Hello, back. Now, please note, what you wrote was a greeting, not an introduction. Do step back and read the instructions posted at the top of this sub-forum; that would be most appreciated.

Dear Miss Hammady: How about, "Hello, ladies and gentlemen"? I will have you know that this is that you are visiting — not a pool hall that is full of hooligans and other rejects of society.

Now, then, I see that you have missed our friendly requests at the top of this page, which is not terribly surprising. I shall include those requests here, for your benefit; so, please, at your earliest convenience ....

The introduction forum 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.

Do people still go to pool halls? I don't think I've seen one in ages.

Most likely, the sinners of the world do still go to pool halls, Miss Locke. You won't find anybody at at such places, though. We are too busy serving the — in true holiness!

Hebrews 12:14 "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the :"

I Peter 2:9 "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of who hath called you out of darkness into marvellous light;"

Re: Hello

I searched in my city and there's like 8, most of them seem fairly family friendly. I think the sinners all go to nightclubs nowadays. Could just be me, though.

Yes, the lifestyle of the modern sinner is absolutely riveting to the True Christians™.


So how little of the Bible have you read, anyways?

I don't think that the young woman in question has read the Bible, nor does she care about her spiritual state. She is here because it amuses her--for the time being.

As you have indicated with your little sleepy fellow smilie, her presence here provides little of interest to our community of Bible scholars. She is neither amusing or challenging, but rather, like many of her sort, deeply disappointing--no wait. I have misspoken. I can't say that I am disappointed per say, because her initial post never really indicated any promise.

Still, I do feel a generalized sort of letdown, because the visitors to our site have failed to provide any worthwhile, thoughtful content. I can deal with those who take an opposing stand--as you yourself have done--but I weary of children playing hopscotch in the middle of our spiritual chess matches.

Amen, dear Sister Handmaiden! Miss Locke will regret not taking seriously. If she would join with us in serious study of the wondrous , then she would know that amusement will be something she will never experience again — after the has executed righteous judgment on her!

Matthew 13:41,42:
41 The Son of man shall send forth angels, and they shall gather out of kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Actually, I have read the bible. I just prefer not to idly brag about it. After all, Christianity is not a contest to read the bible the most. Also, I operate not so much on amusement as an interest in affairs at large, in all circles of life.
Is "my sort" disappointing to you? How sad, that you find humans to be disappointing or boring. I find them to be quite interesting, personally, and I make them my study. Your group may be concerned with perfecting holiness in themselves and setting themselves aside. That's fine, and that's respectable. But I prefer to be out in the midst of things. On the one hand, I maintain the mental health of individuals by providing support, and on the other I lead them to Christ.
"Children playing hopscotch in the middle of your chess matches"? I would not say that applies to me, as I am mainly here to observe. But as for others doing that... that's just a fact of the internet. Believe me, as a moderator on several platforms, I can attest.

At the risk of being labeled a lukewarm heathen, I prefer NIV, it's easier to read. After all, making the bible available to the people was the entire reason it was translated to the vernacular in the first place!

Actually, almost all of the visitors here claim to have read the Bible.


So what's God of the Bible's real name?

I never claimed they didn't, I meant that not everyone prefers it like that. Kudos to you if you do, but at the end of the day what matters is that you are reading the word of God.
YHWH is God's name, the exact pronunciation is unknown due to written hebrew not having vowels.

Wrong. Read Exodus again. Any version will do. The verse in question varies little.

No, your idle bragging is all about you and how clever you are. That's why you're really here, isn't it? You aren't really interested in "affairs at large" or making a serious study of anything.

You're here to score points in a game that you have cobbled together from bits and pieces of your own ego. Nothing that you post here directly or honestly addresses any of the discussions we have about what the Bible really has to say regarding the nature of God, the human condition or what it really means to follow Christianity.

If you have read the Bible, post something that shows some discernment about its contents. See if you can string together a paragraph or two that isn't about you and your world view. Find a verse, and extrapolate how it can help people to manage their lives in a 21th century world.

Show us if it is possible for you to write anything that isn't intended to glorify yourself.
