Apparently ...I'm sorry Edwin... do I know you? Apparently I manipulated you in the past according to your comment. Forgive me for robbing you of the opportunity to "respond" to the girl you loved... wow really?<br /><br />Everyone lies... Christian or not... well... everyone except you apparently in the "best years of your life." This is what happens when you base your view of Christianity on the HUMANS around you... your theology need be based on Christ ... not finite human beings who always let you down.<br /><br />I am sorry you had a horrible experience while you were a teenager. Apparently some people hurt you pretty bad. However, I am not interested in arguing on this post... have a nice day Edwin.Bobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04351004755589310946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977954758469148594.post-32664744403259849342009-11-17T02:59:37.483-07:002009-11-17T02:59:37.483-07:00I was manipulated during the best years of my life...I was manipulated during the best years of my life into guilt and fear. I couldn't respond to the girl I loved and I became a freak. People exploited me because I never lied, and always turned the other cheek.<br /><br />Meanwhile hypocrites and manipulators like you pretended to be more virtuous and pious while guiltlessly committing the very things you wanted me to be guilty about.<br /><br />Now it is my move. I will destroy this abusive faith once and for all.Edwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00479562867101526549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977954758469148594.post-9321147547826063002009-11-16T13:12:36.473-07:002009-11-16T13:12:36.473-07:00This is so good to remember.

Finding passion for Christ is the most important thing, yet why is it not encouraged in the terms listed above. It seems like guilt is a way to provoke emotion into action and that may "work faster" than developing a true intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.AmyElizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00799477079919001008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977954758469148594.post-25678717645271169412009-10-22T10:46:16.741-06:002009-10-22T10:46:16.741-06:00I think it's important to let your passion in ...I think it's important to let your passion in Christianity be following in Jesus's footsteps. I know sometimes it is hard for me to not feel guilty when I feel as though I am loosing my connect with Him. I think this is what makes Christinity difficult at times. It's not always easy to be Good and God doesn't expect perfection. But he does offer salvation and peace if we accept him into our lives and follow Jesus. I think the lost of guilt will come when will follow The Way - with time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
