Do you know what you are doing?

Kutuuk, Do you realize what you are doing here on the Message Board? You are talking about things that you yourself do not understand; I can tell from your cut-and-paste remarks. You are telling people things about them that you have no evidence to substantiate, and then you are instructing them on how to remedy their supposed ills (sin). It is equally as dangerous to prescribe things for another person's mind (I know you think you are dealing with their soul) as it is to prescribe drugs for their body without knowing what the outcome will be. Please be considerate and do not condemn us all to your personal hell by playing on people's emotions; some body reading your post might just be having a bad day but they are not racing off to hell. Kutuuk, you are not born again either, you have the same body you came from the womb in; and you do not have a heart any different than all the rest of us: you know what is going on in your mind (heart). But not being born again and not having a new heart does not make you bad (sinner) it just means you are the same as all people. I think that you have gotten so caught up in this Christian thing that you feel guilty about your own inadequacy (because you still have the same things going on in your heart as before) so now you are trying to salve your conscience by showing others how to do what you haven't been able to do for yourself (not because you are not a good person, but because it is not possible). I believe you and I should be good people, kind, caring, productive; but when you tell a story about a woman be angry in city traffic as if that were the proof of the devil in her, that's too much. You still get angry Kutuuk, so is it only a sin if you show it like the lady, but when you hide your anger then it is not a sin. Por. 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper... How about Eph. 4:6 Be ye angry and sin not; let not the sun go down upon your wrath. So your New Testament understands that all people get angry and it is not a sin, but it advises that we let it go so it does not turn to wrath, which might cause us to do harm. All that I am saying is that you do not bring joy to everybody by telling us we were born to go to hell and that only by following your prescription can we avoid that fate. Further, it is doubly cruel to tell us that we may not be able to hang on to it if we do not meet your standards. Please post a video tape of the last six months of your life so we can review it and let you know if you made it or not. So Kutuuk, be good, be happy and do not get yourself overwrought about everyone else; they are all doing the best they can.
