To who ever is willing to read this..
I'm really disgusted with the so called christians in this world and
especially the POTTERS group...
I studied the bible when i was 17-19 years old and decided at that stage the
teachings where very contradictory to the bible that I read and as time went
on i realised that the teachings are the persons views and not the bibles
teachings...
Now after 20+ years I have come to realise also that the so called christians
in this world are very nasty people and DO NOT PRACTISE WHAT THEY PREACH...
I would like to point out to a few people what the bible says..I wont quote
verses as it will assist you in the understanding of this bible if you search
for these verses yourself, and with any luck you may reap the knowledge that
these books of belief provide...
It is written in the bible that "thou shall not judge or condemn" and also
says "by what measure you judge and condemn you shall be judged and
condemned"...
Now have a good think about these words as only a few of the christians I have
met live by these words and nearly all are no longer members of the
churches...I refuse to be a christian ever again and do not wish my son to be
raised with these very hypocritical people... I will teach my son
christianity as well as some budishm and also some wicca...He will have the
idea of his own and at the end of the day i wish him to be very accepting of
others and to accept that other people have there own beliefs and that is
acceptable to him then...As for this view of the christians that if you dont
become a member of there church and succomb to there ways, you will go to
hell...Tell me have you really read the bible with an open heart...I dont
think so as I know people that have and have become very good friends with
them, and they also accept my beliefs...
A true christian would never turn on a gay person or a prostitute or even a
condemned man for that matter...Y, because JESUS didnt...
As for me...Well to start with the bible has no reference to my life or the
way I am, and as such I cannot see why these so called good people must judge
me for my actions...I am a male to female transexuel and I'm also raising my
7 yo son alone...I have been assualted by christians...I have also been raped
as a child by a christian and as an adult, also by a christian...So dont you
people tell me how good you are when you cant even live or read the bible and
understand that it teaches respect of other people...
You do realise that unless you do right by others you will not stand by god
but you will be condemned to hell...
Next time you read the bible drop the attitude you have and read the words
with an open heart...
I along with the rest of the world will be greatly appreciated if people start
to read the book of there religions instead of listening to anothers
teachings(which are tainted with there own ideas)...

Bless the people and

I'm truly sorry that has been your experience with religious people. I would, however, like to point out that your anger seems to be directed at the modern day Pharisees and Saducees that seem to have attempted to undo the very thing that Christ came for. I don't think that you would find any animosity from someone who really understood who they are in Christ. Having studied many religions, and even having been wiccan once myself. I would like to merely encourage your continued search.

God Bless,

Derek

Wow! Your story is very interesting and informative.Those people who judge you and condemn you are [b:6142c64d80]wrong wrong wrong.[/b:6142c64d80] :x
When you mention the Potter's Group, is that in any relation to Master Potter Ministries founded by Jill Austin? :confused:

just a quick note i was studying to be in the ministry of the anglican church and changed my veiws for my own reasons...as for the attitude portrayed by these individuals, they are few and far between but make the biggest impact on ones life...
christ never turned his back on people and also did not force people to accept him, but he did offer compassion which this world truly lacks in this day and age...
As for wicce, well it is a very understanding belief if the person wants it to be...
All religions when practised and not just preached, say to accept others and live happily together...
its a pity we just cant all get along and accept that some do not want to be sheep and not go hiding behind the cloth......
