aspen “"The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few
Well aint that a fact. The workers are few. What about you aspen are you a worker?
Or are you one of the ones that ByGrace talks about retired with nothing better to do?
Well for one thing, you type like you have marbles in your mouth - most of your points are lost because your sentences are jumbled. For the latest example, review your most recent attempt at posting, above.
For another, i have been posting here for quite sometime, now. Here is a post (#51) i wrote about 10 years ago and has been avaliable for anyone to read who is interested:
Personal Creed
1. I believe in the Trinity, the infallibility of the written and oral word, the incarnation of Christ, and the justification and sanctification of the soul.
2.I believe in the resurrection of Jesus, the forgiveness of sin, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
3.I have a personal, participatory, justified and sanctifying relationship with my Savior, Jesus Christ.
4.I am called to carry out God’s will by loving God, loving myself (recognizing God’s love for me and knowing who I am), and loving my neighbor through service.
5.I believe we are called to root out personal sin by working with Jesus in the sanctification process, which teaches our heart to love and results in perfection after death and resurrection.
6.My primary concern is to store up my treasure in Heaven by promoting a saving relationship in Christ, through the process of creating and participating in deep, loving relationships with my neighbors.
7.The ability to recognize the tragedy of personal sin in my neighbor serves a twofold purpose: to act as a mirror for my own sin, thereby aiding in my personal sanctification; to teach me perspective taking skills, empathy, radical love, acceptance of my neighbor, and the highest form of love; forgiveness.
8.I believe the existence of pain in the world is to teach us to trust, love and forgive through the pain; gain perspective on Christ’s sacrifice and God’s pain, loss and triumph; reveal Christ’s love for His children through service.
9.I believe the main subject in the OT is the omnipotence of God and the full array of human response to this truth. The main point of the NT is God’s response to His own omnipotence, which is love and forgiveness embodied in the man-God Jesus Christ, our ultimate example and only salvation.
10. All truth is God’s truth; therefore all religions, academia, and laws contain varying degrees of truth and are profitable for the development of our mind and relationships with others.
So rest easy, Sword - i check your ‘testimony box’ along time ago, my friend. I am part of the tribe - i have a membership card - thanks for caring!
Now, can anyone answer me these questions, i have always wondered about? Why do fundamentalists have the perpensity to run around checking membership in the Christian Tribe? And why is it that saying the right formula appeases those who are asking - until the next time? These ‘gut checks’ have nothing to do with Christianity, imo - instead it is, in fact, part of a sort of dance that Christians of a sizable ilk, are expected to perform whenever a) encountered with a differing perspective from a known member or b) attempting to discredit a suspected wolf in sheep’s clothing......
Not sure i ever read about Jesus coming back to pantse his flock......
So Sword, i am left wondering, now that i have reposted my testimony - is my Christian membership secure until the next inquisitition? (Yeah, i said it BOL - and the Vatican used it, knowingly)
Cheers.....
I asked you a question. You cant answer it thats ok.I already knew the answer hence the OP.If you need me to get to work on your soul, just say so - i am here to serve!
Why you twisting the original question? The bilbe is clear what mans chief end is and its not what you said on two go'sNa, mans sole end is to glorify himself, to make him self into a god, its all most men aim to do, it our Lords purpose to have God glorified on this earth, He just has so few people willing to be vessels for His glory.
What are you on about....Why you twisting the original question? The bilbe is clear what mans chief end is and its not what you said on two go's
Once again you are trying to deflect away from my OP. By bringing in my lack of ability to write propery. So thanks for highlighting dislexia. Now with that out of the way, and the ridiculing that I mentioned in the OP. Bang on target.
As I said there is NOTHING in here that resembles Christ.
He never felt the need as YOU do to ridicule. He told people stright . Like I do. I do not ridicule you or anyone in here. Yes you get hurt and think I am ridiculling . When in fact the opoints I made in the OP stand still unanswered
So you think by printing a 10 YO testimony that is what I am talking about Wrong. You are so far off the mark it beggers belief.
Still banging on about ten about years ago. This is exactly what I am talking about. nothing of value.
