Re: Hi

You're worried that I'm a "feminazi bulldyke" because I'm worried about marrying too young to the wrong man? And before you called me ugly, you are a very mean spirited woman and I'm sorry for that.

and as for this stuff, "I'm sorry. You were a born a bastard child? I'm so sorry to hear that! It's a terrible curse to bear, and to think it will passed on to your children and their children". Why mock me? I'm here, looking for a community to share faith with and you're attacking me. The mistakes of my parents are not mine, and I will not be defined by them. God gave me this life, and I'm going to live it right.

Sister Mary can be tough, but she only is that way to save your soul. She has a heart of gold. But tough love can hurt, so much is true.

I'm here, looking for a community to share faith with and you're attacking me. The mistakes of my parents are not mine, and I will not be defined by them.

Unfortunately many sins are inherited, which is also one of the reasons one has to be baptized.

God gave me this life, and I'm going to live it right.

Your heart is obviously in the right place! Your highest priorities should be to study the Hole Bible and to pray to Jesus Christ.

Don't be mad at us, be mad at your parents, they set your path.

2A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

Re: Hi

Now young lady you be sure to listen to the Cranky Old Man. There is a reason that he has two medals for his Christian Love(tm).

His words are good and true and he's only looking out for your best interests. You might want to ride his coat-tails around here for a bit and listen closely to what he has to say.

Re: Hi

While I understand that sometimes different approaches are taken to save a person's soul, I can't imagine what good it does for Sister Mary to call names. But it's fine, they are her views.

As for inheriting the sins of parents, could you please give me scripture for this? I've never heard this concept before, but I have been baptized. I would like to think that we are born and able to make our own choices, regardless of those made my our parents.

Re: Hi

The kind Mrs. Whitford is merely trying to be sure about you. You would be amazed at the number of people we get with motives other than purity. Also, a True Christian™ is direct and to the point. We do not candy coat things. Because of that, weak souled people take it as an affront when in fact it is pure love.

For example, your screen name, it has bothered me from the start. By its' self, it is fine but when combined with the horrid things you say about your family and childhood, it changes from being clean and white to black and sin filled hypocrisy.

That or some sort of hippy-dippy cappolla. You know the type, dancing about, all hopped up on pot, trying to give friggin' flowers out, telling everybody they love them. Makes me want to stomp them, but God holds me back, though barely.

Re: Hi

And before you called me ugly

I never called you ugly. I asked if you are, because I'm just trying to understand why you wouldn't be married and bearing sons for a husband yet.
You are coming across as very intolerant, I must say. Perhaps you might want to look into how you communicate with people who just want to help make sure you're saved in childbearing.

Re: Hi

I'm 20 now, and I'm a woman. I do not have my father's permission, but he would not mind nor do I live with him. I do read the bible and I live on my college campus

Was your father killed? Has your pastor arranged a Godly True Christian™ Man for you? I pray you find a husband soon. At 20 I don't know if any man will take you.

Re: Hi

Sorry for the lapse in time for response, I had classes.

About my whole family past.. because of the situation with my parents I'm already carrying their sins? And I can't get rid of them? So does this mean I'm doomed already to hell? I thought asking Jesus for forgiveness, being baptized, and welcoming him into your heart wiped the slate clean and allowed you to live a new and pure life. Or am I already written off as a lost cause?

As for my name, I'm not a "hippy", nor do I smoke pot or pass out flowers. Good gracious. I have better and more productive things to do, thanks. But I do believe in the power of love and understanding, which I think is one of the best redeeming qualities of mankind. Sorry if the cliche applied to my name upset you.

And again, about my father, no he is not dead. He is proud that I am in college, since I am one of the first in our family able to go. No, my pastor has not found a man for me, considering he left our church because of the differences between he and the congregation, and soon after I also left. I have yet to find a new church, having recently moved to a new town to attend school. And the fact that I'm twenty and not married isn't that bad, considering the age that women marry today has been moved to later years because of a shift in society. Before I begin to consider those things I would rather have a steady place for myself in the world so I can contribute to the family income, the economy being as bad as it is. And being a teacher is a worthwhile job, being able to do outreach to the children in my community.

Re: Hi

You seem like a good person LoveisUniversal. But I am afraid to become a True Christian you will have to change your priorities. On top of the list there should be Bible study. Although modern society indeed tempts people to go off the true path to the LORD, the values in the Bible are much more important. I hope you will be able to do some serious Bible study to figure that out. And pray to our Savior Jesus Christ for guidance. You will need it.

Okay. But I'm still confused about the whole "bastard" thing. I'm already carrying their sins? And I can't get rid of them? Does this mean I'm doomed already to hell? I thought asking Jesus for forgiveness, being baptized, and welcoming him into your heart wiped the slate clean and allowed you to live a new and pure life. Or am I already written off as a lost cause? I would really like to hear your interpretation of my situation
