As hurtful as the outcome of this little twisted play was, what I find most shocking of all is that some people having interacted with this poster on several occasions, would actually fall for this. People rarely change overnight and as awesome as it would be for this one person to have such a miraculous conversion so suddenly, the reality and likelihood of it from the very beginning were slim to none. The method was indeed suspect and questionable which should have been the first clue. My real and only question for this thread is; Are people mad he did it, or that so many tried to believe in the face of contrary evidence and fell for it anyway? In short are you mad at yourselves?
Marine this was a little extreme even for you, and illustrated many things you yourself preach against. I hope that the end justifies the means, but I doubt really that you would be too upset that this stunt may have ruined any credibility you had.
And you are still going to attack people Marine? After what you have done? Especially when others have commented that they were happy for you for finding God?
I am ashamed to have called you a friend!
Attack people by making them think? Yes, there is much more comfort in faith without having to think. Are you happy with your separatist belief?
Wow you are a sad person in my eyes and I feel sorry for you. And yes I am happy in my separaist belief. I am done with you Marine, no friendship, defanned, and not going to waste my valuable time on someone who even attacks those who wanted nothing more than to be friends with you.
Yes, thank you for admitting you are a separatist. Separatist don't need friends that challenge their faithful belief anyways. Defan me, you can't learn from someone that believes in equality over separatism. It might challenge your separatist faith.
Then obviously you never believed in me when I said for the get-go I'm open minded and accept all religious or none. You are a true ass hole!
If you accept all believers and non believers, you are not faithfull to the bible. This isn't what the bible teaches.
WTF...is a separatist belief...was that on Star Wars "The Clone Wars" animated series...i haven't seen all those yet?
Do you not understand you are a separatist? It clearly explains in your book of belief.
And you know so much...let me go look -up "Separatists" in my "Book"...how much you wan'na bet I don't find "Separatists" in it...Where'd you concoct that?
Jesus tells believers to separate from non believers. Do you need interpretation for that?
Really...tell me the exact scripture where he said exactly that. Better yet....I'm out. I'm going to take some folks advice and bow out of this quietly...I knew there was a reason why I don't go into the Religion Section on here. Later, Marinealways...Hope your game was worth the repercussions.
OK...HUB PAGES...How does putting a Christian Catch Phrase like "I am saved" get used as a baiting mechanism for some looney out of control Hubber.
Yes, great way to further yourself in learning nothing. Ask a question and say you bow out before I even respond. I'm sorry you view learning something as a game and not a furthering of your intelligence.
From the beginning I have agreed with some of what the Marine was saying. Not in totality but in the foundation of what he was saying. Not in the way that he was expressing himself, but in what was at the heart of his words,
He was saying that we should not follow the heard.
When Jesus rebuked the Legion of evil spirits out of the man and into the heard; the heard ran off of the Cliff.
It is kinda like "how to have faith in Jesus" is written on the bill board. We should not let the heard tell us what the bill board is saying or we will find our-self at the bottom of the cliff.
At least that is what I was getting out of it.
Didn't know what was goin on for sure so I tried to stay out of it and; "hide and watch"
I think it is all a good thing whether I like it or not, it's goina work out for the best
If you accept all believers and non believers, you are not faithfull to the bible. This isn't what the bible teaches.
Jerami said We must love all of GODS creations; behaviors is a diffrent matter. It a person constantly hits me on the head I can avoid that person and hate his behavior.
When it becomes OK to hate; it is too easy to become worse than the thing that we are hating.
This isn't what the bible teaches. The bible teaches separatism and favoritism through belief. There is no equality when some believe they are favored over others for having faith. I agree with you on hate. Hate = hate. Believers hate me to protect faith. But, I refuse to hate them back. So, I contradict my hate = hate. But in most cases, hate does equal more hate. Separatism also equals hate.

What is your understanding of God's Grace through Faith and how do you receive Grace?Is God's grace hard to receive? What exactly is required for someone to receive Grace. What spiritual value does God's grace have on someone's life? Can someone who has God's grace lose it because of sin after they...

When God come How many people will be saved that are alive. the bible states only 144,000, that are alive will be save out the whole world. How many dead will be saved, the bible state a number that no man can number.

When Jesus in John 3:16 says "whoever believes in Him shall not perish," notice that he didn't say "whoever believes ONLY...shall not perish."Since 8 years old, I learn love makes good sense and love concurs all. Fear is simply, it’s just the unknown, Satan is just the unknown....

Why do some people say that we are saved by what we believe,and not by how we behave?That is like saying that the Bible don;t teach behavior,conduct nor image that one should live by. Only robots and materialism is without worth of character and do not require nor have no guidelines for good and...
