Re: Hello... Christians...

Look boy. If you're having a tough time wrapping your mind around dragons, unicorns, seas parting, two of every animal on a boat, trumpet blasts from rams horns knocking down city walls, virgin births, the dead getting up and walking, Jesus returning with a fiery sword coming out his mouth and ect., I don't think we have much to talk about.

It is not that I have difficulty getting my head around it (I can see from whence this misconsception came), I merely don't see how it can work. I may have been brainwashed by those "evilutionists" I keep reading about here, but a lot of what I've been told seems to conflict with what I personally deem to be rational.

You almost made a point here about how your parents did the right thing, but then you went of on a tangent on how other people were forced into it.

Unfortunately, I don't believe anyone of different religious background has been forced into Christianity for a few centuries now.

In my school, no matter what religious background you were from, you were made to listen to Christian teachings from the ages of 5 to 15. And it was actually my grandparents that took my to Sunday school and whatnot. Wait, is that a Catholic thing? I know you guys hates them... so I wouldn't want to offend anybody... again...

No one hates you here, boy. Now quit being such a little bastard and accept Jesus.

That... my friend... made no sense. You say nobody hates me, and then call me a "bastard"? Also, somebody called me a "demon"... I think you may not quite understand the concept of hatred.

Hebrew 12:7-8
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

Do you guys memorise these verses or do you look them up before every post?

Very much.

Worst decision ever. Aren't you afraid of hell? Don't you want to be with mommy, daddy and Jesus in Heaven for all eternity? I guess, you would prefer to be poked by satan's trident forever as you roast in a really, really large lake of fire.

Join the 0.07% of us who are going to Heaven.

Catholics are going to hell as well as atheists and satanists. Still, I can understand their point. If your parents sent you to any hell bound catlicker school, the owners of the school get to choose (within reason) what blasphemies they want to teach you.

That... my friend... made no sense. You say nobody hates me, and then call me a "bastard"? Also, somebody called me a "demon"... I think you may not quite understand the concept of hatred.

I think you are mixing up True Christian™ love for hate. Re-read the Scripture I posted from Hebrews.

Do you guys memorise these verses or do you look them up before every post?

All from memory, of course.

[Meek and Humble]

Re: Hello... Christians...

True, I did indeed state that I hate Christians. I also stated that I am trying to learn from you all. I understand your thinking of me as a demon, but I am honestly trying to think about this from your perspective. Often (due to my being a teenager brought up watching violent tv/films, listening to violent music and playing violent games) I talk and act in a manner that is highly offensive, but I want to change that and have a more open minded view to Christianity.

I am sure any "demon" would not come to do that.

And no I am not a wolf in sheep's clothing. I am merely a confused teenager who lost faith a long time ago, and is trying to put behind me my hostile attitude to the Christian faith.

This reminds me of the rules section of another Christian website I once saw:

[05] Do not promote unscriptural ideologies. Do not attack the Christian faith in the guise of "wanting to learn", for entertainment purposes of arguments and debates. For atheists: No need to post an "Ask me a Question" thread. If we want to ask an atheist we will go to an atheist site. Do not condone or promote violence. Do not promote insurrection propaganda or fear based threads on FEMA camps and other government conspiracies. Our primary focus is current news regarding biblical prophecy.

[Levi Jones]

Re: Hello... Christians...

And like you Christians (supposedly) hate the sin rather than the sinner.

I sure get tired of hearing this one. Can you show me in the Bible where it says that?

[Meek and Humble]

We love you very much and want to save you. You are a spiritual bastard, by God's standards:

Hebrews 12: 7If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Re: Hello... Christians...

Christians (supposedly) hate the sin rather than the sinner...

That is a fallacy perpetrated by false Christians who cherry-pick the Bible.

God does NOT 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.

I too dislike Christianity and not individual Christians.

Hating Christians is no different than hating Jesus. How dare you?

[Rev. M. Rodimer]

Re: Hello... Christians...

I have had a hatred for your kind for as long as I can remember, but I think it is time I come here to learn what it is that make you Christians "tick", as it were.

I believe I see the root of your problem.

Christians do not tick. You have clearly confused us with Islamofascists.

A good friend of mine is a Christian

Have you told him how much you loathe him and "his kind"? He must be very forgiving, as becomes a Christian, to remain your friend even though you loathe him.

Is his name Mat, by any chance?

I have had him say on a few occassions that he cannot answer my questions, and so I come here in search for somebody who can.

Now that we've cleared up your misconception about Christians being ticking terrorist suicide bombers who like to fly planes into things, I'm sure we can help you with anything you want to know about our loving friend Jesus!

