Today's revelation is that people who are like 5% pirates still get into heaven.

I started this meditation thinking that there are people that I like, and people that Jesus likes, and those two groups are not always the same. Anyone who lives in town feels this way, it's what you tell yourself to get along with crowds of annoying people. When I go home I can abuse my own possessions if I so wish, but silly humans are the LORD's children, the LORD's de facto possessions and I'm not to mistreat them. I'm allowed to vent and speak my mind but not commit outright abuse to my neighbors merely because it temporarily appears convenient.

OK, every city guy knows that. So I got to thinking that I like police. But I don't like every person simply because they're a cop. And I dislike criminals. But I don't dislike anyone simply because the police dislike that dude. I don't dislike everyone simply because a politician accuses them.

And I dislike pirates. But just because I dislike a pirate, doesn't mean that the LORD dislikes the pirate. The LORD made the pirate. The LORD knows the number of hairs on the pirate's head.
 
Guys look. I have no authority to send anyone to Hell but I do have an obligation to make sure ppl are warned. Look at God in the Bible. He always warns before He gets Angry. I would love to sighed w you but I can't. My conscience won't let me. I don't mean to be doom and gloom I really don't. All I want is 4 you to know who He says He is. I was talking to A Muslim the other day. He was telling me how the USA are the great Satan. Yeah I can kinda see his point. The Lord convicted me to give him a little money so I did. Out of that obedience this man has a different type of love now. Always thanking me. I'm like look I've been in need I know what it's like. If Heaven was nothing but a eternal porn simulation well I'm not going cuz even tho a woman is attractive, there more then that. Their a soul w a heart. If I truly didn't care I would allow these forums to be turned into reddit but I won't. In 2017 I stood up 4 Christ when no one else would. Now it's spread like wild fire not because of me but Jesus. I just so badly could show you what I saw on the other side. You'll be like forget this life I want that. Hopefully while mellowing out you'll see Christ in some fashion. Scripture says God desires all to be saved but already knows many with reject Him. It's sad. I didn't do anything by my own power but Christ Himself.
 
the church can not find the right path to people i think,because is very dogmatic and hard to understand i think...in some societies church is still factor......and in the west goes things like transhumanism,AI,....some kind "new religion"

I don't think this is a particularly good thing. Research has tended to demonstrate that people with low empathy, broken people, narcissists/sociopaths/ASPDs - for example - are often very prone to believing in God or other supernatural forces. When there's nothing else to constrain their more malignant and selfish impulses, believing that there are supernatural or afterlife consequences probably plays a significant role in tempering that behavior. Strip that constraint away from them, them why not just push things as far as you can take them?

Uh huh. And theres no broken people on bluelight?
 
Never believed in in god born into the Sikh faith tell you the truth wish i could.
My wife is a catholic and she takes my kids to Sikh temple and church. I go to the Sikh temple when the family events and my kids had all the events in both both faiths . The one thing i like sikh religion it says there is a thousand paths to god but only one god he judge the man or women not the faith they born into.

Yeah, because western civilization is totally getting better now that we’re in the post-Christian era. All our institutions are way less evil than they were

OHHHH yes, very much so.

maybe once religion is the extreme minority, we can move on and start the hard journey to making life a heaven on earth.

Seems the more Christian a nation or civilization the better it is. Like Western civilization, unlike india where they step over dead bodies in the street en masse. Sorry but we didnt have orphanages but rather child work camps before Christians built them. No red cross. No salvation army. No shelters (yes theyre all Christian), no peace corps, nor doctors without borders. Founding fathers called for prayer over 1,000 times. 195 of our first 197 universities started to study the bible, incl harvard seminary, princeton seminary etc. Also oxford, cambridge, etc. These very same places in the post-Christian era are turning into indoctrination camp jokes. Do you really think atheist north korea or atheist stalinist russia were heaven on earth? The promise of a man-centered, heavenly utopia has killed the most (the very concept you just wrote⬆️) Christian leaders have not. Also, who can claim usa is better in the post-Christian era? Interesting moment in debate between atheist and Christian:

So then you believe there is only the physical universe and nothing else? Or what?

