15. evefoster wrote: you got offended by me telling you the TRUTH.. how to you think it makes me feel seeing you make fun of my Father, His Son? But that doesn't matter right? I know for a fact that everyone knows in their Heart what the truth is, people just allow the enemy |

25. chelydra wrote: Actually, I belong to that belief-system that is most certain to offend just about everyone, including unbelievers and satanists. I believe in open-mindedness, and I believe there are probably very interesting reasons for different ways of seeing things. |
26. chelydra wrote: Having said that, the only "belief" I fully and whole-heartedly "believe in" is that there is such a 'thing' (if we can call everything a thing) as reality... What many fundamentalists Christian disparage as Creation (as if the Creation must be by definit |
27. chelydra wrote: ...by definition, nothing compared to its Creator) is really the only way we can ever be sure we are really encountering the mind of the Creator (in "mind" is not to trivial a word) |
28. chelydra wrote: Every religion has a competing God or set of Gods, all believed in just as fervently as the rest (until their faith fades away, but some just keep growing). |

30. chelydra wrote: Now the one who is positive he's found the right path is convinced that those who go to church on Sundays will burn in hell, because those churches are all corrupted—owned and operated by Satan. |
31. chelydra wrote: The other was told his prayers would be answered (at a church a sister brought him into) but they weren't and so he left that church. |

45. chelydra wrote: Many comments ago, you were wishing you could erase your first post where you raised these questions. and part of me wishes I could erase all these, for the same reasons. But perhaps we can be friends AND tell the truth as we see it? |
46. chelydra wrote: But I said I was open-minded and I was not kidding. There is no movement in religion or politics or economics that hath not the potential to commit genocidal atrocities (if it has the potential succeed on a large scale). Thereis still much truth in Christ |
47. chelydra wrote: ...There is still much truth in Christianity, and I cherish it. I do not dismiss any of it as meaningless rubbish, and much of it is as sacred to me as it is to you. Believe it or not, in that I include the opening chapters of Genesis, and the closing cha |
48. chelydra wrote: ... of Genesis, and the closing chapters of Revelations. My reading what they mean is as literal as your reading, and yet I would be very surprised if we agreed on what they mean. But that's a subject for another time. |
49. chelydra wrote: And PS: There is not one word in what I wrote that was fabricated, embellished, or distorted. You can't say that you're surrounded by liars attacking your faith and your God—I can respect your faith and recognize the feelings your describe as true |

53. chelydra wrote: ... are wrong yet who feel no doubts ever; shall we be like them in our own faith? Shouldn't our own faith be so brittle or weak that it would crumble when inconvenient facts are considered with an open mind? |
54. chelydra wrote: One of my ex-brothers-in-law — tells me that God deposited the skulls of cave men in the caves of Europe and in the sands of the Great Rift Valley to test our faith in His Word. |

59. chelydra wrote: ... laying traps for His own believers so he can find more excuses to burn the doubters in Hell. |
60. chelydra wrote: But all this is about mind-games and logical puzzles. It says nothing against the subjective truth of what you feel in your heart, which I totally respect. |
61. chelydra wrote: And I'm glad you took the time and trouble to engage in your defense of your faith, and I hope you feel likewise about my sermon on open-mindedness. |
62. chelydra wrote: In #53 above, I just noticed what could probably be interpreted as a "Freudian slip". What I intended to say of course was "Should" not "shouldn't" |
63. evefoster wrote: Okay Blown Away... Thank you... I had a really hard time typing anything to you..i would type then find out it never went through |
64. evefoster wrote: so i learned to make short comments.. and you cant imagine what it is like to be a mother of 7, a wife, a maid, thankfully i dont have to cook much, my daughter loves doing it.... |
65. evefoster wrote: and you must take in consideration my gender.. there are reactions that i have that my husband would never have, and frankly he is always right, as painfully as that can be to say, but its also keeps me safe, which is a good place to be, as a women. |
66. evefoster wrote: you have touched on a subject that has ONLY RECENTLY ,WELL, IN THE PAST FOUR YEARS even been put out there |
67. evefoster wrote: even tho we have all felt it in our hearts for a very long time... That the synagog of Satan is The Christian Church... and we know that Love doesnt create lies in hopes of creating faith |
68. evefoster wrote: people think that refusing to deny something is faith, thus if i refuse to deny that Jesus is the son of God etc.. i will go to heaven and have great faith |
69. evefoster wrote: Faith IS the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for AND the evidence of things not seen |
70. evefoster wrote: what the synagog of satan does is read cherry picked scriptures then tell people that is applies to them... these preachers, no matter who they are spend the entire sermon speaking their words |
71. evefoster wrote: like God is unable to dummy down to us and speak to us plainly... The Word of God was never written to the flesh, yet we automatically apply it to our flesh... His Word is Spirit, It is Alive, Much like Art can be.. but it can NOT be interpreted ...I be |
72. evefoster wrote: I believe we are here for one reason, to answer one question |
73. evefoster wrote: to find out who we will serve... will we serve evil, which means we only serve our flesh, which results in the 7 deadly sins |
74. evefoster wrote: or, do we serve God/Love which means we will be renewed in our thinking, and become to be just like Jesus, and be filled with the 7 Spirits of God, then get to spend eternity with God in a place that would and does exceed our imaginations ability to come |
75. evefoster wrote: up with anything so fantastic... there is no better way to be tested then to have evil being offered to us , not by God but by Lucifer |
76. evefoster wrote: for God can not be tempted with evil or temp us with it... what i meant by the lies of everything we were ever taught were lies... |
77. evefoster wrote: was this..think about it,...in this kingdom we are forced, pretty much to go to school, there we were taught lies... , then church.. the radio, tv. this place.. filled with fear, doubt of everything |
78. evefoster wrote: we are all litterally set up to fail...why? So that if a person does get a revelation about God |
79. evefoster wrote: they go to a religious place to make sure they dont find Him... then we are all trained to lust, lets not forget PRIDE... you know |
80. evefoster wrote: you dont need me to tell you that we have all been trained unknowingly by the enemy to be slaves to the lust of the flesh |
81. evefoster wrote: So why are the christains double agents? and they dont even know? Part brainwashing, and being deceived into thinking they are saved , born again |
82. evefoster wrote: slaves to righteousness... when in fact they are not and have become the furthest a person can be from God, calling themselves men and women of God |
83. evefoster wrote: yet , they serve the enemy day and night, thier good deeds are done to hide who they really are , they do everything to be seen by men |
84. evefoster wrote: God can respect the Muslim, and if that muslim gives his life to save another person from being killed, |
85. evefoster wrote: there is no greater gift, they will not go to hell...who goes to heaven...well does the women who went to church every sunday and wont even look at a person |
86. evefoster wrote: who asks for pennies on the street, or the women who was a prostitute her whole life then murdered after being raped...who goes? the prostitute will enter Heaven...we are Judged by what is in our hearts, not what the flesh does or did |
87. evefoster wrote: what if the church going women only thought about having sex with everything and anyone all the time but never did it in the flesh |
88. evefoster wrote: and the prostitute had no way to survive and hated every second , but in her mind she imagined herself pure and good |
89. evefoster wrote: what i am saying is..we will be judged for the imaginations we have . the things done in secret.. for it is our spirit doing them..Our robot |
90. evefoster wrote: we are in returns to dirt..its just dogs doing dogs... and its when a person realizes they cant stop thinking evil thoughts ..thats when we need help |
91. evefoster wrote: every day is a new day to stop being devoured by evil..for what we do in our spirit will manifest in the flesh eventually... |

