A request for each of you

[Rick C. Hodgin]

To my fellow "Usenet group"ies:

I come before you today with a request for each of you. I ask
you to give it an ear and ponder it in your heart. Consider it
for a time each day and think about what it means to the baseline
fundamental views we hold in our lives.

-----
My request is that you consider what this means to your self-
image: You were created. You do have a purpose. You were not
an accident of random chance in this universe. You were, instead,
specifically and purposefully hand-crafted by God, hand-placed
into this world where you are, with a purpose to have a real im-
pact upon this world. To further realize that within the creation
of your existence, the one creating you had a real purpose in do
doing. God created you with a goal of certain things He wants you
to do in this world, for example.

Think about this idea: That you were created, that you do have a
real purpose, and that you will go on after you leave this world,
and that you do have a choice today regarding how you will live
your life, and that the warning given you by your very creator is
that there is a real enemy here in this world, responsible for all
that we see wrong here, who seeks to mislead you, trick you, trap
you, and ultimately destroy your soul by leading you away from God,
but if you will give God an ear, and stop hardening your heart
toward Him, that He will guide you not only to safety in this world,
but to the fullest, richest prosperity in Him.

Think about this. Read it a few times. Make sure you get a clear
understanding: You were created specifically by God. You have a
real purpose, and there are two paths before you: one leading to
forgiveness for the wrong you've done, to be a part of God's plan
for your life, one that keeps you unforgiven in the wrong you've
done and is leading away from God and God's plan for your life.

-----
God created you for greatness. He loves you. He will lead and
guide and protect and save you from all evil. But He also honors
you too much to violate His greatest gift to you: your volition.
He will not violate your free will to choose. But look into Him
and see how He's revealed Himself through His Son. The Bible
gives us a view of God that explains things in a way which really
resonates on the inside if you're willing to receive it. But if
you harden your heart, it will always only be a book of laughable
tales and fantasies.

The choice is yours, but the truth speaks to you. You were God's
creation. You were made special. You do have a purpose. And
you will go on after you leave this world. God has a plan for you
and will save you from everything bad, and give you a real and
secure future that dwells in fullest, richest prosperity for you,
His beloved and held dear, most special creation.

Thank you,
Rick C. Hodgin

long before I was a concern, or you were a concern.

You can go to that scripture and read what I've taught you for

I am teaching. You can then realize that any issue you have with
my teaching is not an issue with me, but with the content of that
Bible. And then you can realize that the issue you have with the
content of the Bible is really an issue you have with God, because
He told men what to write in the Bible.

The information is given freely to you, fir. It's not our job to
make you read it, make you believe it, or even convince you of it.
That will only come from within your own soul, as God Himself must
draw you to it.

Take care, fir. You are a beautiful and remarkable person. The
reason God reaches out to you in this way is because He loves you
and wants you to be forgiven for your sin. He wants you to be
with Him in Heaven shining on after you leave this world. He even
asks you to put Him to the test, and taste and see for yourself if
He is all He claims to be in the Bible.

note btw my dislikeness for dots and periods (comma? i always thinked comma is '.' and this ',' is period)
also with dislike for big letters makes sentences harder to parse maybe i just should incorporate longer spaces in the place of dots

btw Eenglish for me personally when im in good mood 4 that is like an explosion (centre of some real BANG||) (foggy center of explosion - full of steam/ wreaths of fog, bbillons of steam)

[fir]

ps our idiot again produced his depressing demented drunkhead and idiotic idiotization - geting in in the field of this idiotism is harmfull so i warn to awoid this like some avoids sepping in all idiotic trash

not our idiot should rename its CAlive crap into CDeath
(or at least CIdiotAlive, but more seriously CDeath is adequate as his drunkhead intelligence is for long time absent and dead - this makes our idiot is real bad harm mmaker - not fun)

[fir]

note yet that both inteligence and stupidity makes some kind of radiation (vawe emision) /though this is a metaphor ofc/
if some intelligent fellow writes something that is vividly intelligent some other people aroubd imo sometimes are a bit viser coz they automatically
get some intelligent 'quantums; of thoughts

sadly the same works imo in the case of usenet idiots
like ramine hodgin or chang - they aloo emits the vawes - the waves of stupidity which then kills the quality of thoughts of readers at least in some more
susceptaple spectrum.. thet is what makes those bad idiots so bad...............

