>God's people have a duty to discern who is in Christ and who is not.

Thing is Sam that it seems that you decide which christian group have that right.

Sam, here's a website you linked to:
http://www.repentamerica.com/singalittlelouder.html

The gist is a comparison between the Holocaust and abortion in the US. So your website considers the Holocaust a "bad thing", and yet you consider it justified punishment by god. How do reconcile this?

So you keep saying, but you never say *how* you know you've been chosen by God. Don't you find it the eensiest bit of a coincidence that many of your closest family/friends have also been chosen when the majority of the world's population hasn't been?

Az,

All of God's children know when He hath chosen them, because the Spirit testifies to that, as in Romans 8.

Christians live their lives according to the voice of God. They LISTEN and OBEY.

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" (John 9:39-41)

Sam, can you explain how your website (see above, repentamerica.com) says the Holocaust was wrong, but you say it was a righteous act of God killing the wicked?

'Thankfully, many of my closest family / friends have had their sins washed away by the blood of The Lamb.'





Would that be the blood of the literal wooly-haired, cloven hoofed, quadruped? Or is that a moment when the Word of God is 'obviously' metaphoric?


Give my ass a break, 'cause you sure as hell aren't talking to my brain.

No, actually, SlamDunk can tell he's been chosen by the way his uncle passes money (siphoned off your taxes) around the whole family.

The wean.

I wonder if Sam is planning to use his personal connections to god for cricket? http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F2208935?thread=1007978 http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F2208935?thread=1003198 Wonder if he damns most of them too?

Lord Omega,

I think that you will find that Slam already used his connections to God on the footie.

The wean.

I wonder if he just helps those sponsered by uncle Vardy?

He'll be too busy spending the backhanders that come out of the education system.

The wean.

I'm not quite sure how I found myself here , but what a load of fanatical twaddle! Isn't it strange how the people who make the biggest deal out of being "Christians" are the least Christian people you could ever meet??? I'm not religious, but didn't Christ preach forgiveness not revenge???? And how come God didn't strike down that famous sinner Mary Magdalene????

Grow up - if you're aiming to be all the things you say you want to be in your Personal Space.....time to gain a small amount of maturity, I think.

Hi, elentisa.

Welcome to...

...the plughole of the universe...

...the place where irony and fantasy...

...combine with love and romance...

...to produce...

...irony and fantasy and love and romance...

...and God...

...may not be a fascist, quite.

Something is making me think of that Will&Grace that has the cooking class and the joke about Master Bakers. Not sure what, though.

The wean.

the plughole of the universe...

...But apparently better than "the cess pit", where apparently Sam says his work "is done". Did you notice anybody getting converted, or even vaguely persuaded, Jock?

Sam, would you consider yourself responsible if people who read your 'preaching' are not only not convinced to 'repent' but are actually convinced that all Christianity, and especially your brand, is b*llsh*t, and decide never to 'repent'? I only ask because in however long you've been here you have only managed to get people royally p*ssed at you, and decide that they would *rather* go to hell than heaven if you and people like you were in heaven. Does that make you feel even a little bit guilty? After all, your words have convinced people *not* to repent. In effect, many of the people you've spoken to on here (and probably in real life) are going to hell, and it's partly your fault.

I know what you'll say, that you've done your duty and it's not up to you who is saved, and god decides that arbitrarily anyway, but I wonder why you use your fire and brimstone approach when it's obvious that no one's responding. Why not try something different?

It's a Freudian rebellion, perhaps?

Tony Blair probably went through the same experience.

I'd just like to say that my pocket kite was brilliant. It flew on its own, (mainly at night) but, one day, took free of its moorings and headed forest-wards at high speed. The handle skited along the ground at a fast run (so that's me out), up over the phone cable, on to the ground again, and then got caught on an oak tree at about 15 feet up.

Such excitement. It makes heli-skiing look wimpy.

Anyway, Sam is clearly trying to rebel as much as he can. Look at the dropped clues of resentment for evidence. I always thought he might be a cry for help, but the arrogance pushed me back.

My mistake?

The wean.

Uncharted,

How do you know that no one has responded? I am doing what the Lord told me to do - to PREACH the Gospel. The Holy Spirit will do the rest.

"How do you know that no one has responded? I am doing what the Lord told me to do - to PREACH the Gospel. The Holy Spirit will do the rest."

Right, Slam. Only if you put the Holy Spirit on crack.

The wean.

Apart from Good News who was already a Baptist *no one* who has responded on these threads has been agreeing with you, and no one has commented thanking you for fixing their lives, have they?

Quite wrong. A number of posters have expressed agreement with me here, such as Neil_Ballymena and there is Pastor W on the Christian board.
