What's with the Jesus skywriting?

[Dr.Snark]

I am just a messenger. I am delivering a message.

God needs to employ a messenger service? Might be better off with FedEx or UPS.

When did I say that you didn't have faith and love in someone who loves you? You don't know me or any of these other people either, but you sure are quick to pray for them to turn to YOUR religion and be like you! I judge you by the posts you make, and I feel you are arrogant in your religion making excuses for your witnessing and honestly it continues to anger me.

It's people like you that make me very ashamed to claim I am Christian because I'm afraid of being looked at like a fanatic. I believe that anyone can believe whatever they want to believe and that is their right. I don't pray for anyone that doesn't ask to be prayed for, and I am quite happy to live my religion privately with God. And yet I'm scared to death of being judged as a bible thumper because of the people out there that are.

Mark 8:38, Luke 9:26, II Tim. 1:8
That is why I share. I am not ashamed of being a fanatic. There are lots of Disney fans, Sports fans, Rock Star fans, whatever...I LOVE JESUS!

So some people have no problem with the posts that say there is something wrong with people who have not accepted Jesus.

Good to know.

 

[Uncle Remus]

Isn't that witnessing? I thought you were just stating your beliefs and not delivering a message to anyone?

 

[Zippa D Doodah]

It's okay, I realized after I posted that the apology wasn't directed to the few people that you blame for what you posted.

I feel like a bit of a target at this point. Again, not sure how to respond to this post either, but I will just let you know that I noticed (disclaimer: no sarcasm intended)

 

[Joyce Kingkade]

One is synonymous with the other! My life + Jesus = a witness for Him

I have never said there is something wrong with them. Those are your words. There must be something "right" with them if God valued them enough to send His Son to die for them.

Save it for somebody doesn't know better.

I'm afraid you just don't know how ridiculous that sounds to someone who isn't as ... enthusiastic ... about that belief system as you.

This is the most condescending thing I've ever seen posted on this board.

 

[Mrs.Toad]

I am glad you feel something radiating from my posts,

When you post stuff like this:

You are loved!!! ( I know that makes you gag!)

no radiation is required. It's quite clear that you aren't trying to share the good word, but that you are only trying to make other people "gag".

And you know it, too. Otherwise you would have answered me when I questioned your comments earlier in this thread.

Hey Joyce,
If I'm reading this with your correct intention, I had the impression that you were trying to make a little peace here. I didn't think that you were trying to tell any non-believers that there is something wrong with them, just that (according to you) everyone is worthy of having a chance to get to know The Lord.

To everyone..Believers & Non-Believers alike,
We obviously all have very different beliefs, but they are our own. And we have a right to them. I don't see the non-believers changes the believers..or vice versa. There is just so much hate & intolerance in the world already, so much war. It would be good if we here at The DIS could just agree to disagree. Anyone with me to put an end to the back & forth?

So the other week I went to the BEST restaurant ever. Great food, fantastic service, and boy was it cheap! The perfect restaurant, in my opinion. If fact, I loved it so much I want to tell everyone I know about this great restaurant that I found.

So I tell you how great this restaurant is.
No thanks, you reply, you don't like that kind of food.

But the service is excellent!
Thanks, you're happy with the restaurant you go to.

Did I tell you how cheap it is? Really, you HAVE to try this restaurant.
But you're not looking for a new restaurant right now.

The decor! The other patrons! It's just wonderful, you would really enjoy a meal there!
You're not hungry, but thanks.

I have a coupon for 50% off! And kids eat free! Here, take it!
No, you already told me, you don't like that kind of food and you're happy with the restaurant you go to.

But why do you like THAT restaurant? It's dirty, and it's expensive, and the servers are soooooooo rude. MY restaurant is so much better than your restaurant! My restaurant is the best restaurant ever! EVERYONE needs to go to my restaurant! You are just stupid and silly and wrong for not going to my restaurant! In fact, my restaurant is so good that there shouldn't be any other restaurants allowed to serve food! That will show everyone how good my restaurant is! My restaurant is the best ever! Those other restaurants, the ones that serve Mexican food, and Italian, and Chinese, and French, and Thai, and Barbeque, and all those other foods, well they are just wrong and their food is disgusting. MY restaurant is sooooooo much better, why can't you just see that?

^L O V E This.^

And for those of you who think I need saving - thanks anyway.
Hey go ... "save" ...yourself!

Now,I think I'll go look for some satanic graphics to put in my sig
and see how that goes over.

It is hard to believe isn't it? Why would He care? It is amazing that He does and I am so glad that He does. I do believe He cares about you too. You have to determine that for yourself. I know it is hard to accept. And I would never force you to accept it. God doesn't want puppets, He wants us to choose to love Him.

I just want to let the non Christians know that I do know where you are coming from.We are just telling you all this stuff because we care.

If any of you ever have any questions about Jesus you can PM any of us with your questions.

The last two posts just have me

Are you kidding me? You know, not everyone is called by Christianity and the Christian God. Not everyone wants to be either. So now because they don't believe and don't want to hear it or don't want to be prayed for they're ignoring God calling them? I can't even begin to explain how speechless this line of thought has made me.[/QUOTE]

I get that you don't want anything to do with Christianity, I do wonder why, and why can't anyone research what is being shared. If someone highly reccommended another restaurant to me, I might have to investigate to see if they possibly knew what they were talking about. The Bible does state that Jesus died for "all". But you are right not everyone wants to be. You can skip my posts. If you ever want Him or need Him, He is just a prayer away.

What makes you think we don't know about Jesus? I was a Christian for 30 years..Many of us were raised as Christians.

Honestly,I don't mind prayers. G-d knows I can use them..What I do mind however, are prayers that I leave my religion and find Jesus.

I was also raised a Christian and was one for the first 20 years of my life.
