Welcome, Soultis!
Is your friend a member of this board? If so, who? Or what context were you referred from?
We always like to hear a bit about new folks, so feel free to expand upon your ever-so-brief introduction.
A few things we like to know:
Do you love Jesus? What sort of church do you attend? What's your favorite version of the King James Bible?
God has brought you to us for a reason, friend. I hope you grow in your knowledge of Him and His Word as a result of your visits to His Favorite Forum!

I thank you for such a warm greeting. As of my friend he is not a part of this board. Probably never will be due to his beliefs and such, but I don't place the full blame on him, the poor child did grow up as a Catholic alter boy. I thank you once again and hope I can live up to the expectations of this board.

Welcome to GOD's Favorite Forum, Soultis! We hope you enjoy your stay here and we all look forward to rejoicing and praising the Lord with you. Do you have a favorite Bible verse you'd like to share with us?
Also, my prayers go out to your Catholic friend. I hope he has recovered from the emotional scars he must have developed during his childhood in the Catholic church. Don't ever give up on his soul! Wouldn't you like to bring him to the Light of Christ?

I truely do, but he refuses every time I ask but I guess I will stay strong to my favorite verse of all from 2 Timothy 4:7
"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith."
I guess that is all I could really ever ask for in the end.

That is an excellent choice of verse, Soultis!
Tell us, how do you fight the good fight? What do you do to raise awareness of Jesus' Love and Forgiveness for All Who Believe?

Greetings in the name of Allah to Mister Soultis.
I too would like to attend the university and finish my course, like Mister Timothy writes.
Do you know what Mister Timothy was studying? I have much doubt about fighting the good fight in these context, however. My teacher did not appreciate the good fight during classroom time. One time he break a thick stick of wood over the head of my brother Saayid for fighting with another fellow.
Now Saayid is what you call village idiot. It is the will of Allah.
I wonder if a teacher hitted Mister Bush over the head when he is at university, and that is why he is USA national idiot? But I have never heard of this happening. Maybe it is hush up by Mister Bush peres.
Allah is great, merciful.

I do various things, but mainly I work with young children in the neighborhood and teach them the word through constant example and even a few little life lessons. I enjoy teaching them about God and what he expects from them and have had few problems with them. In my own way I consider that to be my good fight of faith.

I'm not quite sure what to say given we both have very diverse beliefs but if you have lasted this long without being banned from this board then I cannot really say anything.

...Do I know you? I mean, someone I know goes by Soultis and we both live in Texas... So...um...Sorry if I sound stupid.

Odd. There are very few people who know me by Soultis. Tell me your name. Maybe I can figure out where I may know you from.

I cannot just tell you my name. Then anybody who was to come upon this post would know who I am. I go by Ann if that helps.

Please spend less time trying to "hook up" with each other and more time thinking about Jesus. Once you two are saved, you can marry each other and then, and only then, may you "hook up".
Thank you.

I am not trying to 'hook up', I'm trying to figure out if he is who I think he is, nothing more, nothing less. I'm already spoken for, so I am NOT trying to 'hook up' with anybody.
If I was, I wouldn't be here, would I? The thought makes me shudder. I am here learn and enjoy the company of others who have been saved and believe in Jesus, not act like some cheap heroine from a trashy romance novel as my mother puts it.

Well "Ann," why aren't you off baking pies for your betrothed? And why are you still living with your mother, at your age?

Mister Bush Peres? Are you implying that the Godly President Bush employs a secret team of wily Joos, including the notorious leftist Shimon Peres, to do his dirty work for him? Friend, there is no room for your Islamofascist Arab anti-Semitism on this Godly Board!

Well, it's better than if she had a job.
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

Re: I am Willing to Fight the Good Fight -

That's all I'm hearing, because every time I say something you people always say something back.
Whay am I not making pies for my bethrothed? He doesn't like them. I'm not living with my mother, either, I just remember her, ESPECIALLY on the anneversary of the day she gave birth to me.
You know, you guys really just act like a bunch of over-grown kids in Sunday School. I'm am trying my best to keep my temper in check, but the more I am provoked, the less likely that is to happen.
And for anything else about me, ask Soultis. I'm sure we know EXACTLY who each other is. If not, then oh well. We're MERELY HUMAN! So quit acting like you're not, and that you're better than me. Looking upon actions that have been taken against me, I can see who is going where, and it's not a pretty picture for any of us.
And honestly, shouldn't you people be nicer to people like me? And of course, there's this whole 'Unsaved Trash - Under Investigation' thing. Who are you to say I'm not Saved? And how are you to investigate me? I'm still in horrid pink, while others move on to the pretty green color! Though now, you'll probably say I'm being rude and disrespectful and find some excuse to ban me. If you do, then you just prove every single thing I've said in this post to be true. So please, be good, Godly Christian men and women -- TRUE Christian men and women -- and act close to your own age.
And as for work, yes I do work. I have to, or else bills wouldn't get paid. Money doesn't come out of nowhere, and since someone can't get a job anywhere (or rather, my BETHROTHED can't), someone has to. It's a nice, easy job working at the school library. Nothing wrong with that. It keeps me entertained as I can look up stuff on here and in the books about God and His Greatness, and yet, I get paid to do it.
Okay, because I lost track of my thoughts along the way, I'll close now.
And Soultis, I know you know who I am -- I saw you on the computer last night. So please, tell them who I am so they don't think I'm some tramp or something like they already do.
Matthew 5:44 -- But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you.

Oh dear. In a way I feel as though I sort of caused this. I didn't think you had joined this board Ann! And to everyone else who has seen the past couple of posts this is my fiancee. I really wish you wouldn't get so angry at these people though. Anger is not the best way of dealing with things you know.

Goodness, Cecily! You DO need to pay a bit more attention to what's going on around you.
You were promoted by our Pastors to True Christian yesterday, well before your little hissy fit.
A child in Sunday School, indeed!

Really? My goodness... I guess I really do need to sit down and have a chat with you Ann... This poor introduction just went kapoot when Sister Mary Maria accused you of hooking up with me. >.< I am so sorry.
