The May 9th posting “JB the donkey update”. That is when you used the name “dissenter”. That is when I started really paying attention to the words that you spoke on all your comments, and while reading all those comments, realized what you meant. People “tolerate” a lot. You said that the meaning of the word dissenter just means to differ in opinion. Some people may really think that is your true perception of the word dissenter, but me, after seeing all your scripture quoting, know in my heart what you meant. And so do you. Yes EMD

Contrary to modern belief, truth is not relivent to each cituation, event, or personage. Gods' truth is eternal. It is the same yesterday, today, and forever. It is an "exact science", if you will, that never changes. Therefore, There is only one truth, Jesus Christ. If that seems arrogant to you then so be it. I sincerely hope and pray the HOLY SPIRIT will touch your heart and reveal to you the things you need to know to seek forgiveness and find your own salvation TO THE “THINKER”

"My 2 cents," The "G-d " was used after the poster revealed that he was Jewish. That is a way they show respect for the Name God. I did it out of respect for him, when he was the one I was addressing. In any group of people, there are different ways of hearing. But , God is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. And He and those that love Him are angry at the lies of the enemy, not those created in God's image. Mark 4:24 “A Daddy,”

First, He comes “suddenly” to His Temple.

“My 2 cents,”

The “G-d ” was used after the poster revealed that he was Jewish. That is a way they show respect for the Name God. I did it out of respect for him, when he was the one I was addressing.

And, well spoken, caring christians that are posting on this and "other popular stories" think that they have the right to DOWN other people and the way that they think. They call them "dissenters". Then they post on this story, all about GOD, then when speaking to a certain person it all of a sudden becomes G-D. What is up with that??????? All the posts by the "believer's" sound more angry and "judgemental" than any of the others.

These were all evidences of trust and obedience to the one and only true God. He is a jealous God! And we have allowed a minority of atheists and non-believers to take away our expression of faith and our practices of faith!!! I stand firm in my previous post! America has kicked God out of schools and we are and will continue to reap the fruits of these decisions! I love people of many faiths and believe that we can be more inclusive rather than less! Children who beleive in nothing will for for anything! Wake up and look around-read-watch-listen! Our once Godly nation-not perfect nation is in decline-immorality and faithlessness are just part of the equation! Yes, Jesus, my Lord and my Saviour I do Love you, please come quickly!

I cannot scorn you for not agreeing with me. I used to disagree with myself. Then, I learned that I could not put G-d in a box. No one can do so and learn of Him. One has to be able to step out of their comfort zone to learn Truth. And, one must expect oppossition when they do, even from those they love the most. I pray G-d's Best for you. I hope you will meet more Christians who will treat you respectfully...even when they disagree. I thank you for your common sense and respect. “Please Explain,”
