    Don't forget guys, you need to rockup at Church every Sunday, polish your boots, put on your best clothes.
    Bring along the bible your church approves.
    Don't forget t' bring yur 10% tithe (no blessing from God if you overlook this).
    Sing along to the hymns yuv sung a thousand times.
    And when the preacher is preaching, sftu, no questions allowed.
    If you don't close your eyes and bow yur head when praying, ah ah ah, yur not praying!
    Not baptised, then prolly off to hell.
    If you skip church expect a call from the boss elders.

    NO

    NO

    NO (personal choice on translations)

    Don't forget t' bring yur 10% tithe

    Definitely NO
    (no blessing from God if you overlook this).

    NO (I'm blessed in Christ, not because of my tithe or lack of tithe).

    Sing along to the hymns yuv sung a thousand times.

    YES!!! I LOVE SINGING SONGS THOUSANDS OF TIMES

    And when the preacher is preaching, sftu, no questions allowed.

    NO - Well, we don't question during the meeting, but certainly afterwards it's encouraged to ask or challenge anything he says.

    If you don't close your eyes and bow yur head when praying, ah ah ah, yur not praying!

    NO, we Christians pray all the time.

    Not baptised, then prolly off to hell.

    NO- by faith you are saved, through grace

    If you skip church expect a call from the boss elders.

    NO - let's see I skipped church today (quarantining because of covid exposure). Hey, no elders called me.

    Skip church. Feel guilty!
    Go into pub. Feel guilty!
    Eye up a pretty chicks legs and think she's tasty. Feel guilty!
    Prefer to hang out with 'sinners'. Feel guilty!
    Marry outside the church. Feel guilty!
    Want to bonk someone when unwed. Feel guilty!
    You're Gay. Off to hell guaranteed! Forget the guilt 'cause yur fucked!
    I could go on and on.

  6. And here we have found the problem, I believe.

    Is there a right and wrong?

    Is there an absolute moral standard?

    For those who do not want there to be, it is easy to dismiss what God has revealed about Himself.

    For those who are willing to do God's will, there is a wonderful promise made by Jesus:

    If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether My teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own.
    John 7:17

    That is not preaching, that is proselytizing.

    You are getting clubbed to death by themickey. Stop while you are ahead in your own mind.

    Desire comes not from Christ, but from the ego which is not God, but self. This is a sin.

  9. No, no, no. Some desires are good, some are bad. Sinful desires are wrong. Godly desires are good.

    God has desires.:)

    Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
    John 17:24​

    God has revealed sweet fanny nothing!
    It's all in your dreams. You're told this christian story countless times until its seared via brainwashing in your head. You know nothing else, just the same bs the church has been preaching countless years.
