Re: Post written by Rainy. Important Information.
oh, please, you just twist and contradict yourself and spout scripture as cover for your bullshit. a really half-assed imitation of what i genuinely do, which is back up everything i say WITH scripture. scripture is the leader and i am the follower, not the other way around, as it obviously is with you and your ilk. and i am obviously genuine or you wouldnt be trying to imitate me.
get your own genuineness. repent. try some of that obeying yourself. talk to god. listen to him instead of your own flesh.
as far as your post goes, it truly is nonsense. a person can wilfully decide to do things the lord has prescribed and they will get the result the lord says they will. no fear needed. god is not a respector of persons. they can do it as an experiment. they can do it a la carte. they can respect their parents for a long life and get that. people are free to live their lives any way they see fit. that, too, is a gift of god. quit trying to steal it from people.
the scriptures you quoted are also available. but they are not necessary to live a good life, a moral life, a life that follows most christian ethics. atheists do it all the time. they figure they have to live with the legacy they lay behind them. they have a saying, "never trust a christian; they believe in forgiveness." you should really try to grok the meaning of that because i think the lord may be thinkin the same thing.
