Guys, I know in the past, that I've taken a rather harsh, "fire & brimstone" approach to evangelism on here, and needless to say, I've made a lotta enemies on here this way. Yes, I know, Jesus had enemies himself, but by all indications, He LOVED people(And that's something I've gotta learn). People, I'm still not gonna deny the fact that God is Love, Fire, Brimstone & Justice all wrapped up into a Three-In-One, One-In-Three Deity, and also the fact that THERE IS a horrible, horrible place called Hell which awaits those who reject Christ's offer of Eternal Salvation through what He did for them on the cross 2000 years ago. However, God loves you, me, & every other human being on the face of this Earth SO MUCH, that HE DOESN'T WANT ANY of us to go to Hell; that's why He provided The Way Out, through His Son's sacrifice on the cross. Basically, guys, I'm trying to do what He has told me to do & show a bit more love & compassion around here, as well as make peace w/ my enemies. I won't lie to you though, He is still a Pure & Holy God, unable to stand sin in any form, but He is also a Kind God, & is being patient w/ you guys, not wanting ANYONE to perish, but waiting for all to turn from their sins, come to repentence & find Eternal Life through putting their trust in His Son, Jesus Christ. I'd also like to let you guys know that my so-called "Declaration of War" is over w/. In other words, I've basically accomplished what I really wanted to do, which was to get the 2 copies of the August 17th, 4chan raid video taken down offa YouTube & Google Video. I want y'all to know that I never meant to condemn THE WHOLE of gaiaonline, 4chan, & YTMND, only to deal w/ the lamers that've been attacking/raiding people on here. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you're not a lamer/raider from either of these 3 Websites, then I have no beef with you & everything's cool. Because really, I now fully understand that there REALLY ARE some decent, kind people who frequent these Websites (In addition to the troublemakers), because I've had some of BOTH in my chatroom. Folks, I'm tryin' to make friends around here, because, to paraphrase an old saying, "You catch more souls w/ honey than you do vinegar." At the same time though, I'm still not gonna put up w/ any foolishness/misbehavior/lameness in the chatroom. All I ask is that you respect me, yourselves, & each other, and as Christ taught, treat others the same way that you want to be treated. In turn, I will do the same & I know in my heart that He would have it no other way. As I've said, I will still lay down the law when necessary, but I'm trying a "kinder & gentler" approach to Christian Evangelism on here. Don't get me wrong, I'll still preach The Truth & will pull no punches when it comes to your questions about what the Bible says about one sin or another (Such as homosexuality, which it tells us is an abomination in the eyes of God. But keep in mind it's THE BEHAVIOR/SIN he hates, not the individual practicing it. Like I said, it is His Will that that person come to repentence by turning from such sinning, putting their trust in Christ, & letting Him forgive & heal them from whatever emotional scars that brought them there in the first place. I say this because I have heard that there are many in the homosexual community who became gay because they were sexually abused as children. Granted, this may not be true in ALL cases, but this is basically what I'm trying to convey here. Please understand.). To close this paragraph out, I'm still gonna be honest w/ ya when I say that no matter how much you ask, I WILL NOT FLASH YOU, so don't waste your breath OR keystrokes, okay? W/ that said, Jesus & I love you guys, y'all're in my prayers & I'll talk to ya laters! Cya! *HUGS!*
