A Bible and a Bullhorn - Comments Page 4

When the protest was over, both sides had yelled, exchanged pamphlets, rung bells, quoted the Bible, and played sirens. What neither had done was listen to the other. Eventually both groups retreated from the streets and returned to their homes and churches, preparing to battle on another day.


An anti-abortion activist leads her child past the group's signs.…

    To be safe, in the Boy Scouts and since, I usually stuck to "hand me that bundle of sticks"

    And no, nothing "fair" about life; with you on that, Ruvy.

    Ruvy, the big G more or less mirrors our individual personal belief systems- for some he is benevolent and for others a judgmental deity.

    If your view turns out to be valid, Swingingpuss, tobra has got major league judgment coming her way.

    typing fags and killers and dykes burn in hell is often needed in a nation where preachers preach God loves everyone. just as followers of the islam religion are often called muslims. should muslims choose not repent of their false god worship, they will burn in hell with sexual perverts,liars,cowards and other sinners.

    Let me get this straight then- every non Christian will burn in tobra's hell. Hmmm....quite a party we are gonna have...who will get the barbeque sauce?

    tobra,

    It may have not dawned on you that the people you have been commuicating with are NOT Christians and generally not interested in how you view heaven or judgment.

    This is a different point of view for you to comprehend.

    According to the Signs From Heaven web-site www.signsfromheaven.com, a soul once it leaves the body, is judged.

    What does the judgment consist of?

    Judgment consists of reviewing one's life - through the eyes of those affected by one's actions. So, every act done to you, the soul being judged gets to feel - from your point of view. Likewise, every act you commit, you get to feel - from the point of view of the person you did it to.

    The web-site is about an autistic girl, Galia, who was somehow contacted by her mother. The girl, using a special keyboard designed for the purpose, was able to tell her mother that she was the soul of the mother's great-grandmother and that she had been sent back to correct errors that she had made in her own life. The errors were failures in educating her children. The mother was surprised to hear this. According to Galia, errors "up there" in raising children were very serious business.

    The description of judgment is hers.

    I advise you to go to the website yourself and read. It will open your eyes, tobra.

    Ruvy,I can say this for most of us 'Non Christians' who tibro has been communicating with that we have no problem with his/her belief system up until we are told that we (homosexuals included) will go to hell.

    There is religious tolerance and then there is religious hatred and the last will not be tolerated.

    what is worse than being told you will spend an eternity in hell is arriving there. not believing in hell's existence will not lower the temperature one degree.

    tobra: So this "hell" you speak of... It is a hot place? Like with fire? How does the Devil live there? Does the Devil get to have cold things like Lemonade and ice cream, since he's the boss of hell? Can God visit hell, or is it too hot for Him, too?

    Incidentally, there's a nice lady in the Fatima thread I think you might hit it off with...

    I've never understood the inclination of zealots to convince others that hell exists. Seems to me that if you believe in heaven, you'd want to keep all the riff-raff out and let them just go to hell. Heaven is prime real estate, folks! Keep it on the DL.

    But you and I both have the right to believe, or not believe, whatever we want. And I don't believe in your hell, so I am not worried.

    You should know that when you use your religious beliefs coupled with hatespeech to defend your position you alienate a huge chunk of the population. You will reach more people without the fire and brimstone predictions.

    if i were the pastor of a large church i would be preaching love as it is popular with the paying customers. preaching that God sends sinners to hell is not popular, but it is the truth from God's Word.

    that is exactly what the Bible says, the road to destruction is wide and the road to heavan narrow. keep on sinning, hell probably ain't half full. repent and spend eternity in Paradise. YOUR CHOICE is your choice because God gave you the right to chose.

  • 146 - swingingpuss

    Jan 04, 2006 at 9:26 am

    Tobra,is the road cobbled? What are the best modes of transportation available? Is there any travel advisory? Does the great book talk about the local attractions of hell?



  • 147 - tobra

    Jan 04, 2006 at 9:41 am

    the road may or may not be cobbled. keep living the way you live to arrive there. the Bible has travel advisories plenty. the attractions are always hot and the citizens are always miserable and realize they are in Hell for eternity.

    Frankly, tobra, comment #142 is all anyone needs to see where your heart is at; you've lost whatever shred of credibility you had left (which wasn't any).

    I'll bet God takes care of bogus preachers right well. I wonder if Jimmy Swaggart gets to go to Heaven? If he does, hell starts looking better and better...

    Maybe Jim Bakker is there now, looking down upon us scoundrels.

    jimmy swaggert admitted he had sinned after he was caught with the whore. the second time, i am not aware of wether he has asked for forgiveness. the Lord is merciful and just and will remove our sins as far as the east is from the west when we seek His forgiveness. didn't know jimmy baker was dead. coming home to a wife like tammy faye and expecting comfort from her would be hard on any man. easy to see why jimmy baker fell into the arms of his whore.

  • 150 - uao

    Jan 04, 2006 at 10:34 am

    He had better have admitted he sinned, if he wanted to keep his meal ticket.

    Otherwise, the best he could hope for would've been carnival sideshows. Probably the dunking tank.

    Tell us some of your sins tobra... Ever covet the neighbors wife? Take the Lord's name in vain? Dodge any bills (steal)? Bear false witness?

    'Cause you don't seem very honest at all, and you seem like a rather dodgy character who doesn't address questions very well. I'm not convinced you have the moral authority with which to speak.

    Convince me. About you.

    Jimmy Swaggart was a much more convincing speaker, so far.

    tobra, do you berate people in real life also or is banging the online pulpit your current hobby?

  • 154 - tobra

    Jan 04, 2006 at 12:05 pm

    only when i have the time to spare to the online. americans had plenty of opportunity to read the Bible and obey it. unlike other countries, in this nation God's Word is easily obtained. unfortunately americans chose not to obey God's Word and were foolish enough to kill a good man with a definitive plan to stop abortion. his name was paul jennings hill. the chance for america to escape the sword of God's judgment are over. florida is toast, perhaps all the faggots,dykes,perverts,killers,cowards and the entire jeb bush family will move there.

    tobra, I studied in a Catholic school back in India where the majority of students were Hindus.

    The word of God was part of our curriculum - Christians went to catechism and we had 'moral science'.

    There are subtle ways of spreading the word or should I say sowing the seeds.

    People respond better to dialogues than admonishes.

    Tobra, you speak in support of a murderer like Paul Hill, the assfuck Presbyterian minister who was put to death a few years ago for killing a doctor and his bodyguard with a shotgun. He also shot the doctor's wife.

    Maybe because of the profane, annoying, sub-retarded puke you spit out here, some folks will look further into the history of the moronic Christian terrorist Paul Hill and conclude that you and those like you are just subsocial criminals.

    Your "opinions" are disgusting and completely immoral, and your writing show signs of mental retardation, or perhaps just Christian home-schooling.

    I love fags, dykes, perverts, liars and muslims.

    rev. hill nver sodomized you or any other pervert. you have your facts wrong.britton's wife, if he had one, was not in the pickup truck. army of god, prolife virgina, streetpreach.some of the web sites with information about paul hill. going to a catholic school, they teach mary died a virgin, which is not what happened, she had other children after Jesus.He was the only child mary gave birth too, that was virgin born.

    before 2006 is over a large number of people living in florida will die. and also mrs. phillip (flip) benham will be destroyed before 2006 turns into 2007 and yourself, KYS. not by my hand, but by God's.
