Seeking to preach the Gospel according to the limits of my spiritual talents from God and Lord Jesus Christ, i was guided to yahoo answers. Of course, it would be more appropriate to hang only on Christian sites and forums - however sadly due to remains of sin and fear, i find it harder to connect to more lively Christians, who are much greater in love, faith and peace and God's wisdom in Christ. Still it is necessary to bring all people to the Gospel of Lord Jesus Christ, even among the most fallen, demon-possessed, among tax-collectors and sinners, as He did. May God help me and give me strength to stand strong by faith in Jesus Christ and grow in his love, truth and peace, as guidance for people like i was, unbelievers stuck in sins, fears, worries, guilt. On yahoo answers Religion&Spirituality category by God's guidance i could answer people's questions about God, his son Jesus Christ and Christian faith - which was more appropriate than other less-related sites i used sometimes. However it was necessary to learn that it was a generally den of wild beasts, especially dogs and swine. Only thanks to God and Lord Jesus Christ for sending some Christian brothers and sisters to it as a light shining in the darkness, gentle words of love, peace and truth amidst a storm of sin, mockery, hate and evil coming from unbelievers of all types. Types of unbelievers: Generally all refuse to listen to God's word and ask questions not to learn, but to try Christians to lose their faith. Often characteristics:
troll/immature
perverse
antichrist/propagandist/wolf in sheep's clothing
person with multiple accounts
deranged, mentally ill or demon-possessed
pseudo-Christian
lgbt
pagan
heretic
*Trolls* These are often the most immature users. Scientific studies name trolls to be mentally ill people, bent on sadism and machiavelism. Usually these are teens who are hungry for attention, probably lacking proper parental guidance and trying to find it by annoying people on hope to learn proper example from it. They do remind me of children crying out in annoying tone because they cannot understand what is going with them, nor can help themselves. However in specific cases we might be dealing with mentally ill people repeating the same questions again and again obsessively, trying to cause people to be annoyed or sorry for them, going on for years - showing really dysfunctional behavior, but again - need of attention and care, including hospitalization, just as small children in mind, even if grown up in body. Whatever people post to them, even if told to stop or reported, they don't bother to listen or just create another account to repeat the same routine. Ex: a person who complains about being locked up by parents for drinking and being 15 years old demanding to feel sorry for her, however a history search would show the same question being posted for many years. Another person complained that she was spanked by her parents. As i was searching for more information on this person, on google search i saw her posting on multiple sites. Turned out it was a college girl coming from a divorced family, whose mother used corporal punishment against her bad ways (cursing, disobedience, etc), so lacking a father, she grew to associate love with spanking. Later as her mother had died she was moved by her father to college, generally ending on this his parental guidance - so she resorted to trolling, making up imaginary stories of moving with her father and his new wife, who'd spank her - in fact desiring family reunion, guidance, love and care in life. Another smoking or eating during cemetery services or during minutes of silence, for some reason focusing on children. Another claims to be squashing spiders at school as 22 years old or ants outside, asking is it good or right. At most among them are people who post jokes by picking some part of the Bible and then twisting it in a form of crude and/or foolish joke, often crossing into Christian impersonation, that is pseudo-Christian trolls. Conclusion: we have a sad example of family decay, so that kids grow up totally autistic and unable to fit into society, desperately calling out to attention the only way they can - either by making up lies, or repeating a life-time event and practice which they learned as guaranteeing attention, which develops into a sort of fetish. What can we do? Pray to God for such people to deliver demons out of them in the name of Lord Jesus Christ. It would be good to seek to help such people in real life by God's strength and love, at least attempting to direct them God and Lord Jesus Christ's healing and spiritual teaching by God's grace through a Christian pastor.
*Perverse* It is an often characteristic of trolls, lgbt or any other deranged antichrists, especially present among satanists. It can be attributed to the harmful influence of media immorality such as porn, or fornication so widespread among teens, which can easily corrupt the minds of not properly guided children. They do post obscene pictures or obsess about sexual acts, perversions, tending towards homosexuality and zoophilia (perhaps a result of cartoons presenting overly attractive anthropomorphic animals or animal-like characters crossing into the sin of idolatry, replacing God with these characters), acting out their past immoral experiences or fantasies in form of questions or answers, trying to equate all Christian (catholic) priests as pedophiles, etc. In some cases it seems a form of cry for attention and help, trying to address people about the sinful addiction of this person. In others already hardened by years of immoral rebellion against God, it is a form of standing out - a sexual rebel/libertine of the likes of Marquis de Sade, finding satanic pleasure in corrupting innocent and spreading their sins as a form of hedonistic lifestyle and religion, about which apostle Jude warned, as being wandering stars in the abyss of darkness and sea waves priding themselves in their shame. Conclusion: another result of rejection of God and Lord Jesus Christ's teachings about pure love and marriage - people have become enslaved to utter filth and obscenity. They show feelings of guilt, but try to suppress them by ranting against Christians as source of God's truth about necessity to repent before God's judgement and be saved by Lord Jesus Christ. What can we do? Children should not be present at such sites and should be warned against predators lurking there, seeking for victims to use for sin. It is known that Satan seeks to corrupt the most innocent, so be extra attentive and lead children by example and speak to them about their experiences or troubles. Do not be dismissive and do not annoy them as apostle Paul warned, since otherwise to replace missing guidance and love, they can fall into the trap of satanic depths, trying to equate lust as love, condoning of sin and perversion as tolerance Once again Christian church should be helping such willing to repent against sin or casting out the rest if they intent to devour others as wolves in sheep's clothing.
