BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality Spirituality Is Christianity a religion of fear?

This is why Jesus says that He will separate the sheep from the goats. Do you know the difference from a shepard's standpoint? Sheep are led but goats have to be driven. God does not want those who have to be driven. You must be part of the flock or you will lose your life.

I don't have to be part of anyones flock Jesusfreak.. And I am not a sheep nor a goat. I don't have to believe anything I don't want to believe.. And, we all die eventually.. I don't have a problem with that.

Everytime I read a post like the one above by Jesusfreak .. it only reinforces my decision not to be Christian.

Love and Light..

You will stand before the judgment seat of God whether you choose to believe in it or not. If you choose not to believe then you will be convicted by your own words. I don't want to see that happen to you. Neither does God. But God cannot break covenant so He will fulfill His promises. God never goes back on His Word.

I would have nothing to do with anyone who thinks and talks like the freak. The hatred shines through his words. I have him on ignore. Makes reading these forums much more interesting, enlightening and thought provoking.

What words of hatred? Be specific. If you have the courage that is.

mmm so if i put him on ignore i dont have to read his post either? THank you Pondlady I think God sent you to answer my prayers!!! God Bless you!!

Still waiting for the specific words of hatred.

JC - she has you on ignore therefore she will not see anything you type

THANK YOU JASE!!! How soon will then be getting him off this site? minutes? hours? ....

I won't be going to Hell JCFreak..nor will I be standing before God. If you want to continue to spout words from your fictional deity go right ahead. It is your mind and your mouth spouting them.. not any more or any less.

Any force large enough to create universes does not need a book of instructions, or a spokesperson. So, you might as well be telling me what the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus wants.. If I am a good little girl I can go to heaven..lololol... sure.

I have long since needed a book or a human being to allow me to listen and hear what the Creator is telling me. All I have to do is look around me to see how beautiful that Creator is.. and what a great sense of humor it has..lol.

Do I have to KNOW what that Creator is? Do I need to give it a name, a face, a description or tell other people what it is saying? No.

When I saw my first grandchild being born.. and she looked up into my eyes.. I saw the Creator..

When my mother died.. and I held her hand and watched her smile in wonder and joy as she left her body.. I saw the Creator.

When I sit and listen to a Hospice patient telling me their life story.. I hear the voice of the Creator.

When I see the sunrise or the sunset or smell the earth after a spring rainshower.. I see and sense the Creator.

The Creator is around me, through me, inside me, outside of me and is everything that I am.

Keep your book if you need it JC... If that is the ONLY way that you can connect to who and what you are.. maybe someday you will put it down and realize that no book can contain the very essence of all that is.

Love and Light..
