The Daily Journal is happy to host community conversations about news and life in Fergus Falls and the surrounding area. As hosts, we expect guests will show respect for each other. That means we don't threaten or defame each other, and we keep conversations free of personal attacks. Witty is great. Abusive is not. If you think a post violates these standards, don't escalate the situation. Instead, flag the comment to alert us. We'll take action if necessary. It's not hard. This should be a place where people want to read and contribute -- a place for spirited exchanges of opinion. So those who persist with racist, defamatory or abusive postings risk losing the privilege to post at all.Posted by Mr_Lincoln (anonymous) on November 14, 2008 at 6:34 p.m. (Suggest removal)
Is it love to tell people that an all-good God exists which is to say that people should not be valued above all but he should for he is all-good and better than us? That is putting belief before people and if that is right then how could hurting people in the name of God be wrong? The doctrine that God is king and sees the full picture means we must do his commands even if they are morally abhorrent to us for he knows best – is this not the reason why we see religious inspired violence and peoples’ lives wrecked by listening to God’s ministers? Oh what power it gives them! Religion has sinister implications – therefore it is dangerous and no child should be exposed to its seductions.

Seriously, you should consider writing your own material instead of stealing from others.

Christians aren't any better than non-Christians. We are just forgiven for our sins because we asked Christ to forgive us. We all sin every day. We are made that way. Christ forgives, and wants us to share that information and also to live as purely as He did. We strive to do that although we ultimately fail due to our sin nature. We are in bondage to sin, and cannot free ourselves. We will be free of this sin nature once we are changed by Christ at the Rapture. 1 Thess 4 and 1 Corinthians 15. The problem is, those who do not ask Christ for forgiveness are NOT forgiven, and therefore judged a sinner. This is why Christians want the world to follow Christ: for God so loved the WORLD he gave his only Son so that whoever believes in him SHALL NOT PERISH but have eternal life. This is GOOD NEWS! But, there IS a catch, if you are tainted with sin, you send yourself to hell, where there is no hope, no relief. The only way to remove sin is through the precious shed blood of Jesus Christ. As a Christian, it is my hope, and my OBLIGATION to share this message so that as many people as possible will be spared eternal torment. And, yes, God IS better than us - he created us. To paraphrase Proverbs: the FOOL has said in his heart, "there is no God." True, some Christian leaders are wolves in sheep's clothing, but because the messenger is faulty, don't blame the message itself.
Go to youtube and check out a series called "23 minutes in hell." And, Lincoln, how DARE you have the temerity to "protect" children from God's love? You are a dangerous individual and I really hope you see the truth of Jesus before it's too late. I know saying that I'll pray for you will only make you angry, and for that I apologize to your sensibilities, but I WILL pray for you because God loves you as much as anyone! Peace, Joy, Love - yeah, these are dangerous. No, my friend, you are wrong. I sincerely hope you will see the Light, not for me, but for you! Praise Jesus!
