Re: My Introduction

What!? Do you mean meat balls are God?!

Hag. 2:12 If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy?
And the priests answered and said, No.

Hi Adam,

I think you got the wrong scripture. As per Penelope: 21″Well that seems decent of FSM but tell me why are there only cute guys and the occasional redheaded woman? 22I’m trendy but not everyone else is”. 23″It is because you are here.


You seem to miss what life is all about: Enjoy your pasta, beer or wine and especially the occasional redheaded woman.

Re: My Introduction

Thank you for the warm welcome. I will try my very best to participate in the various threads, and will humbly respect each of you for accepting me and my catholic background.

No friend, as it typical of you people, you read into my words. I welcomed you here and encouraged your conversion to Christianity. I certainly do not accept you or your false religion. I abhor it.

Re: My Introduction

...What matters here is that I simply want to find followers of Christ online...

This is the ONLY place I've found online where people follow the Bible as it is written. As the Bible says that only those who follow the Bible to the letter achieve grace in God's eyes, if Heaven exists, these are the only people who will go there:

James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."

...With a community as active and infamous as this website...

Infamous?? Well, I suppose it may be viewed that way by people who insist on creating their own god in their own image, but Jesus tells the True Christians™ not to concern themselves with what others think of them, but instead to thank them for their unjust persecution:

Matthew 5:11 "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake."

...people with same beliefs and intents as myself...

Get reading your Bible. Until you know exactly what it says, you do not have the "same beliefs and intents" as the True Christians™.

...I am terribly sorry for such arrogance at some points in my posts, potential ignorance there...

Ignorance is not the great fault many make it out to be, IMO. If you don't know something, it's just because you haven't learned or been taught yet. Wilful ignorance, where you deny what the Bible says in plain English, is the unforgivable thing here (and with God, according to the Bible; see James 2:10 again).

Re: My Introduction

Hello Mr. Hughis and welcome to our friendly forums! Please don't pay any attention to the atheists in this site. They'll only try and confound you with reason and logical arguments, and the LORD tells us specifically these are irrelevant to True Christians™ (Proverbs 9:10). Like any sin, I've been delivered from bondage to facts and rational arguments! Praise Jesus, He is glorified in our Worship, not our Intellect!

I would suggest you read here and participate in any posts in which you feel your spirit move you. While you may not yet start threads in other forums, you may participate in them so long as they glorify Jesus.

Thank you for replying once again. It may be out of my own rights, but why would you send me a picture of bolognase? Thank you in advance for replying continuously aswell.

Re: My Introduction

What compels you to follow Christ if you do not want to follow the Bible? If you feel uncomfortable, why don´t you choose something more fitting, or nothing at all?

Thank you greatly for your time to construct this well formulated reply. It is clearly apparent that I have different beliefs to a variety of members here, and all I can do is apologize for my attempts to fit in. What matters here is that I simply want to find followers of Christ online. With a community as active and infamous as this website, I believed that it would be a great way for me to discuss events with people with same beliefs and intents as myself. I am terribly sorry for such arrogance at some points in my posts, potential ignorance there. But once again, all I want to do is get into this community to find people like me.

Re: My Introduction

...I was able to purchase a KJV bible online...

You could have got one for free here: http://www.mormon.org/free-bible

For shits and giggles, get a Book of Mormon, too. I found it painful to read though, realizing so many people actually think it's divinely inspired when there's so much blatant bullcrap in it.

...I truly believe the KJV bible preaches the only truth...

How would you know? You haven't read it yet, or you would have seen how it says God feels about worshipping anyone or anything (except for Himself) in any way whatsoever (I'm referring to your continued worship of Mary and Joseph):

Exodus 34:14 "For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:"

...It comes to my interest how some of even my closest friends will not accept the Bible and its message...

Then dump them from your friends list:

2 Corinthians 6:14 "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"

...They seem to be uninterested in it...

They've chosen their fate. Leave them to it:

Mark 6:11 "And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city."

...even when I have clearly explained to them how it is a pure opposite...

Uh, opposite to what?

...I come from a Christian family, raised by Christian preachers alongside myself...

Christian or Anglican? There's a difference. Christians do as the Bible tells them to. Anglicans do what feels right to them, like allowing divorce, or women to preach (Jesus says NO):

1 Corinthians 14:34 "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law."

I do worship Mary...

Wrong.

...I worship Joseph...

Wrong.

...I worship Jesus and I mainly worship God...

They're the same.

John 10:30 "I and my Father are one."

1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

... This is the way I was raised to believe in Christianity.

Re: My Introduction

Welcome Mr. Hughes. Not many COE (catholicks) are able to escape the spindly clutches of the false religion that praying to a pope is.
I think once you read a real Bible and see that Gods love is not all about pomp and circumstance, smoke pots and kiddie rape, your life will change.
Being a Baptist is very simple. You follow the Bible, just as God had it written. No need to have anyone 'explain it' plain as the day is long.

Google is right most of the time:

¨St Mary's Church of England High School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status located in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, England. It is a Church of England school under the direction of the Diocese of St Albans.¨

That is England, not Alabama US.

Re: My Introduction

Hi Walter,

If you don´t want to live according to the Bible that is fine with me. I don´t follow the Bible myself.

As you mentioned your ¨church¨ I was assuming you referred to your place of education, since I couldn´t find a church by that name but did find a school. I just want to know how your contact was with Victoria. Do you have phone numbers etcetera?

Thank you for replying once again. I have checked my address book, and it appears that I do not have any phone numbers for a 'Victoria' that I know of. And in relations to my church, I live in the UK, not in the Birmingham city of Alabama. I just wanted to clear up any confusion about that, but if that is not the case, I can assure you that there is a St. Mary's Church of England where I live.

Re: My Introduction

I thank you for informing me that my beliefs may not fit into this forum, to which I am ready to accept change in my own belief if it allows me to come closer to God.

To respond to your next question, when you say Victoria, I assume you talk about Queen Victoria? In to which I must respond, I do know parts about her life and her thoughts, but would not consider myself too knowledgeable about her.
