Maria, hi. About your fear, yes, you are going to die. But you have not to blame Coronavirus, AIDS, cancer or whatever.It is Eve's fault. She is to blame. Humans were inmortal. Now they are not. You are going to die so start the right path with God and Jesus.

Greetings and Felicitations!


Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Trevor McGregor late of Tivoli Gardens which is a garrison of Kingston Jamaica which is my home. I have come here to Babylon to receive an education at Georgetown University where I am studying to be a journalist and a TV star like Don Lemon.


I am not a member of this forum because it is a forum for white Baptist people and I am a Rastafari Christian but the white people here are usually tolerant of me and I am rebuked only a little. Still I welcome you here in the spirit of friendship.


Jah Guide!

Re: A little scared and confused

Thank you for all the kind replies.It seems much of the advice given runs along the same idea: read the Bible and pray.
Is there a specific section of the Bible that would be good for beginners? Or should I just open it up and start reading?

And as for praying, is there a right way to do it? Is there a wrong way?

I've never done this before and don't want to mess it up.

Re: A little scared and confused

That's exactly what it is my friend. Read the KJV1611 Each and every day. DO NOT miss a day for any reason! The right way of praying is to show the utmost humility & respect for our Lord and Savior! I must warn you, that you must first accept Jesus into your life or all the praying in the world will be in vain!

Ephesians 6:18 King James Version (KJV)
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

1 Thessalonians 3:10 King James Version (KJV)
10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

1 Thessalonians 5:17 King James Version (KJV)
17 Pray without ceasing.

For most people, starting at the first page and continuing to the end works best.

Dear Miss Maria: Thank you for your question! It shows the servants of the that you do have a sincere interest in learning of the glorious teachings that are contained within the blessed pages of the .
As for where to begin, why, start from the beginning, just so you will get a good grasp of the foundation of the Word of Almighty . I cannot think of a better place to begin than "in the beginning" of the blessed Book.

Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

From there, you will simply continue along, reading passage after passage of frightfully fascinating material, although you may get a little confused with the "begats". But, just study them carefully and re-read them several times. Pretend that there will be a quiz later on, and you will do splendidly, my Dear!

As for the right way to pray, I suggest getting on your knees and speaking from your heart. Now, the most important prayer that you can make at this crucial time is the sinner's prayer. That is when you will confess your horrible sins (all of them!) to the ; where you will confess that He is the of s; where you will ask to forgive you for those wretched sins that have separated you from ; and, to cleanse you with most precious, shed (of which you are not deserving) so that He will save you from spending all of eternity in (of which you are MOST deserving.)

That's an excellent way to develop a relationship with , especially when you are "in the beginning" stages.

May the bless you richly, Dear, and do feel free to ask for more helpful advice from 's beloved servants here, at .

From the beginning, the whole thing, two books a day (should take about an hour on average, some books are really short) and you'll be done in little more than a month.

Take notes; I guarantee you'll have questions. Follow along with Brother V's Bible in a Year subforum for the True Christian™ take on it all.

What else are you going to do for the next while, anyway?

Re: A little scared and confused

I don't know if this was a sign or just a really weird coincidence.

Please help.

There are no coincidences, dear, only God-incidences (Psalm 115:3; 2 Chronicles 20:6; Amos 3:6). In three short months, just like He did with the plagues of Egypt, Jesus has taken away everything mankind worships. Jesus said, "you want to worship athletes, I will shut down the stadiums. You want to worship musicians, I will shut down Civic Centers. You want to worship actors, I will shut down theaters. You want to worship money, I will shut down the economy and collapse the stock market. You don't want to go to church and worship Me, I will make it where you can't go to church."

But Jesus offers a cure for the sickness He unleashed o'er the land. Repentance!

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14

You need to take this time of isolation from the distractions of the world and have a personal revival where you focus on the ONLY thing in the world that really matters. Jesus. It's time for you and the entire nation to turn your hearts back to Jesus and pray like True Christians™ do. This, more than any quarantine, is what will save the world.

Apologize for your part in the torture and death of Christ the Redeemer 2000 years ago. Beg for forgiveness. Read your Bible.

Re: A little scared and confused

A million thanks to everyone here!
I have began to read the Word, and though some of the terminology still confuse me, I'm sure with the Holy guidance of God and Jesus (and the wonderful people of Landover) I will understand everything!

I have prayed for forgiveness and confessed my sins unto God and have been bathed in the blood of Jesus Christ!

Psalms 9:1 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

That is such a great start! Now, all you have to do is continue reading the Bible, and obeying every word of it for the remainder of your corporeal life.

Re: A little scared and confused

Thanks for making an intro thread and including a Bible verse. The Psalms are always encouraging and some of them refer to earlier events. Psalm 90 for example was written by Moses. If that's where you'd started reading you might have wondered who Moses was.

That is covered in the first five books of The Bible, leading up to Joshua and Judges where God's Love Promises are fulfilled.

Welcome to the forum.
