Not everybody will be saved, but all who put their faith, hope,
and trust in Jesus Christ will be.
 
It's why this message is so essential to hear and receive.

Chris,
 
I'm with you. I am a Christian and believe strongly in Christ and the
Bible. However, at the same time, I know when discussing religion is
appropriate and when it is not (this newsgroup is not the appropriate
place).
 
I have run into people like Rick before. There are fanatics who are
convinced they are right and the rest of the world is wrong. There is
nothing else but what they believe. However, they are not Christians.
 
I actually feel sorry for Rick. He thinks he is preaching the Gospel -
but in reality he has been duped by Satan. I only hope he comes to his
senses some day - but unfortunately, I very much doubt he ever will.

Stop calling people trolls who aren't trolls.
 
A troll is somebody who deliberately makes inflammatory posts in order
to get a reaction, just for the lols. Someone who is simply delusional
is not a "troll".

From a historical perspective, you're absolutely right. Twenty -- maybe
even ten -- years ago, that's exactly what it meant to be an internet
troll.
 
From a "usage defines meaning" sense - that ship has long sailed.
"Troll" is now used to mean "anyone who's kind of a dick on the internet."

They are now.

Why do you believe in Jesus when he never actually existed? Sounds like
batshit crazy to me.

Leigh, you've those seen those cartoons where a person approaches a choice
and there's an angel on one shoulder, and a devil on the other? The angel
is giving advice toward the right thing, and the devil is giving advice
toward the self-seeking thing.
 
The reality is this: because of sin there is an evil voice in this world
that speaks into your flesh. It is invisible, but that voice comes in the
form of thoughts, beliefs, ideas. It makes many of the things you think
you've come to realize be not even your own thoughts, but they've been
injected into your thinking so as to guide you into that falseness.
 
It's why I ask people to seek the truth. By simply setting your focus on
the truth, God knows you are seeking the truth. And because you are then
truly seeking the truth, He makes it possible for you to know it.
 
I know you've said you blocked me and therefore probably won't read this.
So I would ask someone else to reply to this and quote the content so Leigh
can read it.
 
Every person on this Earth has immeasurable value. We are here in a sinful
world, and there is disease and limitation here. But we won't be here on
this Earth forever. We will enter into eternity as perfect beings in our
perfect angel-like body that never ages, never tires, has no bad days or
headaches or times when it's difficult to concentrate, etc. In the eternity
God has provided, we will all be at the absolute top of our game continually.
 
It is that very thing the enemy, Satan and all his demon imps (demos are
fallen angels, angels who turned the back on God and went their own way,
doing their own thing, and in so doing condemning themselves to Hell
forever) are lost. They are without redemption. They will never be
returned to the Kingdom they left. And they are angry with God because
of it. And because you were made in the image and likeness of God, they
hate you, and they want you to be destroyed as well.
 
Jesus made a way out of that destruction, and Satan and all his demon imps
are working day and night continually upon everybody in the world to keep
them from coming to this saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
 
Only Jesus Christ can set us free. It's why the enemy invests so much
time in discrediting Him, and in discrediting the people who follow Him.
 
But it is a real promise, that if you that if you seek the truth, you will
find it. God will personally see to it, and you will come to the right
and true knowledge. But if you do not seek the truth, the enemy is there
to fill you with everything you'll think is right, but all of it will be
wrong.
 
Please somebody, reply with this content quoted so Leigh (Mr. Flibble) can
hear this message.

To make this point even clearer, there are times when you are approached by
someone like me who is going to tell you about Jesus Christ. You will feel
upset, angry, have thoughts of those Christians who did some heinous thing
(that truly was heinous) come back to your mind.
 
As you stand there being approached by someone who's bringing the good news
of redemption, of eternal life through Jesus Christ, to your ears and into
your life, the enemy is there pumping you and injecting you full of hate
toward the message, such that perhaps even all of what you feel in that
moment doesn't even come from your own true feelings. You are feeling the
things the enemy is injecting you with.
 
The enemy has only the power we give him. When we stand up against the
enemy in our own power, we are still powerless. But when we stand up
against the enemy with our faith in Jesus Christ brought to bear against
Him, that's when he flees, that's when he's defeated.
 
The enemy is not scared of us. He's already defeated us. We are already
lost. The battle is his and for those who don't find the victory in
Jesus Christ, the victory is his.
 
But for those who put their faith in Jesus Christ, they have victory because
Jesus defeated Satan completely at the cross. When He went to the cross
without sin, and was then able to transfer the sin of all who would believe
in Him (past, present, and future) to Himself, and then die to sin (which is
the Godly requirement of the punishment of sin, death in Hell), then all who
put their faith and trust in Him were set free. Satan's attack upon God and
mankind lost all of its power.
 
