I never ATTACK the creation made in The Lord's image.

Contrary to what you think, everything I ever said in response to ANY post was only in the spirit of a healthy debate. I believe that the requirements of being a Godly person are:

1) of course choosing The Lord ONLY as Savior (the "Lamb of God", John 1:29 alone has the AUTHORITY, Luke 5:24). (believing WITHOUT CONFLICT of course)

2) being able to stand before The Lord with a CLEAR CONSCIENCE about whatever you do (if a person is the state executioner in a prison and truly BELIEVES that they should be serving justice by electrocuting people in the electric chair, they will have a clear conscience and be PASSIONATE, either "hot or cold", not LUKEWARM, Revelation 3:16). (not an indifferent conscience, but being fully convinced and having 'STRENGTH OF CONVICTION' and a passion about it).

3) have a loving heart (offering their fellow human beings the RESPECT that a human being deserves, as opposed to respect that is EARNED, like a doctor M.D.). And of course, a loving heart that has regard for their fellow human being will also have high regard (love) for the origin of their fellow human being (God).


Nothing I ever said ever challenged your standing with The Lord or your heart's intentions, only what we have all been taught.

Christians have been taught for 2000 years that Adam and Eve ate of the tree of good and evil even though we all VERY clearly can SEE the words "tree of the KNOWLEDGE of good and evil" (CONSCIENCE). Many are also taught that we still have to compensate for something called ORIGINAL sin. but adam and Eve did not anything that is still in operation, Jesus has removed from humanity the effects of sin (sin against GOD, Luke 15:18 "sinned against HEAVEN"). There are other types of 'VIOLATIONS of a code' (honor code, dress code, etc.), but the penalty for those violations only mean that you might get a dirty look or someone's disrepect (but right now, we're not concerned with those penalties because they're only man's penalties).

Adam and Eve were the first people on earth to commit sin, they committed INITIAL SIN.

We are all taught to be 'GOD FEARING' people because that is what is read all throughout the bible, but who is "WE"? God is speaking to the whole human race (natural man) and saying that He will have to be reckoned with NO MATTER WHAT (eventually), but when we come to know Him, we should no longer fear, but ONLY love Him (1 John 4:18, "PERFECT love...").

Common sense tells us that love is simply AN ATTITUDE (singular, there are no TYPES), but we are taught that agape, philos, eros and storge are types of love. They are not types of LOVE, they are types of love RELATIONSHIPS (are their types of hatred, are there types of God? (God is love). (God is ONE, all encompassing, integral...Galatians 3:20).

So, of course what I say is going to be first RECIEVED as being a harsh message, but NEVER would I utter one word against a human being who is sincere. I'm sorry if I haven't expressed myself well and made that clear, but do not feel slighted. My apologies to you, Gaylen.

Love in Christ