[Rick C. Hodgin]

There are two forces that work in this world, fir. There is flesh,
and there is spirit.

All people are aware of flesh-based things. You have input from
your natural senses. But not everyone is aware of spirit input.

Evil spirits use this unawareness to trick and deceive your flesh.
The exert an influence into your body which you perceive as your
flesh giving you certain input. You are unaware of the spirit
cause of that input, so you just think you "feel that way."

The truth is that if that spirit presence wasn't there, you wouldn't
feel that way.

-----
What Jesus offers you is forgiveness of sin, and new spirit life,
that which is called "the born again" nature.

When your spirit is alive, you are no longer just flesh, but you
are then flesh and spirit, and you are able to be aware of those
evil spirits influencing your flesh against your will. You're
able to identify their false input and compare it against the truth
of God that is given you through the Bible, and by His Holy Spirit,
so called because it is different than the evil spirits in this
world.

-----
This information is given to you by God, fir. I pass it along to
you because I have been taught. If you ever come to believe, you
will also pass this information along because you have been taught,
and you will then know how that information has changed your life.

Jesus is life, fir. Literal life.

It's why I teach you about Him ... so that you to can have eternal
life, so that you can be born again, so that you can live on after
you leave this world thriving in the paradise of Heaven, restored
to the plans God originally had for you before sin entered in and
destroyed everything.

[Rick C. Hodgin]

I should add: This new information, this ability to separate the
truth from the falseness, then allows you to make choices in this
world which reject those evil spirits and their influence, and
instead you are able to embrace God and God's guidance for your
life.

God never leads you falsely or wrongly. It is only evil spirits
which do that. And when you are able to know the difference be-
tween the two, then you are able to follow after God, because you
can understand the things He is teaching you as He intended for
you to understand them: spiritually.

Each of us is in this same predicament. Even born again Christians
who are seeking to live holy lives still face the daily onslaught
of the sin of this world, along with their own fallen-in-sin body
which is wanting its own wants and lusts, which are literally at
war with the things of the spirit.

The spirit seeks eternal things, things of God, things that lead
those around them toward salvation and increasing prosperity and
growth. The flesh seeks after selfish things, self-focused things.

It's why I'm working on CAlive. I want to empower other people
because the change made within me (to follow spiritual things) is
real, and it has asserted itself into my life. It is not just
Rick who seeks to do this, but it is Rick's spirit, and the Holy
Spirit guiding me spiritually to do these things here in this
world, to benefit others, as an example to others, and it also
bears witness to my changed state.

-----
Christianity is real. It's not a religion. Jesus came to forgive
our sin, and His forgiveness is real. It changes a person from
the inside out because of the new spirit nature.

We (people) literally are made into new men and women. We are
complete and new creations in Christ... because of our new spirit.

[Rick C. Hodgin]

There is additional information about this on this thread:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.arch/FHcTC4_xQMs/uwwqpFrHBAAJ

It describes how we are all a part of a larger-than-any-of-us plan
put in motion by God, whereby He created us on purpose, put us where
we are on purpose, gave us the ability and opportunity to learn and
know and be creative and do (on purpose), so that we could be a part
of that which He is doing for mankind.

Our goals in using the skills and abilities we've been given, and
in our labor time and efforts, are to look up to Him and see how He
wants us to be a part of this assembly of man He's created.

Each of us is a part of that system, and when we acknowledge that
actively, and look up to God actively, and seek how we can use our
skills and talents to improve the people around us and be a part of
that world He intends for us here on Earth, then we are moving as
we should be, and then we are part of His plan, and then our labor
will bear forth unto real fruit, even fruit which lasts into the
hereafter because those things we do for Christ will be tried in
the fire along with all our other works, and those things we do for
Him will not be burned up by the fire, but will endure, and we will
receive a reward.

