Matt. 7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged."

Matt 7:2-5 "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.  Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother´s eye? How can you say to your brother, ´Let me take the speck out of your eye,´ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother´s eye.  At Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan, Jesus was talking to the multitudes gathered there after hearing of His message and of His healings to beseech them to not become like the pharisees and hypocrites who think they are above sin.

So lemon, I believe it is safe for you to take a rest now and have some fun knowing that even Jesus did not want us judging eachother.  I am fairly sure God has got it covered! 

These days my favourite Bible quotes are streaming TC! Sometimes I suspect that I am not really a christian!

I think you should all stop quoting verses from any religion books!!

What is this place? a church or a mosque?

 I am only "fighting fire with fire"...so to speak.   But you are absolutely right!  Can you please remove the speck from my eye and I will remove the plank from yours!!

Does this somehow hurt you, hairy? Why these quotes irritate you? If I start quoting jokes and sex related stuff would it equally irritate you?

What makes you think that God exists only in church or mosque?

Is it because your knowledge is limited there?

I started this thread, and I post things I like.

I do not speak anything racist or discriminative. If you dont like it, just dont follow my posts.

These are quests of life and death, the sense of life. where you come from and where you are heading to.

Barba, you must be right, you know God, sure. I wish you all the best on the wide road to the wide gate. May it stay like this. I am done. I spoke.

It does not hurt me at all.. But it is as irrelevant as Canli´s long/sermon like posts to TC in my view...

Personally? I dont like any of these religious teachings at all.. 

And where I come from and where I am heading to is my own business..

Lisa, what are you gonna do with the rest of the holy book? ignore and have fun? Every single prophet sent by God spoke of mainly wrath and coming punishment. Check that out yourself. None of them said: enjoy, relax.

I understand that I make an impression of self-righteous rebuker. Believe me I am not speaking from me. Jesus never said: I have forgiven you, now go on continue your fun. Jesus is not a joker and never had fun. His messages never contained fun or joke. He constantly and continously taught and rebuked sometimes with love and sometimes with wrath. He was radical and rebuked religious self-rightous jews (who put their faith in their own goodness and kindness). There was no tolerance in his message.

I share my view my thought as I always did before. I am not here to serve you a sermon as I am not a preacher. I am not calling you to convert to religion if you suspect me of.

My life has totally changed, my goals and purpose are not the same anymore.

I understand that you dont like new lemon. She is not fun and cool anymore.

Wherever you come from and heading to is your business. and I have nothing against that.

I just wanted to say that I, too, have the book that inspires me and is my guide in life. I took the liberty of quoting just a tiny bit, so that I can show off as well

"Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn´t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches.

Many were increasingly of the opinion that they´d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and no one should ever have left the oceans.

And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small cafe in Rickmansworth suddenly realised what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work and no one would have to get nailed to anything.

Sadly, however, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone about it, a terrible, stupid catastrophe occurred, and the idea was lost forever."

You dont understand me and you will not, because there is a huge gap between me and you. I live and breathe in Grace, a pure gift. You cant buy it, you cant get it by your desire. You will get it when the Lord touches you. Its called Grace. You hate God because your spirit is dead. You seek this life when it is already lost. Whatever you have be it money, knowledge, love, friends, family, believe me you will have it for another 20-30 years. You will not be able to take it with you. Everything will pass away, perish in this world. Everything is destroyable in this world. I tell this not because I am better than you but because I was given a gift of Grace.