*Antichrist* This category is large, but in the Bible disciple John did define them so: "18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. 20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. 21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also."
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+john+2%3A18-23&version=NKJV This way anyone who is actively lying against son of God Jesus Christ is an antichrist, be them militant atheist (propagandist), Muslim, Jew, Gnostic, or any other kind of heretic, pagan or satanist. They can be seen in various states of activity: - mockery - it is done by dismissing and ridiculing God, Jesus Christ and Christian faith, by condescending words. Generally they follow the command of antichrist Thomas Jefferson to ridicule our beliefs and who dared cut off any miracles out of the Bible, not fitting his so-called rationalistic views, despite being warned that such will be cut out of the book of life. However he denounced himself as a hypocrite, when speaking about human rights and human equality, he was keeping slaves who were serving his house even if in a hidden way, probably out of guilt.
Instead of freeing them on his death - the number of freed slaves were small. So the same way the mockers pretend to have better morals than Christians, but expecting us to be perfect, they act much worse - since mockery was never proven to change anything, but is known by practice to lead to conflict and violence, as seen by Muslims killing people mocking the founder of Islam, Muhammad. The behavior of such people also undermines their credibility, despite the proclaiming themselves to be intellectuals, having IQ larger than that of Christians and being more moral and tolerant, just because by adopting current society morals, which condone sin of immorality, in reality touting indifference and selfishness as a value (tolerance), their life revolves around posting petty insults, mocking pictures and words about God, Jesus, Bible and Christians, instead of showing a better way of living of love, truth, goodness and peace, which Jesus showed us. Is this really an expression of secular intelligence and IQ? If so, then such societies are doomed. What can we do? Love and pray for such people, try to respond with love and peace and call them to truth and goodness of God and Christ, if they refuse leave them behind - so that their foolish ways will lead them to bad results, so they can learn from them at least, that God indeed was good and right to call them to repentance and righteousness. - hate/insults - a more severe case, presented often among deranged/guilt plagued people, often lgbt, porn-addicts or those who contributed to abortion, is to call Christians as idiots, retards, morons and other improper names, stirring up conflict, hate. There are two main reasons for this, either hypocritical legalistic Christian family, which posed as believers, while living in sin, or sinful addictions leading to guilt and self-hate leading to atheism as cover and excuse from guilt, but periodically spilling out as hate against God, Jesus and His followers, perhaps others too. What can we do? Generally these people are the dogs and swine about whom Lord Jesus Christ taught to not give them sacred nor throw pearls before them. We should pray to God in Jesus' name for their healing and treat them by love as Jesus called us to against those who hate us, so that the rest of people would see whoever is more reasonable and loving as befits followers of Christ. If we would engage back in hate, insults, name calling, we would be discarded as worthless salt, being worse than unbelievers. However, i often failed this, angered by outrageous lies about Christians being called the source of all atrocities in the world, being all murderers, evil, greedy, dishonest - even though such users expose themselves as not right in their mind, since they later would claim that they have Christian friends of theirs who are honest. By this they prove to be confused and led by emotions, not truth, as later complaining they were forced to church by parents, or having racist problems for having brown skin or marrying a black person; so it is more of a reaction against some legalistic and unloving Christians from past, but not Christian faith itself. If the first assertion is true that we all Christians are evil, murderers, dishonest, greedy, then the second cannot be true - they cannot have Christian friends who are honest. The best results i got was by following Lord Jesus' commands Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you. The claim about all Christians being murderers is obviously false, the same about greedy and evil - since there are many poor and helpful Christians. - antichrist propaganda - these are more intellectual or pseudo-intellectual types, they constantly seek Bible contradictions, often by out of context pickings claiming that Bible is the most immoral and evil book in history, that God is an evil tyrant and bully who is responsible for genocides, slavery, rape of virgins, stoning gays, in contrast to Jesus' seemingly milder commands, as if it is impossible to come from same source. However, their objection can be disproved by proper more attentive research regarding most seeming Bible contradictions and removing materialistic obstacles. Their objection to to the Bible can only be valid if people could comprehend God fully in the past and be perfectly good - which is impossible without God, since all humans are imperfect. The fact is most cannot be like Jesus even today. Despite objections to slavery of atheists, it still exists today in form of sexual or work slavery. It makes them hypocritical complaining about past slavery described in the Bible which was severely limited and encouraging obtaining freedom - by law being more free than later medieval or USA slavery laws. For instance by Moses God forbid Israel enslaving of fellow Israelites, but allowed only buying foreign slaves from countries which did not follow his laws, this way placing the seed of love to one another, love your neighbor is present even in Moses' laws, the same about warning to not mistreat strangers, since Israel were slaves too in Egypt. It also allowed slaves to flee and prohibited their return or mistreatment, in contrast to laws of Hammurabi which punished hiding of slaves by death. The same about treatment of women.
