All of Us Have Purpose & Worth.

Hello again, sir.

Hey, KBP, how's it going?

Oh, I forgot to tell you, she's offline for the month

Ah

Hey, how's it going?

Hey, KBP, you back?

Great to see you again; how have you been? :)

Hey, I've been doing alright. Pretty busy lately, but doing well. How are you doing?

Doing well, but also busy. On that, were you able to contact Borderline-Killer_Psychotic?

Haven't connected yet. She took a month off and work's picked up for me. Hopefully will connect soon!

Ah, no wonder... I've posted to her twice and wondered why she hasn't replied.

Thank you for letting me know. :)

Np

I think she's going to come back in about a week or so

Other than that, how are you guys?

Hi Grilled, thank you for letting me know. How are you, and you know NonDescript?

Oh Vic, you old man!

How have you been? I'm not really active here anymore so I want to know what's the buzz

I'm doing quite well ,but for the past two week found myself rather occupied. It's not quite over yet, but found some time to contact a few people here.

There has recently been an Imgflip election; many of us were involved, and I was one of the supporters of puppy_lover04. I think it went on for about two weeks, maybe more, and the winner was announced.

Puppy_lover04 along with her VP: Captain_Scar, won the election, almost a landslide victory. :) They went up against a very popular memer, Kate_The_Grate (Olympian_Product her VP), and to be honest, I didn't think we would win. It was kids vs adults, and the latter was considered by many to be the nurturing mother of Imgflip as she had done wonderful work in mentoring and helping young memers.

But to my great surprise, puppy and Scar won by 12 votes while the rest hovered by 1's and 2's. I'm very proud to have done my part in their victory as they proved upright in character. :)

Oh, that sounded fun!

I've been doing well! And yes, I do know her!

I'm glad to hear that; and that's great you know her :) But right now I wonder if I knew that already, but didn't remember.... Oh my poor memory!

Oops, Killer-Borderline_Psychotic

Ive been pretty good!

So, when did you come back to ImgFlip?

Not that long ago, but I am glad to be back.

While you were gone, there were I think, two more streams made: Online_Therapists and Suicide_Hotline.

There was also a recent development but I'll share that with you later on.

While you were gone, have you learned much?

Oh, Im actually a therapist on the OT stream!

Oh, really? Would you rather share it in a PM?

Not much...Ive read some of my bible, but not much...

And how is your time away from ImgFlip?

It was pretty good!

Excellet! If is good to take a break from it once in a while. :)

So you're the one who've made Online_Therapists?!

Oh, no, Im not. I think that was RoryPig. But, I was one of the first members who got it to the point where it was well known, I suppose.

God forgives if we ask Him for forgiveness

Oh i see. You did a great job. :)

On learning, its a good start. How much of the bible have you read so far?

Thank you!

Just a few pages...

No... It must've been all my fault....

Its not.

I'm glad you're recovering well. I also sorry you no longer wanted to read scripture; I've had a feeling that something happened which caused you to stop, I hope that it's not caused by those on my side.

To answer your question, He did not (I'll include bible verses if ever you want to read them).

In the Bible, He had made all things good from the creation of the universe to the forming of man.

Homosexuality and Atheism is the product of Adam's sin; as when he has sinned, sin affected all after him (Romans 5:12-16). We are affected in nature. God gave man,. moral conscience (Genesis 1:26 & Romans 2:14-16), but when sin came, we've become rebellious in nature.

We still have our conscience, but we're also ruled generally by our desires which includes pride, lust, wanting our own way. etc (Romans 1:20-26 & 1 John 2:16), .

The LGBTQ are desires that many of us aren't really born with. A lot has to do with our self identity, growing up. At ages 11-13, we're at a stage where we begin to wonder who we are. At that age also, we begin to wonder, and to question.

I've watched and read of a number of testimonies as to why one became gay, another became bi, or another, pansexual. The most compelling are ones who realized something about themselves.... that they're different from everyone else. When they begin to explore, they realized they're attracted to the same sex. However, that's not typical.

There are others who became who they are because

1. They did not have a father/molther-figure
2. They were violated when they were younger

As it stands, according to the Daily Beast, 1-10 Americans are LGBT but that is not proven as it is difficult to truly determine. It may be that number, or more, but when i look at how many Pronouns we must be aware of now... it can be proof that the LGBTQ is a lot larger, or,,... we're ,mstaking feelings as facts.

I still want to read the bible...I want to finish what I started, though now I am really unmotivated to do so...but, with enough determination, I'm sure I'll be able to finish it.

And, I see. But, since we're all fundamentally human, wouldn't God still love all of us?

It is to a much lesser extennt, Atheism. Atheism comes when we question things that doesn't make sense to us; or what we find disagreeable. We're not born as Atheists, but in our sinful nature we truly do not want God in all He is.

