@Zac.
Firstly no need to apologise mate.
Tbf I did not actually say I thought he was being bullied by you, but this is how these things start, both on line and in real life…you get a band wagon effect, where my usual instinct is to step in .
( and unfortunately many times to my own detriment in the past in real life, when it was my job to ‘keep the peace’ )
Just to clarify I totally get where you are coming from, in real life I avoid religious nutters like the plague, I see Sploom as a victim rather than a perpetrator.
I’m thinking he has been an easy target, first by his Mrs (by his own admission,) and then followed by her associates.
I see him as a servile and misguided sort of guy eager to please…and defo NO threat to me personally…spiritually or physically.
Eaten bigger things for breakfast in my time…why I’m fat in fact.
If I have the fortune or if you like misfortune to meet him and he has the pic of me I put on here tattooed on his chest …I may well be concerned yeah. youtu.be/5iFrVmCZzWM
I dont have any favourites,I want evertone I meet to be saved.God already showed me what Hell is like,not visually,just mentally,He opened the gates of hell just a tiny fraction for me to have a peek in and it was awful beyond description,not because of fire and brimestone but because of the absence of God
Acts 17:28
New International Version
28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’[a] As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
Somehow,I dont know how,God has revealed to what it is like to be eternally seperated from Him and it is terrifying,given that everything we have is a gift from God.The souls in hell are finally given what they have desired all their lives,eternal seperatiin from God
Sploom:

One of the elders told me that there are only two types of people,those running to God and those running away but Robroy,the fact that you post on here,it does give me hope,not blowing my own trumpet,it’s not about me! I’m nothing compared to the power that God is.It is God who is in control.
In the book of Mathew,God promises to answer prayers if we turn to Him in the right way,but if we have ongoing sin in our lives,we must deal with that first,otherwise He will not hear us.
And looking back ,he has answered prayers from me ,whether ill heath or a good spouse but it sort of spooked me the other day when I realsed we had prayed for your conversion.It just seemed too big a thing to deal with,given He has answered requests before

You need to have a serious word with yourself mate seriously.
If you actually see my responses to you as an element of hope that I will ever cone around to anywhere even close your warped way of thinking …you are more deluded than I thought.
Newsflash…I’m playing along, I’m working you, I’m having a chuckle…
Sorry bud but it will take a much better man than you to make me do something I would never usually do nor want to do.
Bigger and better blokes than you have tried (and failed) in the past.
So time for a rethink and a new obsession.
Cheers.
Luke 15:7
New International Version
7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
God is calling you to have a relationship with Him through His son,Jesus Christ.
The narrow path is open to you if you want it.
Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Not from your God character, but I also saw what Hell was like when I was a youth. Absolutely awful, though the Elders called it Heaven for some reason.
Imagine being surrounded by Christian nutjobs for eternity, enough reason if anyone needs one to turn to ■■■, Drugs & Rock n Roll.

Its never about me.Its something that you can choose but at the same time,God is in control.
Nobody can resist the will of God but at the same time it is our choice.I cant explain that but that’s what the Bible says
No ■■■ ,drugs and rocknroll in hell.
Only weeping and nashing of teeth.The main punishement is eternal seperation from God.The damned cannot repent because repentance is ,itself,a gift from God
Sploom:
I hear Jeffery Dahmer was baptisted a Christian in jail.Who would have believed it?
For those that don’t know who Dahmer is/was, he is also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster, an American serial killer and ■■■ offender who killed and dismembered seventeen males between 1978 and 1991.
Sounds exactly the sort of nutter who would become a Christian.
Christianity, particularly the fundamentalist version, is a religious affliction that is particularly attractive to the psychologically disturbed or needy.

You say things like this and then you wonder why I like you
I’ve had to deal with bullies in the past so it’s always nice to see someone stand up to them.I’m not saying I am being bullied by anyone on this forum because,when it’s all said and done,nobody forces me to log on to the site,so,yes,I acceot that,you know,it’s a virtual world,it’s not reality so the boundaries are different ,maybe,more than in real life so it’s not an issue but if you encounter bullies at work,that’s a different story.It’s took me far too long to learn how to deal with those sorts people
Well.I know I’ve said it before , but I reckon this thread has ran it.s course.
Everybody has had their say, everybody has made their opinions and points of view clear,…and I think that I have made mine particularly and absolutely crystal in fact, I have no time whatsoever for ANY religion.and nor will I ever have.
So even if it goes on for another 40 pages nothing is going to change on either side.
So time to wrap it I reck.
I think this is particularly apt for a load of truckers discussing religion.
…I may well be concerned yeah.
