I'll read it right after listening to a few Stryper tracks.

Thanks for the infraction, by the way. Discipline is good. Praise the Lord.

Obviously the troll gate is open. It does no good to try that here, son. We've seen it all and heard it all. Nothing comes between us and our Jesus. Nothing.

Dear Demon;

A complete explanation on how to tell which Bible is the ONE TRUE Word of God can be found in my famous sermon, HERE.

Re: Greets

You may say without exess pride, but pride nonetheless.
Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Totally. What was I thinking

Re: Greets

You make an excellent case for the immediate purchase of a KJV, Sir.

I have only one slave (a 'celestial', as Al Swearingen would say), but a good grounding in Biblical conditioning would still be very useful. And help with kids is always welcome

Re: Greets

Only the Good Lord knows if I'm truly saved of course, but I do like to flatter myself (without excess pride!) that I am.

Re: Greets

Denying people the right to possess and read Bibles was practiced by Catholics at one time, so I question whether it is a good idea. In any case, here at Landover Baptist Church everybody must read the entire KJV Bible -constantly. You will find that it contains brilliant wisdom about the treatment of homosexuals, disobedient children, adulterers and others deserving of capital punishment. The Bible is a book that teaches us to be merciful to our slaves by beating them without knocking out their eyes or teeth. I don't see how a modern person could function without the teachings of God.

Re: Greets

You have not been in Christian company, you have no Pastor and you do not know the Bible.


Are you saved and if so, how can that be if you know not the Word?

Thank you, Sir, you make worthy points.

Only the Good Lord knows if I'm truly saved of course, but I do like to flatter myself (without excess pride!) that I am.

As to my want of Biblical literacy .... I can only repeat that I have a good overview, and know some of the important points made by our Lord and Saviour. I hope this will be enough to at least start my journey with your community. I'm tired of listening to so called Christians talk about evolution as though it were true. I'm tired of seeing the adult children of Christian friends take up amplified musical instruments yet not using them to produce Christian Rock.
I'm tired of seeing otherwise Good Christians neglecting grace in deference to the presence at table of an atheist ..... etc etc. I need a community who takes God seriously.

Re: Greets

I don't suggest the Bible is wrong ... I suggest that some of us are too imperfect a tool to safely read it. Certainly, I myself am nowhere near being the tool I could be. But I'm willing to learn .... hence my registration herein

Meanwhile, apologies for any impression of atheistic sympathies given. I blame an excess to needs education for a residual stench of godlessness.

Re: Greets

I belong to no church, Sir. I've been searching these 15 years for a spiritual home.

I know the bible only in passing, I'm afraid. You may find that perplexing in one who seeks Bible based congregation - but you'd be (with respect) mistaken. For I believe that close study of scripture can lead us astray. We begin to treat God's Word as just another text book, to be clinically studied and analysed out of all meaning. I prefer to 'absorb' the Word, via wise interpretation and songs of praise. Hallelujah.

Meantime, I may yet be bant, but if I can steer even a single soul Christwards before then, it'll have been worth it.

You have not been in Christian company, you have no Pastor and you do not know the Bible.

Re: Greets

So you're saying the Bible is wrong? I bet you don't even think Lev 20:13 means what it means.

Re: Greets

Explain, how, in all eternity, could the bible lead us astray? It is the only reason that the world isn't taken over by homers, retards, and joos!

The world is already taken over by the varietals mentioned. I don't suggest unlubed bibling is the cause, only that care needs to be taken before plunging in. And sometimes good dose of Christian Rock can do as fine a job of cuddling us up to Christ as the reading of Scripture.

Re: Greets

By reading it dry, unlubricated by spirit, we risk disenchantenment ... and abrasion.

Now just a darn minute there, SIR!

There is no way the Bible can lead anyone astray

2nd Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"
Deuteronomy 4:2 "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you."
Revelation 22:18-19 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
Psalm 12:6-7 "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."

How can you call yourself a Christian if the first thing you toss out is the Bible?
