Faith & Beliefs / Something Happened

« on: July 31, 2018, 05:44:19 AM »

There's this guy from the Alliance Hmong church asked me if I ever gonna get married. All I did was shrug my shoulders - meaning I'm not sure and I'm not planning to. After that, he went on persuading me that I should be like my oldest brother when he got a wife and children. Well, he doesn't know what the heck I've gone through a lot of relationSHITS with girls' BS.  Marriage ain't the true calling for me. He surely doesn't have the common sense of what scriptures in the Bible say about marriage law and its consequence. There's no point in arguing about the subject. Plus there's no point convincing him he's in the wrong position causing me to sin. For instance, a type of "sin" indicate whenever my spouse goes on an adulterous spree while I stay home not knowing she has an affair with other men. So if I decide to divorce her on my own terms (feeling resentment toward her infidelity) and I go find another wife. Then that means I've sinned adultery, right? No matter what I say to that egghead, he won't deny he's an idiot even though he claiming he's a full-fledged Christian. 

Here are the passages that idiot forgot to go back and check upon:

1 Corintians 7-11

7 Sometimes I wish everyone were single like me—a simpler life in many ways! But celibacy is not for everyone any more than marriage is. God gives the gift of the single life to some, the gift of the married life to others.

8-9 I do, though, tell the unmarried and widows that singleness might well be the best thing for them, as it has been for me. But if they can’t manage their desires and emotions, they should by all means go ahead and get married. The difficulties of marriage are preferable by far to a sexually tortured life as a single.

10-11 And if you are married, stay married. This is the Master’s command, not mine. If a wife should leave her husband, she must either remain single or else come back and make things right with him. And a husband has no right to get rid of his wife.

Matthew 19:11-12

11 But Jesus said, "Not everyone is mature enough to live a married life. It requires a certain aptitude and grace. Marriage isn't for everyone.

12 Some, from birth seemingly, never give marriage a thought. Others never get asked - or accepted. And some decide not to get married for kingdom reasons. But if you're capable of growing into the largeness of marriage, do it."

General Discussion / Where's the Love in the East?

« on: June 21, 2018, 01:42:21 AM »

Guys, have you seen the old news about the persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners that took place in China? CCP planned to eradicate all Falun Gong practitioners just because Falun Gong's ideology was popular and CCP's Marxist–Leninist atheist ideology was not. I sense Atheism is not that loving and civilized society either when it comes to maintaining a sovereign country. Jealousy, power hungry, greed, and blindness were the problems in Atheism.

Faith & Beliefs / Let's Cool Our Head

« on: May 20, 2018, 12:25:10 AM »

Alright guys and gals. Let's take a long break from arguments. 

The topic for today is Global Earthlings versus Flat Earthers. Yep, not religion this time BUT NON-FICTIONAL SCIENCE. Nowadays I've seen this shit circulating on youtube pretty lately. Mane, look at those youtube comments on every video from opposite side of the boards. I tell y'all so many dumb people taking things so seriously, up close and personal, when it comes to something they possibly believe it's real so they needed other dumb people to validate their doubts. Similar to religious debates where both Atheists and Christians arguing each other over God's existence.

Faith & Beliefs / RE: God won't talk to Me

« on: June 08, 2016, 07:01:32 PM »

HmgROCK, if you wanna know why God won't speak or communicate with you because your SINS separate you from God. Heavenly father has the right to ignore you or he even not want to listen to your self-fish prayer. You gotta do God's standard = Once you confess all your sins then God will forgive you, you get closer to God. It's like a broken bridge got repaired that sins severed and the link between you and God can converse.
