If you want respect, you have to earn it.
Faith based beliefs do not deserve respect. Magical thinking is the greatest contributor to strife in the world today.
Honestly I'm all for anything that puts an end to your proselytizing and Trump bootlicking.
Keeping that shit to yourself is an option, but I know that's not really possible for people who've had their brain folds smoothed out by faith.
If the only way you can bring yourself to quit vandalizing this cannabis forum with unrelated religious / political bullshit is by leaving, I support you.
What you don't get to do is come onto a cannabis forum, change the topic to your religion of choice, and then chide people who criticize you for it. If you're a big enough boy to post about your faith of choice in Speaker's Corner, you're a big enough boy to deal with criticism of your magical beliefs.
For some reason the "Filter Posts" feature isn't working.
Hey beta, bro, please give us some space. Our birthright is freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is a natural right. It can't be taken away.
Matthew 5:43-48 NKJV
Love Your Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 [o]But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your [p]brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the [q]tax collectors do so? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Members who are interested in christian fellowship can just post in my thread in the outdoor forum.
Have a good weekend guys!

2 Peter 1:5-11 King James Version (KJV)
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Fun fact: Someone else exercising their right to free speech does not affect your right to free speech in any way.
'Free speech' doesn't mean you can say whatever you want without consequence or challenge, though I understand why you'd prefer if it did.
If anything I'm promoting your right to free speech by adding EVEN MORE free speech to this thread. Free speech for all!
I always liked that bumper sticker..... Jesus please protect us from your followers.
No, Gypsy asked to respect our thread. Why are you targeting the Christians?The Buddist thread isn't being attacked.
I'm not going to waste my time reposting what Gypsy said. The discussion/debate thread is the one I created. This will be a fellowship thread.

I was actually complimenting a Jesus sticker. Meant no disrespect.
Thanks for sharing! The thread is here to stay by the way! Just a friendly invite to my thread in the outdoor forum!
If you do not help boot shit pres we will need a new outdoors.
Which happens to be where I find god.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Revelation 22
Does the highlighted text remind you of anyone? According to what is written, these are unforgiven.

Matthew 25:14-30
The Parable of the Talents
14 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. 15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. 16 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. 17 And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. 18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money. 19 After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.
20 “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ 21 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ 22 He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’ 23 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
24 “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’
26 “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. 27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.
29 ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
Luke 19:11-27
The Parable of the Minas
11 Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately. 12 Therefore He said: “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten [e]minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’ 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’
15 “And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’ 17 And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’ 18 And the second came, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned five minas.’ 19 Likewise he said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’
20 “Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief. 21 For I feared you, because you are [f]an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’ 22 And he said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow. 23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’
24 “And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.’ 25 (But they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas.’) 26 ‘For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 27 But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.’ ”

Hey man, that shit was written 400 years after Christ's tour of duty was done. Do you believe all the fantasy?
Well they say that Jesus saves
He had better save himself from the gory glory seekers that use his name in death.

WTF does it even matter, soon enough we'll all be dead and our spawn too.
2050 is coming up soon enough, and 'no' we won't have gotten it together by then.
Too late, SORRY!!
All we'll be able to say is "LOL" and "hope ya had a good time".

I am in communication with GOD. He says to go watch Joel Olsteen, Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Baker. I was brought up a Christian until I saw the tragedy of war. "You can not petition the Lord with prayer!"
Nobody is listening. Just you.

However, later in the same chapter it says;
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
This means a life of giving is what Jesus calls for. He severely objected to open prayer and other trappings of showing holiness.
You gave me a negative rep for being disrespectful but you did not address my question about the 1000 years of peace.
Have you found the part of the 'book' where Paul(?) says it is not necessary to know or hear of Jesus to be 'spiritually saved' (paraphrasing)?