Yes this is all we got i would love to believe me and my wife and kids be together in heaven but i never in my mind believed it .
I help loads of my friends give to NSPCC because I feel for them, not for some reward . As a child my old man beat the cunt out of me and my brothers . During summer vacation i went to a relative thought she love me and it be 2 weeks of respite from beatings before the peach harvest started she drugged me up and for 2 weeks i was sexually abused. What god would do to a child?

That s horrendous, my man, and I can t even imagine how that shit affected u,and honestly I work a lot on the "problem of evil " from an academic point of view but when I m confronted with the "real deal " I don t know what to say. Still, IMHO God gave us free will, some people abuse this freedom some people use it for doing good things. Moreover IMHO God does not cause evil, at most He permits evil, in order to gain a greater good or to avoid some worse evil. what s worse than abusing a child ? I really dunno, but I know that you have your demons like everyone here on BL still from what I read you are a good husband, a good father, an hard working man, you do your best to give good advice here on BL despite all the shit you had to face. You could have been an abuser yourself but you are not. Here in Brazil they say "Deus da o frio conforme o cobertor" ( literally "God deals out cold based on the size of the blanked" ) , basically the stronger you are the more God allows you to experience shit because He knows u can handle it; and with your up and downs you are handling it. I had to face way less shit than u and mostly I had failed miserably, at times I got it right, I ve seen a lot of evil but also a lot of unexpected good, people I loved let me down and strangers helped me out (i.e. your fellow Sikhs when I was basically starving in London, the people here on BL, etc), I m increasingly convinced that everything has a purpose and that evil is not God´s fault but man´s fault, God gives us the tools to deal with it as long as we are here and also and more importantly our life "down here" is not the end but the beginning. Sorry if I sound preachy but as I said your fellow Sikhs basically saved my life and my faith in God and in humanity back in the days so I feel like I "owe" you something. Btw how crazy is that, an Italian Catholic chatting with an atheist from a Sikh background on an harm reduction site???

My brother apart from private messages that the first time on bluelight i addmited sexual abuse by my moms sister . I had taken acid and meth and i remember her walking into bedrom and got on top and strted sex . I was strong had been boxing since 7 i could have knocked her out but i just let it hapopen for two weeks she give me meth i do what she wanted like a robot . But i have told my wife my family apart from kids one day the words just came out after 30 years of staying quiet i could not stop my mind was saying stop but i had to let it out years of thginking i could have just pushed her of why i jhust let it happen . I went there to get away fom old mans beatings not for her to use me as a seual way ..

Anyone can go to a sikh temple and get a meal we cant refuse when the emperor akbar came rto the templke to visit our guru he had to eat like the rest sitting with the poor sikhs believes we the same in gods eye a king will sit with a beggar for our langar which our free kitchen . I may not believe but i donate to temple to get food supplys give 10 per cent of my money to charities.

I have worked hard built a buisness with cousin still drove a truck . When my old man wpould beat me he would want a sorry i never said it broken noses ribs he nearly killed my brother on a vist to india . He was a paratropper for indian army a war veteran he knew how to hurt .

I never laid a hand on my kids or wife as a kid i would say i will never hit my kids i will tell them everyday i love them and i kept that promnise . My wife we been together since 15 i love her so much but im a cheat i cant even tell you how many time iu have cheated on her ewven though sex with her is the best not becuase of the sex but also it a connection we have the love .

yo man, I m personally convinced that your hearth is in the right place but ffs, read your audience! you are on BL, is your "Fire and Brimstone" approach working? has it ever worked so far? actually what you ve said about porn worked for me, and I thank u for that, but I m part of the club already. You focus a lot about punishment but what about love? what about Christ sacrificing Himself despite knowing full well how fucked up we are? what about Jesus saving the adulterous woman from stoning , not because adultery was ok but because everyone needs a second chance? "
f I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over
so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, is not pompous,
it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own
interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood
over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but
rejoices with the truth.
It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,
endures all things. ( 1 Corinthians 12:31-13:)

She said to me rather then more money can i just have a hug . As i huggerd her she gave me such a tight hug i teared up what had this poor girl gone through where all she wanted was a hug from someone that cared . I have gone back so many times to look for her thought i help her give her somewhere to live but she not there i would love to help her for her to know i care she not scum im here for 2 months will try every week to find her there
