And I have to say Amen, John...we're either taking one step toward or one step away.<br />John 15:18-19<br />If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.<br />You belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.ezrabluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938990830254680085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-70258918175536068572013-01-11T12:39:46.334-06:002013-01-11T12:39:46.334-06:00It will always be this way...

Then again, I guess Jesus was one of the more original "Off-Grid" folks. He probably would have a few interesting comments about The Field Lab project. Ya all seem like a friendly and diverse group ... I guess with the normal amount of misunderstandings as we all plod through life. I'll keep check'n in to see how you're doing.

I suspect if internet trolls ...Love Thine Enemies.<br /><br />I suspect if internet trolls existed in Jesus' day, he would have loved them as well.<br /><br />Jesus had many hecklers that spoke up during many of his sermons and encounters. Such stories are abundant in the bible. Most prominent were the Pharisees. They may be the closest comparison to today's internet troll.<br /><br />If one believes that Jesus' life was an example that we should do our best to emulate, it seems reasonable to treat internet trolls the same way Jesus treated his hecklers. If ever there was a master at silencing a heckler, it was Jesus. Sometimes Jesus opened their eyes and converted them to a new righteous path. Other times, he artfully utilized their heckling to make a point and shed light on his teachings for everyone else that wanted to learn.<br /><br /><br />I won't attempt to quote every encounter Jesus had with a Pharisee, or all hecklers. There are far too many to list here. I will simply quote one of my personal favorites. Feel free to search the bible to find more examples yourself.<br /><br /><br /><br /><i><br />Matthew Chapter 9<br />9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.<br /><br />10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”<br /><br />12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’[a] For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”</i><br /><br /><br />If Jesus could sit down with sinners and minister to them, why shouldn't we attempt to do the same on the internet?<br /><br /><br />Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05265115976155488097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-89112575198387344792013-01-07T22:16:29.057-06:002013-01-07T22:16:29.057-06:00noble...you are anything but.

There...Well, I believe that objective truth exists. There either is or isn't a god. The Bible either is or isn't a good guide to living one's life.<br /><br />I certainly respect John's right to say anything he wants on his blog. My disagreeing with him is in no way infringing on that right. Again, he is free to delete the comments or ask me to stop commenting, or set a blanket policy against comments that disagree with him and I will respect that. As far as I can tell the only ones upset with my comments here are John's fans.<br /><br />I am reminded of the story of the boy who didn't speak until the age of ten. His parents couldn't figure it out and the doctor said nothing was physically wrong with him. One night, when dinner was served, he took a spoonful of soup and said, "The soup's cold". His parents were amazed and asked him why he'd never spoken before. "Everything was fine up to now", he said. That kid is me. Everything on this blog was fine up to the point the religious stuff started appearing.Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07228622941051638379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-13827755863789019872013-01-07T20:27:15.550-06:002013-01-07T20:27:15.550-06:00there is always a right and a wrong....choose care...there is always a right and a wrong....choose carefully.John Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12783305402239706779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-73395478911426882692013-01-07T18:16:32.805-06:002013-01-07T18:16:32.805-06:00OK, Noble. Keyword: "wrong". There is no...OK, Noble. Keyword: "wrong". There is no right and no wrong on this subject. John Wells is not right and not wrong. YOU are not right and not wrong. I am not right or not wrong. Nobody knows. All I am saying is please respect John's right ON HIS BLOG to say what he believes in his path. You can believe or not believe whatever you want - its YOUR path. Believe me when I tell you I am NOT an atheist who believes Jesus' teachings. That guess would be WRONG. BUT, I respect YOUR right to think that. It just seems to me you wait all week for John's Sunday blog to counter-argue his beliefs. (It is the only time you comment here.) I don't understand why it offends you. If I found it offensive I wouldn't come back. Simple solution. <br /><br />Respect, tolerance and consideration - 3 things we are losing in today's society. Very sad. Hey, that's my opinion....not right and not wrong.

I've b...I don't know what to tell you Andy. I've been following this blog for years and when John started posting these biblical passages I found them a bit offensive and wanted to offer a counter-argument. It's a public blog that allows comments so I'm commenting. He's free to answer me, delete my comments, or whatever. If he wants to simply ask me to refrain from commenting I'll even do that.<br /><br />I honestly have no ill-will toward John. I am simply pointing out what I see as wrong information. If he were suggesting that everyone should drink a cup of bleach daily for their health I would point that out as wrong also. I am often accused of being arrogant and bullying online so I guess that's how I'm perceived, but it is not my intention. I'm trying to work on that, but it's not easy for me to see it as I'm doing it.<br /><br />Most Christians do believe in hell, otherwise what was the point of Jesus' "sacrifice"? You are certainly not representative of any mainstream Christian sect. I guess you are an atheist who follows the teachings of Jesus? Or are you just nit-picking my description of god as an invisible man in the sky?<br /><br />It probably is a waste of energy. I don't know. I have had one person contact me privately and tell me he appreciates my comments.Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07228622941051638379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-8073211702764688582013-01-07T15:14:04.558-06:002013-01-07T15:14:04.558-06:00OCAD -

They both point out problems and claim to have all the answers to the needs they have created in our minds."<br /><br />This this exactly what Christianity looks like to me. Fear of eternal torture after death put in your mind by an ancient book which also offers the solution to that made up problem - giving up your life to an invisible man in the sky. It is just stunning to me that you cannot see it.
