I choose Not to respond to many of you directly because it is clear and apparant from your actions and responses that you are either not saved or your hearts and minds are so harden you will not even comprehend or genuinely hear what I am trying to say.
For those who feel that they are living an honest life and that they are not sinning or doing anything wrong. For those who justified their affliations with Greek organizations. For those who think that worshipping things of this world is not bad. For those who claim that I condemned everyone to hell, which i did not . For those who make extreme comments that I cleary never spoken (RD). I choose to ignore you. Because no matter what i say, no matter how many scriptures I speak to prove the truth to you. Until you made the decision that you want to be free because the truth can only set you free than I can speak to you. Until now i will show you love and pray for you. Again my post was not for Hindu's, Muslims or Agnostics. It was for people who are saved but have been blinded into doing things that contradict the Word of God. So if you already know you are not saved, anything i say at this juncture does not apply to you. Thank you!
Now the only one person I will respond to is ZetaStorm because i believe you say some very powerful things. Out of all these people you speak the most wisdom and have a very clear understanding of the word of God. I actually have received a lot of what you say and enjoy reading your post. You keep mentioning this scriptures not being clear but again like I said I was addressing Christians. And if you are a Christian you should be reading your Word because when I said that God hates divorce that is an exact quote in the Bible READ MALACHI 2:16. Also as to why i have so many post on Greekchat, is because i mentioned earlier that I was an interest of a sorority so i came on here to learn more about the groups and talk to indivuals in that sorority. after i quit the process, I came back on here to shed some light on people who were lost like I once were.
RedVelvet (i guess ill address you since you claim you talk to God), if you truly talked to God. Did he tell you that thou shall have no gods before him and that when you worship your greek organization you are putting it as a god before him. Trust me I know about the sworn secrecies, the rituals, the promises, the crest, the oath. So don't trip and think that all of that is of God. I love it when Greeks blind themselves to the truth to justify their actions. I love going to Greek programs and everyone on the panel says WE ARE A NON HAZING ORGANIZATION!! But wait until the process starts then you are told to LIE about any and everything that took place. Oh yeah lying is a sin too. So how can someone who takes part of this have a TRUE, SINCERE relationship with God???? Please tell me, I really want to know.

You're probably one of those people who REALLY thinks Jesus sends out email and text message forwards every morning with the daily Word.
"If you love the Lord, send this message to 10 friends and receive a free pass to Heaven. If you don't forward this on, I (Jesus) know exactly where your heart is and will email Satan to prepare a place in Hell for you."

Malachi 2:16 King James Version (my Living Word version is in my car right now):
For the Lord, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covererth violence with his garmet, saith the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
Yeah...that's as clear as the day is long....
People, stop the Bible beating and Scriptural warfare (usually based on misguided and biased interpretations of the Word). Pray on it and you will receive guidance. Following the interpretations of humans can sometimes lead you down a path of confusion and self-destruction.

Whatever....
No, you did not directly condemn our souls to hell. However, are you stating that one who worships the devil will be admitted into Heaven? Does one who supports the Devil's kingdom go to heaven? Last time I checked, the answer was no. Thus, through deductive reasoning, would it be safe to think that one who worships the devil and supports his kingdom will go to hell? So, if WE, as Greeks and all other ungodly beings that you claim us to be, participate in such activities that don't fit your list of standards, aren't we hellbound?
Look, I am NOT going to argue with you. I don't have to prove anything to you. I don't know you (as you are UNKNOWN 2 ME) and you don't know me. I don't need anyone outside of life, heart and soul to verify that for me. I know the Lord. I LOVE the Lord. He knows and loves me as well. Plain and simple.

No actually I dont. Dont even know where you got that from. How could an email confirmed your salvation. Usually I just delete those kinds of emails. Oh wait were you trying to be funny? Either way Im not sure how you arrived to that conclusion.
Also Im not sure what Bible you own, so just so others wont be mislead here is what Malachi 2:16 says.
Malachi 2:16 (New American Standard Bible)
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
16"For I hate divorce," says the LORD, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with wrong," says the LORD of hosts. "So take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously."

Why do you doubt that I spoke to Jesus? Is it because He didn't tell me what YOU wanted to hear? He told me that He uses all kind of situations and circumstances to allow His friends to realize that He is there for them (a friend that sticks closer than a brother, you know). Isn't that what He did with you? He allowed your spirit to recognize that a greek letter organization was not for you-that your service may be elsewhere. My personal experience has allowed me to walk among addicts, prostitutes, murderers, idolators, LIARS other so-called "sinners" and not be harmed or swayed from my path. Jesus has allowed me to show sinners by my life that there is better way to live. But I had to be among sinners to reach them. Some of Jesus' closest, most dedicated, personal friends are those who have come to Him out of horrible personal experieces. They have been through the fire and they are now sure of their purpose in Him. I don't judge. I believe in restoration and reconcilliation. In Him there is no condemnation. Let go of your anger and re-read my first post. Its all love.

Yes, my New Living translation says "For I hate divorce! says the Lord, the God of Israel. It is cruel as putting on a victim's bloodstained coat. says the Lord Almighty. So guard yourself; always remain loyal to your wife."
But as you can see, things are often lost or created in translation seeing as though this "modern" translation is very different from the King James version and the King James is probably different from the actual text. Sure, "putting away" could have meant "divorce" back then but I don't know where the rest of that translation came from and neither do you. Moreover, many people are fundamentalists and think that this means that they are going to Hell if they get a divorce (I've heard that plenty of times). That's ridiculous to say the least and THIS is why Scriptural warfare gets a great big "BLAH" from me.
ETA: And no one can be "mislead" by what's in this thread unless they don't own a Bible and/or need to seek a CLOSER WALK WITH THEE.

LMAO!!!!
Unknown2U-
Since you like to read so much, why don't you do some research on the number of people who are in the church as ministers or evangelists. Then, see how many of them are greek. After you pick your jaw off the floor, look into the many charitable organizations that we as greeks involve our time and money into. Can you do this? NO. Furthermore, you probably have a bone to pick with the Masons and O.E.S. members as well, but that's your fight.
I hope that you get out of your prayer closet more and step into the light. We as members of greek letter organizations do a lot more than what you as an outsider sees. Don't get it confused. We wear our jackets, letters, and decorate our homes, but until you become God, you can't see our hearts.
Please don't send a collection plate around either. I can tell it's going there.

unknown2u, first, please learn what proof-texting is and how to avoid it. Statements in the Bible do not necessarily mean what you may think they mean. Second, get out of the intellect and into the nature of God. You don't understand.
