My Introduction

[btgrossman]

Hello and thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself.

I was fortunate enough to have been born with the Sins of Eve into a devout family. Jesus thus came to be from birth.


Today I am a window without a Man to guide me. I attend an IFB church that is the most conservative in my area; however, it is still more liberal than the Lord commands. In addition, I have two older teen daughters who are drawn to, and heavily influenced by, the secular world. Those are all challenges I struggle with. My faith is my weapon and my shield in this struggle. Nevertheless, I was pleased to come across this community and hope that it may provide some modicum of guidance and inspiration.


As for my "favorite Bible verse," the Bible is the Word of God and thus choosing a favorite strikes me as arrogant, for a woman especially. At different times different versus speak to me more. Two verses that are especially meaningful to me at this moment:


"Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is." - Ephesians 5:17


"The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed." - Titus 2:3-5

Hello and thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself. I am a window without a Man to guide me.

Hello, and to , Miss Grossman. Thank you for your message of introduction, and I trust and hope that that you have been seeking the with all of your might, resisting sin and temptation and dedicating your life to serving Almighty.

Now, I must admit that your message has me somewhat confused. You have stated that you are a "window". How on Earth can you be that? Are you, perhaps, confused by certain parts of the , such as this verse of Holy Scripture?
Hosea 2:15 "And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt."

A blessed day to you, Dear.
Sincerely, Isabella W.

I must apologize. I had intended to write "Widow." Is there a means for editing my original message so that I may correct my error?

Re: My Introduction

Hi Ms Grossman,Let me ask you some questions:


What are your favorite ways for a father to punish their children?


Where do you stand in regards of abortion?


Do you think God is Jesus and the Holy Ghost at the same time, and also they are 3 different people?


Is a part of your mental scenario the fact that Mary was a only a surrogate? What do you think of modern time surrogates, who get pregnant so deviant homos can have children?


Thanks a lot for your answers. PRAISE THE LORD.

Thank you, Mrs. Grossman, for your explanation regarding your typographical error. There is a window of opportunity for editing posts, but it expires after about 25 minutes. A blue "edit" button will appear at the bottom-left corner of the posting, but after the time has expired, that option is no longer available. However, I do thank you kindly for the clarification.
I would like to leave you with this bit of inspiring and uplifting Scripture from the , and I do trust that you find it to be edifying in your daily Walk with the .

I Corinthians 7:8 " I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I."

A blessed day to you, Dear,
Sincerely, Isabella W.

I believe my time has expired. I apologize again for my error.

Re: My Introduction

Sir:

I am humbled by your interest in my opinion. As with all matters, I am only a woman and do not claim to know what is correct.


What are your favorite ways for a father to punish their children?

In whatever way a Father wishes to.


I have no first hand knowledge, nor right to speak, to the discipline of Boys. For girls, the body is punished with pain and the soul with humiliation; proper discipline should include both.

Where do you stand in regards of abortion?

Immoral and deeply wrong in every case. No exceptions.


Do you think God is Jesus and the Holy Ghost at the same time, and also they are 3 different people?

God is simultaneously Jesus and the Holy Ghost. I do not consider them "people."

Is a part of your mental scenario the fact that Mary was a only a surrogate? What do you think of modern time surrogates, who get pregnant so deviant homos can have children?

I suppose you could say that Mary was a surrogate, though I personally think of her as a "conduit" more. Perhaps that is ignorant of me. There is no place for the modern, secular version of surrogacy.


Thank you for taking the time to read that, Sir.

Hello and to our friendly forum, dear!

Where do you stand in regards of abortion?

Immoral and deeply wrong in every case. No exceptions.

Oh my goodness, is your Bible missing a few pages?

How about abortion with the sword, which conveniently get rid of both the spawn and its whorish mother?

Hosea 13:16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.

And how about post-birth, "on the rocks" abortion?

Psalm 137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

Re: My Introduction

Praise God!


The Lord just keeps sending new souls our way to minister and share the glorious news of the Salvation(R) of Jesus through Christ's blood! Hallelujah!


I marvel at the power of the Holy Ghost to draw people in where He knows they will find the best spiritual food on the planet! You might say this is a banquet, and you're welcome to taste and see that the Lord is good! (Psalm 34:8) No need to be bashful, either! Just have a seat at our table as we serve you blessing after blessing according to God's Holy Word.


I bet you weren't expecting to come across a certified equine gnathologist, were you? But, you see, that's just one more way that our LORD operates. He gives us blessings that we neither deserve nor expect. You certainly don't deserve a greeting from someone like me, but Jesus made it possible. Oh, how I love the Grace and Majesty of the Savior. He took a young, handsome, well-built, intelligent fellow like me and changed my life completely. Once, I worshipped at the feet of Mary, where my idolatry displeased the Baby Jesus and I wasn't even aware of it. That's how the catholics get you: at a young age, you're brought up to venerate saints and do calisthenics during "mass," where the up and down never ends. How wonderful to find a church where I can sit for an entire service if I want to, quietly praising God, or I can stand and lift my hands to Heaven and no one will even care. Glory!


Welcome to our friendly forums, and be sure to ask a pastor if there is anything we can do to help you walk closer to Jesus.

Re: My Introduction

to know what is correct.

Here we are fortunate. God has told us what is correct so knowledge is unnecessary. Apart from the ability to read. Even for those unable to do so, it's an easy thing to have someone read The Bible out loud.

One aspect I've always noticed is that although Eve committed an act so egregious (the act of being deceived) it is through Adam that we inherit sin. God is very clear on this point:

I Timothy 2
13-14 Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.


I Corinthians 15
21-22 Since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

45-49 The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

God spells it out so clearly, what questions could remain? Heresies abound in these last days but simply reading The Bible is all that's required for answers. The Pastors are always available for any concerns you may have. Thank you for your introduction.

Wrong.


Abortion is bad when the mother-to-be needs it, when she does not want the baby, or when she was raped.


Abortion is good when God commands it.


Same rules applies to killing: do not kill unless commanded by God.


Disclaimer: this is only our moral statement, following God. It cannot be applied into the real world unless you live under Biblical Law. Law of the land must be abided at any time, otherwise you are risking Hell.

Re: My Introduction

Amen, Brother Gonzalez, and Amen!! And here we have the good Almighty exercising Might -- using, perhaps, a bit of a crude method, but effective, nonetheless:

Hosea 13:16 "Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up."

A blessed day to you, dear Brother Gonzalez,
Sincerely, Isabella W.

Re: My Introduction

Thank you for your reply, Sir. To state "no exceptions" was an arrogant way for me to phrase my own opinion. I apologize and appreciate being corrected. It is of course true that God's commands supersedes all (Deuteronomy 11:1)

Re: My Introduction

Welcome ma'am. How many sons was your husband able to sire prior to you murdering him? What are their names? How many grandsons has God seen fit to provide? Do you have remorse and confessed to Jesus Christ your behavior? How do you plan to serve Him until He sees fit for you to die?

I am humbled and honored by your questions, Sir.


As with Sheshan (1 Chronicles 2:34) I have not provided sons, only two daughters. Neither daughter has married yet, thus no grandsons. I have a deep reservoir of remorse, making formal confession weekly and within prayer daily. As for serving Him, I endeavor to steer my daughters to a proper marriage, towards the Lord and away from secularism, to keep them well disciplined and acting as the Lord commands. However, I feel blind to the means I may serve Him beyond that and am in need of guidance in this matter.