Levi Jones-
I am aware that you all praise God here. I am not here to start a fight, as I said I am here to learn about your faith. I figured being honest would have been a good start. Evidently I was mistaken...

I realize that you are a teenager, and teenagers think that "being honest" means "saying whatever comes to mind without thinking how it might affect self or others". That's not being honest; that's being . . . rude.

There is being honest, and there is being tactful. It is possible and desirable to have both. I suggest working toward that end. It won't just help you here, but in all areas of life.

As I child I was forcefed Christianity from the age of 5 to the age of 15 or so. We were made to listen to the local... erm... Reverend? I'm not sure, but there was no choice in the matter. As soon as I begun to think about it, I decided it was wrong to do that to children, especially when some of them may have grown up in a family that was of a different religion.

Lesson #1: The Bible tells us that only those who accept Jesus go to Heaven. Everybody -- yes, everybody -- else goes to Hell to be burned alive for eternity in the Lake of Fire.

How can it be wrong to ensure that children know and understand this? Would it not instead be wrong to let them go about their little lives, happy and carefree, and get hit by a bus . . . then awaken to be cast into unending torture in the Pit by Jesus Himself?

What else can we tell you, friend?

Re: Hello... Christians...

Brother Enoch-
Ah, I guess I should have waited a few months then. I'm sure if I get banned I can come back sometime when I am of the proper age. Until that time, I will think seriously about everything I read here.

Levi Jones-
Yeah I've always wondered something... how come you all think Catholics are going to Hell, but they think you are? Is it because of different interpretations of The Bible? I am very impressed that you remember these verses though. And I was told by a religious friend of mine that part of hating the sin and not the sinner. Perhaps he got it wrong?

Heathen_Basher-
Well I would like to point out that I am truly interested in learning about your faith. If you do not believe me, then I guess it is entirely out of my power to convince you. And having not read the Bible in quite some time, I am having difficulty reading that quote; sorry.

Pastor Ezekiel-
I was under the impression that Christians hated the sin, and not the sinner. I had been told that by a Christian, and so I thought it true. I mean I guess if somebody went around burning churches that would be different... And my dislike of Christianity was based around years of bad experiences with them. Being "unsaved" I fell into the trap of hating them.

Rev. M. Rodimer-
Oh how very amusing. Perhaps I should have used a different term instead of "tick". Although... if their bombs ticked before they went off everybody would notice and run away, would they not? Also since my friend has evidently been taught falsely (I may point him out to this community in that case) I have much hopes that the people here can answer truthfully my questions.

Question #1
I have often wondered about this, and I was hoping somebody could answer. If one has for years been an athiest, who mocks Christians and The Bible, is there a way for him still to repent? If so, how? How does one in those circumstances reconnect with God and with Jesus?

[Miss Cassandra]

Re: Hello... Christians...

Welcome, friend! I'm glad to see someone display some common sense here!

And my dislike of Christianity was based around years of bad experiences with them. Being "unsaved" I fell into the trap of hating them.

So is mine! In fact, I grew up among the people you're talking with now.

I need to warn you, however; these people do not value reason the way you seems to do. Their worldview is very simple: the Bible is correct, and everything which contradicts that must be the devil's lies. Don't expect much rationalization for the ridiculous things they say.

Re: Hello... Christians...

No. It's because we do what the Bible says, while the cathlycks made up their own (polytheistic) religion and justify it by arbitrarily selecting Bible Passages that support their positions

And having not read the Bible in quite some time, I am having difficulty reading that quote; sorry.

What's so difficult about that quote? Don't you understand English?

There always is a way to repent, unless you have blasphemed the Holy Ghost. Get on your knees and accept Jesus right now!

Thank you Miss Cassandra, I'll keep that in mind.

On on that note: ALL OF YOU BAPTIST RACIST PSYCHO BRAINDEAD RETARDS ARE JUST SCARED! YOU ARE SCARED OF DEATH!

THERE IS NO GOD, AND NO SATAN! YOU ARE ALL GOING TO DIE WITH NOTHING AFTER IT! WOMEN ARE EQUAL TO MEN! THE BLACKS ARE EQUAL! THE LOWEST FORMS OF LIFE ARE BAPTIST RETARD CHRISTIANS! GO DIE IN A WELL SOMEWHERE, YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE IF YOU'RE GOING TO WASTE IT BELIEVING IN A FAIRY TALE!

That is all.

Sweet Lord Jesus,
please do not let Your Great Name be mocked! Please teach this boy that You and You alone are the road to Salvation!
Please drive out of him the demons of homosexuality, hate and stupidity, that he will not make such a fool of himself again!
Please make clear to him that You are not amused by his satanic atheistic blasphemies!
Amen.
