How To Get To Heaven When You Die

[SusanHaack]

When I first came on lit I had a good friend. We talked about anything and everything. That went on for awhile and then he told me he was very sick and was going to be hospitalized. For the next 2 months I sent him encouraging e-cards, pictures, memes and jokes. We talked a couple of times a day and he would tell me about his treatments and we would talk about how he was doing. I didn't hear from him for 4 days. Then I got an e-mail from his brother. He said he was just contacting people on his brother's e-mail list to let them know that he had died. I was crushed. Cried for my friend. Then I was on the boards and someone else mentioned his screen name. He was doing similar things to a lot of people. He is still on the board using a different name but that name I do not know.

I am very good at seeing the truth about people in person but on here not so much. This is a writing website. Am I being punked again?

If you are, the only one looking foolish is xxxfrodo. You truly are one of the most beautiful people i have had the fortune to stumble across. Any one who takes advantage of you is a serious pos.

Truth, and online boards, I don't think there is whole lot there...

Oh thank you! I have to admit I have been tempted to dial that number to see what it is.

I can also say that a true Christian believes the Gospel and places their faith in Christ and his sacrifice. However, I am not perfect. Have you not made any mistakes?

I did not meet with anyone from on here but I talked to them online and by e-mails, phone. Same difference. It wasn't the best days of our marriage but my husband forgave me. My husband has a temper. If he doesn't get his way he literally throws a temper tantrum and makes life miserable. It's the most traumatic thing to even hint at for this wife. He does not get along with one of our sons. We separated for a couple weeks until we could get counseling. We work on it. Our intimacy is better than before all this. It's the baggage I was talking about. Don't you think I have thought about all this?

My brother did not remember it. Luckily he was in the navy and then he never lived near our area again. When my father passed and my brother came home, I allowed him to stay at my parents house before we all had an opportunity to go through it. I pretty much did everything for my folks so it was my decision. He stole from the house. I called him and told him if he didn't bring the stuff back I was going to call the police. Long story short he is not talking to me because I made that threat. How crazy is that. Sounds good to me.

Yes I know that adultery, lust and porn are a sin. That is why I don't discuss it in private. If someone wants to bring it up in the thread that is up to them. I am still here, but for a different reason then you. I really like the people here. I tried to go and discuss this topic on other sites and it doesn't even come close. In the first 5000 posts of this conversation I even talked to someone in the thread about leaving because of a really offensive thread that was made about Jesus. I decided to stay, but that is why I have Goodbye Girl above my bull dog beauty. lol I tell you the people on here are smart. I really enjoy the conversation. This place used to be a lot different than it is now. When I first came there were 1 or 2 posts on politics and 1 or 2 picture threads. Otherwise there were some really funny posts. I remember laughing until my side hurts. Quick snarky comebacks.

I am not putting you down for always having been a Christian. My boys were both young when they asked Jesus into their heart. They, like you, reaffirmed it when they got older. I do have to say that maybe people like me appreciate it a little bit different since we remember what it was like without it. Very thankful to God for healing the broken-hearted and bandaging our wounds. (Psalm 147:3)

I am not judging you. I am trying to council you if you will permit me. I am far from perfect. I just want you to know how devastating that is, that's all because I believe that men have an even harder time with it than women do.

You say it is the same difference, but it's not. Had you actually had physical relations, it would have been devastating to your relationship. Again, I am not judging you. I have been in a relationship before where I was cheated on and I know that it can never be the same again if that happens. The fact that you didn't do anything physical, I do believe that you can still have that level of intimacy after you work it out. That's my opinion. I am very glad that you worked it out and that things are better.

Do you think you will ever tell your brother the horrible thing he did? I am very sorry you went through that, especially with your own brother. Sounds like he has lots of issues as well and that you are better off away from him.

Oh, I have been given the opportunity to know what it is like to be without God in my life. Not completely because He never left me, but I went through some miserable years in the bar and had lots of issues. I am very thankful for Him and then for Him to reveal Himself to me the way He has, speaking to me and such, I want to give my life to Him completely, but I am far from perfect. I have many things I am working on. He points them out to me and I work on them until the next thing He points out to me. That's the way He deals with me.

Funny story. My state just legalized marijuana. My son goes to a state university. Next fall they will be offering a new minor through the agriculture department. A minor called cultivating marijuana. (personally I think I might know a couple of people who majored in it. Lol) I just can't imagine going on a job interview for nursing and saying I minored in cultivating marijuana.

Well the CBD part of marijuana has a wide range of possible use's as a pain reliever, it actually might come in handy. I majored in it, btw, and now that it legal here in Canada no need to worry anymore.

