I'm so sorry you got greated this way.
Christians aren't that hateful really, we're actually very nice.

Re: Hello Landover Baptist Church Forum!

Pastor, who have i called a fool? i asked for your interpretation of a passage that was all. You seem to be the go-to guy around here, i figure you are more likely to be able to assist me than anyone else.

Your assumption of what i posted was incorrect.

Re: Hello Landover Baptist Church Forum!

Of course, excuse me I am Danish and my English has it's shortcomings.
Thank you for supporting my view on the question "can we question God's divine plan?" The Pastor doesn't seem to agree with me though.

Proverbs 10
he that hideth hatred with lying lips,
and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool


How would you interpret that one Pastor?

The Holy Bible tells us that you have commited a serious sin, heathen.

Matthew 5:22
Whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

You owe me a public apology.

Re: Hello Landover Baptist Church Forum!

I find it interesting that you think me a woman. I have made no comment as to race or sex. It may not be biblical but when you assume, you make an ass out of u and me...
Just a saying.

You'll have to forgive me. I suppose I merely assumed from your uppity, shrill and hysterical posting style that you were a woman.

There are two ways this can go. I can be polite to you and instruct you in The Word or it can go the hard way.

You wouldn't like my other side, but much like deciding whether to go to hell or heaven, the choice is yours.

If a child dies shortly thereafter birth, without being baptized is the child condemned to burn for eternity in hell?

Friend, the uncomfortable truth is that God will exact his revenge upon foul sinners, often by smiting their offspring. Their blood is on the hands of their parents, not God.
Leviticus 26:21-22 (King James Version)


21And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
22I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.


That the children (yes, sadly, even babies) are never able to repent of their sins and know Jesus is also squarely on the shoulders of their parents. From the moment of their birth, all are essentially antichrists until and unless they accept Jesus.

2 John 1:7 (King James Version)


7For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

I know, there are many parts of the wondrous King James 1611 Bible that are easy to suppose should be ignored or that we'd rather were just part of someone else's doctrine, but faith and prayer will help us to accept what God has so graciously mapped out for us within its pages. We cannot presume to know better than our Lord and Savior what is best for us to ensure our Eternal Salvation. We can only submit to God entirely and work, as I am, toward becoming a True Christian™ one day. It is only in Heaven that all will be revealed.

Glory be to God! He rocks!

Re: Hello Landover Baptist Church Forum!

Assuming we know Gods allmighty plan would be very arrogant. We can't even begin to understand what he has in store for any of us.

An excellent argument in favor of not varying from the Bible.

Romans 11:33
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

We only have the Bible to go off of, since we don't know the mind of the Lord.

As an aside,
Please have respect of His holy name. I would politely ask you to be deferential in to our Lord and Savior when referring to Him as a pronoun.

Thank you.

Re: Hello Landover Baptist Church Forum!

I strongly suggest you read more of the Bible instead of your heretical textbooks, young lady.

Re: Hello Landover Baptist Church Forum!

But I'm not making an ass out of myself, that's where you get me wrong.
I am not here to flame you, or whatever you call it. I am here because you interest me. Because I want to talk about God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost, and hear about others as well.
I am here to understand, to be enlightened to learn and change perspectives on things. How can that be making an ass out of myself?
Yes, you are a Pastor and you teach the Word, but knowing God's plan is impossible. You said it yourself; we shall not question God, that is blasphemy, we do not need to ask why.
Assuming we know Gods allmighty plan would be very arrogant, we are but mere mortals, humans created in his image. He is the alpha and the omega, our God Almighty, Creator of heaven and Earth. We can't even begin to understand what he has in store for any of us.

Matthew 7

Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Very nice, but The scripture you just posted clearly says that's a prohibition against hypocritical judgment.

I Corinthians 2:15
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

I strongly suggest you read more of the Bible instead of your heretical textbooks, young lady.

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

And I suppose you think that means that God doesn't want us to judge others, right?

Wrong!

Re: Hello Landover Baptist Church Forum!

Well, if you look closely you will see that I didn't try to pass as one of yours, I just tried to kindly aswer his question when no one else would. And yes I do have his permission, actually he encouraged me to go here, we are engaged to be married in april if you must know.
I merely stated that I study religion as a subject in the university, and I see other women in here posting and giving advice as they will. Why shouldn't I?
I'm not saying that I am a pastor, I'm not saying I know best, I am just saying what might and might not be.
All we can do is guess, because we do not know Gods mighty plan, and we cannot question Him.

I am an ordained True Christian(tm) Pastor, and I DO know God's mighty plan.

You're just a girl. Do you even have your husband's permission to be here?

Please make a thread of your own in the "Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.

And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.
