Hello Im derek

[DerekB]

Im slightly confused as to some of the content on here, but I guess I have to start here.

My name is Derek and I live in the North East in a humble town along the coast. I have been devout for as long as I can remember and found this site upon my research.

Re: Hello Im derek

Praise the Lord you came here, Derek! You can now see the true face of conservatitve Christianity.

Tell me your favorite verse from the NIV, KJV or The Message. It doesn't matter as long as you read the Word.

Re: Hello Im derek

That would probably be Matthew 7: 13-14

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat


Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Re: Hello Im derek

Also what is the NIV and The Message... I have never heard of that before.

So far I see no sign of you being a Christian at all. What church does your father take you to? What's your pastor's name?

Praise Jesus! You're a Christian!
The book of Matthew is great! Some of my favorite verses come from there!

Matthew 6:2-5
"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites,

Your sweetest servant in Christ,
Sam

Can you suport what you just said using scripture faggit?

Re: Hello Im derek

Compare that last verse I posted about the wonderful sweet love and Charity to that mean Old Testament.

Judges 21:14-18

Moses was angry with the officers of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who returned from the battle. "Have you allowed all the women to live?" he asked them. "They were the ones who followed Balaam's advice and were the means of turning the Israelites away from the LORD in what happened at Peor, so that a plague struck the LORD's people. Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.

Why the skepticism towards a new member? I attend the Kingdom Life Christian Church in Milford, CT.

Samuel: I am glad that I am amongst good company... My other favorite verse would be Mark 1.

We have to be careful. This Godly forum is a target for swarms of unsaved trash, Godmocking atheists, and radical sodomites to name just a few.

How old are you, son?

Well, you can see my reputation here and understand that, as horribly terribly mean as they can be, they respect the ability to quote scripture.

Samuel: I am glad that I am amongst good company... My other favorite verse would be Mark 1.

Mark 1 what?

[DerekB]

Re: Hello Im derek

Why Mark 1:1... I meant to edit this looking back onto my earlier post but there seems to be no edit function.

And I am 22 years old.

Re: Hello Im derek

SCREEEECH!!

Your "church" allows female pastors? You aren't even a Christian, boy!

Do you even know what the Holy Bible says about females in church?

1 Corinthians 11:3
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

1 Corinthians 14:34-36
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

Ephesians 5:22-24
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

Colossians 3:18
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

1 Timothy 2:11-15
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing.
