Heyy everyonne... Long time no see (:

Yikes, what a godless quote!

The problem with you teenagers is that you just have no idea how vain life on earth really is. There is nothing in this world worth pursuing, and if you continue your pursuit you are going to regret it one day. You'll either regret it because you tossed your soul away, or because you wasted years you could have spent serving God.

Quest

I completely agreed with your comments other then your generalization on teenagers. There are many teenagers that are following God and have a much bigger desire to love God then a lot of ChristianAdults do, please don't generalize us all into one catagory.

Don't fear Cako! For I have seen your excellent responses in this thread, and I assure you that I didn't have you in mind when I made my statement. But yes, I realize that I was generalizing and I see that I've been corrected. I will exercise caution in the future.

God bless,

I'm going to refrain from responding how I would have liked to respond to this for a variety of reasons.

You do that. Just leave Meg and everybody alone and I'll leave you alone, with a discrete warning.

How can you say that mate? Many of the great names in Earth's history have significantly improved on the lives of many because they pursued their dreams, such as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in their pursuit to reach the moon, Eddy Mabo in his pursuit to win back the land for the Aboriginal Australians, and need I mention the founders of the very land on which you live and breathe? If they never pursued their aspirations to build a nation, where do you think you would be?

Seriously fella, no disrepect, but you can't wear a picture of a renowned historic figure as your default photo and say that nothing is worth pursuing. Bless ya.

Yikes, what a godless quote!

And also, if herein exists a single entity that is godless, then that person isn't my friend Joey. She is more accepting of the diversity of human beings than you and Caleb put together.

Heh, wow... Thank you Beau for the back up! But I can surely say Caleb is one wise kid

Hebrews 11:6 (King James Version)
6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Matt 7:
21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

There are many people who have done many wonderful things, but if they do not have a living faith in Christ they will not please God.

Luke 12:
31But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
37Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

We must have our mind on eternal things, and not worldly things. This is why I made my comment earlier in this thread, that many teenagers still believe there is good to be found in this world.

Philippians 1:21-23 (King James Version)
21For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
23For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

I encourage you Beau to find that gift of faith from Christ which will enable you to say along with Paul: "To die is gain." I am seeking it, I'd be happy to help you seek it likewise.

Former American President Abraham Lincoln was a Christian. As one of America's neighbours I'm sure you would have heard of him along the grapevine. I'd like to do a Caleb and use a quote for your reference, from his Gettysburg Address:

"It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Thank you. Also, I have to apologise for my saying that you don't accept the diversity of humans... I can't assume whether or not you actually do, but I suppose I just said that in the heat of debate, as well as the willpower to defend my friend all the way. I hope I didn't cause you any specific phychological harm.

Heh, wow... Thank you Beau for the back up! But I can surely say Caleb is one wise kid

I was glad to Joey. I'm not gonna let my friends go it alone anymore. From now on, I'm your armour!

I think you should add William Wilberforce to your Lincoln argument as well.

I don't understand your point however. These men didn't live for this world and that was why they were able to do their jobs without fear of reprisal from men. They said like Paul: "To live is Christ and to die is gain." Neither of these men stored up treasures on earth, their hearts were always on their treasure in heaven. They loved God with the whole heart, soul, strength and mind, and their neighbor as themselves.

Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa.

Evvvverybody. Calm it down pleaase.

That boy took his ex back because she'd sleep with him. End of story there.

In the meantime! I aam currently talking to a Christian named Kyle D

SOO. Thank you Beau and Joey

God bless all of you, but this is getting ouut. of. hand.

I'd advice against letting another human be your armour, not a very wise choice. How about that armour of God? I'd much rather of God fighting for me.

Mate, Abraham Lincoln did what he thought it right to do because he was a leader. Is it not enough to you that he was an ambitious man that was also a God-fearing man? We as humans do what we can on Earth while we're mortal humans. Just leave it.

No probs Meganne! It's just that a few... unconvinced people needed some sorting out, and I have actually wondered what you must be thinking about all this! From now on, I'ma take my rebel yelling elsewhere!
And good for you! I hope all goes well with that.

Caleb... it was a well-intended friendly gesture. Joey is a good friend to me and I intend to be the same for her, to the very best of my ability. Would it be okay with you if I feared and worshipped Christ the Lord and still have friends? Thank you so much!