Refocus your life and your life's purpose on serving God with your
skills. Don't follow after the ways of the world, but rely upon
God to provide for you, and use everything you possess to try to
improve the lives of those around you. And if you ever have any
doubts or concerns on how to do that, ask God the Father ... literally
ask Him in prayer. Say in your prayer, "Jesus, I've come to you
asking forgiveness for my sin so I could be saved, and now I'm here
wondering what to do next. You've told me that I can come boldly
before the Throne of Grace, and that I can speak directly to God the
Father. So, I come forward and I ask: Father, please show me in
my life what to do, and how to do it."

God has promised to guide us:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+1%3A5&version=KJV

James 1:5 - "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that
giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and
it shall be given him."

The word upbraideth there means it won't be tangled or confusing,
but will be easy to receive, known, and understand, because God
gives to us at the point of our abilities, just as you would give
to your 14-year old at a 14-year old level, and your 8-year old
at an 8-year old level. God does the same for us.

It is a great comfort to know you are part of God's Kingdom. It
gives you real inner peace, and as He begins to work in your life
you look around and go, "Wow! Will you look at that." It's not
you doing it, but it's God living inside you guiding you to do it.
It's something you cannot help but feel awe over.

It's interesting how the spirit of God works in a person. When I
posted this, there was a feeling inside of me that I did not have
the correct definition for upbraideth. I have heard teachings on
this matter before and that was the explanation given me, but the
spirit of God guides us to all truth. He gave me a feeling within
my core that it wasn't right.

I went and looked it up:

http://av1611.com/kjbp/kjv-dictionary/upbraid.html

2. To reproach; to chide.
God who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not.
James 1.

It means God won't criticize you for not knowing something, or
having not yet figured it out on your own. He's a good Father,
and He teaches His children properly, lovingly, in all areas.

you are quite alone in your hopeless dark hole
poor idiot rick

note im not saying this to make you feekl bad (though you probably should) i say this becouse you are bad maniacal idiot maniecally trashing the academic (well, sorta) group in radiation of hopeless stupidity - the group needs defence against idiots like you (and im here only to give a bit of defence here)

[Rick C. Hodgin]

The things I teach are not things the flesh can understand. But if you
will be willing to say, "God, I do not know if you truly exist or not,
but if you do then I would like to know the truth," and mean it, then
God will do the rest for you.

The reason I write these posts is because (1) God loves you, (2) God
saved me in my past which gives me (3) a love for you in my heart, and
(4) He wants you to be with Him in Heaven, but (5) until you come to
Jesus and ask forgiveness for your sin there is a barrier separating
you from that end.

I teach you these things so you can overcome that barrier and be in
Heaven with God after you leave this world. I also want you to serve
Him while you are here in this world as I am doing, because the things
we do for Him in this world DO CARRY FORWARD to the next world, because
they are not Earthly things, but are spiritual things, eternal things,
Heavenly things.

Consider these things, fir. You are a very intelligent individual.
If you come to God with the "I would like to know the truth" attitude,
then He will make it happen.

[Rick C. Hodgin]

I know you think this, fir, but I know something different, and it is
that which I am trying to teach you with the hope that you also will
come to know it.

There is coming a day of judgment for each person, a day when they
will stand before God to give an account of their life. Those who
have been forgiven for their sin by asking Jesus to forgive them will
not be judged, but will receive rewards for the things they've done
because in the book that's been recorded about their life, every bad
thing they did (all sin) was removed by Jesus when He forgave that
person. All that remains is a straight-forward account:

On this day, so-and-so was born.
On this day, they did this thing for Christ.
On this day, they did that thing for Christ.
etc.

For the believer, every reference to sin to wrongdoing was removed.
But for the one who remains unforgiven in their rebellion against
Christ, having never received His offer of salvation, every misdeed
remains written down in that book, and each person will be judged
based on their own works (see the note below).