Of course we wish life on earth to be perfect, but the objections of atheists just show that they betray a misguided belief in possibility of perfection on earth, which is not reasonable for a honest atheist denying existence of God - who should acknowledge that all humans are imperfect.
Second, God is not a forcing God, generally He allowed people to live by their rules, until it crossed the level of evil, giving them hundreds of years to repent and change their ways, and finally destroying them by the law "Whoever sheds human blood by humans will their blood be shed, for in the image of God, man is made." The only way for perfection on earth is by God forcing us to act perfect, but that would really be tyranny, which unbelievers complain of. Third, they are treating life on earth as absolute value, because by their materialist beliefs they cannot comprehend it as just a temporary phase, since we are really souls and spirits created by God, while our bodies are temporary houses or containers which get old and break sooner or later - leading life to spill out. The absurdity of their position is demonstrated in the worldly addiction to fictional entertainment such as books, movies, video games, where they have no problem with simulated violence (including genocides), immorality, descriptions of slavery, etc. But as soon as they turn to Bible the double standard shows they expect a little girl's paradise of fluffy ponies and rainbows. They do not realize that to God our life on earth is not much different than a virtual reality which people do create and see in movies, games, books. Having no problem watching people die on screens and in books and villains being destroyed, usually by the law of treat others the way you want to be treated, they complain of God killing evildoers by the hands of others similar to them, even though the difference between Spirit and matter is same as matter and fictional stories to us. Do they complain of police shooting or executing criminals? Do not they wish hell to rapists or molesters of children, yet then expect God to overlook evil and sin on earth and not set justice? The Bible did serve as model of organization of the states, hence why Bible influenced hygiene, state laws, setting up of charities, hospitals, mental help, while also fulfilling our spiritual needs by dependence on the only perfect being God and perfect teacher Jesus Christ, unlike the imperfect parents, politicians, organizations, schools, etc. Before you condemn God as using us as just toys for entertainment, you should remember that God did endure more than anyone of us were able, in the form of His Son Jesus Christ - enduring hate, poorness, beatings, crucifixion, death, etc. His teaching and commands preached through his apostles did enlighten pagans to abandon senseless worship of animals and idols of rock, wood and metal, to abandon cruel slavery of fellow humans, killing in circus as entertainment, selfish murder of unborn or sexual exploitation of children as ancient Christians mentioned pagans doing, fights for conquest and robbing other nations, instead of living peacefully as one family of born again children of God as Lord Jesus Christ called us to and instead worship the Creator of the universe and source of justice, truth, love, goodness, who imparts these qualities to us and frees us from slavery of sin, away from the slave-master Satan and past evils by the cross of Lord Jesus into the promised land of God's Kingdom of Heaven. Conclusion: these people are as useful as Gnostic heretics who were influencing Christians to study God's word and expose lie and false propaganda by God's truth in Christ and to grow in His wisdom, knowledge and love sharing them to those who lack it, showing it to them by God's strength and example of Jesus our Lord. - wolf in sheep's clothing the most severe case of antichrists are those lurking in the church, trying to lead others into sin. A case i have seen for years - a person ranting about having power of Satan to destroy Christians. It turned out to be a demon-possessed transsexual person. When trying to help him by Christ's love he kept switching back and forth between Christian and Satanist persona, in Politics section switching back and forth between republican and democrat, generally unable to keep a fixed role for long. But Christian persona of this person generally showed inconsistency and mockery against Christians, trying to show Christian faith as stupid, irrational, hateful, instigating tyranny, slavery, hate, pride. When blocked, he would resort to creation of other accounts, trying to pose as being another person or even a little girl. When asked - it turned out this person grew up without a father and complained about childhood abuse, so it shows what immorality and abandonment of children can lead to. I believe this person is seeking some sort of revenge against Christians, trying to overcome feelings of weakness, guilt due to sin by working for Satan and manipulating others to sin. But it lead to his being kicked out of many churches as he said, who must have understood the impostor they were dealing with. Obvious is the inability of this person to acknowledge the sins he did and unwilling to be responsible before God for his evils, lies and wrongs. So i had by God's word to leave him, since he really was an antichrist deceiver, a wolf in sheep's' clothing, trying to promote sin, under the guise of freedom, tolerance, fun, etc. What do to? Pray for such person, but it is necessary to protect children and others too from their rotten influence. Also be attentive against lies and manipulations, trying to instill feelings of pride, pity, while not being willing to repent of sin and believe in Jesus Christ. Such people can for a while pose as Christians, but their actions betray who they are, so the mask and act of fake words fall to the ground, exposing a misguided creature foolishly wandering into hellfire and desperately groping at others to drag them too, instead of calling onto God for help and salvation.
