moralistic holier than thou!

[Ironside]

We can't justify ourselves through each other, let us see with our friends and people sorrounds us who is foolish.

Let us start:
1. Do you drink (liquor,wine)? but I don't.
2. Do you gamble (casino, cock, lotto) ? but I don't.
3. Do you smoke? but I don't.
4. Do you go to night club? but I don't
5. Can you make other people happy?
6. Do you feel ashamed when you take advantage with others?

you can assess these things to yourself.

The self righteous Pharisee:


Lu 18:11 "The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank You that I am not like other men--extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.

12 'I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.'



The repentant tax collector:


13 "And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!'

Lu 18:14 "I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Prove Physically? are you still blind?
How could I prove Him to you physically when He is spirit in the first place.

To you I'm foolish because I believed in God, but for me also through the verses of the bible you're more foolish than me.

We can't justify ourselves through each other, let us see with our friends and people sorrounds us who is foolish.

Let us start:
1. Do you drink (liquor,wine)? but I don't.
2. Do you gamble (casino, cock, lotto) ? but I don't.
3. Do you smoke? but I don't.
4. Do you go to night club? but I don't
5. Can you make other people happy?
6. Do you feel ashamed when you take advantage with others?

you can assess these things to yourself.

Then knowing what is good makes me more believed that there's God.

Peace!

what's your answers to no. 5 and 6. Common......... don't be shy, raise your own chair, common..........

Never doubt the Word of God!!!
It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7):
" Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever
a man soweth, that shall he also reap.


Here are some men and women who mocked God:

JOHN LENNON:
Some years before during his interview with an
American Magazine, he said:
"Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not
have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was
ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are
more famous than Him" (1966)".
Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more
famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.

TANCREDO NEVES:
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got
500 votes from his party, not even God would remove
him from Presidency. Sure he got the votes, but he
got sick a day before being made President, then he
died.

CAZUZA:
During a show in Canecão ( Rio de Janeiro ), whilst
smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into
the air and said: God, that's for you.

I can't even explain how he died.

THE MAN WHO BUILT TITANIC:
After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked
him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic
tone he said: "Not even God can sink it"

The result: I think you all know what happened to
the Titanic.


MARILYN MONROE:
She was visited by Billy Graham during a
presentation of a show. He is a preacher and
Evangelist and the Spirit of God had sent him to
preach to her.

After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she
said:

"I don't need your Jesus"

A week later, she was found dead in her apartment.


BON SCOTT:
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979
songs he sang:

"Don´t stop me, I´m going down all the way, wow the
highway to
hell".
On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found
dead, he had been choked by his vomit.


CAMPINAS/SP IN 2005
In Campinas, a group of friends, drunk, went to pick
up a friend. The mother accompanied her to the car
and was so worried about the drunkenness of her
friends and she said to the daughter - holding her
hand, who was already seated in the ca r: "MY
DAUGHTER, GO WITH GOD AND MAY HE PROTECT YOU",

She responded: ONLY IF HE (GOD) TRAVELS IN THE BOOT,
COZ INSIDE HERE IT'S ALREADY FULL"

Hours later, news came by that they had been
involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the
car could not be recognized what type of car it had
been, but surprisingly, the boot was intact.

The police said there was no way the boot could have
remained intact. To their surprise, inside the boot
was a crate of eggs, none was broken.

Many more important people have forgotten that there
is no other name that was given so much authority as
the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus
died and rose again, and he is still alive. JESUS!!!



P.S: If it was a joke, you could have sent it to
everyone. So are you going to have courage to send
this?.
I have done my part, Jesus said "If you get
embarrassed about me, I will also get

embarrassed about you before my father

What benefit does it have, if a man gains the whole
world but loses his soul?

What can man give in exchange of his soul? (Mathew
16:26).

--
God will put his angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go. - psalms 91:11

kuyawa ani no?
death is associated with mocking God.

Conclusion,
If you mock God you will end up dead. So, don't mock God.

Mao tingali na secret sa mga tawo nga dugay kaayo mamatay...hangtud gi-ango ango na! balik pagka-bata! libang ug ngihi sa banig.

Nothing we could ever do would affect or require God to react.
We are so small and minute compared to God and His universe.
Why would God notice us?
The Bible or any religion for that matter, think that God loves us that he gave His only son to save us.
It is all based on the assumption that we are the only living being in the whole universe.
But if we really try to think about it.
We may realize that we are not alone in this universe.
God created a million or more planets with beings like us.
Let me explain more.....
Light supports life.
Without our Sun we would never survive here on Earth.
Our Sun is a star.
In our own galaxy, the Milky Way, there are at least 250 Billion stars.
And there are Millions of Galaxies in this universe.
There are approximately 100,000,000,000,000 stars in the universe.
Can you really say that we are alone in this universe?
Have you seen the city at night from the hilltop?
When you see all those city lights, can you tell me that there is only one family living in that city?
Look at the sky at a clear evening.
Can you tell yourself, with all those stars in the universe that you are alone in this universe?

[Stingray Sr.]

For me, John Lennon is one of the highly respected men in history.
He introduced transcedental meditation to the west.
He was very much in-touch with his soul.
When you are in touch with your soul, you will know and realize your mission in life and your talent.
Look at the song he made, "Imagine" is a true song needed for this world to have peace.
He wrote 151 song in his lifetime most of them are chart hits.
It was that Jap girl who introduced her to drugs and eventually he lost his principles and everything he stood for including his life.
He is also just human.

Good. i feel sorry for mr. lennon. what a waste. Their popularity not translated to rally people especially the young to goodness with all the drugs..... sayang..........

The self righteous Pharisee:
Lu 18:11 "The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank You that I am not like other men--extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.
12 'I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.'

The repentant tax collector:
13 "And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!'
Lu 18:14 "I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Wait a minute bro, are you implying that its a hyprocracy to tell that I don't smoke, drink and gamble?
Unsa man diay angay dili ipakita sa mga tawo bro?
Diba kini?

1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
Matthew 6:1-4

og

5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Matthew 6:5


Naa ba ko giinon or gipakita nga naglimos og nag-ampo sa ubang tawo, diba ikaw man gani naay prayer gihimo dinhi sa storya.net?


Your using the verse out of context, the good works must be shown to others pero ang paglimos og pangadye hasta fasting kay dili ipakita sa tawo kungdi imo buhaton sa hilom.

I leave everything to the readers of this forum to judge if IRONSIDE is using the verse correctly.

Peace!

what's your answers to no. 5 and 6. Common......... don't be shy, raise your own chair, common..........

wow what a nice offer.
Have you notice the last part of my statement?
It goes like this:

"you can assess these things to yourself."

so dili angay isulti kungdi i-assess ra.

and besides, is it raising my own chair when I say I make other people happy ?(not all people because number 1 your not happy with me).
and is it raising my own chair when I say I feel ashamed when I take advantage with others?

Do I sell "pan-os" or "bahaw" with my business?
Thus my weighing scale has defect or tikas?
When my change (sukli) is excess do I return it?

Peace!
