An Introduction

[kussarojam]

Hi. I'm kasmsarojam, or rather, that's the alias I've chosen to use on this forum. I took a quick glance at some of the other threads, and you don't seem to be the biggest fans of aliases, so you can call me Ben. I'd rather not disclose anything else, but an administrator can easily check my age themselves if they're curious. I haven't done any worshipping since before I can remember, and the holiest thing I've done in the past 13 years (before signing up for this forum, of course) is watch a baseball game. Though, it was a Red Sox game, and I noticed that you're not fond of that team for whatever reason. Those reasons are probably why I still haven't started believing in your God and praising Jesus Christ, though, my favorite bible quote out of the ones I went and bothered to find is in my signature. I've always hated my father.

I'm rather interested in your backwards way of thinking, and just how badly you've been deluding yourselves. It's rather amusing to see, especially this mentality going on that being a woman, disabled, black, lgbt+, or whatever other groups you decide you don't like are a choice. Woman can of course, transition to men by becoming transgender if they feel that fits them, but you seem to hate those people even MORE intensely. God has no loopholes, I see.

In my spare time, I usually either play video games, or use the Internet. Does your God say anything about those, I wonder...?

Have a nice day.

Dear friend:

What matters is not our way of thinking, but God's way of thinking, as He has revealed it to us in the King James Bible. If we're wrong about anything, prove us wrong, using Scripture.

Have a blessed day.

Yes, but you realize you don't have to believe in God's way, don't you? You chose yourself that you'd believe in a God that would send you to hell for being born a certain way, or living in a certain place. You could easily free yourself by deciding to believe in something else, deciding that maybe, just maybe, the laws of the world wouldn't reasonably be that awful. But no, you have to believe that God is probably an asshole and go on your twisted journey to try and "free" everyone from his supposed wrath with excessive, unnecessary hatred.

I'm not sure if you realize this, but to everyone else, this forum looks like a bunch of idiots. The only reason I even know of this place is because I found a blog post making fun of it.

And, thank you. You too.

Dear Friend,

Of course no-one has to believe in Jesus. Of course we have chosen to do so. You should also ask "why"? The answer in obvious.

Matthew 6:20
But lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Dear Friend,

We also know that our lot in life is ridicule and persecution. God has explained all this to us in detail:

Matthew 5:12
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in Heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

The more we are persecuted, the better our future will be in the eternal Bliss of Heaven with Jesus. Yes, it is a choice. You can make the same choice. Jesus is calling you!




It is going to be so nice in heaven. I can't wait!


Yours in Christ,

Elmer

Dear friend,

I don't think you understand what I'm trying to say.
You only have to follow God's words because you have chosen to believe that Heaven and Hell exist. You could just switch to some other religion, some other philosophy to follow that's less harmful to people, and still get the same sense of gratification and false sense of accomplishment without making people feel like dirt all the time. Or, you could just not follow one at all and not have to worry about it. You can decide what the truth is, so why make it a bad one?

Consider for a moment that the KJV Bible doesn't have all the answers in it. Consider that maybe it's wrong, and you don't have to do all that. What then?

Sure, heaven is theoretically a nice place. You have to do so much to get there, after all. But...:
"Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven."

Sincerely,
Ben

Re: An Introduction

Oh, you're looking for proof! There is lots of evidence for the accuracy of the Bible and, consequently, for the truth value™ of True Christianity™.

Of course, we have the Bible! The Bible tells us it can be trusted.

Psalms 12:6
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

The verse above tells us that we can rely on the Word of God, the Bible. Unfortunately, this is not enough for many sinners. They require extra-Biblical evidence. While I personally think that it is unnecessary, I have here for you some items to consider:

1. Eyewitness testimony. There are the words of those people who actually lived and witnessed the events during Biblical times. Furthermore, lots of archeological evidence supports the Bible. For instance, there are descriptions of cities that have been confirmed with archeology. See also Genesis 10:11.

2. There is the testimony of us True Christians™. Our lives have been changed and these wonderful, awesome changes are consistent with SCRIPTURE! See also Luke 1:47.

3. Look at the prophecies in the Bible. They HAVE BEEN FULFILLED!! Daniel Chapter 2 predicted the Roman empire and much more. For reference, see Daniel 2:34.

