Hey Everybody -
04-14-2015, 09:39 PM
Hey everybody, welcome to the virtual fire that I have started. Come, warm yourself while I tell about myself.
I'm a teen, though I'm not telling how old. I love Christ, Tolkien, reading, writing, my priest, the Church, and my family.
Bellethiel is a translation into Sindarin of my English name, you can find it on demonnames.com
I am an inquirer-soon-to-become-catechumen in the Orthodox Church, and the parish that I currently go to is called Holy Trinity.
The main reason that I'm here was I was looking up something related to Harry Potter, ran across a thread here, saw someone citing the Bible as a creditable source, and couldn't just sit there and say nothing. I mean seriously, it's the Bible.
So I guess that's it. Hi everybody, and Happy Pascha!
Christ is Risen!

Tell me friend, you seem to like so many things in life, why don't you want to be a Christian? Is it because you want to be 'asexualistic' and just want someone to listen? Jesus is there, waiting at the foot of your bed, ready to envelope you in His powerful arms and hold you to His majestic Bosom.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Re: Hey Everybody -

Okay then. So someone though it'd be a good idea to go and edit what I had last said. If this happens again, then I give up. I believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16), and the most reputable source in the universe. In the above post, I was referring to the Onion, a satire site, and someone changed 'onion' to 'Bible', for some reason that I'm sure made perfect sense to them.
Also, 'Sindarin' is a language made up by Professor Tolkien, himself a Christian. I got it off of a fan site, not 'demonnames.com'.
So apparently I'm now an 'obese teenage witch'. Huh? I can kinda see where they might possibly get the 'witch' from, and I did say that I was a teen, but 'obese'? How is that even an insult? And I also happen to be rather skinny for my age...
James Hutchins: I'm actually not sure what 'asexualistic' means, but from it's usage it appears to have a negative connotation. I DO want to be a Christian, and I have already accepted Christ, whoever moderated my comment twisted my words. I love the Bible, I was speaking of something completely different. I have to say though, your last sentence was absolutely beautiful.
Alvin Moss: I was using poetic language when referring to a fire, attempting to create a relaxing image in the mind, the same way any good author does. Even Luke does so in the Acts of the Apostles. A priest is like a pastor. In fact, the priest of my parish is referred to as the pastor of the parish. The Orthodox Church is, well, the Orthodox church. It's a little hard to explain on a forum. If you're curious, I'd look up the OCA website. Also, I have been seeking Jesus since I was old enough to understand what my parents were saying (around 3yo)
Christ is Risen!

Why do you want a demon name? I mean, I have the name of a saint. (Basilissa of Nicomedia). She was a pretty crappy saint, but at least it's better than name of a demon!

Sorry to disappoint you, but our Easter was over a week ago. You may thank idiot Romans who weren't able to count how many days there were in a year. And the stubbornness of Orthodox churches which decided not to switch to the more accurate Gregorian calendar.
Indeed He is.

Now that you say it, I really should have gone with a saint. I guess I'm just so used to using 'Bellethiel' that I did it out of habit. I looked her up - St. Basilissa was an admirable woman. Once again, Bellethiel is not the name of a demon, it simply means 'strong maiden' - a translation of my English name - in a real language created by a Christian for his book series, based on the language of Old English.

It is the only truly credible source of all information. Someone twisted my words, I was referring to the satire site called the Onion.

I know it was, but my parish follows the Orthodox calendar for Pascha. Not my decision, and it would be a lot easier if it was on the Gregorian calendar. At least it is for the rest of the year, like Christmas (Nativity).
Indeed He is.

It's a proven fact that witches always get fat and ugly. It's not an insult dear, but you might wish to turn away from sin before you become an Old Maid, unable to serve Christ through childbirth, due humility and unconditional obedience (1 Timothy 2:14-15).
I hope that helps, and welcome to our friendly forum!
Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

Thanks! I was starting to get very confused. Everyone here seemed to be the 'burn in hell' kind of Christians, and I was beginning to get discouraged. Thank you for being encouraging!
I assure you, I have no intention becoming an 'Old Maid', and I certainly want to have children - I definitely have had a lot of practice with my four younger brothers! Though, if the man that God intends for me never comes along, then I won't get married, and therefore won't have children. I pray daily that will never happen.
Christ is Risen!

Well that is just disgusting. Even in my darkest years as a smack shooting Goetic mage I never "played house" with my own siblings. And not an ounce of remorse.

I meant that I had plenty of practice caring for children. Changing diapers, feeding (with a spoon, obviously), dressing, etc.

There is so much more to training babies up than to get them off their addiction to diapers. Perhaps you'd like to share some of your tips and techniques in this thread, seeing how you're such an expert, being a sister and all.

And I would heed to Mr. Jenkins' warning, and stop practicing "playing house" with your siblings. That's repulsive, even for a pagan.

I'll reiterate. I'm not playing house. I'm doing my part as a member of my family, which also includes such things as light disciplining. (I am a sister, though, not a parent, so I'll leave the heavy spankings to Mom and Dad. )
Though I have to ask. What is so very wrong with playing house? Almost every Christian resource and catalog that I have seen advocates it, especially Beautiful Girlhood. I loved playing 'mommy' to my dolls - when I was around six, of course.

Be wary of false Kumbaya Christians who use a highlighter and scissors to read the Bible. God wants us to read the lines, not between the lines. False Christians will go to Hell:
Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Asking a Christian to prove God exists is like asking him to prove his phone rings because yours doesn't. Make that call yourself! Dial 0800-get-on-your-knees-and-pray.

Poetic language is Biblical language, we study Isaiah in my Christian poetry class. And honestly, is there anything wrong with making everything that you write beautiful for the glory of God the Father?

That's about all I need. The orthodox "church" is not Christian.
Leviticus 26:1 KJV
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

Can you spot the difference?

So you prefer to ignore the parts of the Holy Bible you don't like? Why do you think God added those to the Bible? For you to ignore? Because you know better than God?
" But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." (Revelation 21:8)
" And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:14-15)
Freedom means voting for Donald Trump!
To most "Christians" The Bible is like a license agreement. They just scroll to the bottom and click "I agree". All those "Christians" will burn in Hell!
James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."

Yes, but you'll notice that we're not the ones doing the casting. That's God's job, and I'm not about to presume to take it. I was mainly referring to the thread where a bunch of people were telling some poor guy that he was going to burn in hell because his Mum was black, and then the other thread where someone was basically saying that if you even touch a Harry Potter book, except to toss it in a bonfire, then you're going to burn in hell. Sure, like in the above verse, sorcerers are bad, BUT if a book falls off the shelf, then you're being a good neighbor to the bookstore or library by replacing it where it belongs (not in a fire).
And also, there are a bunch of verses saying that 'you are called to love on another just as Christ loved you'. I remember the verse, but not the reference. It's in one of Paul's letters, I think. Probably Philippians. No one can deny that Christ loved us very, very much.
