I have been told by these people NOT to read any post that would offend me, so for the most part I stay off of the threads, cause they are all about sex, full of obscene language and such! This one appealed to me and what is the very first response and who is it from! The person that tells me NOT to read the posts that offends me! Then if this one offends her, then she should have stayed off of it and let the people of DS enjoy one post without the obscenities! But NO,, she had to add her mouth into a Christian post with more obscene language and innuendos about sex! Then wants to know why I call her a bad apple!

This is public forum of "DAILY SRENGTH", not to talk down on any thoughts and opinons.
And no ones preaching here.
It's a beautiful Easter Day ,and Gjuz wrote a beautiful spiritual thread, that made him/her feel good.
This didn't have to be negative by you commenting "horsshit".

Have a choice to comment kindness or skip.

No one rains on your parade/thread...

That's because no one can. My ego's not all tied up in other people's opinions. I can let you be who you are.
Did it ever occur to you that being told that there's only one way to God MIGHT not seen as positive by someone here who is of a different faith? Do you think that might make them feel worse? Probably not because you assume everyone either does or should think like you. This kind of thing is NOT positive for ALL members of a diverse group.

Why is everything have to be difficult. Either you agree with the post that GZUS started or you don't. Leave all the "I think this and I think that" out of it.. Gosh almighty!

Then as you have said yourself,, leave it alone,, don't read it and don't keep going back to it!

Ma Shlom'ha? My name is Levi...I'm a Jew. Just an observation, the author of this thread did not create a Christian post, as you have obviously convoluted into your own peronal agenda. He was expressing own PERSONAL hope and trust which is fine. But, you have made it an inquisition because of your own inability to recognize the obvious. I for one am not offended by his enthusiasm, but rather by your intolerant and judgemental behavior in a public (non-christian) OPEN forum. If you had subscribed, to the one you call your savior, he admonishes you not to judge and your beloved Apostle Saul of Tarsus, very emphatically charges you to "Judge nothing before it's time." Your teacher Yeshua, would not have approved of you, but would have chastised you as he did the Rabbi's in that day. You wear a cloack, that says look at me, but you are full of dead men's bones, where you have devoured people to exalt your own personal righteousness. This is not the righteousness of God and is not godliness at all. Again Saul, taught about the mystery of godliness, which spoke of the humility of the God of Eternity humbling himself to walk in human flesh, but you exhalt yourself, which is not godliness at all. You spirit is not that of the teacher Yeshua. You are proud to be humble and love for people to see it.

That was beautiful Levi. However, the love and beauty of this day's celebration perhaps overwhelmed Gzus with Joy and he needed to share his overflowing spirit of hope as a gift to those who would like to receive it. My thoughts are that in an open public forum, we should not take offense easily. We are all in one sense or another, healing from a devastating blow to our dreams, visions and hopes. And while we are trying to move on with "a little help from our friends" in this support group, we need to realize that sometimes we just need to listen to be a friend and not judge. Maybe if we could accept this posting at face value, (a friend sharing the joy he has experienced with his friends), maybe we could just be a bit happier in our own day. Just a thought...

Levi, That was beautiful. As I have said many times I have many friends on DS. Some who do not always appreciate the differances in their views and beliefs. It does not seem to matter that they are all good and sincere people--granted some more out spoken than other--then others are more colorful with their language, but they are all good people. On this day lets honor the reason for Easter---FORGIVNESS.

Bless you all and keep you all from harm and unhappiness.

To my wonderful Christian friends. I am not offended by your faith. But consider your teachers and how they truly influenced people. It was their humility that was there power. Judgement was a topic of discourse, by the Rabbi Saul of Tarsus, who was a teacher of the Great Rabbi Gammeliel. He taught thet the Gentiles are a law unto themselves and again to judge nothing before its time. You are not perfected in anyway and subjegated to your own carnal natures. Consider those around you when you immediately thrust in the open, guns blazing, accept Christ or burn in hell. In as much as Rabbi Nicodemus, went to the great teacher in the night his words were not as brazen as your own. It is written in Leviticus 19, Love your neighbor as yourself; and in Deuteronomy 6 Love God. Everything in your teachings is hung upon these two basic concepts contained in the Torah. This ladies tongue is sharp to pass judgement and forgiveness is not found in her heart or it would flow from her mouth. Clean water does not flow from a cistern, and hers is broken and holds no water. You are quick to judge "sins", but you pray "forgive us our sins, AS WE FORGIVE those who sin against us." So then, if you have not learned forgiveness and judge, then you have not been forgiven. And, if you are not forgiven, then how do you claim to be a Chritian. Your logic does not stand to reason. And you should be quiet and go back to school and learn from your master, who has much to teach you.

Raine and Osa. Thank you. I am not offended Gzus post at all. He has a great zeal and I give him honor. Your season of Easter brings me many thoughts of Pesah, Passover, which is the season of my peoples deliverance, and I understand. 400 years my people were oppressed beginning with the taunting and cruelty of Ishmael against my father Isaac, through the 215 years that my people dwelled in the land of Goshen and were slaves in Aegypt. We were not free until we passed through the cloud and the sea with Moses. I greatly feel your joy in this season and wish you a Happy Easter as this is your season of deliverance to be remembered. Yes I am harsh to those who exalt themselves to position of teacher, when they have not learned to be a student yet. But, to the rest of you. God Bless. PS. Joanespring, is a personal friend of mine, she has stood by me in many of my own personal struggles I have been through. Some of you may gasp to know I am gay, though you know the words I have spoken to you are true. So to those of you who are true to your faith, I ask. Remember me.

Your Friend.

Levi

Thanks Levi. You are a good and honest man. It has been my pleasure to see the strength in which you have handled your pain and the integrity you bring to my table. Shalom.

HOPE YOU HAD A HAPPY EASTER.

IT'S AS EASY AS 1-2-3.

I see Christ as a man who tried teach us the value of ourselves, men and women alike. He preached patience and virtue and honesty and looking inward and to God the Father for salvation.

He did not it is okay for priests to squander money and sexually abuse young men...he did not say, do away with women in the church.

I am amazed how many of you so-called Christians so readily criticize and judge others because they do not believe in the institutionalized christian-lite-store-bought spitituality.

Let he ror she who is without sin cast the first stone.

What WOULD Jesus really say about some of the nasty people on here?

I am not a christian, jew or a member of any religion. My relationship with my God is a private and personal affair. Even though I percieve most religious organisations to be hiding places where bigotry and hatred can fester I allow each and every person their right to worship whichever god or spirit they choose. Happy Easter everyone and I hope everyone had a nice holiday.

Wow talk about intolerance and judgment! That is NOT what Jesus stood for but is typical of what I referred to earlier. Organized, dogmatic Religion!!! Skewed!!!
A lot of hate and anger around here.

Levi You are Amazing!