I would save you from that, fir. It's why I teach you these things.
There's a way to be set free today. You can be saved and know for
sure where you are going after you leave this world.

Jesus alone makes it possible. It's why I teach you about Him.

[Rick C. Hodgin]

Last night, I was listening to a sermon from a church in Hawaii,
and I heard the most amazing thing I've ever heard regarding Jesus
dying on the cross.

It was from the communion part of their service published on
YouTube (beginning at 1hr 19m 0s):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQj-_BVAG1U&t=1h19m0s

The pastor's talking about the bread and the wine, and how Jesus
said as often as you eat this bread, or drink this wine, do this
in remembrance of me.

He teaches of the two elements which came out of Jesus when he
was pierced by a spear at the cross. They were blood and water,
which are also the two elements which come forth when a woman
gives birth.

He teaches that it was the birth of the bride of Christ, which
is the church (believers in Jesus Christ), taken from the side
of Christ in His death, just as Adam's bride had been taken
from his side when God put Adam into a deep sleep and made Eve
from his rib. God made Eve for Adam, just as He made His own
bride for Himself.

Jesus literally created His own bride by His death on the cross,
birthed at the time of His death, with the seventh wound He
received (two in His feet, two in His hands, one on His back
from the scourging, one on the head from the crown of thorns,
and then one more, the seventh, was the piercing of His side
by the Roman soldiers -- seven is the number of Biblical
completion. It comes up time and time and time again in
Bible scripture, and is significant to God's design).

-----
It's the most amazing thing I've ever heard about the full
circle from man's original creation to Christ's redemption of
man, in the same pattern from pre-fall form, to salvation-from-
the-fall form.

I've never heard his piercing explained in that way in my
entire life, and even with a tremendous amount of active study
of the Bible since 2004, in listening to sermons, thinking
about these things, searching the matter out, etc.

God is so beautiful in what He conveys. You just have to be
looking for it. You just have to be willing to receive it.

[Tristan B. Kildaire]

Dude. I'm a Catholic. But please there are groups for this (and not this
one).

[Rick C. Hodgin]

The enemy teaches us to divide our lives like that. Jesus teaches
us to serve Him first in everything, and that means overtly, and
by name.

It is a lie of the enemy that we are supposed to segregate our
lives. We are supposed to integrate Christ into every nook and
cranny. He is the lead, the support, the follow-through. Everything.

Why is Jesus a burden to people? What undesirable thing does He possess?

He came here to forgive us.
He came here to save us from condemnation to eternal Hellfire.
He took on our pain and shame from our sun at the cross.
He restores us to eternal life.
He's giving us a mansion in Heaven.
He's giving us a new body like the angels.
He's promised a future with our saved loved ones.
He says even the streets in Heaven arw paved with gold.
He promises to wipe away every tear and provide for us all things.

Why is He too much to bring to the front of our lives?
What better thing to we have to knock Him out of the #1 slot?

Nothing! We have nothing we can put ahead of Him.

It is only sin that keeps us from bringing Him forward and crying out
loud with all we are: COME AND BE SAVED TODAY BY JESUS CHRIST!!
GAIN ETERNAL LIFE THIS VERY DAY!!

Well, COME AND BE SAVED TODAY BY JESUS CHRIST!! GAIN ETERNAL LIFE
THIS VERY DAY!!

What fools people are in sin. And how ashamed they will be on that
final day. Jesus is everything to us ... yet people would kill Him
if they could, silence Him where they can.

The day is coming where all such folly is revealed.

He - nothing. You are a burden, because you're intruding his teachings to

The only sin relevant to the C language group can be found in math.h.

Adam, if you want to know I am willing to teach you, but consider this:
not everything in the world is geared toward hate, or harming people, or
doing bad things, or being evil, or taking advantage of the helpless and
weak.

Jesus Christ teaches us how to lift ourselves up where we're able, and
to help others be lifted up where we're able, and to rely on others to
help lift us up where we're unable.

He is the head of everything right, true, and proper. It's the only
reason I teach you about Him, and point you His way.

