[Alan Swallows Waiting for Email Confirmation]

Re: Greetings

So in essence, to truly be welcomed into the kingdom of heaven, I must trust and follow Jesus without question and obey the KJV to the letter?

That's it in a nutshell, Jim (I take it that's your name).

That is truly fortunate my friend! If Jesus can provide such wonderous support from on high, why are so many in the world now trying to eradicate his name? It makes no sense :S surely you would want the world to share in this magnificent gift?!

The world hates us because it hates Jesus and all His goodness.

John 15:17 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
John 15:18 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

So how's your Bible reading coming along? What's your favorite part so far?

Re: Greetings

First, I just have to say a hearty welcome to you, ScotJim, in my manly, deep voice that has nothing but praise for our Lord ringing all day long like a bell with a perpetual bell-puller attached. I thank God that you've found us, because it was He that has led you this way. It is His intention that you find the fullness of His love and the absolute joy that comes from being a slave to Christ Jesus.


Because I am certainly a man, I can offer you an answer to the question of manhood much better than our darling Sister Mary can. Please do not think that I am in any way diminishing Sister Mary's testimony. This is a woman who shouts praises to Jesus in the sanctuary. A woman whose GLORY TO GOD can be heard when she's in the dress shop. Her PRAISE JESUS! is often lifted to the rafters when she picks up materials to home-school her lovely children. Yes, the joy bells ring through her everywhere and every day. Truly Christ is in this woman, even when her husband is gone on his business trips, leaving her at home to take care of everything alone, often not knowing exactly where he is. Why? Because Christ is faithful and provides for her every need. It's no wonder she's in love with her Savior. But one thing Mary cannot do: she cannot know what it is like to have the mandate of GOD to take care of a family in the way we males are supposed to. And I am certainly a manly, masculine male.


If I were to undress in front of you, you would agree that I am a male. Of course, why would I do that?


So just take it from me: we men are supposed to be loving, kind, protective, observant, somewhat aloof, self absorbed, never showing emotion, never backing down, and knowledgeable about hunting, handguns, war, household pests, automobiles, and - without question - animal health. As I am a certified equine gnathologist, my talents are primarily concerned with animal health, especially that of horses. I do not mean to brag, but my knowledge of animals goes beyond the equine since I successfully completed a quiz about veterinary matters just months ago. And now, my focus is on Creation Science since I have a 4.0 average in my PhD program.


In this way, I am fulfilling my duties as a man even though I have no helpmeet. I devote my energies toward animals, and if the LORD GOD sends me a suitable helpmeet, I will not hesitate to show her the same love and care that I now bestow upon my patients.


I do hope this helps, Brother.


And I now need to comment on Brother Swallows' testimony. GLORY TO GOD, brother! How compassionate of Christ to allow a car accident to occur so that you can have your hearts desires met. This is the way our Lord is: always blessing us in ways that we don't see coming! Hallelujah!


COME, LORD JESUS!
