Re: do you know why there is wailing and gnashing of teeth in the darkness?

For a learner driver like me this is all just so confusing! I'm not just saying that, I believe in Heaven and I believe in good and evil, right and wrong but I just can't help thinking that just sometimes the whole bible is taken a, so literally that to me it could effect someone's mind, b, taken out of representation c, the bible is there to be enjoyed but if you preach it out of context to its true meaning of Gods love and start to put the fear of God in people like what I have been reading then where is the enjoyment in reading scriptures. d, I truly believe that some people can be effected by how their faith is taught to them and the enjoyment can be taken away. I say that because there are people in this world who can be easily influenced. This stuff is posted on the Internet for all to read. I often read on forums religion causes wars, but it is man that uses religion to causes wars, not the other way round. This type of negativity draws people away from Gods love.

Trapper you say you are leaving and that you are almost done, what do you think you have truly accomplished because for me personally I felt very confused, no pun intended. Not that I don't have respect for your own beliefs even if I do think you need to respect others better, I am also referring to the swearing, but like you say I am far from perfect and I could not throw the first stone, I would be a hypocrite.

All I know is God called me a long time ago, I didn't respond for a long time, he has always been with me and many times I let him down but he always picked me up again. He now wants me to read my bible, I feel that, he doesn't ask much of me but I feel strongly he supports me through my family struggles at the moment. He has patience, he knows time is against me, meaning I don't get much time to myself!

When I pick this book up, bible, I can't explain it properly, I feel something inside, a bit like that film where the boy Elliot who wanted to be a ballet dancer said he felt electricity inside of him, I am not feeling electricity but I know what he was saying, I feel something like he did, like it is meant to be.

Well you claimed to make the forum lively, you certainly livened it up all right! I have never seen the forum so heightened, now though it appears to be all quiet again! Is it time to do the Haka?
