You know, you repeat this an awful lot. I have plenty of practice in that which I believe to be important. Very little of what you offer interests me. I have no desire to practice that which is not beneficial to myself or others. Your approach is in no way beneficial to a great deal of the world's population. You refuse to accept this of course, but this is to be expected of one such as yourself. Those with abilities will understand my meaning.
* it is governed by love, for if it is not, it's worthless ( 1 Corinthians 13:1-3);
* it centers us onto Jesus the Christ and Lord ( 1 Cor 12:3), and His good news;
* it directs us to Scripture, not away from it ( Isaiah 8:19, 20);
* it builds up the church and its members ( Ephesians 4:11-12), giving it power, wisdom, character, boldness, and unity.
* it helps create in us a love of righteousness, a heightened sense of sin, and a turning away from known evil.

'Discernment' is sometimes used as a catch-word for speaking against others (as with some 'discernment ministries'), or to defeat them in a struggle for power or influence, or just to pick at them until they quit or retreat. Discerning eyes look for whether something that's labeled 'discernment' is done from love, or whether it just is a clanging gong or a noisy cymbal. Jesus didn't call us to love ideas, he called us to love people. John put it as bluntly as he could :
When discerning, the Christian must keep in mind why he/she is doing it. Ask yourself, "If I raise this issue, how am I pointing people to Christ? How am I helping them grow in the Spirit? In what way am I loving them?" If there's no answer to those questions, or if you have to stretch far and wide to come up with a complicated or weak answer, then it's best not to speak. Indeed, it's time to focus on listening, because it may be your time to learn.

I understand. I thank you for your advocation earlier on in the thread. It seems that the people like Aermacci and Orangetom will willingly take the inplants when they are given out.
I guess this thread is finished. Take care.
May the shadows shroud you and protect you from harm. Merry Part my brother.

What I am saying is that the pagan religions changed nothing out here. Something happened about 1500 which began to change things from what they were ..and eventually bore a fruit which allowd people to live above the basic substance level which was the norm under the nations dominated by pagan/feudal religions. Somewhere between 1500 and 1700 certain historians began to make note that something different was happening and recorded so. It did not happen among all nations but only those which broke away from this ancient religious system.

Fueling the Christian propaganda, what's next. Say that it's treason to be gay. Put us all to death because we happen to "Love" somebody of the same gender. Is it wrong to love somebody. Riddle me this Batman....
Other older pagan sites which show evidence of pottery factories, small towns and the like predating the former two... the list is huge.
Who's to say that technology and science wouldn't have evolved anyway
(remember these came from occult practices such as alchemy and healing which were punishable by death at certain points in history) and in fact organised religion held back these advances and controlled people to be subservient to their masters?
I don't think you have a grasp of relatively recent history at all, let alone the occult, pagan religions, ancient people and how we ended up here today.
Take off your Christian blinkers and get yourself educated.

Semper,
Your losing me here again. To much drama in your post. Speak plainly ..I am not into riddles nor Batman.
Meh if there's too much drama then you should move from the gay topics because even people with Homosexual tendencies tent to be a little more dramatic. Fact......
Oh..one more thing here. There is no instruction as well for a Christian to become an emotional train wreck. The Christian Faith is not based on emotions or emotional train wreck/drama. When I find this in a Christian I separate from them as well. For one thing is quite plain ..they are a wolf in sheep's clothing and not a Christian. They are dupes.
In this I find some of Aermacchi methods to be offensive as well.
Thanks for your excellent point in your post above this one.

If I remember correctly love was an emotion?? I mean I could be wrong, but seriously,dude I thought Jesus taught love and acceptance to the fuzzy wuzzies or some such.
So you proved yourself wrong right there. How can you embrace ideals that you don't fully agree with. By the way I pointed out the flaw in your statement. No need to thank me though. I know you appreciate it.
Oh..yes..and before I forget Love..capital L..is also one of His names among many of His names. By this I do not mean love in the Human reasoning and sense.
I know I think that Aermacci is a heathen, a Devil worshipper.
Notice my post above ...on this page...the post under Cindy's post at the top of this page.

You see you are using the pagan template for love. You are using the template which glorifys human reasoning and logic in describing love. I am using the word Love which is one of His names among many of His names. I am not using it in the human sense. THis can be done to many other names and words for Him and for those who can see hear and understand. No problem SemperParatusRJCC.
How soon we forget while reverting to our human templates. Do not despair for it is very easy for me to forget as well. It takes dicipline to stay on track in this. Believers are not here to glorify and glee in thier human condition. To self glorify.
I've had dealings with Occult Luciferians under oath. I know what is the difference in Luciferianism and Satanism...Devil worshipers.
I also have a small occult library of books by which I do certain research. Not the stuff one gets at Barns and Noble or other book stores. This material is not available through most sources.
The religions of the East and thier dietys and patterns is known to me.
I dont think Ameracci is of that pattern. While I dont agree with some of their methods..I know that Ameracci is not of sufficient subtilty to be of that pattern. Ameracci is anything but subtle. I dont say this to give offense either to you or Ameracci...but it is something I have noticed.
I dont believe you have any trouble understanding the concept that Ameracci is of themselves anything but subtle. And subtilty is Lucifer's pattern in counterfeiting doctrine.
The arena in which I have learned to observe is counterfeit doctrines and dogmas. In all religions..and particularly in the very devout religion known as politics.
Gotta make haste now.
And thanks for your quick reply,
Orangetom
Need???? I did not understand what you are talking about. Im still trying to figure that out. Im not quite getting that?? At all

Glad to be of some help in His name.
I do understand that you have your own path to walk. No problem with me on this.
I will tell you that it times past I too walked that path. Took great pride and glory in it.
I cannot convert you and as stated in my previous posts ...that is between you and God ..not me. Nor can I condem you...that too is outside my jurisdiction and power. Interesting again to me that many Believers do not also know this but buy into this false premise of their pastors/preachers/priests.
Nonetheless..I am gratified that it helps you in your understanding of many things in and of this world. Glad to be of assistance in this.
Must make haste once again.
Lots to do around here today,
Take care out there.
