We know the DEI(diversity, equity, inclusion) woke agenda of perversion is clearly the work of the Devil from the pit of Hell. All "Bible thumping Fun-da-mental-ists" as you call them, conservatives, and any other normal person should oppose brainwashing children with books of perversion.

I'm wondering if there is a special place in hell for Satan worshipers. Hell won't be a fun place.. " Jesus spoke of hell as “eternal fire” (Matt. 25:41) and “eternal punishment” (Matt. 25:46). In Matthew 25:46, the same word—eternal—is used to describe eternal life for the righteous and the eternal punishment of hell for the unrighteous. According to Jesus, hell will be eternal. HELL IS MORE TERRIBLE THAN WE CAN IMAGINE. The images of fire (Matt. 25:41), darkness (Matt. 8:12; 22:13; 25:30), the weeping and gnashing of teeth ” (Matt. 8:12; 13:42,50; 22:13; 24:51; 25:30; Luke 13:28), and being cut into pieces speak of the horror of hell. Are these vivid images of hell Jesus literal or figurative? If they are meant to be figurative, then the imagery is pointing beyond what human language can convey. In other words, hell—if not a literal fire and literal darkness—is immeasurably worse than those images and inexpressibly worse than we can even imagine or describe. As heaven is more wonderful than our finite minds can comprehend, hell is more horrible than we can comprehend." What did Jesus say about hell? - Explore the Bible (lifeway.com) Odd that I have been scorned and mocked for "fire and brimstone" talk. Seems the Devil doesn't want it to be known.

Did you know: "The Church of Satan is a religious organization dedicated to the religion of LaVeyan Satanism as codified in The Satanic Bible. The Church of Satan was established at the Black House in San Francisco, California, on Walpurgisnacht, April 30, 1966, by Anton Szandor LaVey, who was the church's High Priest until his death in 1997.[2] In 2001, Peter H. Gilmore was appointed to the position of high priest, and the church's headquarters were moved to Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, New York City. Members do not believe that Satan literally exists and do not worship him.[3] Instead, Satan is viewed as a positive archetype embracing the Hebrew root of the word "Satan" as "adversary", who represents pride, carnality, and enlightenment, and of a cosmos which Satanists perceive to be motivated by a "dark evolutionary force of entropy that permeates all of nature and provides the drive for survival and propagation inherent in all living things".[2] The Devil is embraced as a symbol of defiance against the Abrahamic faiths which LaVey criticized for what he saw as the suppression of humanity's natural instincts. In his book, The Satanic Bible, the Satanist's concept of a god is described as the Satanist's true "self"— a projection of his or her own personality, not an external deity.[4] Satan is used as a representation of personal liberty and individualism.[5] Church of Satan - Wikipedia Would you classify yourself as someone who:- 1. Does not believe Satan exists? 2. Would you say you embrace a defiance against Bible believers? ( see your comment above) 3. Would you say "Bible thumper fundamentalists" suppress humanity's natural instincts? 4. Do you support totally free liberty and individualism of everyone to follow their natural instincts? If you can answer yes to these four questions, you may wish to reconsider your beliefs to see if that is really how you want to be viewed, someone in total opposition to God and his word.

That post was a long time ago. I am not entirely against the convoy. I understand Trudeau was or is a kind of dictator. I am very much opposed to Trudeau's liberal ideology, globalism, and progressivism to begin with and I do sympathize with some of the protester's beliefs.

Yes, I'm sure. Jesus says so in his word, gospel of John. "12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." John 8:12 KJV "12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:" John 1:12 KJV "16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 KJV " 36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. " John 3:36 KJV Of course whenever one speaks the truth to people who are part of the world system, they automatically reject it. They don't begin to "hate religion" They hated it all along. That's why they disagree. "20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you;" John 15:20 KJV

Well I am not familiar with this person and have not read anything he said. Can't really comment on it, other than what I said, that if he part of Opus Dei, which is part of Romanism, it would be suspect. But as I said, I don't know what he says. But the question is what he is doing in that religion? There are some people with a lot of contradictory beliefs.

No really true. I respect Catholics but disagree with the religion of Rome completely. Incidentally I would have been considered a heretic in the middle ages and taken to the Inquisition and possibly burned at the stake as countless people were. I have studied it a fair amount over the years, was once one myself. So I have a fair idea of what it is all about. I have had Catholic friends in the past. Many fine people. But we would never agree about religion in the last forty years or so. That would be the same with cults. I had friends who were in cults. We could be friends, but could never agree about religion or the Bible. The point is there is a big difference between ordinary people and a religion or what it teaches and believes. Jesus said the truth will set you free. Not religion, not cults, not Romanism that claims to be the gatekeepers of heaven. Only Jesus and the truth will make one free and save him.

I'm not sure what an Romanist fundamentalist poster's take would be but it would be completely suspect since Romanism is not a Biblical / Christian religion. Why do you think Rome forbade the reading of the Bible by the ordinary people for centuries. Only allowed it in recent times, but only their version and full of notes explaining how it is to be interpreted. They have no use for the Protestant King James Bible. It would not be on the list of approved reading.