*Person with multiple accounts* Generally such people are having low self-esteem, so they try to boost it by outward status or quantities of followers or actions to feel more powerful. For this reason they do make multiple accounts to give themselves more points by unfair ways. More followers are gained by flattery and appealing to the lowest common denominator, usually by foolish jokes, condoning sin and hate and mockery of God, Jesus Christ and Christian faith. For the same reason to feel power they seek higher status and overuse associated rights, for example change of question categories, to hide them from honest discussion, as a form of censorship and abuse - to prevent opposing views. Generally these people are few, but the number of their accounts make them seem over-represented. For instance i noticed obvious two people, each having over 10+ accounts.
The first was giving himself airs of a intellectual just for not believing the Bible and resorting to stock answers about evils of Bible such as slavery, Jesus telling to punish slaves (even though that was a parable of punishment of lazy servants, that is hypocritical Christians) and so on.
However in fact he or she acted strange for several years repeating about 20 of the same mocking childish comments and insults by using his other accounts, while blocking people from commenting on his main account. That is acting like some cowardly teenager who casts dirt or filth before some person's door while unseen or into the garden or cursing from distance the people he hates, while running away or hiding to not be noticed.
I guess such people are on their obsessive crusade against God, Lord Jesus Christ and Christian faith - where the weapons are lies, insults and mockery. Let God and Lord Jesus Christ judge such - so they will reap what they sow.
The second seemed to be a self-hating homosexual or even pedophile, as seen by focus on immorality and references to pedophilia
(kiddie fiddling), trying to insult and rant against Christians, for causing him to feel guilt of his sins, resorting in arrogant put downs, loaded questions trying to make it seems as if all the evils in the world were caused by Christians, defending Islam, trying to make Christian faith look the worse - which implies he only considered it the truth from God, being okay with false religions. If called out, he would block you or stalk you by insulting you by multiple accounts to make up for his insecurity. Noted was the deranged mental state of the person, since his writing style was loaded with changes of letter case, accentuation of words such as "apostrophes", *asterisks*, ... pauses denoting mental overload, yells such as YELL, insults and spreading slander and hateful remarks, while also trying to reverse past questions from Christians to re-post them against Christians, or using his multiple accounts anonymously insulting either Christians or atheists and then blaming it on Christians; not surprising since those who are outside of Christ are of the devil, the Father of all lies. However his writing style and the lying and mean character of his questions made him easy to see, so when he posted anonymously questions about being a girl and having sexual relations with a minor girl and asking forgiveness from a father, it started all making sense. We have a classic case of an unrepentant sinner who is daily convicted by God through his conscience for his sins against God, plagued by evil thoughts and guilt for his actions and mean behavior, but unable to be free, due to hate against God and Lord Jesus Christ, since admitting sin would mean rejection of false appearance of power and admission of total failure, brokenness and worthlessness. I have experienced similar state too during my past sinful ways before growing in Christian faith and can only thank God for helping me accept my utter fallen ways and removing false worldly pretense of wisdom and power and coming to increasing reality of my being far away from Jesus' perfection. I hope these persons would repent of their sins too, to be saved by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, as i was, to get His peace, love and healing. It is not my position to judge such people, but i am thankful for God whenever such people do not post at all.
*Deranged or demon-possessed* A close variation of multiple-account person and troll is the example of demon-possessed people, whose writing betrays mental illness and damage,
obsessively posting the same questions and answers daily, probably out of hunger for attention, needing God's guidance and help, unable to write coherent sentences and barely making sense, while generally resorting to insults, negative emotions, probably as result of sinful addictions and guilt. The demon work in them is seen in their subtle mockery of God, Jesus Christ and Christian faith. For instance a person with multiple accounts claimed to put a bar-code on his forehead with the number 666 and then living in extreme fear and worry as result, or being afraid of not being baptized completely but having his nose left out. Another was afraid of having gay thoughts or being guilty for masturbation or worrying about being condemned to hell for trying to rebuke Judgement day in Jesus' name. Yet another was afraid of selling his soul to fish more bass fish, spamming the same questions for months, while in other questions/answers seen as insulting other people as libtards, that is lacking Christ's love and peace. It might seem funny, since it betrays an evil intelligence in their words, trying to actively mock and distort the Bible and turn them against God and Jesus Christ, by trying to show Christians as deranged and foolish. It is sad to see such evil presence and total derangement posting the same questions for many times, as if having a damaging computer virus in their body and mind leading to dysfunction, overload and crashes. Similarly with some lgbt people writing barely coherent rants, showing self-hate and hate at others, unintelligible ramblings from pagan sources, or people with split personalities, generally a good and bad ones, like for example some Singaporean girl, a self-declared abuse and/or rape victim, who said she ran away from home, first obsessed about Asian idolized actors, actresses and horoscopes, later on some accounts posing as Felicia, a Christian teacher and praising God and Lord Jesus Christ (according to what she heard from Christians), on others being emoapple/GothicAngel, a Satanist or hating God for not protecting her from abuse, rape, thinking that God does not love her, by giving her low intelligence, lack of beauty, allowing her abuse, etc. She was seen to be the same by the same bad grammar, same questions about horoscopes, Asian actresses and so on. If called out - she would deny that she is the same person.
