People these days just SETTLE for a status quo relationship with God.

    I say, if you want to be in Heaven, earn it!
    Praise! Well-said!

    Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
    14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.



    Revelation 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
    16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

    Friend, at Landover we care deeply about welcoming newcomers into the Love of Christ. Unless they're accursed God-mockers or filthy Catholic swine or something like that.

    Interesting. Our Pastor Billy-Reuben is a native of North Carolina.

    Sorry for any offence caused, but we have had an invasion of Wii-fanatics barging into our forums to attack Christ lately, so we have to be on our guard.

    That quote is a vicious lie. As the Bible makes perfectly clear, God does indeed punish people for living too near the unrighteous. Perhaps you should ask the citizens of New Orleans whether their neighbours' unbelief hurt them.

    Friend, just because the poor man's a Belgian, there's no need to be patronising. Well, not that patronising, anyway.

    Good point. If we keep on allowing Democrats and feeble-headed women to sissify our children and feed them soy, we'll end up with a generation of emo fags on our hands, and how will we win the War on Terror then? I like the cut of your jib.


    Same to you.
    Someone who did not regard me with contempt! Many thanks for the apologies Brother Temperance, but it was not yourself that offended me and so you should not feel down on that which you did not do.

    And now that I think about it. My original post was not so much a literal and purposeful statement or question. Well, it was not so meaningful as to actually question the sincerity of your beliefs or anything like that, moreover, it was a mechanism I designed to allow me an introduction with optimized results within the forum.

    I apologize for putting anyone on edge, rereading my post I did sound a little foolhardy and pretentious. But I'll make these statements again.

    I do not play video games.
    I am employed with what I view to be noble work.
    I have noble intentions within these forums.
    I do read, I do converse and I do think.
    I feel no negative feelings towards anyone who's thus far made my acquaintance here, despite being mocked and ridiculed, while at the same time assumptions are being made about my character.

    This statement I will make for the first time:

    I do admire the lack of timidity in your following of your beliefs and it is in a sense very brave of you seeing as that, I don't know an exact figure but I'll guess somewhere at 99.99% of people on earth are not at equals with you.

    I don't see a problem with it. What problem do you see?
    Then. as a first response, I came upon this post which I am having trouble with as I do not want to take the time to find Pastor Lary Lee's alleged statement so I was thinking someone might shine some light on this for me, help me out a little? Any aid will be much appreciated. Post by Bobby-Joe:


    Now, is there an underlying tone to this message that I'm not picking up? Should I just take it at face value? HELP!

Not many forums which I have been a part of have any meaningful people who daily check to see if newcomers have made it as far as introducing themselves. For the most part, they don't care.

    Deaner, my dear friend. Useless layabout is quite the absurd comment to make seeing as that you know nothing of me, if you've read my profile then you know I am employed. However, I am not employed in the same likes as the individuals who moderate and administrate this forum, for I live in North Carolina and in my little corner there is not such a church as theirs.

    No, I do not teach Wii. In my beliefs, the Wii is a tool which was created for human beings to use and acquire a feeling as to what it would be like to be an animal. The primitive swinging of arms and lashing out of hope that you'll score the killing blow and win. That's not for me and it's offensive that so many people would presume so.

    Thank you for the compliment on my signature. Did you understand it? If not I'm sure you would have said otherwise, so for those who don't understand it, ASK. I have no problem conveying knowledge. Also, I can do nothing about the length, wordiness or dialect of the time seeing as it is a direct quote from Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia (1782).
    That quote is a vicious lie. As the Bible makes perfectly clear, God does indeed punish people for living too near the unrighteous. Perhaps you should ask the citizens of New Orleans whether their neighbours' unbelief hurt them.
    Also, as I have stated, I do not live in Wisconsin, but I will admit it was a clever pun. Wiisconsin. Hilarious, I actually laughed.
    Friend, just because the poor man's a Belgian, there's no need to be patronising. Well, not that patronising, anyway.
    Also, I would like to make it known that I am employed as a Kindergarten teacher. Call it whatever you want but it's the only job I could find where my pay was correctly proportioned to the women around me. Higher on the grounds that children these days are lacking in good male role models like I myself had growing up.

    Since I was hit with a barrage of replies most of which took a negative and unfamiliar tone with me, I am going to only respond to those which caught my attention, such as that I have quoted.

    I would also like to know where it is from that people have made the deduction that I play Wii or any video game for that matter. I do not.
    Now, I can help those who are ignorant but those without a desire to learn, those who would rather put words in my mouth or make assumptions about my character, this is stupidity and that can not be helped. I am a firm believer that once a person has learned his or her ways that there is no undoing them, it is only human nature.

    That's enough for now, I think I've covered everything. If I missed you I might double-post or catch up with it later. I'm sure there will be more cynicism and speculation headed my way, offering me a chance to reply and rebuttal.

    Well, I realize that I made a typographical error in the first line nonetheless.
    I did not mean to defend anyone.
    It should be rather obvious that I meant offend, however since I noticed it I thought I might correct myself and save the critics the trouble.

    Again; Good morning and God bless!

    What do you teach, Wii?

    Also, your sig is nice, but it's a little long and there are too many words to really understand what it means.

    Instead of barging into our Godly forum and demanding that we listen to your confusing and imperfect litany of our faults, why not make a thread in the "introductions" section and tell us about yourself.

    Which false church do you attend? Which sheltered workshop do you teach at? For example.
