Oh Drifter I am so sorry things went sour. It was a good discussion for awhile. That just goes to show you how Satan works against those who truly want to know the Lord. They really should have their own thread for their nonsense. But it is to be expected.

Yes, and we needed to lighten things up after being told we'd go to hell if we didn't change our ways.

rickary, that is problem that plagues people , the belief that God is just all love. God is indeed the God of Love , but He also is a God of wrath. He is a Righteous Judge. Sin has consequences, even if you have been saved, there are still consequences to the sins.

He is Forgiving yes, He will not remember them if we turn to Him in repentance for forgiveness of sins, but until we do that He is not going to over look our sin. He sees all and knows all. He is Omniscient (knows all), He is Omnipotent (God posses all power), and He is Omnipresent (God is present everywhere).

"For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For What can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For this His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature , have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God , they did not honor Him as God or give thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools,and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Romans 1: 18-23.

Yes unless we become as little children we cannot enter the Kingdom of God. But you see that is the mindset of a humbleness , submitting yourself to God and depending on Him . Trusting Him. We must empty ourselves of us and give ourselves to God. Having Faith in God Believing Who He is and all that He is. And "faith comes by hearing and hearing through the Word of God" Romans 10:17. Even our faith is a gift from God. We cannot believe if God hasn't given us the gift of Faith.
2 Corinthians 5:7 "For we walk by faith not by sight" "For by Grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8

Very well said lovemylittleboy. I agree.
 
You don't think Christians enjoy the things God gave us? We certainly do! We are as human as you are Shalimar. And Ameriscot you should do some investigating on the matter before you make fun of everyone and QS too. Even atheist believe God is real or they wouldn't try so hard to make him disappear would they? "Even the demons believe and tremble at His name"

Sometimes people need to play. No one gets out of this world alive, warmth and laughter can be just as valuable in some cases as prayer, in fact, for some of us, that is exactly what they are. Pax.

Well this fallen Christain seems to remember that the Bible had a lot to say about sitting in judgement of others... Like Jesus..said in the Sermon on the Mount

"Do not judge so that you will not be judged. "For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? "Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye? "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. (Matthew 7:1-5)

And

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness..." (Matthew 23:25-28)

AND

Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?" They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court. Straightening up, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more." (John 8:1-11)
 
[h=3]1 Corinthians 5:12-13[/h]For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”

[h=3]Luke 6:37[/h]“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;

[h=3]Romans 2:1-3[/h]Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God?


[h=3]James 4:12[/h]There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
