Are Those Who Hide...Liers?
Posted : 9 Sep, 2011 07:07 PM

Are those who hide themselves and sneak around to veiw your profile liers? This subjest has bothered me on these sites for a long time. To me it makes me feel like they have something to hide. Like the truth they may be interested, but how dare they tip their hand they may be! To me we are called to be of faith. Faith in being real and of him. Meaning not one who hides, or can't show they may have interest in someone. To me to read someones profile and look at it means nothing more then that. If the Lord wills two people together, he will in faith surly work his will...this I have faith. Then if it is not meant to be which most of the times we view one anothers profiles. There will only be one who is meant and of his will if it is. So why hide and sneak and not be open. To me someone who views my profile and hides the truth they viewed me, is someone I truly feel is not trustworthy. I truly feel lead it creates a doubt in peoples minds. Is that the goal as in desiring a marriage in and of Christ? I say no! The goal is to be open one with another in faith and when he guides us to one another, there is trust. I know many may disagree and this may even strike a bad cord with many, but I know and feel lead that it is truth of and from him.



Gods Continued Blessings And Love,

David

Who do you live for? Christ or self? I know many are scared and afraid, especially you ladies. I understand that, but what can anyone do to you over the Internet? Nothing but words? let the Spirit guide you in truth and being real and open. Let the boldness of Christ shine through you for the world to see. Dont allow yourselves to be controlled by the world and those here are evil. The Holy Spirit yearns to live through us all in boldness allowing Christ's love to shine dispite what the world or others try to do or say. We are Above that through him! I just wish you all could Beleive what you have, and stop being controlled by the world! It just breaks my heart to see Christ but aside for something as trivial as this, when you who call yourselves Christians as I do, could stand strong for him!

Um, let's see...there's cyber stalking, and identity theft, and with just a little harmless info (such as name and phone number) a guy could find me to do some actual stalking or physical harm. I'm not living in fear. I'm living in the real world and taking real steps to protect myself.

You Quate was I beleive HUM...I beleive Christ's own words were and I quote him not me, " those who hold onto their lives will surly loose their lives. Those who give up their life for Me will gain life eternally" It is right back to a choice and yes the Lord has given us all free choice. The choice to die to self and live for him, or live foe self.



Also, the Holy Spirit does give us discernment and guides us if we allow him too. If you are allow him to guide you, you will wait and allow him and time to prove all things before giving out your full name, or phone number, or things like that. Paul tells to allow the Lord and time to prove all things. Is just no faith anymore in the Lord to protect or guide us? It just breaks my heart so much to see how justified and scared everyone has become and how there is little or no faith in him.

Phil 1:21 For me to live is Christ, to die is gain

David..I laughed when I looked again at this forum thread post and saw you are no longer HIDING your image by displaying a false one. Good for you...you took my words to heart, lol. I had to chuckle too over your subsequent posts to folks that responded to you on this topic.

After your original post you add the disclaimer, "My fellow followers of Christ. I did not write this to condemn, but felt lead to because he desires us to live by faith and be open." (by the way it's LED not LEAD)...So you don't wish to condemn anyone huh? Well David, that is exactly what you do to Godsgirl23 after she tells you, "STOP putting false guilt on people." You respond to her by saying, "Im so tired of people like yourself who dont know how to be real and go around JUSTIFYING wrongs to fit your desires." Those words are condemnation and judgment! Who are you to condemn her for having a differing opinion? Are you God? Even though you state in your profile "I have old fashion values, but also I CAN BE ALL THINGS TO ALL PEOPLE." I would argue David, the only one that can BE ALL-- TO ALL is GOD himself, YOU CANNOT be all things to all people...nor should you use this forum to do so!

You may believe you where given some ordained right by God in which you can dictate TRUTH to everyone else and condemn those that disagree with your ideology...I certainly don't believe that God appointed you to police everyone else's actions here. If he had, I am certain he would have given you a dictionary and his latest copy of COMMON SENSE in which to do so, lol.

Your whole argument here is basically that anyone using the HIDE feature to view your profile is not trustworthy and is a liar. I pointed out to you in my prior post and I believe it bears mentioning again would be this bit of logic...."if someone has viewed your profile using the HIDE feature, you would NOT even know they have done so." Just as you believe there are people hiding the action of viewing your profile, the fact of the matter remains if you can only see who has viewed your profile the possibility exists that those are in fact the only people that actually HAVE viewed you...and to that end you are condemning no one for nothing more than your supposition that others have done so. This my christian friend...is what is known as blowing smoke up the WAZOO!

Another flaw in your self-righteous argument would be this...You tell JourneyCC, "...its not about Values! Its about TRUTH!!!" I would argue David, it's about BOTH. Christian values as we universally know them to be...would have to include TRUTH....so, unless you've registered on this site using your TRUTHFUL legal name; (that which you are known by) first, middle and last...using the moniker EQUALLYYOKEDONLY would also have to be viewed as HIDING YOUR TRUE IDENTITY and make you David, THAT which you abhor......a LIAR. :nahnah:

Well now, that's curious isn't it....lol. Are we then to infer based upon your own argument that because you had originally posted a false image and are using a false name to identify yourself by that YOU are not real, not open? ....that you are not a "Child of God through Christ"? Me thinks you speaketh with a forked tongue....:devil:

David...David...David....if you can apply your brand of TRUTH to the actions of others..when you're scrutinized by that same TRUTH shouldn't your actions be above reproach? TRUTH David, in the context to which you referenced it here would apply to ALL similarly situated individuals without creating a contradiction. YOU my christian brother are THAT CONTRADICTION.

Your inaccurate analogy would suggest that people that use the HIDE feature when perusing profiles are liars, some how less christian...less faithful...less truthful about being real and open, not true followers of Christ and his word when you, yourself, use subterfuge on this very website. To the degree to which YOU believe a thing to be true...it id quite simply TRUE for you.

How benevolent of you to pray for others in examining their hearts and seeking God's guidance. If you truly do follow "The Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ" David, I would suggest you reexamine your own heart instead of condemning others for the very thing YOU are guilty of yourself.

Blessings to you,

O'Shea

Face it dude O'Shea surgically snipped and rightly so. She used your own scapel to do it--LOL!



O'Shea--I wouldn't want to be a convicted and condemned man waiting for my sentencing with you as the prosecutor. I have a feeling I would't be meeting my maker anytime soon and I would be packing for a far warmer climate. :ROFL:

Excuse me? I'm not justifying any of my actions, I'm calling you out on your ridiculous moralizing of a neutral topic. Shame on you, to try and twist Scripture to make yourself look like some holy person who has special wisdom from God on this matter. No one, least of all God, cares about the privacy settings on anyone's account, and other people's choices regarding how they manage their online interactions are none of your business. Speaking AT me and throwing around your nonsensical religious language doesn't prove your case. You're peeved because some girls choose not to show you they've viewed your profile and chose to make a spiritual issue out of it, which it isn't.

And while we're doing the "reply to yourself" thing (which is unbelievably annoying, by the way, STOP SAYING SO MANY WORDS), the word is liars. With an a.
