The on-going joke around here is that I am a troll, leftover from the olden times, ready to pounce on any unsuspecting child and tickle them until they cry for mercy.
Those days are over. Trolls stink.

They are creepy, mean, and spiritually dark.
Trolls that comment on articles of a spiritual nature are also creepy, mean and spiritually dark. Have you noticed?
Today there is news that a popular Christian artist thinks gay marriage is okay. There was also news of a well known Christian church slipping into unbiblical territory, making excuses for it and leaving the fold of orthodoxy.
It's happened before.
It is these very things that have clearly defined my own faith, and my own interpretation of the Bible. I've talked a lot about idolatry this past year.
Idolatry is rampant right now. Making up a god that we like, or one that winks at sin seems to be the most popular thing to do these days.
Satan has many demons/trolls arguing with well-meaning believers about clear Biblical standards regarding sex and sin.
So how should a believer respond? First of all, lovingly. We are always called to love. Secondly, state what Scripture states. Quote a verse. You needn't provide a treatise! Simply back up your position with the Word of God. Thirdly, "Shake the dust from your feet." Remember this little caveat in the New Testament? The Lord doesn't want us to argue, and arguing never works. If the spirit doesn't respond to Scripture and Godly reason, that is not our problem!
Yes, we grieve over those who don't accept Christ, the Christ of the Bible, but the Lord grieves more, and He doesn't force anyone to accept Him. It is a decision each person has to make.
The Lord says to leave it alone. Shake off that dust. Go on. Leave.
We are given a picture of running TO Christ, and we know Christ through His Word. How else are we going to learn of Him?
When you look for revelation contrary to Scripture you have crossed over into idolatry. There are warnings and danger signs throughout Scripture concerning this.
That someone refuses to believe TRUTH from the Word of God is really not YOUR problem. It is THEIR problem. You, dear believer, brother or sister in Christ, are called to serve HIM. HE commands US to LOVE.
There is the circle and mission of our lives. Love. Proclaim. Serve. Give. Help. Teach. Shine.
Let the dead bury the dead. Those who justify sin and think they are "good enough" to get to heaven will have a sad awakening in eternity.
True belief loves God.
Lots of demons out there. They are masking as trolls. Let the trolls be. God can deal with trolls...
