Here you go optimist

Not sure my motivation...my instinctive need to stick up for the underdog...my secret desire to be one day honoured rightfully with the role of Forum moderator (expecting a call any day)...

But anyway I couldn't help but read your troubles on another thread...unfortunately I found myself siding with everyone's posts...other than your own...except for the part where you were told you can't post here!

So I put my low IQ mind to coming up with a solution that suits all...and here it is...a safe place if you like

You can post anything you like about your beliefs...and no one has to read it unless they want! Easy peasy...

maybe you could even get Jesus, fat Buddha, Mohammed, and friends to converse in adult conversation here

Solving the world problems, one at a time...call it taking a shovel as a way of moving that mountain

All the best...brother

PS...I actually was born again once, but I grew up, and grew a brain of my own...and realised it was all a load of shit!

It is by grace we are saved by faith and not of yourselves ..Eph 2:8.
Yep salvation is a gift otherwise none of us would make it….it is not of ourselves so nobody can boast how good we are etc etc.
Evil won’t see heaven and we need an advocate to help us through.
Someone might have a bit of evil in them and some a lot but when you take yourself to the cross of Christ everything is exposed and laid bare.
It is there that the blood of the Christ cleanses us and transforms our walk from one path to another.
The innocent substitutes for the guilty….God himself buys our freedom and takes the death sentence for us.
I can be a bit of a hot head but when I think about Jesus and His way of doing things I can calm down and feel the gentle breeze again.
Watching the chosen has been good for me as I can put myself into the historical context and the guy that plays Jesus is very good at his job.
Every funeral I go to they talk about heaven and the hope they have that the person is there.
But where is heaven?….in a universe full of galaxy’s and star systems planets etc….
..Where is this third heaven the apostle Paul talks about.
It’s something he has seen as have two men I have met in my life over many years.
When your spirit leaves your body what’s next?….matter now anti matter….then what.
A new home in a new body in a new place or a waiting room for a judgement.
Some mock my idea of another planet where Gods people end up called heaven and I may well be way off track but it seems fairly logical that if God made this one there could be another where we end up….
And don’t even get me started on an anti matter universe as all positives have an opposite…..eg where do black holes empty their matter to….are they pressure valves between the matter and anti matter universe?
Ha ha….that'll mess some heads up….but that’s what theoretical physics is all about.
Anyway I for one am honoured that the son of God who is the “ Visible one” came to earth and took the punishment for the people He created.
How many of us would do that or even think like that?
The more you get to know Jesus the Christ….the more you realise how inadequate you are and constantly need to lean on Him and His words for guidance and to get reset back on the path called life we always drift from.
Live in a constant state of gratitude. Love people even if they wind you up the wrong way….this is something I need to work on daily as I seem to get grumpier with age when I see what’s going on around me.
Life used to be so uncomplicated and low tech….people allowed to have different opinions and debate them vigorously in a friendly way.
It’s a good thing that Jesus substituted His goodness for mine…otherwise I would have no hope…..when God sees me He will see a sinner with “Jesus was here” stamped on his forehead….that’s the only way I would see what or wherever heaven is….it is a gift from God.

Exactly J.F. Doesn't matter if it's not their kids.
I got cornered by a couple of religious nutjobs the other day. I made an involuntary groaning before excusing myself and getting the hell away from there.
In their wisdom, what's happening at the moment is a 'good thing'.
It's all part of the 'coming together' of the greater plan.
Fark me. Fk religion!!!! Satanists. The lot of them!
