Welcome Brother.

Voices speaking to you are of the Devil. You must rebuke Lucifer and accept Jesus as your savior. Do not be fooled by Satan's crafty work. Pray that Jesus will forgive you of your sins and accept the wretch that you are.

Cant i just pay a small fee or something ?
The bible seems like a pretty long thing to read, and also pretty boring

Most fathers seem to love money, what if i just donate $40 to the church?

Re: Accepting Jesus

Donating is always welcome! Actually donating $40 (or preferably more) to Landover Baptist Church shows Jesus are genuinely interested in receiving him and you come with honest intent. Donate as much as you can preferably. How much do you make a month? How is your credit? Can you take out a loan?

Here is a sinner's prayer, courtesy of Brother Heathen Basher. Read this prayer out loud. When you say the words, be sincere!

Dear Lord Jesus,

I know that I am worthless. I know I am completely pathetic and miserable, dirty, evil, sinful, disgusting. I am the lowest of lows. I am a worm. Less than a worm. I don't even deserve to live. In short, I am exactly as you have created me. Dear wonderful, perfect God, I beg you for forgiveness for having been born imperfectly. I beg and plead down on my knees that I not be sent into a fire to be tormented and tortured forever and ever and ever because a distant ancestor of mine ate the wrong fruit. I ask You, who are perfect in mercy, to please try to find some way of receiving me into Your Eternal Kingdom even though I have disgraced You by not worshiping and adoring you up till now. So I ask that you pour the blood of Your only Son who is Yourself and died temporarily on the cross for me. I understand that this is the only way You could ever forgive me, oh Divine Master. I accept You as my personal savior, from now on I'll do absolutely everything you tell me to do. I'll follow the rules of the Bible to the letter and never sin again. I pray this in the name of You and of Your Father, and of the Holy Spirit who conceived You and is also You. Amen.

The Bible is not boring! Young man, you'll have to pay more than "a small fee" now, for saying such a terrible thing about God's Own Book.

Make that Love Offering today, and make it worthy of God's consideration.

First of all, we are not papists. We don't call our Pastors father.

If you are serious about Salvation®, do this.

1. Pray the sinners prayer. Something like this will do as a start.

Dear Lord in Heaven, I know that I have sinned against you and I am not worthy to lick Your sandal strap. My evil thoughts and feelings separate me from You. I beseech You to forgive this worthless sinner. Please don't strike me dead here and now. I humbly beg you to help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your Son, Jesus Christ who is You, died temporarily for my sins. He was raised from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayers. I beg Jesus/You to become my Savior and the Lord of my life, to imprint Your Word into my mind so I don't have to think anymore. Please send your Holy Spirit to make me obey You and to make me feel guilty when I sin. My greatest purpose in life is to follow your example even though that's impossible, as you never sinned and I am lower than a dung beetle. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

2. Set up a generous tithing agreement with a True Christian™ church. The Lord loves a cheerful giver. I can't stress this part enough.

3. You will need to be baptised by a True Christian™ Pastor. This can all be accomplished for a nominal fee. You could get it done for free from someone you don't know is saved or not, but your Salvation is not guaranteed.

Re: Accepting Jesus

To me, accepting Jesus is just as natural as breathing.

If you feel like seeking His help, then you might be in the right path Brother.
'Cause everyone who follows Him shall be guided to Light.

Of course not! Are you retarded? What is wrong with parents nowadays. Did they even TRY to raise you properly? You cannot buy salvation, although donating to the Church is a good thing, you have to earn it. Earn it by working hard and studying your Holy Bible. Every letter of it. Sheesh, where do all these idiots come from.

Re: Accepting Jesus

As said above, you cannot buy salvation with money. What you give should be what you want to give:

Book of 2 Corinthians 9:7
Euerie man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him giue; not grudgingly, or of necessitie: for God loueth a cheerefull giuer.
