HELP! I have been shielded from religion all my life.

Hello Forum Users,

My name is Jamal (I am white, don't worry) and I have been shielded from the Light of Christ all my life by my Satanic parents. After reading several of your guys' forums, I feel my ideas line up perfectly with yours. Please give me advice as a newcomer!


Thanks,


Jamal (IM WHITE)

Hi honey and a very cautious to you.

Why don't you start with what's already on the top of this page:

Attention Unsaved Trash: This the ONLY subforum you can start threads in. Here is where you introduce yourself. Tell us what church you go to and what your favorite Bible verse is and how you came to find Jesus.

Dear Jamal,


I, too, offer you a tentative welcome. Please don't boast about being white. It is unseemly.


God's grace alone conferred that status upon you. It is not as though you achieved anything through hard work, sacrifice and determination.


Graciously Yours,

Greetings Jamal. I am Trevor McGregor from Kingston in Jamaica. Since I have been in America I have met many Jamals and every one of them has been a Black man. White people do not name their children Jamal so you must really be a Black man. Why do you deny your own people? These white people will grow angry if you lie to them. They do not let Black men they consider unsaved into their stronghold but I see you claim to be there. This will never do. You should be proud of your Blackness. One day soon the Black man will be in charge again as it was intended by Jah. First we will have Africa again and then the world. Do not let that glorious day come and find you a denier of your own people.

Thank you for all your responses!

I am actually white, I was born in Egypt so to better fit in, I was given an Egyptian name. We then, as a family, moved back to America. I only lived there for a few years and then came back under 'undisclosed circumstances' according to my parents. I do not have a favorite bible verse or go to any church, currently because I am just learning of the Christian religion. I was homeschooled in Egypt but now I go to Public School.

Welcome, Jamal. I must say that I am somewhat suspicious. Are you a Muslim? If so, be advised that we will not be trifled with. We are armed and ready for any terrorists who come among us.

Re: HELP! I have been shielded from religion all my life.

I was unaware that my name is so offensive and unbecoming, if to be saved by god I must reject my given name to something more appropriate to the color of my skin I shall do so. The small amount of friends I do have call me "James" anyway. I am not Muslim. I have no religion as of right now but I want to be a believer.

Well, honey, you started it all by saying this:

My name is Jamal (I am white, don't worry)

Therefore, it seems like this is a very important issue to you.

Don't worry, though. However you look like, the most important thing you can do is to start reading the Holy Bible. If you cannot afford one you can steal a copy from a hotel room, or just read it online -

I do look forward to discussing the Holy Bible with you, but you have to read it first so you know what you're discussing.

If you have no belief, why do you want to be a believer? We have no truck with fashionable religion here, friend. We serve God and Jesus, not some religion.

Welcome. It's not your name that is so unpalatable dear, but what it stands for - welfare, government paid cell phones, pants hanging around the knees, theft, aggravated assault, etc. You see, these are all traits that are undesired in God's Holy Family. The theft and aggravated assault are more delicately understood as "Giving this land to Moses," in the Old Testament, and are God's decision, not the negroes. I hope that makes sense.

Anyway, to want to believe is a wonderful, wonderful thing! It shows you just may have hope in everlasting life (John 3:18)! It's really quite a simple, and rewarding thing to do. Simply read the Holy Bible (start here for helpful explanations and True Christian™ commentary), believe that It means what It says, and says what It means. Then simply look back on any and every experience and think whether or not that could have been orchestrated by God for you in some way (hint, it has). When you pray, give thanks for His intervention in ways that are favorable for you. Likewise, thank Him for teaching you something, whatever it might be, when He intervenes in ways unfavorable for you. You'll start to notice His Hand everywhere!
It's really that simple! Start looking for God around you. Notice how He has manipulated everything just so, and when something good happens to you, thank Him! Soon you won't stop seeing His Hand all around you! Then, when people work against you, you'll know they are really secret agents of Satan, and you can praise Jesus when witnessing God correcting them in some seemingly random and unrelated way. It's wonderful to be in communication with the King!

That droopy pants thing is so annoying. Even if they are poor enough to be on welfare, can they really not afford a belt? Even a piece of rope would do, or are they that afraid of any random piece of rope?

Re: HELP! I have been shielded from religion all my life.

Thank you all for your responses! I have found most of them extremely insightful. I have begun reading the links to the bible you sent me. I have my first question! Is it Eve's fault that Adam ate the apple. Because I see it as he would have never done it until she asked him to and his was under obligation by God to be her husband. Is that supposed to be symbolism toward all women in the world?

There was no apple. Eve listened to the serpent instead of God. She disobeyed the one command that He gave them. Then, she compounded her sin by talking Adam into going along with the deceiver.


Eve was given to Adam to be his helpmeet and wife. She was under obligation to him, not the other way around. Adam not only disobeyed God, but he gave away his b@lls when he listened to his wife.


It is in the Bible and if you believe the Bible to be the True Word of the One True God, then you don't fall for that "symbolism" argument. Humankind was condemned through the actions of Eve and womankind got an extra punishment thrown in. And yes, that means all women.


Did you really read those first few chapters of Genesis or are you smirking in your ignorance?


If you are serious about knowing and confronting Biblical truths, I wish you well. But don't play games with me. I am not in the mood and until you prove yourself to be a True Christian(tm) of the masculine variety, I will feel free to give your b@lls to Jesus for a game of croquet.

You aren't paying attention to a very simple and literal read of Genesis.


Of course it was Eve's fault. Did Adam listen to the lying serpent? Did the filthy snake even approach Adam? Of course not. The Devil chose Eve because he knew she was the weaker sex, having been created from Adam after all. And it isn't "symbolism"; just how it is (by design) that the lesser sex is naive, gullible and not to be trusted with much. Humanity has paid the price for the egregiously poor judgement of the woman.


Read slower if you need to and make it your first priority to understand what you read.


Genesis 3:1-6


3 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which theLord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
