FYI = For Your Information... some threads will be coming that will be entitled FCO = For Christians Only. The title of the thread will start out with FCO and then the subject matter. Example: FCO; What Does Commitment Mean to You?
For those not wishing to read christian stuff; you have been informed ahead of time. It is in the Off Topic section where it is allowed where it has nothing to do with Good Games Empire.
Just because it is entitled FCO, anybody can read it, but if non-christians are offended, do not read it next time you see FCO and spare yourself the "indiginity" of reading such "offensive" material. That is the whole point of entitling the thread FCO; to spare you.
Some topics may "offend" the religious & proud christians. If this happens to you, you can reply as such since you are a believer, but you also have the liberty of withdrawing from reading any future material by me entitled "FCO : ...." to spare upsetting yourself.
I am a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and that God raised Him from the dead, and because I do believe, I am saved, however, God wants us to continue believing in His Son more than just being our Saviour; to believe in Him as our Good Shepherd in helping us to live as His and abide in His words by the grace of God so that we have more reasons to praise Him and give Him thanks when He brings us Home.
Jesus warned how bad it will be in the latter days in how false prophets will come into the churches and mislead many astray into iniquity. ( Matthew 7:13-27 ) This does not mean they are not saved or that they have lost their salvation. It just means they are not ready to meet the Bridegroom when He comes for them at the Marriage Supper. ( Luke 12:40-49 ) That means that unless they trust Him as their Good Shepherd to help them discern iniquity & with His help, depart from them, even the practices of the church that the church refuses to see the iniquity of it, they run the risk of being left behind at the pre tribulation rapture event. 2 Thessalonians 3:1-7,14-15
This is not a system of works for salvation, as scripture said, those left behind are still His, but were found in iniquity as they did not trust Jesus as their Good Shepherd to help them prove everything by the King James Bible of what is not of Him to help them depart from iniquity. John 14:23-24 & John 15:20 proves there will be a need to discern which Bible loves Him to keep the actual meaning of His words for us to follow as His disciples and not be a disciple of a church or any other teaching or even a "movement" that claims to be of God.
1 Corinthians 5th chapter explains why a believer that is a fornicator was still considered a brother, but if he did not repent, he was to be excommunicated by the church to lead him to repentance. This is what the pre tribulation rapture is about. It is God judging His House first as per 1 Peter 4:17-19 KJV as we can entrust Him to the keeping of their souls of those saints left behind to face the coming fire on the earth and the subsequent great tribulation. More on the coming fire judgment on the earth after the rapture in 2 Peter 3:1-14 & below:
Luke 17: 26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
This is about trusting the Lord Jesus Christ as our Good Shepherd in helping us to live this reconciled relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It is about placing your hope, faith, & confidence in the Lord in bringing YOU Home as He will finish His work in you, and thus finish the race to His glory.
The offense will come when His word will be raining down on the false glory of christians since no flesh shall glory in His Presence.
1 Corinthians 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: 7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. 9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; 10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ. 11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
So christians.... if God be willing, this is what FCO is for.... to help you lean on the Lord Jesus Christ to prove everything by His words in the KJV against the church, by other christians, and even by me. Jesus Christ is your Good Shepherd; not me nor any one else. Trust Him to help you abide in Him & His words in the King James Bible to help you prepare and be ready to go when the Bridegroom comes.
Trust Him to be your Good Shepherd today that you may know Him & the power of His resurrection when you see that by trusting Him as your Good Shepherd, you see yourself following Him and not the religious traditions of men nor the sinful lifestyle of the world.
1 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
John 8: 30 As he spake these words, many believed on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

IMO, I don't believe that religious threads on a game forum isn't the greatest idea, even if forewarned with a symbol in the title. A) People like to troll threads, and even if this is a good community, someone may post a comment on a thread labeled FCO and seriously offend someone by a lack of understanding the religion. 
Religious threads even if properly labeled could easily become a horrible flame war against people who believe in other religions, and flame wars can easily lead to hurt feelings and a large amount of anger as religion is a core belief for those who believe in it.
just my two cents, you should procede with caution. but, its your choice.

Thanks for sharing your two cents.
I have noticed how some threads have turned into flame wars anyway, and it did not involve religion. So I know that I may get some flames for whatever the reason if not just to get a rise out of me, but I hope in Him to help me ignore it and permit their replies the same liberty as I have in expressing freedom of speech & freedom of religion here at GGE.
I hope to share and explain if necessary, but if the contenders simply disagree, I hope to just let it go then since it is on God to cause the increase.
Thanks again for sharing your concern for the community here at GGE.

The OP had explained the purpose of informing every one ahead of time so that those that "do not want to hear it" can avoid those threads.outlaw_always (US1) said:@Enow (US1) You didn't answer my initial question.
Yes... we are to spread the gospel, but Jesus also warned against "bothering" someone that does not want to hear it & are quite hostile when someone does. This opens the door for those that seek Him to read FCO whereas those that do not seek Him, can avoid it. See Matthew 7:6-8
This OP gives them no excuse for being offended.
However, some religious and prideful believers may get offended by what may be posted in these FCO threads as sharing the truth will sometime offend, especially when they are practicing that which they take pride in, but it is iniquity by His words.
Galatians 4:16Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
Proverbs 27: 5 Open rebuke is better than secret love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend;...17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
I need the Lord's help to do this as I rely on Him to minister since only He can cause the increase.
1 Corinthians 3: 5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

i am not a christian, but i go to a catholic school.
And honestly, finding shit in the bible is the boringest stuff ever.
see, the biggest flaw of the abrahamic religions is that if judaism gets proven "wrong", then both christianity nad islam are wrong. if christianity is "wrong", then so is Islam. thats just my take on this whole thing

The difference between Christians and those following Judaism is that Jews have added to the torah and rejected the messiah while christians have taken away from the law and even removed the very foundation of their faithoutlaw_always (US1) said:I don't think that Christians think that Judaism is wrong... they think Christianity is like a next step...? Idk ask a Christian..
Jesus said not to add to or take away from the Scriptures. The entire law is still applicable to everyone, all of the books of Moses still apply, and so on according to the Bible, and I personally don't think that some preacher has the right to say that we have done away with the Biblical laws of kosher and so on.
