How do you help the helpless?

How do you help the helpless?

You do whatever you can think of and then you think of more to do... like the homeless drug-addict whore (male or female), anti-christians only want to be left alone to pursue their selfish lives.

If you believe someone is going to hell unless you really do SOMEthing about it, what do you do when they tell you you are crazy for trying to help?

What more can you do besides telling them about Jesus and salvation?

If you believe in a rock, does that help you? Does the rock actually talk to you and give you a feeling of love?

If you believe in Jesus you receive EVERYthing in return. You no longer fall for the arguments of the insane. You have real love, true love, in your heart and peace in your mind. You grow stronger and heal faster. You are able to stand against the confounding arguments of the devil and the words of the Holy Spirit pour from your mouth, achieving what we cannot on our own, the helping of the helpless, the refusers of love.

what do you say? do you help anybody? can you help anybody?

the last word is Jesus

My guess, make them watch the Jeremy Kyle show. That will teach them!

Have you tried self-immolation? (Hey! It sparked the Arab Spring — and look how well that's worked out…)

Self-immolation? Didn't South Vietnamese do that to get rid of the Yanks?!

Hmmm... follow that thought... Possible answers: yes or no. But, um, whether the answer is yes or no, that doesn't change reality.

Assume you're correct: life that ends in death and goes no further is absurd.
if life goes no further
then life is absurd.
if life goes further
then life is not absurd.
Ok. That says nothing about whether life does go further, it only says something about what it would mean.

By the way; no, I don't think it would be a pointless and absurd life. Having fun and helping others is point enough for me. Shouldn't it be point enough for anyone?

Fellow Christians:

One thing that would help a lot: Jamvaru, assuming you're still reading this, give some thought to a few things.

1. Triple-A. Attitude And Approach. The OP in this thread was way off in this. Surest way I know to #$&^ people off is to say that they're selfish so-and-sos if they don't instantly agree with you. Sorry Charlie, but with the approach used here, you just lost the very people you were trying to save.

2. Don't burden the Message of Eternal Truth with extraneous, easily dis-proven kooky conspiracy theories. That just makes it all too easy for your detractors to put you and your kooky ideas into the trash bin. That bit about wind-turbines moving the Earth, and big corporations being behind the idea (excuse me, but if they succeed in moving the Earth into the Sun, they get cooked too--- hmmm, didn't think about that, did we) that idea is just excess baggage. Leave it at Satan's doorstep where it belongs.

I can't emphasize this second point nearly enough. Right now as I write this, there is a website which tells you to call on Jesus when you are being abducted by aliens, and if you believe in Jesus the aliens will stop abducting you. Oh, God, I wish I were making that up, but I'm not. Anybody who stumbles across that website can't be blamed for thinking Christians are a few bricks short of a full elevator. Worse, the website is put together by people who are members of the same denomination I belong to. Don't we have enough troubles????

3. Again, I can't emphasize this enough: It's way past time we got our Creation story straight. Right now, there's so many theories out there about how God created all things that we rival Darwinian theories for sheer number, and the bad part is that each new idea is more implausible than the last one.

For the rest of you: I tried. I really did. I suspect I'll still get a few slings and arrows, that goes with the territory when you profess Christ in a place like this. Still, I would like to see "my side" put forth an effort to get it halfway right. It would help a lot if, the next time a Christian posts here, I don't have to side with the Atheists against the glaring errors my fellow believer is trying to push.

Now nothing there to be at odds with at all.

>mjmsprt40

that is very good

because the message of Jesus is so simple, so should the appeal be

"Hey, guess what? Jesus is Love and brings Eternal Life, Joy, and Happiness, if you would only just believe!"

thanks alot

Just like Kissing Hank's Ass, isn't it?

Great news for all of those babies born with painful and incurable diseases.

"Ribbi, why are so many people starving in the world?"

"It's God's plan for for third world countries, Isaac", said Jesus.

Lord love a duck! Must I teach scripture forever? What next...endless questions from Presbyterians?!

That's new to me. Hilarious!

And all this stuff from a man who claims he never acts contentiously or singles out? He's definitely living in the right place for the hypocrisy slant! Not too fazed about falling into your ploys auld yin. However on the thread you started maybe the helpless could deposit themselves in grand Rapids like you did rather than your previous places you didn't want to be part of? Hey that would give you a chance being so wonderfully intellectual and self-appraising to help them once you get out the armchair cumfort zone?! So all you unfortunates - head for Michigan!
