Re: Convert me.

Hah! Yeah, I'm waiting for them to try to convert me. Truth is, all they've done is belittle and mock me. Quite Christlike, huh?

Hey! Landover! Haven't you heard? You catch more flies with honey than vinegar!

Because the truth is harsh. We use great plainness of speech, and will not beat around the bush when it comes to someone's eternal soul. Watch out for those people who tell you that it's okay to be gay - they'll take you to hell with them.
It has been said "honey draws more flies than does vinegar." This really isn't a Biblical concept. The Bible teaches the exact opposite. For example, Jude says "Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference, And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh." Furthermore, you should carefully examine all of the preachers (including Jesus) in the Bible. On some, they had compassion. On others, they preached fear. It is our duty to make a difference.

You have done nothing but come here and try to push your demented views on others, and justify your deviant lifestyle. Several members have tried to reach out to you, yet you still respond with the same defiance. "Ha! Yeah I'm still waiting....". Yet in the next sentence you cry because we're picking on poor little you. Lastly, who in there right mind wants to CATCH flies? They're just good for swatting.

Re: Convert me.

Dearest Mr. Russell;

Perhaps you are familiar with the Amazon Women. They kept men as just sex partners, the women were the warriors, and town leaders.

Perhaps you are familiar with Lesbian couples, who only use men as sperm donors, for when they want to have offspring (think of the secular tv show Friends).

Dear friend, discrimination is not archaic. All you have to do is look at the previous U.S. presidential election. Even though a black man won, how many people said they would never vote for a black man. How many people said they would never vote for a woman? How many black people voted for Obama, solely because he's black? Discrimination is not archaic, it's modern.

As to the "all loving" God question. Do you have kids? Do you always love your kids? Do you love your kids when they misbehave? Of course you would/do. Do the children still need to be punished when they misbehave? Of course they would/do. God is the same way. We are HIS children. When we misbehave (by breaking his 613 laws) we deserve punishment. Most of the time, we are forgiven of our sins, but you really have to want to be redeemed. Do you REALLY want to be redeemed?

In order to REALLY be forgiven of your sins you have to not want to do them anymore.

Most "MODERN" people, don't believe that what they are doing is wrong. Are you this way? You probably don't believe that you are committing sins. You might think to yourself, "I'm a good person". Well friend, you might be a decent person, but you still break God's laws. Heck, just saying you don't break God's law, is breaking the law. And for that, you must be reprimanded, punished.

God will forgive you, but only if you realize that what you are doing is wrong, and ONLY if you decide to change your ways.

Do you want forgiveness? Or do you want God to conform around you?

Re: Convert me.

Oh, your arguments are all so flawed. Do you want a passage? I'll give you perhaps the most famous one of all:

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only son, that whoever believes in him, shall not perish but have eternal life.

Of course he damns the wicked, but if you read the Bible at all, he does NOT go to all the sinners who have approached him looking to be saved calling them "unsaved trash", no, he actually saves them. He does not damn them at all. When he was being crucified, one of the other criminals which was being crucified with him asked Jesus for salvation, Jesus did not call him "unsaved trash", now did he? Sounds pretty loving to me.

As usual with you false Christians, you misconstrue what that Scripture means.

Jesus DID NOT die for everyone

He died for those that BELIEVE.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16

Everyone doesn't believe in Jesus, thus they will perish.

Re: Convert me.

What a great way to invite someone to christiannity right? Insult him! Why didn't I think of that? =O GASP

This forum really makes me laugh. I just realized, if Jesus damns hypocrites, then I'm guessing that 90% of this forum is damned. Allow me to prove my point.

Jesus loves everyone, EVERYONE. Meaning homosexuals, HIV +, AIDS carryers, unsaved people, and even some of you people. Saying Unsaved Not Welcome is just like sorting out black people from white people. Same prejudice in a different skin. If you really want a church to increase, you should welcome EVERYONE, not just already saved people. This church is like the corrupt priests back in Jesus's day. They only cared about what people thought of them, nothing else. People here seem to be kind to fellow "christians", and being kind to everyone might actually be more benificial.

Jesus hates quite a lot of people, actually. The majority of people.

John 3:36He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Psalms 5: 5The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.


Psalms 11: 5The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

Leviticus 20:23And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

Hosea 9:15All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.

Deuteronomy 32:41If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.

Malachi 2:16For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.

Hebrews 1:9Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Revelation 2:6But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

Ezekiel 25:14And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.

Nahum 1:2God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.

Romans 1: 18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Revelation 19:15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

Re: Convert me.

"The Lord is righteous in all His ways and loving toward all He has made." Psalm 145:17, NIV

This is what happens when you read a False Bible. Interestingly enough, the link you, yourself provided shows it in the True KJV Bible.

By the way, what does verse 20 say, exactly?

Psalm 145

1 I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.

6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.

7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.

8 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.

9 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

10 All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee.

11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;

12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.

13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

14 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.

16 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.

20 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.

21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

If you read just a little bit further down the thread you'd see I was joking with him and welcoming him.

Where is your Scripture to back up that empty argument? If Jesus loves EVERYONE, like you say, why would He damn those who do not accept him to Hell for all eternity? Not very loving, is it?

As for welcoming all these unsaved trash, we are commanded to keep ourselves seperate from Non-Christians, as Paul tells us.

We follow the Bible 100% word for word. We are not hypocrites. You are the hypocrite.

LOL, I'm just playing with you! Welcome to the board, Mr. Russell.

Interest in ancient cultures is a good thing. But you know what the most exciting and ancient culture to learn about is? The Jewish people. Read up all you want about it in the Bible, which is 100% historically accurate.

Hopefully in time you will join your future brothers and sisters here in the bosoms of Our Lord.

Re: Convert me.

Oh please, get out of here. This is the LAST place you want explaining christianity to you. Beating wives? I could not read the rest of your post after seeing that. Go to a local church.

No, YOU are the Fool. For the last time, Landover Baptist Church does not beat their wives. We are just subject to a viscious internet rumor that we do. We are conservative Christian men that discipline our wives when they step out of line, but that's it. No one here's an OJ.
