs it because the Bible says that we should repent of our sins and be forgiven. (See Acts 3: 19)
All who do not repent and find forgiveness will inevitably suffer the consequences of their sin just as a criminal has to receive the sentence that the judge decides on, either jail or being fined a lot of money, or whatever. The Bible says, "Sin is the transgression of the law." (1John 3:4) If sin goes unpunished then the law-breakers get worse in the evil deeds that they do!
So then, repentance or asking for forgiveness, is NOT selfishness, but rather doing wrong and expecting to get away with it is the selfish spirit in us. Repenting and finding forgiveness is what God want of us, according to His word, the Bible.
It may be that God is allowing all these awful disasters to happen because He wants people to learn to accept Him as their God instead of the false gods of this world who cannot help them. There are too many false "gods", and I mean things like too much money and over-prosperity which cause people to look to material things instead of eternal things, -the things of God! Too much prosperity for the few usually means poverty for countless millions, and that is a big sin in this world today! The prosperous should learn to share their wealth with those who are in real need, but they usually don't! I live in an area where there are many who are rich because of the horse-racing scenario, and you should see the big, expensive cars they drive around in!! And yet I have seen, in this town, people begging in the street because they are (possibly) in poverty.
So keep asking for forgiveness alan. You will get a blessing from God! Those who don't, won't!

I ask God to help me keep the 10 commandments, and that's because the Bible, -God's inspired Word, says "If ye love Me, keep My commandments." John 14: 15. (See also Exodus 20: 6. Read through verses 1 to 17)
We either love God or hate Him. If we truly love Him we will be obedient to His commandments as found in Exodus 20: 3 to 17.
(Many of the 10 Commandments are also quoted in the New Testament too! The writer's of the New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Paul, etc; their Bible (The Torah) was the same as our Old Testament, and they believed in the keeping of the 10 Commandments.)
We either love God or hate God...
It's just like a child who tells his or her Mum or Dad that they love them but refuse to obey when asked to come in and help with something like laying the table for lunch. "Mum, I'm busy playing with so-and-so, and can't come in now!!" Well, Mum will wonder if her son or daughter really means it when they tell her that they love her! "If ye love Me"??? as the Bible says! If someone can't love their own parent, or husband or wife as they have said they do, and so ought to do according to what they say, then how can they really love God who is the great Creator of heaven and earth, and "all that in them is" (Exodus 20: 11).
And by-the-way, Exodus 20: 8 to 11 tells us to keep the Sabbath day holy. And it says that the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord. The true seventh day is the day that Jesus kept holy, and all the apostles and disciples kept holy also, and that is the day we call Saturday and NOT Sunday, which was first legislated as a "holy day" by edict under Constantine the Great back in 321 AD
(See: http://www.earlychurch.org.uk/constantine.php ) Most of the Christian world today are in transgression of the 4th (Sabbath) Commandment I am sorry to say! "If ye Love Me, keep....."!! Those Commandments have never ever been changed! Does the Christian world love Him yet disobey Him? Search the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and you will find no commandment to keep any other day holy than the 7th day! The Creator BEGAN His WORK on the FIRST day!! And ENDED it on the 6th day! Then He made the rest day, -the Sabbath, -the 7th day! We should do the same, IF we love Him!
When there is a conflict of laws, (human laws or God's laws) do we keep the commandments of men and rulers? or the Commandments of God? Do we obey the president of whichever church we adhere to, -pope or whoever? Do we obey them before our obedience to God who created all things? He is the one who we are committed to love supremely, and above all earthly potentates and rulers! So why do we disobey the one and only commandment of God which starts with the word "REMEMBER"? It just is not showing the love we profess for the One whose Commandments we should be obeying! "If ye love Me, keep My commandments." Let's show our love by keeping His laws in completeness. If we find it difficult to do so then, with me, ask Him to help us keep His Commandments.

Why do people fight? Why is there wars? Why can't people on this site get along??
RELIGION! THE BIBLE! They both need to be outlawed! Too many have died because of religious beliefs! Too many have been persecuted. Too many people hate because of religious beliefs! Doublehelix and Jenn are the only ones who has told pina she was wrong for judging me and damning me to hell. I don't even care about the hell bit but to act as she did and then think she is above me? Phuck her and her sick and twisted attitude of who God is. I've heard the good Christians say that only God can judge and condemn. Yet you've all fallen silent. No other Christian has called her out to tell her she makes your God look mean and hateful. This is what disgusts me about the mixed up selfish, contradictory religion called Christianity! Judgmental idiots who believe they have the right to hate because their god hates. I'M A LESBIAN! DEAL WITH IT! I WILL NOT CHANGE FOR ANY OF YOU! YOUR GOD INCLUDED! I will stand against verbal abuse every time it's hurled at me. I will no longer attempt to ignore it or attempt to get along with close minded bigots who don't want to get along with me because of who I LOVE. I had been ignoring that twits nasty remarks for weeks. Enough is enough! I'm not anyone's verbal punching bag! If you find amusement in any of this that I've written, look in your heart and see that God is missing from it!
I AM ONLY HUMAN TOO! I BLEED FRIKKEN RED!
Keep God in your heart and keep your religious beliefs to yourself!

