Hey, Tomi, do you remember when you wrote this post?

The following was written by Tomi five years ago on this very Christian debate forum:

"Have you ever visited an Amphitheatre?
No, not a Roman one but a Christian.
Don't exist? Oh but they do because I have just left one.

I woke this morning to fight once more in their arena.
Confident that my fight was about to end, another victory I thought to myself:)

I looked down the tunnel, the sun glaring into my eyes, but I, a little battered, thought this is it, it's over.
A thumbs down from the crowd sat in their seats and it was Lambs to the slaughter, yes???!!!

How wrong was I, these two Christians dressed in White gowns just stood there, smiling, it was their theatre.
They had seemingly appeared not even started this battle.

OMG! I thought, I'd given my all, sweating profusely, tired.
The last bit of my energy had left my body whilst they stood there like Lionesses ready for battle to re-commence.

"Have you pair nothing better to do" I muttered to myself, hoping they would turn tail and leave the theatre.

Not a chance, they just stood there smiling, the smile that I thought I had knocked off their Christian faces, wrong again:(


They being (in no particular order) "Rainy3" and "Refreshed".

I had underestimated my foes, they were battled scarred, borne from their lives in the arena, the same arena that I was at. Unknown by me they had stood the test of time, they had already been through what I had experienced so I stood no chance from the offset had I?

They had knocked the living daylights out of me and these two "cats" were still standing there serenely, ready to continue the battle, Wooooh!!!!

Their Christian Love had won the day and I saw that this morning and I knew if I ignored that, not only had I failed but God had also and I had the sense to remind myself, otherwise I was for the "hopping pot".

They were so graceful so I had no choice but to humble myself before them and Almighty God, I had lost the battle but won the war. I was taught a lesson that will remain with me until eternity.

So if one wishes to take these two on, be prepared to lose the battle and win, if you choose, the loving ways of these two Christians.

That pair had given me the Light to find myself walk the pathway that I have always desired, the Christian Path.

Take your fight elsewhere's girls, I have conceded and will enter into the Christian Arena with you and this time remember how you showed me what Christianity is all about." https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=2054504#i