Similarly Queenstar, some young woman from Ghana, who it seems was raped too, who complained of being bullied at school, on one account priding herself to have good morals and being innocent, living poorly at home, yet thinking that some of her acquaintances are really celebrities, trying to fight against her, so sometimes wishing to destroy all life on earth in satanic rage, while on other account Berlin trying to praise herself or insult others. Yet another was A B2, constantly referring to some prophet in the region of evil, always referring to Revelation chapters 11 and 17 about destruction of the whore of Babylon, a great city over the earth, it seems New York or Bronx. Always complaining multiple times a day as if being under attack by wicked, which really consist in murmurings, insults, being pushed by bag or elbow, women coughing behind his back or hitting the door again and again or being in poor health as result of poisoning. Earlier he was asking about apocalyptic movies or pretending that the prophet of his mind will dress as some video game character or ninja, will reach Japan to study under a sensei to then kill the wicked with guns, curses and fire from heaven; which seems to me a person whose mind and soul were corrupted by Hollywood violent movies or video games, seeking to elevate himself by title of prophet and revengeful fantasies of killing people by curses, guns and superpowers, wishing to act as robocop, capturing some towers for 144000 Jews, confiscating money, good, having many women as king David, traveling around the world When calling him to go to a Christian church, he would say that all of them are false.
If warned that he is in danger of hell-fire and needs to repent of his hate and evil inclinations to find God's love in Christ - would resort to insults and curses, saying that i am child of the devil, so i had to give up and leave him to God's judgement. He reminds of the past times when i was just in the beginning of seeking God's help and just occasionally reading through the Bible, also liking some worldly apocalyptic movies like Mad Max, Terminator, Cyborg, Hounds, Robocop 2 too, which had some Christian influences, as from Sodom and Gomorrah and Apocalypse/Revelation. Then to deal with fear, worry, bad atmosphere of quarrels at home, i used to walk outside for hours to get more peace of mind, desiring destruction of this evil world, due to reading of new age and other religious books, thinking i knew much or could influence the world, but later by God's help by the Bible after fearing i could end up in jail due to evil thoughts tempting me to do crime, i sought God's help and read the Bible, so that by God's grace, step by step, year by year, gradually i was helped by Him to repent of my sins and have His peace and more sanity, to let go of pride and see myself the way i really was, not a wise and great person, but a prideful nobody, whose selfishness, rebellion and sins lead to isolation and dysfunction, seeking to correct it by following
Lord Jesus Christ paid for my countless wrongs and sins on the cross, so i could be forgiven and start anew by God's strength, since in the past all attempts in my own strength and wisdom failed, but God's foolishness in forgiving and loving my neighbor first, even my enemies, turned better, following a crucified and shamed son of God, lead me to see the little worth of this world, but to repent of past sins and seek the treasures in Heaven, where Jesus is now to the right hand of God and calls us to after opening the doorway by His death and resurrection.
Hopefully the same will happen to such people.
So hopefully the above people would be guided by Lord Jesus Christ to peace, truth, healing, love and salvation too.
Perhaps in some people who allow Satan's lies to corrupt them for long by dwelling on hate, revenge, bitterness - a sort of demonic counterpart develops in their mind or soul, so whenever the person feels spiritual pain on attempt to uncover the roots of sin and evil, to be healed by God's word, which can be as attempting to clean rotten wounds from pus or disinfect it - the demonic persona is uncovered as a sort of defense or automatic reaction. These people need our love and God's help on our prayer in Jesus' name and hopefully casting out of their devils in Jesus' name. Conclusion: deranged people result from continual practice of sin and trying to turn God's word into a joke - which has tough repercussions, since whoever rejects God and Christ and his light will become enslaved by Satan and his darkness of lie and evil. Intentional unbelievers who change their ways constantly should be treated as antichrist deceivers and evaded.
