I figured that you were not a christian. I confronted you on that matter because too many people try to use the word of God against Christians that are doing no harm.


For instance, Azkitten placed up the scriptures in matthew to say as if RJ is going to hell for what he is doing for the Lord. People are agreeing with her because these people don't follow after God no way.

They nic-pick scriptures out of God's Holy Word and misuse it. This is why i became offended; not because of what the scripture said, but because how it was being misused on a christian brother that is righteous in his works for Christ.

Forgiven.



If you quote scriptures, it would be wise to understand God. If you don't, then you can't by any means criticize one who is doing the word of God. You should simply ask questions before making an assumption. There are several christian web sites i can refer you to that has all the hard to ask questions about God and etc.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. (proverbs 1:7)



I can help you in the word of God to best of my wisdom. There are other Christians that are more wise than what I am here on DA, regardless, Glory to God for the wisdom he bestows to us that believes and adheres to His Will.







The sword

Ok, the word of God is known as the sword because the word of God is what fights off our adversaries. NOT physically speaking, but spiritually.

For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere. (Ephesians 6:12)


And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit [d]wields, which is the Word of God. (Ephesians 6:17)

Devils cringe at the word of God and the sound of Jesus' name. POWERFUL!

I Truly Believe a Picture IS Worth a Thousand Words

ok, ill make this quite clear first. i do not call myself a christian.

if rejecteddreams does not like what i post, they have every right to hide the comment, and if they do not want me to post comments on their deviations they can turn comments off.
you might say that they dont want to turn the comments off, because then people who want to say nice things cant, but unfortunatley, you cannot have it both ways, and if you want to hear peoples comments, you must be able to listen to the ones you might not want to listen to. but by no means are you obliged to reply to them if you dont want to.

what i fine most odd is that a christian is offended by text from a book their reilgon is based on! i beg of you, if i have misinterpreted the meaning of the "sword" that gods word is supposed to be, then tell me what it is meant to mean. and what it means when it explicitely says it is not meant to bring peace but make enemies. i can safely say that if that is literal like i thought it was then it has worked.

i was not preaching the word of god, but criticising it. i may have even been satirizing it, i do not remember what i said, but it is a possibility.

it is by no means hypocritical to refer to the scripture you are criticising, otherwise no one would know what you are criticising!

i even take this opportunity to invite rejected dreams, or yourself, or any other person, christian or not, to criticise me and my work on my page if you wish to. i understand if you might "not want to sink to my level"
but by no means am i a hypocrite for criticising someones beliefs when i have invited everyone and anyone to criticise mine. sure, if you do i will argue my point, but i will not tell you not to criticise me.

"You can't try to correct someone that is in no wrong," please tell me what wrong i have done in criticising something i disagree with? i mean, isnt that just what you are doing now, criticising me because you disagree with me criticising something i disagree with? oh, right, i can see why you call me a hypocrite now i look at it that way.

But again, you're implying that my brother in Christ is wrong for what he is doing, yet you can't and don't understand the word of God. You read the bible? Good, but are you implying the word of God into your heart, or are you just trying to offend someone who is doing no harm?

posted the scriptures in Matthews 7:21-23 and it offended me because my brother -in-Christ is doing no harm, but preaching the word of God through his deviations. He is attacked by ppl that visits his page; he doesn't go randomly preaching on ppl's page. And if he may of done that, forgive him. We make mistakes. Christians are not super human. We need Christ just as much as everyone else does.


It's this simple...if any person that calls himself a christian were to examine what my brother-in-Christ does for the Lord, one could see that he is doing no harm. He is doing the will of God. YET, ppl would try to throw scriptures at him (incorrect as ever, might i add) telling him that he's in a wrong.

Once again, it's just people randomly using scriptures ad have no idea on what they are posting.


Yes, i ranted there...but this is just it. You can't try to correct someone that is in no wrong, and you can't try to preach the word of God if you don't even believe the WORD OF GOD!

The bible calls these ppl Hypocrites, and this is exactly what you and azkitten are acting as.

I'm Kendi, your "Psycho friend in Christ" -Retermined

just because i dont believe in what it says, doesnt mean i havent read certain parts of the bible. ill admit that the part ive read most of is leviticus.

and you cant use the excuse "its symbolic" without saying what it is symbolic OF.

also, the bible i have is the gideons bible. so unfortubately for you, it IS the very same bible you christians follow.

and finally, to be completely honest, it doesnt matter what any scripture says. it is the nature of religon to not need fact. for if there is fact, you dont need faith. and your whole religon is based on faith.

it is not the individual christians i am against, but the concept of christianity, which was started by a jew, based on the jewish religon, but does not follow some of the most basic laws of judaism.

It's symbolic. You can't hope to read the bible as a simple literature book and then hope to rebuke a Christian who is doing no harm, but following the word of God.

Clearly you don't understand symbolism in the bible and you're just tossing out scriptures to make yourself sound justified.

And to hear you say that you're not going to either Heaven or Hell makes me realizes that you clearly DON'T read the bible...(you may be reading some other bible, but that's not the bible we Christians follow after) yet you're trying to throw scriptures at a person who is doing nothing wrong???


I suggest you read Romans 10:9-11


9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Matthew 6:33
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

firstly, your quote does not serve as evidence for the point you put before it.

secondly, it does not matter if the "sword" is the word of god, because a sword is a weapon, and in that context, the "sword" is meant to bring disruption to the world.

and yes, i do know if ill be going to heaven or hell. te answer is i wont.

[link] Leith's Cookery Bible:

The ONLY true path to salivation!

