Again, when a gentle spirit comes here to talk about things of God, I'm sure the Holy Spirit lays that person upon your heart. I know this has happened with us all. But more and more I get a strong urging to retreat from a demon playpen and let them play with each other while I go spend time with my Lord. Any scriptures to counteract that I would be most happy to discuss, as all scriptures thrown at Christians here by the pagans about their total obligation to put up with it has been scripture pertinent only to Christian behavior required when dealing WITH OTHER CHRISTIANS. So, I am a little confused watching it sometimes, and since I spend time in SI as we all do, sometimes it's hard to tell who is in control. Usually I see the prince of darkness calling the shots, and the tail wagging the dog. I'm just open to discussion, but it will not change the way I feel. Have never enjoyed pagans anywhere, including rich ones, poor ones or biker pagan. A sinner is not a pagan. A sinner is someone doing things which tend to separate him/her from God. That often is not anywhere near pagan, and the person is very remorseful. I met what seemed like 100 of them in Arizona, and once they found out I was a Christian, they wanted to spend hours talking about how far they were from God, when I was just a backslidden Christian having fun playing pool with them. So that was pretty funny, looking back on it. They were standing their pleading with me about their wretched souls and I'm going, make your shot here, hey we're in the middle of a game here, and that was pretty strange. For those people, there was always time, and I know I was responsible for two of them for sure getting out of their hell and disappearing back into real life where they had people who loved them. But here? What is really happening except the God threads being taken over by those who don't like it, period? Just an intellectual question being posed for you to think about. You seem very intelligent and very compassionate also.
