But it was only their screenname that puts me off because it instantly labels them as a follower of a Satanic belief system.
Sure I could just ignore 'em but I don't want to hurt their feelings and am looking for a convenient 'get-out', I'm just a big softy..
Im sorry it took me so long to get to this but the Bible does say:"Jesus answered,"If you want to be perfect, go sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me..." Matthew 19:21
Do you really think the will care
Another thing I've been meaning to ask is whether we should pray for people who ask us to pray for them, without checking them out first?
For example a lady posted in a Christian forum last year asking that we "pray for the success of her marriage", and of course everybody started congratulating her, blessing the marriage and praying for its success.
It then turned out it was a lesbian "civil union" marriage, she took them all for a ride..
I hope you arent commenting on my Matt 7:1 post, i never said anyone is a bad person, there are no "horrible" people only bad wants and ideas...HE HE.... your first friendship request? And that from a satanic cult member. LOL...i find it rather funny actually.
If you are worried that the friendship request was an attempt to get a 'hair' sample from you to stick on a voodoo doll and poke holes in you, you need not fear. All you really should have done was well....nothing. I think that by starting this thread you have made a this front page news. Most people who tell you not to judge, have now judged you as being a horrible person. All in all. Sometimes things should just be left unsaid. But now that it is done, that is that. I would say there is no need to make a bigger fuss about this than it already is.

Sounds like Jesus is telling us to not have luxuries at the expense of helping others.

Nah, we holy men don't do 'fear'..

I've had runes and curses and incantations cast at me during my years on the net but they've done me no harm,for example a witch in a chatroom said she was invoking the goddess Sekhmet to come and get me, I put the kettle on but she never turned up, gosh I hate getting stood up by goddesses..