I would imagine that the reason he thinks that is that, when he posts
here, he gets a response. An overwhelmingly negative one, but as far as
he's concerned, that's just as good as a positive response.

[Rick C. Hodgin]

You should investigate why I teach these things, James. You should
not think you know my reasons because you are wrong. You categorize
me as a traditional spammer, someone espousing just to hear himself
talk and get a rise out of other people. It's not like that.

I'm pointing you to Jesus Christ so that you can repent of your sin,
ask forgiveness, and be changed forever. Literally forever.

It is the future I point you. It is to grace and mercy, and love
and life everlasting. It is to all right, true, and proper things.
I do this for your benefit, because all who put their faith and
trust in Jesus Christ will never see corruption or decay, save the
short time they have left in this evil, fallen world.

Please do not post replies to Rick's religious posts. We've already
tried and failed to persuade him to stop. Followups merely add to the
noise. Many of us never see his posts in the first place unless someone
like you quotes them.

If you want to discuss it with him, he posts under a valid e-mail
address.

(I would have e-mailed this response to you if you used a valid address
in your own post.)

Yeah, it seems it's time to just filter him out. Thanks for clarification.

This one is actually easy to answer. There is a fair amount of overlap
between the mentality of C (particularly the type of C mentality embodied
in this newsgroup) and the mentality of religion (esp. Xtianity). It is no
accident that Ricky chooses this group in which to do his preaching.

It has been established and noted many times that most of the old-line
regs in this group do themselves claim to be Xtians, so they are obviously
going to be fertile ground for Ricky's stuff (even if they themselves do
try to deny that fact).

Note that the unquestioned leader of this group (Kiki) has very carefully
avoided making any statements about his own religious belief, but it seems
clear to this author that he probably is some variety of Xtian. His posts
do have that same basic sound and feel to them.

I actually think that is not the correct analysis. I don't think it
matters one whit to Ricky whether or not he gets any response. This makes
him a more maddening troll than the usual kind of Internet troll. Consider
that there are 3 different kinds of trolls:

1) The usual, traditional, kind that feeds on responses/attention.
Note that our Internet-Troll-In-Chief is the modern embodiment of
this type.

2) Those, like Ricky, who are so delusional and so convinced of the
rightness of their cause, that they simply don't care if anyone
pays any attention to them. Essentially, they've evolved (in the
Darwinian sense) themselves past the need for the food of
attention.

3) Paid operatives - such as those that moved the recent US election.
Obviously, these types have no need for feedback. Their
compensation is obviously coming from sources other than newsgroup
feedback/attention.

Kenny, I have one goal in posting these messages. It is to reach those
in my field in interest with the gospel message so they can be saved and
live on in eternity in Heaven with God in literal paradise.

I don't have other reasons for doing it.

This message is given for those who will be saved. It is not for other
people. And all those who can, within their own heart, hear this call
to righteousness, will hear these words and know them to be true, and
they will come out from the world and acknowledge their sin, ask for
forgiveness for their sin, and receive forgiveness from Jesus Christ.

The message is given to those who are being saved, who do seek the
truth, who are not content to hold on to the lie.

I pray you are one of them. You have great value and are an asset to
other people. Your presence in Heaven is desired by God Himself, and
He sends men and women like me into the world to teach and remind you
because there is also an active enemy in this world seeking to draw
you the other way. Because of what Jesus has already done on the
cross, the final fate of your eternity depends upon your choices.
There are no barriers between you and God, except for those you erect
yourself. And make no mistake about it: God WILL honor your choice,
even if your choice sends you to eternal damnation in Hellfire forever.

This teaching and warning is given to you and others so your end will
not be in Hellfire, but will be in Heaven with God prospering in the
richness He has created.

Would you hand the keys of your castle to a bunch of miscreants? Or
would you be more discerning? God has the "richest castle," and He
is also by far the most discerning.

When you stop to consider the true nature of God, His Kingdom, us,
and our lives, it all becomes clear. God is not exaggerated or obtuse,
but is clear and present in all right ways. You just have to be able
and willing to seek the truth to see it.
