Must I?Welcome to the Forum.
GodIsMyJudge wrote:Hello Roage, my name is Daniel. I'm froopaloop's (Stephen) best friend, but
there's a bit of a dilemma. Your teachings have made him strong, diligent,
confident, and all of the above. With your information, you have allowed him
to put his full trust in God, and increase
his faith within him. But here's the catch
Could you please show me when the one true living God stopped being Omnipotent such that men have power against God's will? When could anything impinge on God and man's intimate acquaintance when God is fully able to completely control the situation? I think the trouble lies in you ability to see clearly and that can indeed be remedied.
GodIsMyJudge wrote:, he's told me that you have pointed
out some misinterpretations within the Bible. You know what he has done
now?
You realize how ignorant you sound here? There are no "interpretations" in the Bible. Interpretations are a function of man's perception of THE WORDS IN THE BIBLE.
In fact there is a different interpretation for every separate denomination of Christianity, and as far as I am concerned, no one has cornered the market on Truth! Jesus himself would not put his name to the vile abomination man created as "the church" as that itself was a intentional perversion of message spread by Jesus. Would Jesus condone such an confused oppressive busy-body atrocity that dabbles in the witchcraft of colorable law and colorable money? He would flog those in the Church as he did the money changers on the temple steps! This vile preoccupation with public prayer and public worship is an affront to God. The amassing of wealth and material buildings, Jesus needed none of it. Jesus himself could be counted as the Anti-Christ as that abomination created in his name is itself deserved punishment of a wretched people who have long ago turned their face from God.
Your friend found favor with God and you complain? You should be ashamed of yourself.
GodIsMyJudge wrote:He neglects a lot from the Bible, thinking that he
can point out things that are wrong from the new testament. Do you know
what this has lead to? Him thinking he does not need to receive the Word of
God when he needs it, for he has full trust in God. Surely this is fine, BUT!
him thinking that he does not NEED the WORD of GOD is disgusting to hear.
Certainly not at disgusting as a man that puts a book before direct communication with the one true living God.
GodIsMyJudge wrote:Here's another thing: He got drunk today
Were I surrounded by obnoxious, judgmental and envious "friends" I would not be surprised if God recommended he do that directly.
You would not be one of the dope smoking friends he talks about are you? It would be laughable if you were.
GodIsMyJudge wrote:, believes that he has full trust in
God still, and believes that God is moving through him every second just as
always. Although this MAY be true
Then I would suggest that you give him your full attention or there with be uncomfortable consequences for you.
Seeing as that it
may be true.
GodIsMyJudge wrote:, I heard him say to his friends that he
doesn't need to forgive men because they are just men. What the heck is
that all about?
That I will give you that it is odd, but probably due to a misunderstanding of concept. That usually occurs when a left-brained thinker attempts to interpret right-brain communication.
GodIsMyJudge wrote:I corrected him on the spot and I heard his ego fly out at me
over the phone telling me that he KNOWS that he made a mistake (which is
blasphemy
I believe I would not tolerate anyone in my environment that even used the word "blaspheme" as its sole functions is coercion and manipulation.
If it is in you to arrogantly assume the judgmental role of correcting Stephen then I am not surprised with the consequences or your lapse in judgment promulgated.
If he becomes more than you are prepared to tolerate then I would suggest you simply allow him to go his own way.
I would suggest you mind your own business, Stephen is going through his own lesson and is under the complete total control of the one true living God.
Now if he is involving you in something that makes you uncomfortable then I would either analyze why you are uncomfortable or tell Stephen that you choose not to acquiesce.
Stephen is excited as he has directly communed with God. I would imagine the effect on you would be similar in its profound nature.
I would also suggest that you acquaint yourself with the one true living God, as really, it is all one can do and one has nothing better to do.
GodIsMyJudge wrote:, for I had to point it out to him) and he went on that God is
moving through him 100% and that he doesn't need my help.
You will have to help me here, why does a man "need" another when they have God? Are you familiar with this man called Jesus? He actually had some things to say and I believe it is contained in the book that you yourself cite and place much importance in.
GodIsMyJudge wrote: WTF??!!
He believes that I'm still his best friend because his main obligation, and
duty, is to have me sign a contract with God.
The situation was confused, as "my friend" would not do something so shameful as to display his envy for all to see in a public forum, to a total stranger without first, at the very least, trying to figure out what this is all about.
Reall,y I think you should review the Fast TracK Material on the main website as that is an oversimplification born out of an unfamiliarity with the material.
If you are able to do as God requires you will be able to take up you grievance about Stephen with God directly. You will then not have to embarrass yourself by implying that I or you have any power over the conduct of Stephen's life whatsoever.
