Happy Easter, He is risen! (1 Viewer)

[Psychopav]

All are welcome to come and be filled. Those who desire faith can pray for faith and they will be answered...why spend your wages for what fails to satisfy?

God bless you this Easter season!

IS 55:1-11

Thus says the LORD:
All you who are thirsty,
come to the water!
You who have no money,
come, receive grain and eat;
come, without paying and without cost,
drink wine and milk!
Why spend your money for what is not bread,
your wages for what fails to satisfy?
Heed me, and you shall eat well,
you shall delight in rich fare.
Come to me heedfully,
listen, that you may have life.
I will renew with you the everlasting covenant,
the benefits assured to David.
As I made him a witness to the peoples,
a leader and commander of nations,
so shall you summon a nation you knew not,
and nations that knew you not shall run to you,
because of the LORD, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, who has glorified you.

Seek the LORD while he may be found,
call him while he is near.
Let the scoundrel forsake his way,
and the wicked man his thoughts;
let him turn to the LORD for mercy;
to our God, who is generous in forgiving.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
nor are your ways my ways, says the LORD.
As high as the heavens are above the earth,
so high are my ways above your ways
and my thoughts above your thoughts.

For just as from the heavens
the rain and snow come down
and do not return there
till they have watered the earth,
making it fertile and fruitful,
giving seed to the one who sows
and bread to the one who eats,
so shall my word be
that goes forth from my mouth;
my word shall not return to me void,
but shall do my will,
achieving the end for which I sent it.

You have heard it said you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. For if you love only those who love you, what reward is there in that?

Again?

Happy Easter Everyone!

But its OK to post this kind of stuff, right Baloney Sandwich?

Its funny how the non-believers just can't help themselves and have to post things like this. They must be so offended by these "fairy tales" that they resort to ridicule, rudeness, etc.

But that is what Christians are used to these days. Attacks against their beliefs from everywhere. Jesus said this would happen, so I'm not surprised.

Happy Easter!

What makes you think I'm a non-believer? I'm not attacking faith. Just that clown.

You think its important to attack people you don't like in a thread dedicated to jesus ? Thats probably why you are coming across as a non-believer

Happy Zombie Jesus Day!

ETA: and also chocolates and eggs and rabbits??

 

[butcher boy]

This thread reminds me of that guy on the sopranos who always asked tony if he'd heard the good news.

No, no, no.

Zombies* have no souls. Silly.

*Caveat: talking voodoo zombies here, not the viral kind. It has not been proven whether or not they have souls. But I would guess not.

[BustedKnuckles]

Im not a religious person but i see nothing wrong with being nice to fellow humans ,and if people who believe in a god of love want to be loving and nice to others that cant be a bad thing...right? Anyways ,happy easter

 

[CurlyNight]

I wish every person of any religion (or not) a peaceful life. It doesn't matter what religion folks follow or don't for that matter. The bottom line is we all search for peace and hope that there is something much better awaiting us in the after life for this life on earth is not easy.

Happy Easter!

 

[McGarnicle]

Happy birthday Jesus!

 

[Mohawk]

Happy Ishtar, the pagan holiday of fertility and sex (eggs and rabbits) which preceded Easter by centuries and around which early Christians wrapped their version of Spring rituals.

I tried that line once on a chick. Just got a blank stare while she walked back slowly.

You're forgiven. For your spelling.

For your intolerance, self-importance, and feigned superior intelligence, you can eat a bag of #####.

Have some candy.

Really don't see why an important holiday to many has to turn south from those who don't believe. Why open the thread and turn it into a pissing match?

atheists aren't happy

 

[The Goat]

They have a sad,lonely hole inside of them, and they seek to fill it with tears and sorrow they might be able to elicit from others.

If that doesn't work, they have to resort to jelly beans.

Mmmm...not so much.

I think internet atheists and agnostics are much worse than you'd meet in real life. Just an opinion. I think most of us are pretty cool with faith, or long for it, for the most part.

I also think a large part of it is the mobilization of religion into political PACs since the 70's and Atwater. But it's always weird to see people react so strongly and negatively to those who have faith.

It is weird, and I'm not a "turn the other cheek" sort. I make every effort to NOT impose my faith and beliefs on others. I genuinely believe that, in the end, everyone is accountable for their own decisions.

But if someone's going to just wander into a thread specifically earmarked for Christians and be a #### for no good reason, I'm going to be a #### back.

I'm fine when people defend themselves, even vociferously. I don't get it, either. It's like a weird atheist internet brigade that must let you know -- must, or the mission has not been accomplished -- that you know how stupid your faith is.

Also, I thought "candy" was your original comment. I've had a lot of Easter family fun tonight.