Actually this scripture explains that Christ is not hear to bring peace on this earth, but a sword. The 'sword' in the scripture is the Word of God. Listed here in Mark 16:15-18 (and Christ said this)


15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover


I have family members that do not accept my spreading the Gospel, yet they claim to be Christians. So that would explain the scripture in a nut shell. IT IS THOSE PEOPLE (if they don't repent) that will be at God's throne crying "Lord, Lord" and Christ will say to them "I never knew ye. Depart from me, worker of iniquity"


It appears you are quick to judge my christian brother on what he is doing for the Lord, but what say you? Do you not know that those who do not accept Christ will not see the kingdom of God? Do you have Christ in your life? DO you know if you'll be going to Heaven or Hell?

i apolagise sincerely, if i have mentioned an arguement about the kosher law and this was nothing to do with you.

i had that argument with someone else i think and got confused. although if you wish i will pose that arguement to you too, may be interesting.

Matthew 10:34-36

"Do not suppose that i have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law - a man's enemies will be members of his own household"

now, i know the context of this is aimed at those who acknowledge others before him, but it is still an attack on those who are not christian.

therefore, anyone who follows the bible word for word deserves this very behaviour towards them mercilessly. and anyone who doesnt follow the bible word for word CANNOT claim that the bible is 100% ultimate truth, which as far as i know, certain organisations such as the jehovahs witnesses beleive.

its funny you should talk about taking "got at his word" when he stated in the leviticus that you must keep kosher.

you need not reply to this message, but atleast reply to the conversation we had about the leviticus, even if it is to say i am right about the kosher law, even if im wrong about everything else. or would that hurt your pride? or is pride a sin? im really not too clear on that area.

actually, evolution as it is understood now is based on DNA being made of pairs of alleles, 1 of each pair being passed on to the child, and for whatever reason, 1 allele may be mutated, possibly to form an improvement. if DNA was never discovered, then noone would be claiming that there is strong evidence for evolution. the reason evolution is a highly likely scientific theory is because it fits in perfectly with a scientific FACT that we can see happening.

did you not take a gcse in science??

But that doesn't mean the species undergoing the adaptation is going to turn into a completely new creature. All organisms and species have the ability to change and adapt to their environment..up to a point.
No one said evolution was going to turn anything into an entirely new species. The 'apes' that evolved into modern man are just early humans that looked a lot like other apes, nothing more. Even if something's going to really change in the future, no one knows exactly when it'll happen.

God gave organisms the ability to change(adapt) on their own, but always within certain boundaries. God doesn't have to come down and psychically make an animals fur thicker when it's environment gets colder, for example.
True, but I've never heard of any 'boundaries' in evolution. Care to explain?

But God did in fact, make everything perfect in the beginning(even humans). The Bible clearly tells us that God said everything He made was good.
"Good" isn't "perfect". Neither is "very good".

Evolution claims that the universe basically made itself
No, no, you're confusing "adaptation and change in organisms" with "origins of the universe", which is "astronomy".

Very good and good is not perfect. Its just good. A step above mediocre.

And eh, his work is perfect beeeeeeeecaaaaaaaaaause, he's an omnipotent being, but thats not to say he didn't create a perfect self-evolving organism that doesn't need his constant poking and prodding to get itself right.

You can argue the semantics if you want. You seem to have a quote for everything. Doesn't do much for me, but there you go.

For you, the day Andromeda graced your small Siberian village was the most important day of your life. But for me... it was Tuesday.

_{The Necromancer of Complaintopia}

When God made the world,
everything at first was 'very good', or ' perfect'. All living things were in perfect harmony, with a sinless man tending the perfect creation. During this early time, there was no disease, violence, or even death.
"And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day"(Genesis 1:31)
"He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he"(Deuteronomy 32:4)

And yet it doesn't say it was perfect.

Just that it was good.

Good is not perfect.

_{The Necromancer of Complaintopia}

The point of 'evolving' is 'adapting and changing'
Adaptation(as usual) is being misrepresented as ' proof' of evolution. Since the word 'evolution' is such a broad term it covers a lot of ground(evolution simply means 'to change' ), so a species adapting to its environment would be considered a form of evolution. But that doesn't mean the species undergoing the adaptation is going to turn into a completely new creature. All organisms and species have the ability to change and adapt to their environment..up to a point. That's why we have different breeds of sheep, but they're not turning into horses. Just like pigs are not changing into elephants, and monkeys are not changing into humans.

what's wrong with God implementing evolution so that organisms can adapt and change on their own without constant intervention?
God gave organisms the ability to change(adapt) on their own, but always within certain boundaries. God doesn't have to come down and psychically make an animals fur thicker when it's environment gets colder, for example.

what if He chose not to make everything perfect from the start?
But God did in fact, make everything perfect in the beginning(even humans). The Bible clearly tells us that God said everything He made was good.

Such as:
"God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good."(Ge 1:10)

"The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good."(Ge 1:12)

"..to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good."(Ge 1:18)

It wasn't until the first humans(Adam and Eve) chose to disobey what God had commanded, that death, disease, and sin, entered the world. "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned."(Ro 5:12).

It's because of our sin that God sent His Son, Jesus, into this world to provide a way for anyone who repents to escape the eternal punishment that sin brings.

Evolution claims that the universe basically made itself, so why should anyone worry about such things as a God or an eternal Hell for the unsaved? What evolutionists can't accept is the possibility there could be consequences for their actions, that someday they can and will be held accountable to an all-mighty God.

(Romans 1:19-23)"Since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles."

By the way, I forgot to mention: what's wrong with God implementing evolution so that organisms can adapt and change on their own without constant intervention? He is omnipotent, but what if He chose not to make everything perfect from the start?