4. There is a unique and miraculously consistent nature of manuscripts of the Bible during a time when there was only illiteracy, unreliable greedy scribes and slow methods of communication. See also Psalms 12:6.

5. There is a prerequisite of God for secular logic and science. In science, the satanic concept of evolution embraced by atheists, catholics and false Christians gives absolutely no possibility of a mind that could be trusted at all. How could quantum fluctuations in the alleged space-time produce a mind that could RELIABLY examine anything?! If evolution were true, we would not be able to trust anything. The same for human, mundane logic. See also Ruth 2:12.

Re: An Introduction

You can't just choose your view of reality like you can choose your sexuality. The Bible talks at length about God and what God wants. There is nothing strange about following God's Word. That is why America is God's favorite country. God made sure to dictate the Bible (like a boss to a secretary) in easy to read form.

Maybe you didn't get the Memo?

You could just switch to some other religion...

That's an utterly self-centered thing to say. Just because you do not acknowledge reality for what it is doesn't mean that we have to just imagine another one. Reality cannot be changed and God is part of that reality. Or, if you will, reality is part of God.

Not really, no. I could care less about the straws you grab on to to convince yourself that your God is the only real God, and that everyone else's is illegitimate. There's also “proof” that The Doctor from a Science Fiction series is real, (http://whatculture.com/tv/10-things-...ally-exist.php) but that doesn't mean that just because of these ten things I'm going to start believing that robots will try to enslave the human race and that by the year 5,000,000,053, Earth will have imploded and there will be a city called New New York built in space.

1. Source? I don't mean the biblical source, since you guys appear to be at least decent at that, but the Internet source where I can see all of this apparent archeological proof.

2.Of course it did. Deluding yourself into a religious lifestyle will do that to you. (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-deception)

3. “Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out ||fwithout hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and gbrake them to pieces.”
What am I supposed to be getting from this, exactly? I'm confused on how those two things are related.

4. “The words of the Lord are pure words:
As silver gtried in a furnace of earth, hpurified iseven times.”
There's a miraculously consistent nature about how everything is about God? Gee, yeah. Wonder why.
I apologize, but I'm not seeing the point you're trying to make here.

5. When did I say anything about science? I agree with you, not everything in the universe can be figured out by making up equations and solving them. However, a good portion of it isn't just creating a theory and saying that it's true, they try and prove it with multiple experiments before deciding that it's the truth, rather than in religion where if you claim that God's talking to you and scream it in the streets, and/or have it written down in your Holy Book, it's suddenly The Truth, making one a bit more credible than the other.

Also, this statement is incredibly contradictory. "All science requires God as a prerequisite, but damn, that SATANIC concept of evolution..."

Sincerely,

Ben

That's an utterly self-centered thing to say. Just because you do not acknowledge reality for what it is doesn't mean that we have to just imagine another one. Reality cannot be changed and God is part of that reality. Or, if you will, reality is part of God.

Except that you can. Actually, it would probably be easier to change religions than sexualities for most people if another became suitable, depending on how spiritual you are and what religion you're following. You guys, however, might be a lost cause, since you appear to have believed in the same thing for a long, long time, maybe even your entire lives. Hard to reconfigure mental programming that goes that deep.

You simply just stop believing in one thing, and start believing in another. It's that easy to free yourselves from the ties of God. He only has power over you when you believe in that power.

I like how you call me arrogant after you ask me "Did you not get the memo? ". This was exactly the True Christian™ experience I came here for, keep up the wonderful work.

That's what you believe. You've tied God down to every aspect of your life, even your sense of reality, which is a bit sad. And boring. Why live like that when there's so many other religions to choose from?

A Small Question

Since, you know, I'm most likely permanently Unsaved Trash, or will be within a few days, and can't start forums anywhere else.

Are other things besides bible quotes allowed in my signature? I want to keep the quote I have now, of course, but if I add something else to it, I won't get an infraction, right?

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

Re: A Small Question

I think it is right to say that a signature represents the purity of the soul, advice to the fallen and/or an inspiration from Jesus. I'm sure your attempt will reflect one of these.

Re: An Introduction

boring

Where do you get the completely idiotic idea that living as a True Christian(tm) is boring!? The Bible beats anything Disney every produced tenfold in entertainment value.

Disney's Avengers are no match for Jeremiah 51:1-58 and Disney's frozen doesn't stand a chance against Ezekiel 23:20.
