Don't all jump to welcome me at once.

[Samuel Coleridge]

I am a devout nondenominational Protestant. I look forward to making the folks of Landover Baptist Church my distant acquaintances.

I attend First Congregational Church in Columbus, OH. Go Buckeyes! Normally, I read the NIV, but I have seen you people's take on it.

My favorite Bible Verses are, James 2: 14-17

What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

Enjoy Hell. Say hi to Lucille Ball for me.

I'm not sure I appreciate your tone, friend. Do you have a chip on your shoulder?

Better have a look at our Church Doctrines before throwing any tantrums on God's favorite forum.

Give us your testimony. Tell us about the path your trod to find Christ.

I look forward to you being a very distant acquaintance as well, papist.

For quoting Scripture? I didn't know you were so particular. Maybe you would prefer a letter from Paul?

I Corinthians 13 1:2
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

Well, I would never throw any sort of tantrum. I might send you a strongly worded letter between fundraisers for the Humane Society and protests against the coming H1N1 vaccine.

Give us your testimony. Tell us about the path your trod to find Christ.

I was once a fundie like your ilk, but over time like a fine wine, I have mellowed and gotten better in my walk with Christ.

It all started in October of 2008. I realized that I had been wrong all along about the poor. I was sitting there wondering whether I should put in granite or marble countertops in my new domicile in Dublin, OH when I got a true inspiration from God.

Now, I believe that Jesus helps the poor like me!

Now dont that beat all. A feller come right out and say he read the NIV in front a God and every body like he dont care who knows. Then he turn right around and quote a verse like it is in the 1611KJV instead a the NIV. Whats the First Congregational Church buckeyes anyhoo? Aint a buckeye a nut? Oh I get it! First Congregational Church Nuts! Go buckeyes means the same as go nuts! Well I guess if a fellers gonna be readin the NIV and then braggin bout it and admitin he aint even a Baptist I reckon that makes sense. Hope you like heat Samuel!

Oh dear! I always knew you hockey playing types didn't have very good reading comprehension, but I had no idea the level it went to.

If you were to go back and read my original post, I stated clearly, I was no papist. I am a non nondenominational Protestant.

A protestant like a craptist, but one who understands that only being kind and saving souls can get you to heaven.

I believe a fine wine that has gone off is known as vinegar.

Might be fine on the fries at BK, but has no place at the table of The Lord.

Ah, yes! You're in good hands, my man, as I speak tard.


It certainly would be easier to read for a someone like yourself. In fact, I strongly recommend the BBE or Basic Bible in English for you.

It doesn't matter that it's not exactly right. It's that you are reading and getting to know Jesus as your personal friend and co-pilot.

Then he turn right around and quote a verse like it is in the 1611KJV instead a the NIV.

That is because I would like to post here for more than 30 minutes. I mean, a cursory glance at this forum would tell you that they have a strong preference for the KJV.

You know what I say about that, Emil? At least they are reading the Bible, and that's the important thing!

I will gladly post the parallel version where the KJV is mistranslated when needed.

Silly fellow! All people who do good works will go to heaven! Protestant and Catholic will sing together in the central park of Heaven where at least 30% of the world will be at the rapture.

Re: Don't all jump to welcome me at once.

Buy my way to Heaven? Dear boy, do you know the Parable of the Talents?

It is a metaphorical story to explain how the salvation of souls can and will get you to Heaven or hell. It's all about kindness and sacrifice.

Matthew 25:14-46 tells the entire story. I'm just going to post the parts that have been pertinent to me over the last 24 months.

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

See you, Sanmanuel. Don't let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you.

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Re: Don't all jump to welcome me at once.

Are you trying to claim that Jesus doesn't hate anyone?

Kindly back your ridiculous contention up with Scripture.

Here's what the Bible actually says...

God doesn't love everybody:

Proverbs 6
[16] These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
[17] A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
[18] An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
[19] A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

And don't give me any "He hates the sin, not the sinner" crap...

Matthew 13
[38] The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
[39] The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
[40] As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
[41] The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his 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.

Your profile is named after Samuel Taylor Coleridge, an opium-addicted homersexual Commie and you want us to take what you write seriously?

[...]It is a metaphorical story to explain how the salvation of souls can and will get you to Heaven or hell. It's all about kindness and sacrifice.

Thus as I understand your claim, you dismiss the conquest of nations by The Trinity as shown in the Old Testament.

In dismissing this part of The Trinity's Word, you seem to indicate that it is within your power to decide where God was correct and where He behaved immorally?

Matthew 25:14-46 tells the entire story. I'm just going to post the parts that have been pertinent to me over the last 24 months.

Surely, if you have any belief at all, you accept all of God's Word? Your selected passage given at a specific time to specific people in specific circumstances (Mat:24:1) cannot be abstracted and suited to your purposes. It needs to be in the context of the Bible as a whole.

I say this as otherwise your passage is irreconcilable with The Revelations of John the Divine and God's message through him of carnage at the Second Coming and Jesus' excellent warning in Luke:19:27.

Forgive me, but I am always wary of creepy people like you who come along here as false prophets hoping we will fall for your "strong delusions"