So, someone befriended you on here and then LIED about dying? That's messed up. Well, I ask you, Do you think that I would be this dedicated to spreading the Gospel if I was trying to punk you? Personally, I am not trusting enough to develop deep relationships online because you really don't know what people online are really like. I remember in college before I met my wife, I was on IRC when the internet was in it's infancy and was stung pretty hard that way. Anyway, the internet is a place where you see people for who they really are, the person that they hide in the real world I believe, unless they are trying to get something from you. Then they can hide anything they want from you and you will never know that they are lying. There are some weird creeps on the internet. I am telling you about my self because I am not merely telling you alone, I am telling all of those who read this thread in the hopes of reaching some people for Christ. Personally, I probably wouldn't even be on the forums that I visit if it weren't for spreading the Gospel because I don't see much value in it. If I wanted friends, I would probably find them on the outside of the internet and hang out with them in person. But since I am here, it's ok to have some people that I talk to as well I guess. You seem like a nice person. I also have had a difficult life and what I have learned from all of my experiences that God has shown me is how much I need the Lord in my life. He is your best friend. I talk to Him all day long and study the Bible and Apologetics at work.

Listen, in the last little while I noticed that this thread is dying. It is where I usually hang unless I am making a nonsense thread about Ice Cream dilemmas. I thought it might be nice to talk to another Christian for a while. Share things about our faith. I don't need your council. I am really lucky to have a great support at my church and at home.

I am sorry to hear you got cheated on. I do think it is the same difference because it is not upholding your marriage vows. It is saying to your partner that they are not enough. It hurts. I deeply regret hurting him.

Did you say you were Baptist?

Why don't you ever talk about things like your difficult life and what you have learned from your real life experiences. I was always told the best thing to do is tell people your experience, strength and hope. The bars he got you out of..your family. I tell you I am really concerned about your family. Are they good Christians too? Do they have demon issues? What you write here as your testimony is terrifying. I can't imagine reaching anyone with it. Do all the people in your church have testimonies like this?

I'm still a little awkward. I do have real friends though.

To be honest, yes, I can see a person doing what you are doing to scare people away from Christianity. I have to be honest.

You crack me up. I have seen some cases where marijuana has really helped the tremors associated with Parkinson's. I think there is a place for it with pain relief. It's just amazing to me how much things have changed in my 53 years. Do you have Girl Scouts up there? The news story in the state is that the Girl Scouts -that are known for selling cookies here-are situating themselves outside the new dispensaries and it has increased sales. Marijuana and cookie munchies!

Yes we have them here, I usually end up getting a few boxes of cookies every drive.

But not for the above mentioned reasons....

OK, now I need to know the reason. lol (The cookies aren't infused they just set up tables outside so when people walk by they can buy some)

You need a reason to like the cookies????

To be honest, I liked the old recipe better than the new one, but I still buy them from the girls when they are around. It is a worth while organization to support.

Can't help it. I might need some outside intervention. I love the shortbread cookies. Don't open a box and leave me with it.

I don't think this thread is dying. It has a steady flow of visitors. I figured that if you were going to share so much about yourself that I would give you some advice. I would want someone to do that for me. I wasn't saying that it was my wife that did it. I don't usually tell my denomination because salvation isn't based on a denomination, it's based on faith in Christ and His Sacrifice. I wouldn't mind telling you personally, but I just don't want to cause anyone else to be turned off by it.

I don't talk about my difficult life unless I think it's going to push people toward Christ. I wasn't addicted to bars, I was just away from God and kind of searching for answers. It was when I met my wife that I left them for good. Why are you concerned about my family? They are all Christians. No they don't have demon issues, but they know about mine. What is terrifying about my experience? It doesn't mean it will happen to you necessarily. I think it depends on the person if it will bring them to Christ or not. No the others in my church don't know of my Spiritual warfare except my Pastor. My experience like I said, is because of my calling. I DO know of a few others with similar experiences as mine though.

See this is what I struggle with by what you are saying. You told me that you would question my salvation if I didn't have trouble with demons and now you are saying your whole family doesn't. That line of logic would mean that they aren't good Christians. Neither is anyone else in your church!

You mentioned your calling before. I can't find it. Wasn't it about leading a band of angels by chariot into battle? Please correct me if I am wrong. I just want to clarify. If this is your calling and the reason you share what you do, why don't you share it with your church family? Why would you keep it a secret if it was your calling?

Just something to think about.

He is a fraud, that is why.

While I don't share your view on religion,I respect it, and you. Why, because you have a faith and follow it.

He on the other hand use's religion as a shield, and will bend or distort it to match his views.

The evidence is clear,just look at his posts, it is plain for all to see.

@ xxxfrodo
A simple act of kindness does more positive things for religion than sharing your meth fueled psychotic episodes on a porn board. Just sayin'.

Drugs are bad, mmmkay?

Great post, and this is exactly why I have given up trying to reason with him.

It's like trying to have a rational dialogue with a blatant forum troll like (for example) BotanyBoy- it's impossible.

He reminds me of those so-called "Good Christians" who praised Hitler as a "Great Christian Leader" when he rounded up the Jews.
