[major pain]

lol there's no one on this message board that has worse analogies than you.

What are you even talking about Chike? Memphis brought Plato and Aristotle up in a previous post. I was just using them to illustrate my original point. The Bible is tried and true. It has stood the test of time despite the constant attacks on it. No one can dispute this fact. God bless.

Has christ helped you out with those lustful eyes you had sometime ago?

Sincere question, no mockery.

"Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." Matthew 26:41

When I yeild to the spirit I have victory, but when I trust in my flesh I fall. I am a sinner my friend. The chief of all sinners. I am totally vile, totally corrupt, totally dirty. My whole nature is at enemity with God. But thanks be to God that He provided me with a way of escape, which is through my Lord Jesus Christ. It is only in Him that I can experience victory. And when I listen and obey Him, I do get the victory. But as long as I am on this earth in this sinful flesh, the lust of the eyes, the pride of life, and the thoughts of heart will continue to plague me because I am a sinner. But I am redeemed. And because I am redeemed I no longer let sin have the mastery over me. But yes, I do still slip and fall. Thank God that i have somebody who will lift me up when I fall though. I go to Jesus Christ with all my hurts, troubles, pains, and sins. And because He is a faithful high priest, He cleanses me and forgives all my iniquities. Hallelujah!

" 8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." 1 John 1:8-10

It could be because there are actual physical things to prove that Aristotle and Plato existed. There are many books written about those guys where as the bible god and the biblical Jesus have no real artefactual evidence nor do multiple books outside of Christianity speak about them.

 

[ThaChozenWun]

Because you have not asked Christ to come into your life.

And yea I did for a while, about 6-7 years. And then i said fuck it I'll go find him on my own...... been one hell of a journey.

There are plenty of secular accounts for the existence of Jesus Christ. I thought you were a student of history?

Well if you want truth, you will find it. Because there is only 1 way, 1 truth, and 1 life. He is the the Lord Jesus Christ.

No there are secular account for the existence of Jesus of Nazareth. Most of which have no divinity in them at all.

Jesus Christ.... Nope.

He considers it his gift from God for his diligent work in the field of Christianity.

Jesus Christ.... Nope.

Of course they don't have divinity attached to the secular accounts, note the key word, secular.

I keep it 100 bro. I fornicated before, I ain't got to lie to you. I have to answer to God my friend. I have to give Him an account for all my actions. But thanks be to God that my sins are forgiven and covered in the blood of Christ. But does this give me a licesnse to continue on in sin? GOD FORBID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" Romans 6:1-2

I need help my friend. The devil is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. My flesh is weak and corrupt. And the world is filled with everything that pleases the eye and the heart. If I didn't have Christ as my Savior I would be lost without hope. God have mercy.

And pussy is nice and warm...... come on son... don't give in that easy. Jesus is like marriage bro, and you're too young to be tied down.

I say go have menage a trois til you're 40 and then spend thee next 40 years repenting.

Or just learn the truth, God wants you to hulk smash hoes, when he wants you to quit fuckin he'll let you know. If you choose Viagra at that time then you're spitting in gods face..... not the best choice of words, but you get the point.

I've had my fill of women and guess what? I always wanted more. More, more, more, more, more. My eyes were never satisfied. My heart was never content. My desire was never filled. I was empty my brother. After you get your nut, then what? Nothing. It's on to the next one. And then the next one, and then the next one, and then the next one. When does it end? It doesn't my friend. If you are a slave to fornication, he will be your master. A lot of people have figured it out the hard way, thus they have contracted STD's. God will not be mocked. If you sow to the flesh, you will reap the consequences. I thank God that He spared me from STDs and that He didn't kill me. If God would have, He would be just in doing so. When we violate Gods commands there are prices to be paid. I no longer seek to mock God by continuing on in sin.

Well they do say aint no pussy like new pussy. So I don't see the strange part of wanting more. And if I was fuckin as many women as you I'd feel empty to.

But I am married so I can't say much more to you.

Wow, you all are intitled to your views on God. But to challenge the Bible is to challenge your own place in society. Pretty much everything that surrounds us today stems from the structure thas was passed down through the many great civilizations that spanned the Bible. The political and religious mix that was born out of Constantinople laid much of the ground work for all socieites and the influence of Christianity in those societies.

Now, as to Jesus Christ, history supports the crucifiction. Also, many diciples were given the chance to recant what they had seen as far as Christ rising. Even under circumstances of death they didn't recant their accounts. The Bible is Holy and inspired by God. If you have never felt Gods presence then I do not expect you to understand. I will just check for you at the day of judgement. Imma pass you a cup of ice water for your trip down the elevator.
