Did I Get Saved Yet?

Polly, Christian = Christ like. Jesus was and is perfect. We strive to be perfect. We fail but continue on. Jesus was the first fundamentalist so making fun of his children you make fun of him. Can't believe I just called Jesus a fundamentalist.

Because Jesus was NOT a fundamentalist. He was GOD. And don't freaking bully me just because I am not a fundie. You are very delusional in thinking that we have to be fundamentalists... And don't say that you are right by being a fundie because we don't need to be fundies and I should be respected just because I am not a fundie. That's it. I quit this website now.
 
If you consider a fundamentalist someone who loves God with all his/her heart and doesn't want to live a life of sin then I'm on board. I love Christ Jesus my savior and even though I sin, I will always strive to not sin. The Holy Spirit convicts me when I do fall short. Praise God for his Love that He will always be there for us no matter what we do. The one thing you fail to see Polly, is that you can't put stipulations on God. The Word never changes and is perfect. You are the one limiting God in your life. You are choosing this world over Him. You know that is free will. Just stop trying to convince us that it is ok on how you want to live your life.

No. Fundamentalism doesn't mean that. A fundamentalist is a person who tries TOO much to not sin, and that person will even avoid a lot of absurd things too, like Harry Potter even though Harry Potter is harmless fiction and Harry Potter magic doesn't even exist, it's fantasy, not paranormal, and then fundamentalists believe conspiracy theories and they are usually conspiracy theorists as well... Fundamentalism is a cult... And I don't need to obsess about God... Obsession is not love, but love sometimes causes obsession. A fundamentalist is also like Ned Flanders from The Simpsons...
 
Well then I guess I'm not one. I just went to captain America, watched divergence, watch tv at night, I like star wars....sooooo I guess you are wrong about me.

Okay, yeah, you're not a fundie, and I wasn't actually talking to you when I snapped. It were the other two who bashed me by accusing me of idolatry just because I don't want to stop loving Severus. It's not even good if for example you stop loving your wife, that could lead to cheating. And putting God above all doesn't automatically mean you have to stop loving your crush, partner, or spouse. Stopping loving the partner or spouse leads to cheating and cheating is a sin.

I am not trying to treat you like a Satanist, Polly. As Christian we should be trying our very best not to sin. As Christians we can't just say "Oh, well I'm saved so I'll just go ahead and enjoy this porn right here." Sure, you will sin on occasion but you should try your best not to.

You've made it clear in quite a few posts even outside of this thread that Severus is equal to the Trinity in your eyes, or at least "also important." I am not judging you but I'm also not going call your idolatry something else to avoid offending you.

From previous posts from Polly we know this is more than just a crush. Sweetpea, you have been on other threads where she admits doing other things we can't talk about anymore. Just because we can't talk about it doesn't mean it magically disappears. Polly is in bondage with this strange love affair with an imaginary character. She refuses to let it go and acknowledge it is an issue for her. And now she is even convincing people on the forum that it is only a crush. She refuses to get help and to find a good church. She has excuses for everything that she doesn't want to give up. Polly needs a good Christian Counselor. And I know from her previous responses to help she will state they are fundamentalist and will argue until she is blue in the face that her little tulpa isn't demonic but in her mind and it is ok. I refuse to ignore her tulpa issue and will not tip toe around the issue.

I agree... the tulpa is NOT okay. Only having a crush on a famous person is okay. Once it goes to far, it's wrong.

Well this is a waste of time. I'll continue my prayers but with Sweet Pea giving her an excuse she will never see that Severus is her idol.
Polly, this thread is supposed to be about your salvation and look at what we are discussing. Severus is the center of your life and that makes him your god.

Oh, I don't want to give her an excuse if she is continuing the tulpa thing. Before she said she would never marry in real life or have a real life boyfriend because of the tulpa. Then, in this thread, she said she wants a boyfriend/husband that looks a certain way, so I thought that meant she was giving up the tulpa for a real person and just had a type she wanted. I thought that was a step in the right direction. Is that not what is going on?

That is not true, Polly. I don't believe in watching HP movies. Why watch sin? If it's sin in real life, we should have no part of it in movies or shows. I think there are a lot of shows and movies people shouldn't watch besides HP.

Also, we are supposed to try every minute of our lives not to sin. We are going to mess up, but when we do, we should feel remorse and try not to do it next time. This is not a bad thing.
 
For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. (Hebrews 4:12 NLT)
Turn off the computer and open your Bible Polly. You have access to the answers of every question you post on this forum. I and several others have given you this advice before. The Word is where you will grow and learn.

Harry Potter is fantasy fiction, not a reality documentary.
 
I don't think what is going on here is a Severus issue. What is really happening is trying to force sanctification verses trusting God for sanctification. Salvation is by grace not works. And sanctification can take time. It is God's power that causes someone to change not our own. I really hope Polly comes back.

What does putting God above all even mean? Does it mean that I have to be a God fangirl?

That's a great question Polly.

Have you ever heard anyone talk about being a disciple of Jesus? What would that word mean to you?

It doesn't mean being a fan girl. It just means listening to God speak to you and when he truly does something inside you will want to make various changes. He doesn't force you to change, but shows you through love why it is good to change. God always speaks from love. Even when God has told me something to change in myself it always came from love and I always felt inspired to change because he would show me how wonderful the change is.

When you start hearing God more you will feel his loving presence and want to know him more. You will love him because he has perfect love for you and gave his life for you, not because you are forced to. God wants you to be with him because he created you and you have a unique personality for a reason. When you take time to read your bible and pray and listen to God he will teach you. He isn't about rules and regulations but about love and love is the real reason people want to change for him.
