Anything I tell you is confidential, right?

Once you retain me as counsel, yes.
I will send you my brochure on attorney client privilege once I get the money.
I hope you're ready to answer my questions honestly.
You sure traveled a lot last year. Fun or business? A different motel 6 every night for over three months. I bet they leave the light on for you. LOL

Oh, let's not burden such a nice young lady with all kinds of confusing things.

I like to keep the focus on Jesus!

I completely concur with your statement about not burdening this person with your past, based on what I've been able to uncover in my investigation. And that's all I'll say in public.


FM: We really need to talk.

Also, if you could please post a picture of yourself, that would be nice.


You know, to put a face to the name.

Brother FM, You are always so helpful to new folk around here. I admire that. Have you shared with this person all the misfortunes you've endured in the past year or so? I think it could be a bonding moment.

Re: Hello Fellow Christians!

Oh, you were being serious when you said the only thing a woman is here for is cooking and cleaning?

Oh, that's not me being serious about it - it's Jesus who is serious about it:

Ephesians 5:22-24
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

1 Timothy 2:11-15
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

So would you be against women doing a full-time job instead of the husband? Or a republican woman being president?

Which part of women are inferior to men and cannot usurp authority over men don't you understand, honey?

Also, I am still waiting for you to address my questions. If I may copy from my previous post again - I will number and color code them for easier understanding (I understand that as a female your brain power is somewhat limited - it is a cross that all of us women have to bear):

1. I would appreciate if you explained what is the basis for your selectiveness.

2. Do you find rape to be a lesser offense than consensual sex between two people of the same sex? (Hint: God does)

3. When you say you're OK with the OT view of homosexuality, does that mean you agree that death is the appropriate punishment for it?

4. How about gender inequality - that is in the New Testament, is that OK for you or not, and why?

5. I'm really puzzled: how do you justify selecting only some small parts of the Holy Bible while rejecting 90% of it?

Cooking and cleaning and tending after the children is a full time job, dear. It's how we free our men from domestic frustrations so they can protect and provide for us full time. It's the way the LORD intended, which you would know if you actually read the founding documents of the religion to which you say you belong.

I do not understand where your sarcasm comes from, dear.

Re: Hello Fellow Christians!

Hello Kylinn0307, that is an odd name. What shall we call you?

Anyway, you say you're 17 years old. Seventeen. My, my, my, what a lovely age to be.


Yes indeed.


You just let me know if you need anything, dear.


Anything at all.

[BrotherLarry]

Re: Hello Fellow Christians!

Sister Kylinn,


At least you have a sense of humor! Waiting for marriage until you finish college! You will be an old maid by that time.


I recommend some prayer and counseling from a Bible believing (Baptist) pastor.

Re: Hello Fellow Christians!

Oh of course

I do not understand where your sarcasm comes from, dear.

Also, would you care to answer my questions, please?

Re: Hello Fellow Christians!

I do hope that the college you're attending is one that teaches you how to cook and clean properly - which is basically what women were created for.

Oh of course

[Basilissa]

Re: Hello Fellow Christians!

I don't have children. When I said I serve in the kid's area at church, I meant I help teach and take care of them. They are the church members' kids, not mine. I don't have a husband as I am 17 and most likely won't get married until after college.

Hello, dear. I do hope that the college you're attending is one that teaches you how to cook and clean properly - which is basically what women were created for.

1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

I have a hunch that my Christian beliefs are much different from yours and many others on this site.

That saddens me very deeply, but there still is hope for you, dear: read the Holy Bible and obey it!

I follow my pastor willingly and try my hardest to seek out God. My faith seems to be more of a modern one compared to yours. Many of the laws in the Old Testament are ones that I do not follow. These aren't my own choice, but my pastor's. He has preached on this matter before and told us that the old laws such as not eating shellfish (Leviticus 11:12), not wearing clothes made of two fabrics (Deuteronomy 22:11), or forcing your daughter to marry her rapist (Deuteronomy 22:28-29) are outdated. He said that they were made for the people of that time, not our time.

Can you (or your pastor) produce a Bible quote that would support this view? Because Jesus is quite clear on this matter:

Matthew 5:17-20
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Do you see? Jesus wants us to be even more focused on following every single Old Testament law than the Pharisees.
The only laws that have been abolished were the food prohibitions and cutting skin of the male part. Everything else stands.

There are some major laws that I do agree with, like homosexuality being a sin. I mainly believe this one due to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

I would appreciate if you explained what is the basis for your selectiveness. Do you find rape to be a lesser offense than a consensual sex between two people of the same sex? When you say you're OK with the OT view of homosexuality, does that mean you agree that death is the appropriate punishment for it?

Please! That was thousands of years ago! Those laws are so outdated. God hasn't destroyed anything with fire and brimstone,in like, ages.
