Re: On this day I'm thankful for JESUS

One of the most saddening things is seeing people who think they're praying but doing so in the wrong way, grovelling before an idol or putting their own wishes before the Will Of God.

Luke 22:41-42 [Jesus] was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

Jesus did not want to be whipped, dragged up a hill and tortured to death. He mentioned this in His prayer but it was by far the less important criterion. Having suffered so much, I remember, how is He going to feel when a prayer arrives offered to an idol or using a form of words neglecting God's will altogether? He wants to help but if He did (respond to a prayer addressed to a 14-armed goblin) what sort of signal would that send? Maybe prayers to temple prostitutes would become fashionable (most goblin temples have those) and who knows what other abominations.

So it makes me sad, knowing how vile such wretches are in God's eyes, seeing their futile prayer attempts offered in good faith (according to their lights) yet certain to go unanswered.

What's needed is more funding for Christian education to replace thinking and coming up with new ideas in a spiritual vacuum.

I think if everyone could commit to being hardcore for Jesus, then maybe He might show up more often. He - or at least His proxy on earth - senior management - are always on the lookout for passionate believers to sustain the Lord's Mission or at least fetch coffee and pad the audience.

Re: On this day I'm thankful for JESUS

So often when false religions commend education, the folly of their false beliefs are exposed in a secular environment to the pupils sent away. Falsehood is never replaced with The Truth in such dreadful places but with nothing. What's needed is more funding for Christian education to replace thinking and coming up with new ideas in a spiritual vacuum.

One place where thinking could be an advantage, though, is within the dilemma facing the heathen Romeo. He seems to know that Rome's dogma is facing a challenge but can't bring himself to assess the reasons why. If he did that, The Truth would be apparent to him. Perhaps I'll invite him along to a service to hear Pastor's message on the subject.

God bless us, every one. I'm thankful for myself and the rest of us who are still active users in this forum. Bless you Mayor Hold, and also Dr. Toole, brother Dnow, Sisters Mitza, Joanna, Basilissa, Mary, and handmaiden, Pastor Ezekiel, the other Pastor Ezekiel (Bathfire), Prayer Warrior, Professor White, Faith Machine, heathen Romeo, atheist Didymus, and anyone else I may be forgetting.

No God Bless you Mr. Lukes. Were it not for our efforts the atheist horde would have overtaken this forum by niw and made it impossible. Every person we send away, hopefully never to return, with our sanctimonious virtue - is just another thorn in Jesus' crown. Their rejection hurts Him only that He may not save them. The poor people will miss out on all His oratory.

Re: On this day I'm thankful for JESUS

Goodness gracious sister, why ever did your parents send you to a lesbian institution? The whole point of sending a daughter to college was to get her married if she was already an old maid you couldn't find a suitor for by the time she was 18. How could you ever hope to find a husband there? Were your parents imbeciles?

My college days were in the "Before" time. Before I encountered Landover Baptist Church and learned the difference between a deluded pretend Christian and a True Christian™.

Looking back, I am so grateful the Jesus led me through those dangerous years before I even understood what total commitment to God and His Holy Word meant. I was surrounded by lesbians and one or two even tried to "chat me up" as the Brits say. One of the young women trying to flirt with me would have been the cutest boy that I had ever known if The Lord had seen fit to bless her with a tallywacker.

All of that education could have led me completely astray, but Jesus knew that the high standards of grammar instilled in me at that institution could be used for His Glory. So, despite the best efforts of the most lesbian college known throughout the four corners of the earth, I remained straight and charmingly feminine.

And now I use my excruciatingly correct grammar, extensive vocabulary and scholar's insight to rip apart the weak, inconsistent arguments brought forth by snarky little challengers to the Biblical truths that we present here at .

Over the years, I have occasionally felt sorry for some of the fools who think that they can come here and best us in Biblical discussions. But, then I remember that Jesus wants me to be as fierce as a lesbian towards non-believers while remaining as soft and sweet as a marshmallow towards my True Christian™ Brethren. Truly, He had a plan for me even back in my heathen college days.

P.S. To answer your final question--my parents were Catholic. So, yes, they were imbeciles.

We are all thankful Sister Handy made it through that close call with evil forces from the other side. Were it not for her strong faith who knows if we would be blessed by her presence here at Landover Baptist.

Re: On this day I'm thankful for JESUS

White colonists came along just in time. Natives were under the spell of those with "Two Spirits." These were Satanic trans people who claimed some spiritual gift and used it against their own tribal members.

When he Bible finally arrived and condemned these homers, things were a lot better for natives.

I went to college with a "Two-Spirit". Why they let her-m into a woman's college I do not know. During finals week, when everyone was shuffling along in flannel pajamas and unkempt hair, sh-im sported five o'clock shadow.

Re: On this day I'm thankful for JESUS

The invasion of the Americas by European Christians and the wholesale destruction of Injun civilizations, along with the death of the vast majority of their people, was bar none the best thing that ever happened to them. If it hadn't happened, how would any of them have ever heard the gospel and had the chance to accept Jesus? Yes they lost everything else, but they gained the possibility of salvation.

Re: On this day I'm thankful for JESUS

The red man must have wondered WTF whiteboy was doing when he knelt down in front of them speaking in tongues. You can see the possibility for misunderstanding, to be fair. Well anyway, the rest is history and they know now. Thanksgiving is a time for prayer.

Re: On this day I'm thankful for JESUS

Do they really believe there was no prayer at the original Thanksgiving? No attempt to teach the Red Injuns about salvation and sin?

Re: On this day I'm thankful for JESUS

On a day to honor Jesus, let's remember Jesus condemns sinners. We should honor him by not holding homer Thanksgiving celebrations. Would it really hurt any homer to just leave it be for one day?

Re: On this day I'm thankful for JESUS

How many folks have forgotten the place of Christ Jesus in all this? Without religious persecution in Europe and a merciful escape would there even be a Christian America?

Exactly. Who do the atheists think the Pilgrims were giving thanks TO? Do they really believe there was no prayer at the original Thanksgiving? No attempt to teach the Red Injuns about salvation and sin? Thanksgiving is a Christian holiday and always has been. It's not about turkey it's about Jesus.