94. chelydra wrote: hats to be seen, and cool sun glasses. Summer will soon be over and life too. Make the most of it..... That was a sort of poem, by a young woman who was my student and my friend. I was teaching a writing class in a program for people with what we call |
95. chelydra wrote: what we called (politely) "mental health issues"... most of my students had good reasons for those "issues". This woman, only 18 or 19, my youngest, seemed simply magical, full of grace and joy. |
96. chelydra wrote: When I saw comment your comment #88 I almost felt an electric shock, or maybe a tear trying to flow, or both at once. |
97. chelydra wrote: Because one day I was in the office and I knew that as a teacher I had a right (though not a duty) to review my class's files... to learn their stories, their diagnoses, etc. |
98. chelydra wrote: Out of curiosity I looked at her file. She was from another country (far away) and had been sold into sex slavery, kept drugged, and trafficked to the country where she was my student. |
99. chelydra wrote: I had never looked at anyone's file before, and I never did it again after hers. |
100. chelydra wrote: I don't remember if the file said how she has escaped from that life. I probably didn't read that far. I never shut people up when they wanted to speak openly about their experiences., among friends they had come to know over time. But no one is the clas |
101. chelydra wrote: But if anyone showed on the first day wanting to talk about their diagnosis and ask about other's "mental illness" we'd quietly and nicely change the subject. The humiliation and dehumanizing was not happening in that classroom; that door was where it st |
102. chelydra wrote: stopped. I felt like I'd violated that beautiful sweet girl student by reading her file and learning her story, which she was free to tell me whenever she wanted to, if she ever wanted to. And free not to. We were free in that room, as much as we could be |
103. chelydra wrote: could be. I was learning from them as much as they were from me. I was learning nothing about craziness, but a great deal about sanity. And humility. And what the Bible calls Grace, which was abundantly evident in those students (aged 18 to 70s) and the |
104. chelydra wrote: and the staff too. There were all different religious backgrounds but I don't recall religion doing much good or much harm except in one or two 'cases'. But it's hard to imagine a place having a better feeling to it... a sort of holiness on out best days. |
105. chelydra wrote: It was really a church, I think, in the best possible sense of that word, although probably everyone who was there would laugh out loud at my saying that. |
106. chelydra wrote: Judge not, lest ye be judged. Behold the lilies of the field... The kingdom of God is within you... The magic is in the simplicity, the openness... |
107. chelydra wrote: I don't think you need to fret so much... Or condemn so much. People condemn themselves; they don't need our help. Uncondemning is often more to the point. Maybe it is the point. |
108. chelydra wrote: "Summer will soon be over and life too. Make the most of it". Thank you for reminding me of her, the purest soul I ever knew. Inner peace and glowing eyes. Peace be with us... |
109. chelydra wrote: Sorry about saying you fret and condemn, that wasn't really fair at all. It wasn't exactly what I meant to say either. Maybe just the poem's closing words... Be grateful for this life and enjoy with reverence. |