*Pseudo-Christian* It refers to a range of trolls or antichrists who attempt to oppose Christian faith, by trying to show that Christians have no reason nor good example, by spreading intentional lies about us by the following tactic. They put on a person of a hateful/homophobic/racist/woman-hating/ child-molesting, uneducated (hillbilly)Christian, thinking to prove or playing to the worldly stereotype that all Christians are hating homosexuals, black people, women, that we are, as they say, uneducated unintelligent inbred idiots and retards, etc. Usually they can later be uncovered by self-contradiction, in one post posing as Christians and just a few posts later then insulting Christians and posting as obvious unbeliever that God is fictional and Christians are dumb. This way however they actually prove their own lack of morals as unbeliever and their ability to lie especially in serious matters, lack of actual reasonable arguments, giving me thoughts about possibility of such people being among Christians blamed for atrocities such as crusaders, witch-burners, inquisitors, etc. If unbelievers lie about trivial matters, would you believe them, when they say they have seen no evidence of God and Jesus, especially when they prove they hate him by insults as murderer, genocidal tyrant, saying nasty and obscene things about Jesus, mostly projecting their own sinful conduct. The rest are generally are hell-fire preaching impersonators, telling all people to repent. However i must note that i had also had sometimes used hell-fire warning too much at a period of Christian faith, so it gives me hope that some are actually seeking to become Christians in their own imperfect ways, as Lord Jesus Christ taught "Whoever is not against you, is for you." What to do? Generally, try to correct them by Jesus' example to see if they would respond to exhortation, if not - they are probably lying posers. We can pray for them and hope God will lead them to honest repentance and actual faith in Jesus Christ, not as a child playing by a Christian persona. Those who are unbelievers putting on Christian persona continuously should be evaded as swine and dogs and their claims to be exposed before others by love and truth, warning other Christians about them and leaving them to God's judgement.
*Lgbt* This category is often present in the antichrist category, despite being a minority among people. The cause i assume is extreme guilt of these people due to living in sin and blaming God for their past misfortunes and abuses. Let's analyze God's wisdom in creating us humans as both men and women. Any person can see that our bodies and marriage are made for husband to be complemented by wife. This way God willed that the general increased aggression and bluntness of men can be extinguished and smoothed by their women, helping them be more sensitive and caring, or vice verse men helping women be more active and less neurotic. Of course, this can be accomplished perfectly only by God's guidance, who is the source of life, love and peace for all people, otherwise even the heterosexual marriage can become a hellish torture, being harmful for all involved. Where there is no God and Lord Jesus Christ who is the light of life, there is darkness and suffering. The same with sexual practices - the genitals of men and women do complement each other, enabling sexual pleasure at the same time, also due to the difference of characters, not hurting both. Otherwise other sexual practices, including oral and anal sexual practices, prove to be harmful to physical health, degrading and unreasonable or at least one-sided, unable to join and satisfy unions physically at the same time, as God intended for it, for mutual love, not lust and selfish desires. By God's wisdom it can be likened to nuts and bolts, they go together, and serve to fix the mechanism they are attached to. Thus a family serves as an unit of stability for the state. With divorce and remarriage it leads to damage too, weakening the mechanism in multiple places on the run. Otherwise you cannot connect bolts and bolts or nuts and nuts or multiple combinations, which would just destroy them. The same about inability to create children, mental and physical incompatibility and so on. By our conscience God convicts us of all sin, including homosexuality. It is not any worse than any sin, but neither it is better, since the wages of all sin is death. I acknowledge i as a Christian have not always treated these people enslaved to their sins by Lord Jesus' command "Love your neighbor like yourself", what is worse i often had hypocritically hidden my own similar sins, thus bringing shame on Lord Jesus Christ's name. What to do? First by God's help we should repent of our own sins, then only if we took the plank out of our own eye by God's help to encourage these people to repent and be saved by our Lord Jesus Christ, showing them that their sins are not harder for him to break and wash away, as our own were, just as the epistle to Corinthians mentions some Christians being various sinners, including homosexuals, but being washed from it by Jesus' blood. " 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God."
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+cor+6%3A9-11&version=NKJV Or as Lord Jesus did visit tax collectors and sinners to call them to repentance as a doctor visiting the sick, though discernment should be used, to not end up dragged into sin. Regarding the rest, who refuse to repent and just keep an aggressive stance against the Gospel, leave them as Jesus warned behind, unworthy of sacred pearls of God's pure love, truth and Gospel of salvation.
*Pagan* A generally less active or widespread form of antichrists - the pagans, with satanists being the final phase of their rebellion against God and Lord Jesus Christ, seen by increased aggression and immorality, as the desperate ways to get attention and love, and finally self-destruction in desperate fight against God. Others include wiccans and pantheists, reaching in some areas close to Christian-like heretical sects. Generally these are averse to the Gospel, hiding away from it as from fire, usually using blocking, while creating isolating groups, where they spread antichrist propaganda claiming that Christians are corrupting everyone, being the reason for all evils on earth, having forced Christian faith by force on pagans before, while pagans were peace and nature loving people. I should admit that in cases where Christian faith was introduced from above by kings, then some violence and persecutions followed against pagans, though that is more a problem of worldly politics, where former pagans did not instantly become perfect Christians, being outwardly Christianized but lacking Christ's love did conduct themselves improper against others, however that's due to human imperfection almost always leading to blood spilling in case of regime changes.
However the influence of Christian faith was not only negative, but made former pagans as new powerful nations, united as brothers in Christ across the whole world, not being anymore separated by fights over local gods or worse for trying to enslave others, or even conduct animal and human sacrifices, as the Norse or Aztec pagans were known for. So while past atrocities in Jesus Christ's name are regrettable and should be repented of, they should not be over-amplified, nor should neo-pagans lie about the nature of past pagan religions, hiding the shameful practices of drug use, self-harm, animal and human sacrifices, with violence and robbery touted as virtue, with often raids and attacks against Christianized countries, which led to a response, just as practically nobody complains about UN sanctioned war missions for pacification or against violent regimes.