I am talking about testimonys of today what you did for Christ Today. What you did this past week. or at the very worst what you done or seen done with Christ this month. But all you have is ten years old testiony??????????. This is why I am accusing you in here of doing NOTHING with or for Christ of any value that will not be consummed in the fire. NOTHING.
Do you now get it. Dont hide behind the marbles that is garbage again. Dont try and kid me, you understand full well but are hiding/ You and the rest that are in fact quite hurt and still refusing to die to self.
Its not about member ship if you read my posts you would see I Said that we are all in Christ here. Please try and keep up.
So you have Zero defence and can say nothing against what I posted. Would be better if you just said you know what He might be right . Lord is he right . Yes Lord he lokks and siounds like a smart ass. But is he right? But no not you or any that have come back with you silly little meaningess replys with no value or content of value. I never even read your testimony. what for. Your a Christian I know all about you. Your in His word.
You and most in here are lacking so much. every thing could be so much better if you would just stop and ask God . But You dont even hear from God do you?
I think sword is feeling hurt and disappointed and would like to be here.Why are the righteously indignant so thin-skinned? You make a special trip back to this message board, where you proceed to rip into everyone who posts here for not meeting your standards for christian membership AND then, when people point out your self righteousness, you flip into victim mode....WOW
Yes, dyslexia can be a road block for communicating effectively, which is why I proof read and take extra time to explain myself.
I am sure the Pharisees would be like-minded with you - they said the same thing about the company Jesus kept.
Righteous indignation is not synonomous with ‘telling it straight’. Jesus connected with people and loved them - he sees our true self. The Great Commission was not The Great Pantsing of everyone we happen to disagree with.
I guarantee you that you have not hurt me, but it is a relief to know that you have constructed a scriptural defense, just in case..... You claim to like it when people tell it straight: You are acting like a self righteous, accuser - how ironic that you mentioned Jesus referring to Peter as Satan. Satan is the Great Accuser, after all; perhaps you could learn something from placing youself in Peter’s shoes.
No, i thought reposting a current testimony, written 10 years ago and lived out today, would meet your swallow Christian-ese demands for membership in the Christian Tribe. Apparently, if my swallow attempt wasn’t swallow enough for you. Or, perhaps you simply enjoy belly-aching?
Fascinating insight from a fellow who didn’t bother to read what I wrote, by his own admission.....
So, because i am not bragging about all the souls i witnessed to today or all the homeless i built homes for, and all the naked people i clothed, i am not meeting your minimum requirement?
You know nothing about about me. You have no idea about the events and circumstances in my life, nor do you want to. Instead, your self imposed mission is to exalt yourself by extrapolating the spiritual condition of strangers on the internet. Hope it works out for you....
Indeed.....i am familar with your work
A defense is only necessary in the face of a threat.
What if you are right about what? Your judgment? Your brash, unintelligible demands?
How about this question: What if you are wrong?
And you really believe that i am accountable to you for publically describing my most intimate relationship? Yeah, I’ll get right in that after I do a workshop on my sex life.
You really are a piece of work, Sword......
I think sword is feeling hurt and disappointed and would like to be here.
I, for one, would like to see him back.
Our relationship with the Christ, should extend to everyone!
(General statement)
It's his truth.

You already know what I am talking about, but you chose to throw it back to avoid your own truth of imperfection.Please explain your accusation in a little more detail. problem in here is people like you who feel the need to defend others or your self becuase you do NOT allow Christ to defend you. As scripture says.
This is what I always find. People like you say one thing then cant back it up. I asked a simple question?You already know what I am talking about, but you chose to throw it back to avoid your own truth of imperfection.
This is a game played by spiritual narcissists who only care about is self glorification, and avoiding at all costs of being exposed and vulnerable (humble and meek). Ironically, the spiritual narcissist claims to know Christ and yet always produces bad fruit - nothing sweet and ripe (mature) about them at all. They get there pleasure seeing others below them, or reacting as you said "defending other or self' against your superiority. Ha!
The best thing I can do for such a person is to ignore them, and let God sort them out.
Matthew 16:23 Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns."