Our aversion to God is the reason why we can't see the eviddence of Him all around us. Cognitive Dissonance. We thus blind ourselves to God, or, make God according to our taste, and Atheism is a product, of.

I need to get going but I'll be back in a few hours. The thing I wanted to share with you is already in the open; I just don't know how many people do

Jeffrey seems to have returned. I've learned it just yesterday. Jeffrey, or what seemed to be him, followed my Evangelism stream, and when I've googled his profile, i've found the following meme:

imgflip.com/i/45fig6?nerp=1592522432#com4917453

Everyone is in a panic when it was told them, of. Jeffrey have Followed other streams as you can see in the comment section.

I'll talk to you soon.

Alright.

I see...thank you.

One more question, how come some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers?

I'm sorry... It's my fault, isn't it?

What's your fault? Me not reading the bible? Not at all, I just...lost interest in it. I need to force myself to pick it up again.

No... It must've been my fault...

Not everything is your fault, Cheez.

((Oh and to answer your question: God loves everyone, no matter what you've done. In His eyes, we're all His wonderful creation. I mean, Jesus literally forgave those who killed Him.))

((I see.))

Of course it is!

What makes you say that?

Thank you for your contribution, Grilled, :)

Yes, He loves us, despite ourselves.

I'll be honest with you. God hates sinners because of their continued committing of sins (Psalms 5:4-5), because God in His nature is good (Psalms 136:1). And so, anything that is not good, He therefore hates.

Due to that, any evil He must punish (Exodus 34:6-7)

At the same time, as a good God He also loves us and the evidence for that is what we call "Common Grace" as the bible says, the father has the sun to rise, and send rain on the evil and the good (Matthew 5:45).

And the ultimate proof of that is that sent His son down to live and die for anyone who would come to Him (John 3:16).

>>>

I'm sorry, I've confused your loss of motivation for a decsion to no longer wanting to read teh Bible.

But sins are so...vague. I mean, its so easy to sin, you can do it on accident. Does that mean God hates all sinners, even the ones who do it on accident?

So God hates sinners...but if we confess our sins he forgives them?

It's because God loved us greatly... We were His creations and yet we still sinned. But, even through all of that, He didn't give up on us, and instead gave us a way to redeem ourselves...

I... I must've said something... Like I always do...

You didnt, it was all me.

Hi Killer-Borderlin_Psychotic! I''ve gotten unexpectedly, how was your break?!

If you'd like those questions answered, you can asked those questions to me; even if they're not serious ones.

Hm...

I'm sorry that you're in such a state, and I'm glad you're recovering.

Yes you can, what is your question?.

Its alright, I think I'm doing a bit better. Thank you, though.

Well, god made everything, right? Does that mean he made things like gay people ad atheists?

I would start fron the Gospel of John, and continue read more from there. Once you've finished the book of Revelation, you can then start on Genesis.

Since you've begun reading the book of Genesis, do you have any questions?

No sir, no questions. Well, not any serious ones....

BTW, what scriptures have you read?

Im not sure....whats a scripture?

OK, I'm back.

Oh I'm sorry, what did you read in the Bible?

I um-
I read the pages in chronological order....Im not sure if thats what youre supposed to do...

Hi Killer-Brderline_Psychotic; how are you so far?

I'm not sure....emotionally I'm a wreck....physically I'm recovering from a cold....spiritually I kinda dont want to read the bible anymore....can I ask a question?

In general, why God doesn't answer prayers is because:

1. Doesn't accord with God's will
2. We're not ready for
3. Not good for us
4. Has something better for us
5. Or our chronic unrepented sin(s) caused God to close His ears (Habakkuk 1:13 & James 4:1-6)

The blessings of unanswered prayers is mainly to do with numbers 2-4.

I see....one more question?

One suffering from a mental issue is something that can't be helped. It is sin of course, if one personality offends or hurts anther, and one is never justified in committing it as to say "Well, I'm biologically predisposed to commit what I'm committing, therefore, I get to do it when ever I want", but at the same time, God knows it cant be helped.

Take a look at the following verse:

"14I will not punish your daughters when they play the w**re,
nor your brides when they commit adultery;
for the men themselves go aside with prostitutes
and sacrifice with cult prostitutes,
and a people without understanding shall come to ruin."
- Hosea 4:14

In Hosea's time, women do not have a lot of opportunities as women do today, but can still hold a job, but much closer to home (Proverbs 31:24); so when women loses their husbands in war, the only means they can survive is either to become servants, slaves, or become harlots.

In this case, women are denied love and affections. It's still a sin to commit adultery and harlotry, but the greater sin falls on the men who do them.