Also the conduct of pagans online shows desire for attention usually by complaining against God, Jesus Christ and Christian faith, despite having no basis in their own religion against it, or expecting acknowledgement as if being something prominent, showing that they are not widespread and their pagan faith cannot satisfy their spiritual and relational necessities. So there are two possibilities for these people, either they would understand the worthlessness of their religion, or continue in rebellion against God and reaching satanist/antichrist phase which would lead them to their final destruction and judgement by God. What can we do? Treat them with love, praying to God for their enlightening, hoping that Lord Jesus Christ would lead them to repentance of sins and acceptance of their salvation by faith in Him.
For the rest we let God to judge them at final day.
*Heretic* A notable and dangerous category are the heretic sects of Christian faith. You can find detailed information about them in the works of ancient Christian writers, such as Irenaus of Lyons, Eusebius of Caesarea and others. Generally they remained the same in our times, even if maybe not as over-represented. I noticed the following subtypes: - marcionites - ebionites or judaizers - new age - hypocrite - Marcionites, are exemplified by the heretic Marcion from 2nd century, who rejected the Old Testament and made up an evil god as the creator of the universe, and a good god as the Father of Jesus Christ. Generally they are or try to pose as more educated, more elitist type of Christians, casting Bible verses:numbers around for show off and claiming absurd and arrogant statements of studying and obeying Jesus' commands 24/7, or having control over the earth affairs (yet not able to fix their lives). So i guess they do so, just like users with multiple accounts, for more attention, to cover up feelings of personal weakness and worthlessness, joining heretic beliefs - to seem more special, more spiritual, as kids might put more rebellious clothes to stand out or seem more tough on the outside. At the same time they too, reject the Old Testament.
Others might claim that Jesus was just a man born from Joseph and Christ as spirit came upon him, as was already taught in ancient times by some heretic sects, like that of Cerinthus. - Ebionites or judaizers, following in the steps from the ancient Jewish sect which denied Jesus Christ being son of God, but calling him just a man, anointed by God. They also considered apostle Paul as a traitor to their religion, for confronting their attempts to force gentiles to keep laws of Moses, such as circumcision, Sabbath and other Jewish related legalism, which did not save Israel and the Jerusalem temple from destruction, which were not kept by righteous men of the Bible, such as Job, Abraham, Noah, Enoch, who was even taken to God alive, and others. This way Lord Jesus Christ restored us to the state of closeness with God that people had before Abraham and Moses, seeking to serve Him more in spirit in truth, rather than by physical symbols of them, as ancient Israel did. So the same way about judaizers, coming from cults who shy away from mention of Jesus' name, such as Church of God and so on, while relying on zealous judaizing legalism, rituals and connections to the state of Israel to cover their spiritual poorness and lack of fruits of the Holy Spirit. - New age, these are seeming Christians whose beliefs might seem outwardly Christian, partially outwardly taken from church traditions, but inside contain a wild and confusing mix of various pagan religious traditions. Most often these are Buddhism, Hinduism (karma, reincarnation, attachment slang), sacred fire (focusing on God and Spirit as colored flames), Hollywood variations of religious traditions, nationalism and so on. For example, one deranged case of heretic would make up multiple accounts daily, posting barely coherent walls of text and pictures, pushing the idea of Russian messianism, that is replacing God and Lord Jesus Christ and Christian faith with faith in Russia and Tzar hidden under orthodox outward traditions and padded with sensationalist fictional claims about zip-codes being number of the beast (666), adding cult beliefs from the fantasy of a child who died from leukemia, who is touted to be a saint and martyr by his mother and others, probably trying to follow in the steps of various new-age Russian writers of 90s, seeking to get money by fooling the gullible and lacking actual Christian faith and knowledge.
It generally makes me sad about the effects of communist propaganda uprooting conscious Christian faith in people and giving them an atrocious stream of filth and nonsense by various sorcerers, cultists and gurus who rushed to make money on people hungry for spiritual things, but in their lack of knowledge of God mistaking false for true, just due to being more colorful and exotic. His rants were inspired by Hollywood movies and new age traditions as if revelations of a saint, betraying gross misunderstanding of Christian faith or expecting Christian life to be close to Hollywood movies, filled with demons as aliens casting diamonds, marking people with 666 symbols, dinosaurs hiding in rivers, pigs glowing green in the dark, which seem to me as insane jokes and mockery of Christian faith by demons, who corrupt the mind of people confused and addicted to pseudo-Christian traditions or worldly entertainment, unwilling to seek the truth and be healed by the true God and His Son Jesus Christ. Later this person betrayed the real cause of his rants, by claiming to be the most sinful of all people, being a homosexual prostitute and wearing women's clothing.
