The "Your One Advice To Hisashi" Thread

Yeah! Your mind playing games with you.

So the bugs crawling under my skin aren't real as well?~

 

[MaestroZidane]

well I would have that checked out, those may be real...

So the bugs crawling under my skin aren't real as well?~

Who you gonna call, ghost busters!

Yeah you get used to the fact that you have no facial hair and it's more fresh, but when it grows back suddenly, the contrast makes you feel that you have more actually, but by time if you let it grow, your will get comfortable with it and everything's the same suddenly.

Well i'm 17, i've been shaving for about 3 years now, so it makes sense...

Sun dyes the ends and they thin out, when you cut it the end is blunt not pointed and still darker from no sunlight

Hisashi - I haven't read all of this thread, but my advice is this:

Don't be afraid to follow your heart. Try new things - You like basketball and football? Try out for your school teams. You like to sing? Try out for the choir. You suck at singing? Try out anyway - you might make a friend that you wouldn't have otherwise. Don't buy on impulse - put the money somewhere safe and think about what you would have spent the money on. More often than not, you didn't need what you thought you did and that money will come in useful one day. Don't worry so much and use sunscreen if you are outdoors a lot. Be happy.

 

[Back Door Skip]

You should expect a hostile response from Hisashi for not mentioning religion in the coming minutes.

 

[MaestroZidane]

Keegan, such a positive message from a guy that's from Jamaica. I'm not surprised.


Wish I was in Jamaica ��

I m not making my own religion ok. You see I m a christian(roman catholic) I believe most of the things my religion says cause I know it is true and it is right . I believe that GOD is real his the creator of heaven and earth the most powerful being in the universe .I believe in Jesus son of GOD our saviour I believe that commiting sins is a bad thing do, and should be avoided as much as possible. I believe in everything else but what I dont believe is that praising idols or praying infront of them cause its againts the ten commandments

Are sins bad things to do because God says they are, or are they bad because they are morally wrong? If killing someone wasn't a sin, would you do it? But aren't there many instances in the Bible where killing someone isn't wrong? I'm pretty sure there are rules about when it's ok to kill someone, right?

And what about premarital sex? Is that a sin? If two people love each other and live together and have children, raise them in a loving household and turn out well-rounded citizens of the world, are they sinners? I was never married in a church, but I have lived with my wife for more than 12 years. We have two children and both of them are much loved and well treated. Am I a sinner? Am I going to your imaginary hell?

What if it's two men, or two women, who love each other very much and give all their love to their children as well? Raise them in a stable household with all the benefits of two incomes for a good life. Is that a sin? More of a sin than an abusive father who beats his children, insults them and beats his wife? Keeps his family living in fear, but he goes to church every Sunday to pray to God? Which is the sinner?

God recognizes only two classifications of killing: accidental and intentional. "Self-defense" is not even listed. God illustrates "accidental death" as occurring when there is no intent to kill or to harm. But when there is intent to kill , God's law defines it as murder regardless of what the other person was threatening to do, about to do, or is doing. If a man fires a gun with the knowledge that it has the potential to kill another man, it is murder and is a sin.

Sex before marriage, pre-marital experience ,the word of God implies it all by calling it fornication. It knows no exception. It allows none. Renaming fornication does not change the act or remove the consequence. Those who commit fornication, sin.

According to the Bible, marriage is ordained by God to be between a man and a woman. Same-sex marriage is a perversion of the institution of marriage and an offense to God who created marriage. As Christians, we are not to condone or ignore sin. Rather, we are to share the love of God and the forgiveness of sins that is available to all, including homosexuals, through Jesus Christ. We are to speak the truth in love and contend for truth with “gentleness and respect” . As Christians, when we make a stand for truth and the result is personal attacks, insults, and persecution, we should remember the words of Jesus: “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If 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”

Children have a special place in God’s heart and anyone who harms a child is inviting God’s wrath upon Him.

Children also have a special place in the hearts of God's employees.

That's all fine and dandy except you're following writings of something that is thousands of years old, which by today's standards is no longer applicable in many ways. I feel sorry for the people that get brainwashed by trying to follow the bible to the letter because it goes against what human instinct in many ways.

I know this because I was one of those sheltered kids that thought sex before marriage was wrong and that it was a mortal sin. I thought it was wrong of me to have these desires and feelings as a young teen, and I basically lived in shame until I realized it was all a crock of shit. I don't have to listen to some old, outdated writings that are possibly completely taken out of context because I was brought up to that. Thankfully I live in a place where there's freedom of religion or freedom to not worship anything if I so choose to. Otherwise I'd be pretty fucked.

If a man fires a gun with the knowledge that it has the potential to kill another man, it is murder and is a sin.

But God says it's ok to kill intentionally. In fact, if you don't do it, wouldn't you be disobeying God?

Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NA

If one curses his father or mother, his lamp will go out at the coming of darkness. (Proverbs 20:20 NA

All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)

If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)

Sex before marriage, pre-marital experience ,the word of God implies it all by calling it fornication. It knows no exception. It allows none. Renaming fornication does not change the act or remove the consequence. Those who commit fornication, sin.

So basically, according to God, you have to kill me.

A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death. (Leviticus 21:9 NA

Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)

Cursed be he who does the Lords work remissly, cursed he who holds back his sword from blood. (Jeremiah 48:10 NA

According to the Bible, marriage is ordained by God to be between a man and a woman. Same-sex marriage is a perversion of the institution of marriage and an offense to God who created marriage. As Christians, we are not to condone or ignore sin. Rather, we are to share the love of God and the forgiveness of sins that is available to all, including homosexuals, through Jesus Christ.

If 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”

Again, I guess you'd better get out your sword and start killing homos.

"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NA

Children have a special place in God’s heart and anyone who harms a child is inviting God’s wrath upon Him.

But you're supposed to beat them, right?
Proverbs 22:15 - Foolishness [is] bound in the heart of a child; [but] the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

And it's ok to sell your daughter as a slave?
When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)

And I guess only some children get to be in God's "special place".

Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children. (Isaiah 13:15-18 NLT)

--------------------------

So, which is it, Hisashi? Do we follow the Bible, or only those parts of the Bible that we choose? But isn't the whole Bible the unadulterated word of God? I mean, I'd think that, much like fornication, you either follow the word of God, as written down in that book, or you don't. But if you pick and choose, how can you truly know you are doing what God wants you to do, rather than what you want to do yourself?

The fool has said in his heart, There is no God

 

[CarlosDanger]

The fool has said in his heart, There is no God

I guess you'd better kill me, then, if you are to truly obey the word of your Lord. And Skip, too.

They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB )

 

[CarlosDanger]

Oh...here's a good one. If your kids don't listen to you, then you get your city council to gather all the men in the city to kill them with rocks.

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 “If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.”

 

[CarlosDanger]

And again, God commands you to beat your kids in order to discipline them. Also, unless you beat your kids, they're going to hell.

Proverbs
23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

23:14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

See, this is turning into a good advice thread, after all. So remember, Hisashi, unless you want your children to go to hell, beat them with a stick.

 

[MaSsiVe]

I thought George Carlin had settled this?

 

[chygry]

I should make a note of this, not getting into a discussion about religion/god with Hisashi.
