The truth of my post hit a nerve .. . always find ways to avoid the logical end of the "system" by deflecting in another direction.
The truth is you did nothing to deserve life, and all sinners deserve death. I wonder why you refuse to acknowledge that. Maybe you would prefer to tell us what a big bad meanie God is to tell us none are good (which you do not believe) and make the wages of sin death. That is certainly more your style.
 
Apparently the glasses wearing monkey has something against the symbol of the Gryphon, which is very similar to how some angels are described in the Bible. It appears he doesn't like unicorns either. Unicorns are also Biblical. But it doesn't matter; we know he doesn't believe the Bible. He prefers his manipulative abusive perverse male fantasies.
Don't worry sis he can't steel what you have.

Besides where I'm from my city is full of Welsh dragons

Lots of lovely ladies who will breath loving fire that will warm your lovely heart 🙂

In the mean WHILE?

Nice dragon tattoo... and dyed purple hair.
Very Christian like, and woke simultaneously?

What are you trying to prove now?
That you can lie your way out of anything?

I have been around people involved in the occult.
Some seemed to be attracted to me.
I was even around a witch who I later found turned out to be a power broker for other young witches.
And, she attended Bible college. And, yes. She learned all the Christian lingo.

It is either a coincidence.
Or, you are acting like one.

He prefers his manipulative abusive perverse male fantasies.

Feminism, too.

Those who defend you here should lay low.
They are exposing the spirits they follow when they do.


Jesus was never shy about this sort of thing.

When Romans 3:10-12, said...

As it is written:
“None is righteous, no, not one;
no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”

Key phrase!

All have turned aside; together they have become worthless.

It does not say....

All have turned aside; together they have always been worthless.

They made themselves become something worthless by resisting the drawing of God.

Romans 3:10-12 is commentary on what becomes of the self righteous unbeliever who resisted the drawing of God, and continued trying to be what they considered to be good as to earn salvation. It is a commentary of the state of what those religious Jews made of themselves when that passage was written.

You are out of context. As usual.

I chose the monkey with glasses because it represents my present state of having the Spirit living and working in me, but simultaneously still stuck in a body doomed for destruction. Transforming me into a temporary status for living for Christ in the devil's world.

The Resurrection body all Christians will receive at the Rapture will make all Christians, as they now are manifested, appear to be like mere monkeys in comparison.

Satan never shuts up, making excuses for himself.
Uh huh.
 
One reason God created the Lake of Fire?

The torments will put an end to all that, once and for all.
Yep if your not imagening his children are witches your imagining his children will be in the lake of fire.

Nobody is tormenting you here.

Your tormenting yourself, or being tormented by something very sinister.

I would stop listening to it if I was you if you are.

It's obvious something as a hold on you causing self pity, maybe it's just you who knows.

Would you like to hear a true Calvie affiliate sermon on how to overcome self pity, from within yourself and how the adversary can make you full of self pity.

It may help you to forgive yourself
 
I've never said anything about his avatar before today , but I do find it very disturbing now that he has given his reason for using it.

I thought perhaps he likes monkeys, but now he says he's using the monkey to display his nature,

So imaginative,

As always... you miss the point.
As your usual means to try to dull the point that was made.
 
That is an interesting view, but I trust that you are aware that the first mention of "sin" recorded is in Genesis 4:7 "If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door." God, in Genesis 3 never calls Adam's or Eve's action as "sin"

Read Rom 5:15.
 
God decreed to have Adam's sin known and recorded for history. But, God did not decree Adam to sin.

You should learn to better master the English language, please.

So things happen in this universe over which God has no control? You think God Almighty runs a much looser ship here on earth than He does in heaven or will in the New Eternal Order?

The ugly monkey being in need of corrective lenses is certainly apt. He does like to try to make himself look smart, despite his blindness. Imaginative hardly describes his perverted claims, to say the woman is whispering in the ear of her equine companion..:censored::rolleyes:

The reason the "worthless" resisted the drawing of God is two-fold: Their hearts were uncircumcised and they had no Fear of the Lord before their eyes. They had zero spiritual empowerment to move towards God because the worthless are God-haters.