GodIsMyJudge wrote: I most certainly will sign a
contract with God, and I most certainly will abide to his Law. But that's not
the point, the point is that Stephen needs to be told BY YOU that he is
becoming arrogant with this whole sovereignty thing.
You know Stephen is being instructed directly by the one true living God. I would suggest you put away your bad assumptions and ambiguous imprecise agenda and actually try to figure out what Stephen is talking about. Then both of you can grow together in God and he would not have to deal with your overbearing ego and attempts to overstep your friendship by micromanaging a life that, frankly is not you own to manage.
GodIsMyJudge wrote:You know what I saw
him as? I saw him almost like John the Baptist, or one of the apostles,
preaching to man and not caring what they will tell him.
Yes, it was the same way the Pharisees saw Jesus. Because he speaks the Truth, you cannot believe him. This is a typical left-brained ego-based reaction. There is a way that your ego can be suppressed such that you can know the Truth but you will have to suck it up and look critically at yourself. Jesus took no counsel with the Pharisees for good reason. Stephen has no business "listening" to men when he should be listening to God.
Stephen would not be an issue. Your current problem with being able to forgive Stephen would evaporate because, like him, forgiveness will flow as easily and as natural as your current criticism of him.
GodIsMyJudge wrote:That was great, I
saw his love for God.
And still you carp and complain. A man becomes intimate with God and instead of trying to understand you complain to complete strangers.
GodIsMyJudge wrote:But he is becoming full of himself now,
You know if you knew what he knew you would not be able to stop laughing at that last statement.
GodIsMyJudge wrote:indirectly thinking that he has lots of power.
It is OK to be afraid. Ego will do that such that you cannot fully grasp what is happening. Words and language are overrated. There is something deeper going on. Put away your fear and trust God without condition.
That means without thinking Stephen is committing a "blaspheme", without being envious, without looking and mis-judging what you think you hear and knowing all things have a purpose and all things work to good.
More importantly nothing occurs that is not the will of the one True living God so does your concern and complaints really matter? Have you no faith at all?
Do you understand me?
GodIsMyJudge wrote:His arrogance may be a result from an
immense amount of joy and peacefulness
Uh what? You mean being with God makes one arrogant? Fearless and confident maybe, but not arrogant.
I would apologize and humble myself and try to listen to what he is trying to teach you. Put your book down long enough so you can learn to connect with God.
Actually you have no business reading that book until you do connect with God. It actually says that in the book!
GodIsMyJudge wrote:, but that's the problem. From
this, he believes any mistake he makes, he will learn from it. BUT! if anyone
points it out, he just tells them, "Yeah I know I made a mistake, you don't
think I knew? God is making me make these mistakes so I won't make them
anymore. I already know all of that," yadda yadda yadda... He doesn't realize
that the only way he can learn from a mistake is that there must be a
consequence.
Stephen has been diligent with the material and is quite aware of the way things work.
GodIsMyJudge wrote:Though he will tell me otherwise, telling me that I must make
many mistakes, that will cause severe consequences, so that I may learn from
them. But he doesn't need to receive a consequence so that he may learn
from his? BLASPHEMY!!!
You are in no position to level such an absurd pronouncement.
GodIsMyJudge wrote: So, Roage, I ask you this, can you please tell him
about all of his faulty mistakes in his mentality? And also tell him how the
Bible is his key weapon, when he's out in the world, and that he must always
have it by his side, for it will teach him a lot. Thank you.
God is his Armour and the Truth is his weapon and if he trusts God without condition then that Truth which flows from his mouth will strike terror in the godless around him. Sound familiar?
The book says to place your trust in God. To trust a book that God will not allow you to understand until you commune with God, is to violation rule one!
I would suggest that you are not his friend and are envious of what God is doing with him. I suggest that you place your trust in God and know that whatever happens that it is, and always has been, in God's control.
This may be a great opportunity for you to either acquaint yourself with the one true living God
OR
remove yourself from Stephen's life as you have demonstrated quite plainly to me and everyone else on this forum that you are confused, torn, conflicted, envious and interjecting yourself in the most hypocritical and arrogant way into something that apparently God would not have you know yet.
GodIsMyJudge wrote:Servant of the Lord,
Daniel Casillas
God requires no servants as God is omnipotent nor need God "Lord" over his creation as God is God and quite comfortable in his power and position.
For a "Servant of the Lord" to find fault in a man who passionately seeks out God is itself (in your words) "blasphemy" and is a demonstrable absurdity born out of a society whose church serves nothing but it own wretched criminal contempt.

The rest of the forum will have a go at you as it is a consequence of your dreadful lack of tact, manners, decorum and basic decency befitting a man that calls himself "a friend".
