I was granted permission to post this OP some time ago by the moderators of GA. At that time, I declined to post my response, mostly because I was led to believe, by the moderators of c/Christianity, that they would moderate their own behaviors. I gave them full opportunity to do this and they did not. I call on scripture
Matthew 7:20 KJV Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Since that time of my lying down with the Lion, I have been
Threatened with bodily harm, specifically the breaking out of all my teeth, by a moderator.
I have been "accursed" by this same moderator, using the Lord's name in vain "I'm sick of your &^%damned lies."
I have been, constantly and without respite, falsely accused. I've been called a liar, stupid, confused, among many other un Christian like deeds. And there is no relief or recourse to be had of this. Just this morning, a post correcting this mod over his explanation for the reason of using the atomic bomb on Japan, was deleted. This would be the final straw. Here is the link to the thread in question
https://communities.win/c/Christianity/p/141FAYi9YJ/thoughts-on-marin-scorseses-sile/c/4JKzpkKuUyr
And a link to the comment that was deleted (the second one in the list.)
https://communities.win/u/Andy_Man45/ (This link also serves as witness to my specific "behavior.")
I am not going to share my personal opinion of this particular moderator's intelligence or attitude, I leave that to those who employ him in his role. I'd like to also make note, that, for this entire time since my last call for correction, he has been completely and totally free to condemn me based on my beliefs while he falsely accuses me of condemning others when I only question their beliefs. This being another fruit that we can clearly see
Isiah 5:20 KJV Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
I'm done with it. Don't come at me with more hollow promises, u/SwampRangers. Remove the evil from your midst. If that should be found to be me, consider it already accomplished.
Andy,
how many x & I was in SHOCK... he thought nothing of it, over 9 months ago. He even said "but it was less than the worst" so he Compared me to the WORST people, this from a man who Judged me only by words, NOT knowing me as a wonderful child-of-God Beloved by Jesus. ---- In the past 4 months, Swamp judged me "improved". But all that changed was his perception, while I'm still the SAME wonderful child-of-God Beloved by Jesus.. I haven't changed. So Yes, mods can destroy a person, & worse, what do they care? Their life goes on.
Lately there was 1 thread where Ciamm deleted me several times RE him personally; - but the rest of 1 year AFAIK we've gotten along peaceably...
Reading the exchange between UA & you, = from what Jesus tells me I think you are right(er). & I will never be catholic.
Just once, this week in fact you told me that since I don't know the Bible like you & some others in c/christianity, I have NOT made a commitment to Christ. -
What you did is try to Summarily Nullify the decades I have spent chatting with Jesus. while you are NOT the judge of my soul, & neither are the 2 mods. - You said at the start here, for anybody to tell you where you are wrong --> telling me "yes honey" doesn't negate your judgment of me. All you have is an opinion, 1 of a warped perception, same as the mod's perception.
Jesus told me that All 3 of you have a >HUMILITY-problem< in that you've all read Matthew 18:2-4 but are Not "living like a Little child", & therefore are Not the greatest in God's kingdom.
And further may I remind (the 3 of you that none of you) KNOW me as does Jesus, my all.
Arent children constantly changing, improving and growing?
Apparently a Majority 'christians' mistakenly ASSume that they are with "constantly growing+changing" DONE. That's when they become those alien creatures aka ADULTS... they LOSE all sense of HUMILITY, &
instead start posting in Internet-forums where they Misjudge... others as the day is long with screwed-UP perceptions like too many others in your Club.
Well if I'm being honest, I feel mis judged by u fairly often. For the simple fact I'm male( u said 99% of males can't be trust) so this means I am judge from the start for something I cant control. U have judge me about my past drug use saying why should we listen to some that has done drugs when we haven't ever. So what about me? I don't feel like ur giving me an honest chance at being part of your Club. And Jesus knows I have tried my heart out. I do consider u part of this family. A huge part. I have usually been the first one to step in if someone calls u a name or something like that. But u judge me for mu faults rather than my heart for Jesus
I have NOT judged you... for your Drug-use in months. - And
When were you Raped repeatedly?, plus my X nearly killed me at 9 weeks pregnant. And then
witness... a Million+ member church REWARD 2 Felons<--THAT's where "99% of males" came from, buster.
As a guy you can much better defend yourself against those Crimes, than I could. You will Never know what such PTS suffering is in your coddled life-experience. At least some men manage to show some sympathy, but not you? - Most people would Not expect such of us to Respect & Trust YOU from Afar... for quite some time; if ever IRL.
Just once, this week in fact you told me that since I don't know the Bible like you & some others in c/christianity, I have NOT made a commitment to Christ. -
How can I possibly bless not reading the Bible?
Andy, I like the way you think. I think you're a few IQ points above the din.
I take no credit for what God has given me, it is His truth that abideth in me and I am humbled by it. I am nothing without Him and I know that turning away from Him, to facilitate and compromise with the things of this world, will leave me with nothing.
I can see this understanding in you too, my bro/sis. God bless.
re "How can I possibly bless not reading the Bible?" Andy, when did you start
that terrible habit of assuming~interpolate~read things NOT true of another soul?
Studying has never been the issue, as I have 7+ Bibles.
My challenge: (after 3 decades of Mormonism), I am learning the Lingo & thoughts of Protestantism. As a recent example: When I said I expect+want to live more perfect as does Jesus -> How much more Committed to living a Christ-like life can you get than that. (yes, I make mistakes daily, I even sin occasionally & I'm continually chastising myself for short-comings) I strive earnestly... I give it All I have & I have MY ENTIRE LIFE starting as a Preschooler, AND I feel Jesus telling me: "Good effort, well done"
so should I have Internet-strangers condemn me as they've loved doing in this christianity-CLUB here this past year (& drive others to suicide); OR
>am I much better CARED-for by JESUS my all< - what do you think?
Here is your original comment that I responded to -
Hey Andy RE "a commitment to life in Christ means that you must learn His Word"
Are you saying that Anybody who can Not instantaneously QUOTE the Bible like (some of you Christians here can QUOTE from the Bible as the day is long) has Not made a commitment to life in Christ ?
Notice how you are not specific to your own question, not the subject of it? You were asking on behalf of "Anybody." I'm not going to be the one to tell "Anybody" not to read the Bible. That doesn't mean I condemn those who do not read the Bible. Everyone's circumstances are different, and many times I have taught that the Word is in believers, through the Holy Spirit. But reading is seeking, and we all should seek, as you have done with 7 different Bibles.
As I told you before, honey, don't take it personal. That's the big problem around that place, taking it personal. Combine that with earthly authority, anything I say can be used against me. Not someplace that I choose to participate in any longer.
ANDY, that response is Not answering my question -
I said "(after 3 decades of Mormonism), I am learning the Lingo & thoughts of Protestantism. As a recent example: When I said I expect+want to live more perfect as does Jesus -> How much more Committed to living a Christ-like life can you get than that ??. (yes, I make mistakes daily, I even sin occasionally & I'm continually chastising myself for short-comings) I strive earnestly... I give it All I have & I have MY ENTIRE LIFE starting as a Preschooler, AND I feel Jesus telling me: "Good effort, well done"
From THIS/MY kind of life - how did you ANDY manage to say to me "How can I possibly bless not reading the Bible?" <- How did you GO there?