And still today, the ONLY people who will enter into Hell will be those who
choose to reject the free offer of salvation in Jesus Christ, such that
they prevent themselves from being saved by their own hard hearts. And,
just as Satan and all his demon imps are lost, so too are those who have
such hard hearts that they will not receive from God even the very ticket
out of the death sentence looming large over them.
 
What Jesus has done is the most amazing thing that's ever happened for us
in this world. Knowledge of this is more important than any other thing.
And the knowledge of salvation through Jesus Christ saves the eternal soul
of living human beings.
 
There is nothing more important than this in a world where sin reigns
because men love darkness more than light, evil more than good.

All of the war, all of the hate, all of the fighting, all of the death.
It's all the result of sin, and the evil spiritual influence that comes
to our flesh from our spiritual death, which is the result of sin.
 
We are three-fold beings: soul, body, spirit.
 
When Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
they disobeyed God and sin entered in, and with sin death. Adam and
Eve immediately spiritually died, but in their body they continued on
here in this world. Being no longer alive spiritually, they were on
all points easily deceived by Satan, who influenced them spiritually.
 
The spiritual influence upon dead-to-spirit flesh continues to this
day. It's why there are so may who rise up and fight and kill and hate
and war. The sin living within them enables it.
 
When we come to faith in Jesus Christ, He takes our sin away. He
removes our sin from us, so that we are then without sin. Being without
sin, and without sin's punishment of death, we are then alive again
spiritually. This is the born again nature, and it is alive again in
the spirit.
 
The born again spirit is our eternal spirit, which is eternal life. We
no longer are dead spiritually, which enables us to discern the matters
of the spirit at work in this world, and to be able to also hear God,
and follow His guidance, for God also is spirit. God's Holy Spirit also
comes to dwell within us, to guide us from within into all truth. We
possess information from Him continually, which is why born again people
change.
 
We are not merely these bodies. We also have a soul and a spirit. The
soul is the essence of us, the "true Rick" which exists. We have a
presentation here in this world through our body, and it is our spirit
which connects the two together. When we pass from this world, we leave
our body and go to sleep. We are then awakened later, summoned by name
to give an account to God for our lives here. But for believers, we have
already passed from death to life, so we do not sleep, but are with the
Lord forever in paradise.
 
There will never be peace until sin is put away. For each of us
individually that can come through our accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord
and Savior, and in so doing our sin is removed from us. We still live in
this sinful world bearing the inertia and scars from our former sinful
life, and the sinful life all around us. But we ourselves no longer have
sin, and we begin to shine in this world as the guidance of God in the
darkness, giving people light to come to Jesus Christ and be saved too.
 
When Jesus returns, it will be all over. He will rule and reign with a
strength without measure. Every enemy will be put away, and He will
maintain discipline and order in His Kingdom. And although we think of
such a tight reigning king here upon this Earth as being necessarily
cruel, it is not so with Jesus. He created us to be His, and to prosper
and thrive in His universe. We will be unconstrained, except in the
areas of sin.
 
Adam and Eve had one rule to obey, for example. The entire Earth was
theirs, and everything in it was given over to them for their
administration. But with one rule to obey, Satan came and tempted them
to breaking that one rule, and the world we live in today is the result.
 
-----
Jesus Christ is returning soon. His Spirit is being poured out upon men
and women like me as we raise our voices in these end-most times. His
approach is being broadcast by our warnings of His coming, of our warnings
that each person needs to repent of their sin and ask forgiveness from
Jesus Christ in order to have eternal life.
 
Everyone who seeks the truth will know this. Everyone else will be blinded
to it to their own eternal peril.
 
Seek the truth on this matter. Resolve solidly within yourself to honestly
seek the matter out, to find out if Jesus is real or not, to find out if
there really is eternal punishment for sin or not, and in the mere setting
your mind upon seeking the truth, God will make it possible for you to come
to the real knowledge of it. It will not be me or another like me teaching
you, but it will be He Himself.
 
Seek the truth and you will find it, and the truth will make you free (from
the bonds of death, from sin in this world, from the enemy's deception upon
your mind, your life, your actions, your goals, your thinkings, your deeds).
You will not believe the deception that is at work in the world.
 
Seek the truth and God will do the rest.
 
Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin

In other words, what you are doing is performing magical incantations,
plain and simple. You can reword it however you want, but that doesn't
change the fact.
 
> moralistic and intolerant of the opinions and behavior of others."

Well, the description seems to fit like a glove, you self-righteous
hypocrite prick. If you had even one honest bone in your body you would
see it, but you are so delusional that you can't even see your own
hypocrisy.
