Hello

[Camrean]

Hello, Landover Church forum members.

I was linked here from another forum, and I had seen that I need to post an introduction thread, so here I am.

I do not like to use my own name or picture on the internet, so I use the name of a character in one of my in-progress novels.

I am a Baptist Christian, I have been raised as a Baptist Christian, and try to go to church when I can. Unfortunately, the only local church in my town has shut down because of financial problems, so I have been unable to attend as of late.

I have joined this forum because I find the views represented here interesting and worthy of discussion.

I look forward to talking with all of you.

[Brother Lazarus]

Welcome to God's favorite forum where your proper spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure are appreciated!

It's unfortunate that your church shut down, perhaps you didn't tithe enough?

What forum were you linked here from?

And thank you for following proper church protocol.

Yours in Christ

Re: Hello

Welcome. What is your favorite verse from the King James Bible? What did that other church do to anger God so much?

Re: Hello

What did you mean by: "I go to church when I can"? Is this only in reference to being unable to attend your church since God closed it for being too coddling of sinners, or did you fail to keep the Sabbath holy and worked on Sundays instead of going?

My favorite are Job 40:9: "Have you an arm like God? Or can you thunder with a voice like His?"

To answer your second question, I don't know, to be honest.

Oh, no, nothing of that sort. I just meant that my alarm clock rarely functions correctly, and so I often oversleep.

Because you are out late Saturday nights drinking, whoring, blaspheming, revelring, gambling, and doing all manners of vice?

No, definitely not.

Why do you assume such Reverend?

Heb:6:10: For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
Heb:6:11: And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
Heb:6:12: That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

What exactly are you saying there, Ezekiel?

Re: Hello

Ezekiel is warning you about being slothful, or lazy. If your alarm is not working correctly, you are being lazy by not replacing it.

Yours in Christ

Re: Hello

It's "Mr Bathfire" to you and I am saying that you have been, by your own words, slothful in not rising to praise The Lord.

You know full well that the alarm clock has not been reliable and you are using it as an excuse - and a feeble one at that.

That is what I am saying.

Yes, I really should replace it. I'll go buy a new one tomorrow when I buy new lightbulbs.

Oh, and about my oversleeping, I have chronic insomnia, and so it is very difficult for me to get to sleep. But when I do, I sleep for a long time.

Alright, sorry, Mr. Bathfire.

Re: Hello

Goid is not worth a decent alarm clock?

Although, I never use them. I am asleep by 9PM, cannot stay in bed past 4AM.

Either Church services are real early where you live or the Chuch must be very far away.

Have you sought faith healing for your insomnia?