As for personalities, the sin is committed when one personality lashes out, but the greater sin commited is when one doesn't seek help for it.

But will they both be punished for the sin?

I see....

I think I have one more question.

Is it women's fault we live like this now? Like, not in the garden of Eden?

To be more accurate, one more considering women, Women are barring from any official authority over men. They're not allowed to be Presidents (Isaiah 3:12 ) and they cannot be Pastors.

One other commentary on the men of Hosea's day. they're supposed to lead by example. When they're not doing that... the greater sin is on them, and not the ones they're leading.

Hey, Killer-Borderline_Psychotic!

It's nice to meet you! I would love to talk with you if you want. I am going on vacation next week, however, but I will hopefully be available after that.

Looking forward to our conversations! :-)

-- NonDescript.

Hi NonDescript; how are you?

Yes, what is your question?

Well, you know how some people have split personalities? What if one personality sins and one is free of sin? Does that mean only one personality will be punished? Or will both of them be becuase they share one soul?

On punishment, it is not often penal as more often than not, God punishes by simply allowing consequence to happen (Romans 1:18-19, 24, 26-27).

So, with that in mind, the sufferer of a mental illness they're punishment would simply manifest itsselff through the reaction of their victims. That is in general. If however, the suffer doesnt't seek help despite constant pleas, then the punishment will likely be penal.

With regard to women, is it their fault we're suffering now, I'll say no. Not exclusively; both sexes committed sins that contributed to the "Hell on Earth" we live in today.

If you're talking about Eve, it is the same answer. She should be faulted for her part in the contining state of things because she listened to the Serpent. She was the one who sinned first which God therefore punished her by painful child-bearing and making her subservient to her husband (Genesis 3:1-6, 16). This extends to the church as she is not allowed to speak in miracouls tongues and lead a church (1 Corinthians 14:27-35 & 1 Timothy 2:12-14).

With that said, the greater sin falls to Adam because he was the one who persnally heard form Ood, and then Eve was made (Genesis 2). Thus, between the two, Adam shoud know better not to break God;s commandment but he did. He listened to Hs wife without question... then he ate the forbidden fruit.

Adam was thus punished by having him work much harder than before as God cursed the ground because of Him, and in the wider application with regard to his responsibilities (Genesis 3:17-19).

In a traditional family arraingement, the man's responsibility is outside while the woman's, inside. In view of that, you can say that our sufferings outside the home is because of him. But he is also shares responsibility at home as he is supposed to lead his family (Deuteronomy 6:6-9). So, you can say that he is also to blame inside the home. And when his children does wickedy but in ignorance... he is to blame.

I see....one more question?

Hi Killer-Borderline_Psychotic

I've found a female mentor that you can talk to about and help you on certain matters that I as a man. She had been on standby while you were gone. Now, she is ready.

Would you like to meet her?

And, would it be OK if she can see our dialogue here?

I would like too! And yes, you may show her. If she wants, we can talk on a private image.

Of course! I'll let her know. See you tomorrow!

Hi Killer-Borderline_Psychotic, doing well?

Hi Killer-Borderline_Psychotic!

The woman you're about to meet is "NonDescript". Unfortunately, she'll be away I'm not sure how many weeks.

With that said, she'd like to contact you when she gets the chance to do so. Do you mind her contacting you?

No, I do not mind! After this week, I will be away until August 3rd. Sorry about that!

Excellent :) While I set up our meeting, have you anymore questions for me?

Just to assure you, you can still ask me questions whenever you like.

Alright! Thank you! And, no, no further questions!

Ah, Victor, I think I have to go soon. Can you send my new mentor my apologize and send her my best? We can continue the meeting tomorrow, and I'll be sure to be here earlier.

In general, one of the most important ways to honor one's parent is to obey that parent, but in such a case as this being phyisically, psychologically, and emotionally abused, if the child is reaching out for help, s/he is not bound by that commandment.

S/he is free because a parent should not mistreat their children.

Yes, ask it.

So, I read a book about a boy being abused heavily by his parents, but he didnt tell anyone becuase the 10 commandments state that you need to respect your father and your mother, and he thought if he told someone about the abuse, it would count as disrespect.

So, would it be like how you said, there would be some leeway with forgiveness becuase he had to tell someone he was being abused? Or something else?

Hi Killer-Borderline_Psychotic, how are you?

Hi Killer-Borderline_Psychotic, how have you been? :)

Hi Killer-Borderline_Psychotic, how have you been?

Good evening!

I think I see what you mean, in a sense that it is too easy to sin. But, God knows us which is why He is gracious. The word grace in scripture means Undeserved Kindness.

As sinners we don't deserve to be heard, but is gracious to those who are humble and those who wants to draw near to Him (James 4:6 & 8).
