I'm sure most of you remember me talking about a man named Roger, who tends to be very abusive at times. Well, he's at it again.
I created a mailing list just for Christians, where we can lean on each other and share fellowship. Well, I thought that I'd invite Roger. I guess it was a big mistake, because his most recent message was very harsh and rude. I deleted it and I politely asked him to word things differently in the future.
Here's what I got in response.
Lin,
Perhaps you are so "Blind or Immature" that you do not know what is really going on? IF you delete my message, you may COMPLETELY REMOVE ME FROM ALL MAILINGS AND 'DO NOT WRITE ME AGAIN!"
Who the "HE--" [heck or hell, YOU CHOOSE!] do you think that you are, "To Limit My Free Speech - IN THE DEFENSE OF THE GOSPEL!"
You are so " POLITICALLY INUNDATED THAT YOU CANNOT EVEN THINK STRAIGHT!" You are Afraid of the TRUTH, and cannot even "See the Forest for the Trees!"
You are afraid of those that, "ARE ALREADY CLOSED TO THE GOSPEL!" They in most cases are Mockers and Blind Followers of the Blind Leaders, as addressed in the Word of God, "in the posting that I posted!" 2Timothy 4:2-3-4! HEAR WHAT JESUS SAID!
(Matthew 10:34-37) Think not that I [Jesus] am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. (Matt 10:35) For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. (Matt 10:36) And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. (Matt 10:37) He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me [Jesus].
------------NOW - PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THIS VERSE MEANS?--------------
(Luke 22:36) Then said He [Jesus] unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
The True Gospel, was sent for Salvation and to Divide those with Truth from those that 'hate the Truth!' WHY ARE YOU AFRAID OF OFFEDING MOCKERS? Perhaps you have never seen this verse? How does a person come to Christ? Please see this VERSE?
(John 6:44) No man can come to Me [Jesus], except the Father which hath sent Me [Jesus] draw him: and I [Jesus] will raise him up at the last day.
EXCEPT WHAT? WHAT DOES THE VERSE SAY? PLEASE TELL ME? HOW DOES ONE COME TO CHRST? "THE FATHER DRAWS HIM!"
I will close now and await your answer!
In Christ
Roger
Either he failed to read the list rules, which state that trollish posts are not allowed and that the rude person will be kicked out, or he just doesn't care. And I hate to say this, but I'm beginning to doubt if he's even a Christian. There is a big difference between claiming to be a Christian and being one. In some of the emails I've received, he does not display the attitude a Christian is supposed to have. I've been patient with him in the past, and now, my patience is running out. The sad thing is, the accusations he's made are completely false. I'm not afraid of the truth or of those who hate the gospel. In fact, I've put up with mean-spirited and slanderous words from non-Christians, and I've continued to share the gospel with them.
The sad thing is, he's failed to realize that Satan is dividing us (That is, if he's really my BiC), despite the fact that he's listened quite frequently to a Scripturally sound CD that says that Satan's greatest weapon is his ability to divide and conquer. Roger is reminding me of how I used to be before I became a true Christian. Remember how I was? How much attitude I had? If that's how I was without Christ...is this why he's like this?
Not only is Roger upsetting me (I'm near tears right now), but he's scaring me. I'm actually worried that he's unbalanced and that he's going to do something crazy. Why am I worried?
He knows where I live!!
Please pray for both of us.
