Re: Is Your Child a Godless Goth?

Where does it talk about Jesus returning, for one thing?

And your meaning is based solely on the fact that the ENGLISH word has different connotations. Egad, the British really don't teach their children anything these days, do they?

Jesus says he will return at other points in the Bible. I believe you know this isa the rapture.

And what do you mean, in that the english word has different connotations? That was my point. And the definition of "abide" that was taken subtly changed the message.

No, it's not. Jesus doesn't return on the Rapture. The Rapture happens way before that.

Here's a hint: the Bible wasn't written in English

Then why take the KJV1611 as the true source of his word, if the translation is open to misinterpretation?

The Lords book is meant to be followed word for word. Who the heck are you to interpret the word of God? Do you some how think that you, a one toothed drunken Brit are a GOD? I hardly think so, LOOK in the mirror are you Jesus? Boy you best get right with Jesus

The KJV1611 is a perfect translation of the original, the only perfect one in the world. By the grace of Jesus, He has blessed us with His Holy Companion Book, the Concordance, to settle these sticky situations.

If Your Child is a Gothic, Reform Through the Lord!

Listed below are some warning signs to indicate if your child may
have gone astray from the Lord. Gothic (or goth) is a very obscure
and often dangerous culture that young teenagers are prone to
participating in. The gothic culture leads young, susceptible minds
into an imagined world of evil, darkness, and violence. Please seek
immediate attention through counselling, prayer, and parental
guidance to rid your child of Satan's temptations if five or more of the
following are applicable to your child:

1-Frequently wears black clothing.
2-Wears band and/or rock t-shirts. JUST MEANS THEY LIKE A BAND
3-Wears excessive black eye makeup, lipstick or nailpolish.
4-Wears any odd, silver jewelry or symbols. Some of these include:
reversed crosses, pentagrams, pentacles, ankhs or various other
Satanic worshipping symbols.
5-Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos. ANYONE CAN
6-Listens to gothic or any other anti-social genres of music.
(Marilyn Manson claims to be the anti-Christ, and publicly speaks against
the Lord. Please discard any such albums IMMEDIATELY.)
7-Associates with other people that dress, act or speak
eccentrically.
8-Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the
Bible, prayer, church or sports.
9-Shows an increasing interest in death, vampires, magic, the occult,
witchcraft or anything else that involves Satan.
10-Takes drugs. ANYONE CAN TAKE DRUGS
11-Drinks alcohol. ANYONE CAN DRINK
12-Is suicidal and/or depressed. ANYONE CAN BE DEPRESSED
13-Cuts, burns or partakes in any other method of self-mutilation.
(This is a Satanic ritual that uses pain to detract from the light of God
and His love. Please seek immediate attention for this at your local
mental health center.)
14-Complains of boredom. EVERYONE GETS BORED
15-Sleeps too excessively or too little.
16-Is excessively awake during the night.
17-Dislikes sunlight or any other form of light. (This pertains to
vampires promoting the idea that His light is of no use.) REDHEADS HATE LIGHT
18-Demands an unusual amount of privacy.
19-Spends large amounts of time alone.
20-Requests time alone and quietness. (This is so that your child
may speak to evil sprits through meditation.)
21-Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an
adult.
22-Disregards authority figures; teachers, priests, nuns and elders
are but a few examples of this.
23-Misbehaves at school. ANY CHILD CAN MIDBEHAVE
24-Misbehaves at home. EVERY CHILD DOES
25-Eats goth-related foods. Count Dracula cereal is an example of
this. THERE IS NO SUCH THING!
26-Drinks blood or expresses an interest in drinking blood. (Vampires
believe this is how to attain Satan. This act is very dangerous and
should be stopped immediately.)
27-Watches cable television or any other corrupted media sources.
(Ask your local church for proper programs that your child may watch.)
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH CABLE
28-Plays videos games that contains violence or are of a role-playing
nature. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ROLE-PLAYING GAMES
29-Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the
computer. YOU ARE USING THE COMPUTER TO READ THIS!
30-Makes Satanic symbols and/or violently shakes head to music. CALLED HEADBANGING
31-Dances to music in a provocative or sexual manner. SO DO STRIPPERS
32-Expresses an interest in sex. SO DOES EVERY TEENAGER
33-Masturbates. SOME AS ABOVE
34-Is homosexual and/or bisexual. ANYONE CAN BE
35-Pursues dangerous cult religions. Such include: Satanism,
Scientology, Philosophy, Paganism, Wicca, Hinduism and Buddhism.
36-Wears pins, stickers or anything else that contains these various
phrases: "I'm so gothic, I'm dead", "woe is me", "I'm a goth".
37-Claims to be a goth.

If five or more of these apply to your child, please intervene
immediately. The gothic culture is dangerous and Satan thrives within it.
If any of these problems persist, enlist your child into your local mental
health center.

Well, everyone has an opinion and right of speech, and these 'gothic' things do NOT mean anything that a child or teenager is a goth.

I am a child myself, and believe that nearly all of these occur in every child.
Every child WILL misbehave whether you like it or not, that is what children do and is a part of growing up.
i am not judging, just saying that you are wrong.

That a few Goths do not kill innocent children does not make them good people.

Yes, the shoe fits the shooter....who was a goth.

http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?t=5610#Judge

"If you think Christians should not judge others, then this section is for you.

If you think the Bible forbids judging others, then you haven't read it. The Bible forbids superficial judgment based on appearances and it forbids hypocrisy, but it does not forbid judgment. On the contrary, the saved are commanded to pass judgment on others.

Lev 19:15 In righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

Jn 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

I Cor 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

I Cor 5:12-13 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

I Cor 6:2-3 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

Liberal Christians frequently take Matthew 7:1 out of context by claiming that it is prohibition against judging others. The full context is Matthew 7:1-5, and it is a prohibition against hypocrisy.

Matthew 7
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

My job as a Pastor is to find folks who are lost and to try to get them saved. That job would be made a lot harder if I were unable to judge who is lost and in need of salvation."

Re: Is Your Child a Godless Goth?

"if the shoe fits"...really?? thats the best you can come up with.
you do know that makes no sense what so ever!!! just because a child wears black listen to diffrent music doesnt mean they dislike god an any way or that they or gonna go shoot up a school...they just are expressing themselves freely..i know plenty of people who wear black,listen to manson,but still go to church and believe in the lord..society is about knowing who you are and evolving to young adults and if that means going through diffrent changes and "styles" then let it be..in the end its who they wanna be as a peson and how they wanna dress and what they want the world to see them as.