This "rant" was for a nasty little bible thumper who ended up being banned from this forum before I became a moderator. So, you only see my answer back to yet another one of her ignorant and hateful condemnations of me just because she could only see my sexuality and nothing else.

I feel God is answering through this site. He speaks through His children

'his children' friendindeed, i don't mean anything bad by this but just to get it across, i'm a christian also, my parents believe in the bible fully, me; i don't. i just ask my parents all the time "HOW CAN GOD HAVE CHILDREN". i don't mean for them to explain it sexually, LOL. but when i think of god, i think of a supreme being, all-powerful and great, why would he posses a child, he's creation is endless in amount.
i just don't or can't believe the fact that god has a child for some reason, i think of jesus as not a son of god but as a prophet sort of, and my parents are giving me lectures everytime i open this topic. telling me to read the bible and not be distracted by such thoughts.
then again if i'm not distracted by these questions and thoughts, then i'll be just a sheep following another one blindly.
no problem friendindeed, i'd love to learn more about my religion and stuff, great that you didn't point me straight to hell, not alot of kind and understandable people like you exist. peace :)
Perhaps I should have said His Belivers. As belivers we call Him Father. Jesus said 'Father forgive them for they know not what they do' Anyway thanks for your polite answer.
And Amen, Amen I say unto you, oh God send the ignorant fundamentalists preaching hate and division in your name, a very strong sign that they might heed theit error, to turn them inward, that they might hear you beyond the closed mined traditions, that dogmatized them. Let them understand; Ye must transcend (in understanding)the righeousnes (knowledge) of your priests and ministers, if ye would enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; the Treasurey of the Light. And again; do as they say, but do not do as they do, for they say and do not!' So let it be done oh God now in this this time and in this place; thy New born Age.

Do heaven and hell really exist ?

I would say: "Father in heaven, please forgive me and all of my brothers and sisters of the world for ever doubting you; for not following the commandments, but most of all for not loving each other as brothers and sisters of the world. We know that you answer our prayers through the power of your beloved son Jesus Christ, and we ask you to have mercy in these latter days upon our acts of selfishness, hate and pride".
I would ask him to try again. Maybe he will get it right one of these times.

He is going to try again. That's why there's a change coming. What some refer to as the end of the world. The world is not going to end but it will be an ending of times. A new world will emerge from the ashes and the dust. We will start again and build again and hopefully get it right this time where no one will believe they are better than the other. The cause of most strife in this world.
No, I am not Jehovah Witness. Why are you so obsessed with me?
I'm not bewildered at all. I'm actually very secure in what I believe and I fear nothing. I do not fear God because if I did, I could not love him. I do not fear dying because it's a continuation of myself. I have no questions as I already have all the answers as to why we're here and why people are different from each other. I accept all because I understand the why. Too bad you don't understand. Seems to me you're the bewildered one. Not judging you, it's just what I see. You're still being a bad Christian by judging me.
There's no going backwards in reincarnation by the way. Once a human, always a human for as many lifetimes as it takes to learn how to accept all without judgment and to live as God would have us live without attacking others for their beliefs or lives.
dh, there's not really a short way to explain it all. Simple answers: No it's not forever. Eternal life in heaven comes after Soul has experienced all, understands all and has lived all. Then and only then can Soul accept all & love all simply because the all exists and God loves it. Once Soul has achieved that awareness, it can not judge, demand, condemn or believe in destruction of Soul as it knows Soul is a part of God and God can not destroy Himself. There is the earth plane and the heaven worlds. No hell.
Each level of heaven is for different levels of spiritual unfoldment that Soul achieve through living many lifetimes. Nutshell explanation but it would take a lot of typing to explain it all.
that's a fair explanation, thanks colleen. i would love to ask more questions about this, but save them for later after i've done my own research. :]
i would love to know what would be my grades in final LOL! and who will be my future husband heheheh!

Colleen, you will always be unhappy and misserable as long as you express such attitudes. I have no doubt your life is full of unhappy issues. You draw them to yourself like a magnet. A persons wards are a reflection of inner character. Look at the creatures you are attracting to yourself. For the like is always attracted to its like. If you want a change you must try to change your outlook on life.
Peace to you all