So if you hear about this cult of Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov, even if proclaimed from a seeming Christian priest or monk, as some of them are false teachers causing divisions, run from them as from fire, they were denounced as heresy by official Christian churches and members of their own group, confessing their sin of lying and making up revelations. What to do? It is generally worthless to enlighten such people, because they do not want to listen, let God convict them, as there were confessions from a person working on movies and books associated with this cult, about its being made up into a cult.
Another from a Pentecostal new age church would constantly promote lighting colored candles as if describing the colored flames of the Holy Spirit, meditation and prayers to various known or unknown angels, as if that supposedly fixes all problems, yet at the same time anonymously would ask for help to find jobs or complain that he is sick (having liver failure or cancer of varying stages), with his parents sick or fighting, etc.
I guess such people, damaged by bad family situations, seek easy self-dependent ways to fix their lives - lighting candles and meditation (that is doing nothing and expecting huge returns), instead of using Lord Jesus Christ's commands to seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you, ask and it will be given to you and do not worry for today, for there is enough evil for one day. I can attest that i due to growing in an atheist family and due to hunger for God myself spent years reading these esoteric/new age books, until concluding their worthlessness by the lack of any improvement and good results, despite pleasing promises of power over sickness and supernatural wisdom. Thankfully to God one of these books held a reference to New Testament Bible by which i found God by His Son Jesus Christ and after some years of study did believe by God's grace. Those years now seem to me wanderings in the dark, moving away from the materialistic and gross understanding of this world, going back through the labyrinths of false religious traditions towards the light of God's truth in Jesus Christ and His love and salvation in Him. Christian priests should also be more active to combat the heretics lurking in the churches or outside and exposing such frauds, so they would not devour and corrupt the minds of people, shining on them instead the light and true of the gospel of Lord Jesus Christ. It is good to show love since it heals and it attracted former pagans and unbelievers to Lord Jesus Christ, while pharisaic legalism, as catholic or any church abuses of political power, corruption and false traditions lead people to revolts and falling away. May God and Lord Jesus Christ help us in this task, despite the growing evil and dark times, to be his shining lights by good deeds of love. - hypocrites, that is nominal Christians who betray God and Jesus' teaching for worldly approval, being generally pro-lgbt, pro-abortion and condoning other sins or any other worldly belief approximately "do what you want and God still loves you." For instance a person who claimed to be a former pastor and telling that the the best theology that we should follow from Jesus' commands is love, but when called out for his anti-christian views, would show his hypocrisy, by forgetting of his touted principle of love and having no problem insulting and mocking other Christians, thus going against Lord Jesus Christ's commands "But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire." Another would constantly flaunt being a Christian bisexual at place or out of place, most probably to find sexual partners this way and refusing to listen to correction of fellow Christians, claiming he can trust God's forgiveness as excuse. Such generally focus on words about grace, but reject Jesus' words about necessity of repentance and obedience to His commands,
preferring to ignore any Bible teaching going against their desires, as Lord Jesus Christ warned: "Why do you call me Lord, Lord and do not do what I say?" "If you love me, obey my commands." "But whoever will not listen to my commands, I wil tell them on that day [of second coming], Get away from me, evildoers, I never knew you."
Fellow Christian believers:
I can attest that the fact that i talk about God and Lord Jesus Christ more on the internet than in real life, attests me as not a very social person, still having parts of past fears and insecurity bred in me by believing wordly lies about me being not worthy, not as good, not as smart, not as handsome, not as strong, healthy, wealthy, etc. But at the same time, it is good for me not having them, because then by i sought something better and greater, eternal, not temporary, true not flashy but lying, humble, not prideful in your face, finally finding it in Lord Jesus Christ. I thank God and Lord Jesus Christ for guiding me gradually away from those lies and giving me increasingly more peace, love, hope, strength, despite many many cases of me failing Him and bringing shame on His name by my sinful and bad actions. By this God helps me have understanding and love to other Christian brothers and sisters, even if they are not perfect, some even being deranged, as i was too in the past and in some parts remain even today. Some keep living in sin or still consider heretic books as still valid and wise; hopefully they will reject them later. So some deranged or strange Christians (or maybe not yet Christians) still keep astrology or Buddhist (gnostic-like) ideas as valid, some perhaps hurt by religious hypocrisy - go so far as claiming that all religion is false, and they are not Christians, that they only follow Jesus Christ and refusing all correction when lashing out too aggressively or being stuck up on obsessive remarks against other people. I hope such would eventually return to God and Lord Jesus Christ and would reject all false teachings and forgive those who hurt them to have more love and peace. There are intellectual Christians, more love and grace oriented Christians, Christians of all nationalities, Jewish by descent, Black, Asian, Christian fighters against the lies and spiritual evil of this world. Yes, we are not perfect and do not do as much as we ought to by Lord Jesus Christ's command, but i am still thankful for Him to have many many Christian brothers and sisters as God-lit sources of love, light and truth shining in the growing darkness of this world and i am hopeful to meet God, Lord Jesus Christ and all of them one day in God's Kingdom of Heaven by God's help.
Amen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