Only in the minds of people who are deceived by the Prince of Deceivers. Since you reject God and his revelation, you put yourself in that category of being an opponent of God and his word. I am not saying anything new. You already stated in many ways you reject God and his word. We are responsible for our own words.

No, the laws given to Israel were primarily in certain books of the Old Testament such as Leviticus, Exodus, Deuteronomy. There are many books in the Old Testament to do with other things. There is nothing to "back pedal" about. Not sure what your point is other than to say I was back pedaling.

One of the primary goals of the Devil is to attack, attack, discredit, smear and cancel believers. That is what I think you are trying to do with me.

Sounds like another lie from the Devil. When someone speaks the uncomfortable truth, you want to accuse the person of pride? Remember the Devil is a master deceiver. That is his main mode of operation. Did the Devil tell you to say that. You should realize the Devil will deceive people into thinking and saying anything to keep you under his influence and keep you as an atheist. That is his primary goal.

In the beginning after God created Adam and Eve, God placed them in the garden of Eden, a paradise. He gave one commandment to them, that is, not to eat the tree in the middle of the garden. They could eat from all other trees. But Satan came along in the form of a serpent and he spoke to Eve, to tempt her. How he spoke demonstrated his tremendous ability to use what God said for his own deceptions. This is what he said to Eve. "3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. " Genesis 3:3-5 KJV If we examine what Satan said, we see he very cleverly contradicted what God had said. Satan said in contradiction to God, "ye shall not surely die". Then he said "your eyes shall be opened", another clever deception. Then to top it off, he said "ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil", a major deception. So we see from this the Devil is a master at using God's words and twisting the meaning. That's why Christians are warned by this and must be on our guard against the deceptions that people use with the Bible.

Isn't it amazing how something as abstract as words carry so much weight in everyone's mind. God gave us his word in the form of the Holy Scriptures. In English it is the King James Bible. The Devil has been given a certain amount of leeway or leash in this world to deceive people. The best defence against his lies or deception is God's written revelation, the Holy Bible. That's one thing right there that makes the Bible so special. People have been attacking Christians for centuries, since the beginning in fact, with lies, smearing, discrediting, etc. But we know where much of that is coming from. These poor people have been deceived. They reject God and deny the existence of the Devil. Now of course that gives the Devil an easy playing field. It means they are completely open to his deceptions. They are open to the world's ideologies and lying claims. They are easily manipulated by the Devil to do his will. That is just a simple but logical fact.

Please allow me to remind you the Bible teaches the Devil is a liar and the father of it. The Devil used the Bible too. He is a master of deceit. The only defence in the world against the wiles and deceit of the Devil is truth and the source of truth is the Bible, which came from God.

How do you know God changed his mind? Can you read God's mind? Maybe His plan was to have that punishment only for that period in history for some reason.

Nonsense. I never said anything about such a thing. I don't try to judge what laws Israel had 3,000 years ago in a totally different dispensation and period. You look like you are grasping for anything to try to support your anti-Bible belief. We know you're just pulling things out of the Bible without any context or knowledge about what it is all about to try to discredit the Bible.

Sorry, I have to disagree. I don't see it as all those things you claim. I try to be respectful and don't make false allegations. I simply state my beliefs as I see it.

How do I make others act on those beliefs? I didn't know I had so much power.

Why do religious people's beliefs bother you so much while non religious people don't? If it bothers you so much maybe your conscience is trying to tell you something.

Yes, the penalty several thousand years ago was death for some things. That applied to Israel at that time. God also destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for the same thing. The flood in Noah's time destroyed the whole population on earth except for Noah and his family who were saved in the ark. God can do as he pleases because he is God. Man thinks he can do as he pleases but will find out that he is wrong.

I just said "God has different plans and directives for people in different periods in history. There were many directives given to Israel in the Old Testament in Leviticus that were only meant for Israel that do not apply today in the Church age. There were ceremonial laws Israel had to follow as well which do not apply to the Church or Church age. For example, Israel had to have a priesthood and offer animal sacrifices on the alter. That was all done away with when Christ was crucified. There are no more priests offering animal sacrifices or any kind of sacrifices for sin in the New Testament or Church age. (except in Romanism) I will try to explain in more depth later. Expecting someone to pick me up any moment. The Bible is divided into the Old Testament and the New Testament for a good reason. Certain books in the O.T. have directives that were only meant for Israel in that period in history because they had a special covenant relationship with God. The New Testament describes the Church age which began 2,000 years ago and believers in Christ are not under the O.T. directives given to Israel.

I have to go out in a few minutes. Will try to answer your question later. LOL That is good for a laugh. I told you before and Michael should pay attention, the Bible is the only rule of faith. The King James Bible is without error and is absolute truth.

Nobody said he "changed his mind about it". God's plan was obviously that there was to be a death sentence in Israel at that particular period in history, but not in the Church age which began 2,000 years ago. It is not a matter of God changing his mind. He doesn't change his mind. His plan was only for Israel in that period. Israel was under a covenant with God and a different dispensation. Yes, I disagreed with his interpretation. I just explained that.
