"Hmmm, that could be, but our current location could be too conspicuous if we strike too close to our current base. This might be the first place they look. I say we strike about ⅓ down the route where the forest is thickest," Petir says while pointing at a point along the route. "What vehicular support do we have at our disposal?"

Petir nods and steps back. Seeing that no one has said anything, he steps forward yet again, "Mr. Novil. Do you have a mission planned for us, sir?"

Sure google is working on it but it won't be anytime soon.This is literally the worst idea ever. With how power corrupts, the Earth will be doomed with this.

Petir takes a step forward. "As a pilot, sir, how does the PCAS or other resources threaten possible air surveillance by the militia. I came to possess a Felix through my late father, Major Dmitri Ivchenko."

« on: March 24, 2016, 04:05:17 AM »I know plenty of generous, loving and peaceful people that don't conform to Christianity. I want to go where they are going when they die. Christianity seems like bad mojo to me, especially since it seems to condemn most of our populace to eternal suffering.If you would be so kind to lend your eyes to read, I would like to shed some light on what God thinks about "the world", describing people of the world:
Quote from: John 15:18-25
18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He who hates Me hates My Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. 25 But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’Now, if you want a TL:DR of this, it basically says that God and the world are at odds, and that if Christians were of the world, the world would not hate them. However, since you are of the world within the context of this verse, it is important to know that the Bible works inter-contextually. Next comes the verse that a lot of people know, but often do not include the following verse:
Quote from: John 3:16-17
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.In context, what it means is that despite the hatred that the world showed toward God, God still loved the world, despite the fact that they trampled His name, killed His people, and committed all sin against them, and reached out to not just His people, but the world as a whole to make a sacrifice in able to redeem them. Much of the New Testament following the gospels, especially through the writings of Paul explore in depth more of what this means. I hope at the least this was informative. If it's not for you, then I won't force it, but I thank you if you took the time to read it.
as i said before, i'm not here to evangelize random teenagers on the internet. i gave up this kind of public preaching stuff a long time ago, as Bolster pointed out on the previous page.I am aware. And I thank you for your due caution in that respect, but again, that is not what I am saying.
witnessing to people is only really effective on an individual personal level anyway. hearing it from a friend one-on-one is a lot more meaningful to a person than hearing someone publicly preach it on a forum. i mean you're welcome to go ahead and try, but don't get mad just because i'm not following along.

Here's a good start.
I concede that I'm being confrontational to you, but I'd sooner say something slightly rash than to enable and entice the greater faithless community to antagonize us. Whether you realize it or not, you are giving them the fuel to throw it back at us.

The Bible was written to be relatable by people. Throughout are common experiences that people today might experience, but when stuff like what Ghost is established as the forefront of Christianity, then it estranges people from God, who calls humans to be in community with Him.As I said before. Because you A) purposely set yourself at odds with non-believers, which is contrary to God's calling, B) placed the Christian community in a light of confrontation, judgement, and indifference to others' concern, again, contrary to God's calling, and C), made God less relatable to non-believers. You're being counter-productive.
even if it is "fearmongering", is that such a bad thing? should citizens in europe have simply ignored air raid sirens because they were a form of fearmongering? or should you dislike EBS alerts/amber alerts because they are a form of fearmongering? or should you not listen to the weather channel whenever they say there's a huge storm heading your way because that's fearmongering? SMH.No, because that is a fear of swift and complete annihilation. This is an issue of how you represent God. Last I checked, God isn't confrontational, doesn't use fear throughout the gospels, but proclaimed good news and established the summary of the law as "love your neighbor as yourself."
