Hello

[Fellow Christian]

I stumbled upon this web form when I saw that some non believers were using it as a tool to chase potential followers away. They were posting links across large websites like Facebook in an attempt to show the world how racist and hateful Christians were. Wen I followed the link, i must admit i was surprised with what i found. Though the thread was created with good intent and for a good cause, i must say, the cause was a bit overshadowed with the racial slurs, stereotyping and sewing of race related hatred.

Racism is a blind and ignorant hatred that is being used to chase savable souls away from the christian faith. And this website is the weapon of choice in delivering that misconception (that Christians are raciest and hateful) to the general public.

Re: Hello

Friend, we are far from racist. We are positively brimming with the Love of Christ.

What Church do you attend? What is your favorite Bible verse?

Excellent choice.

Proverbs 3:13
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

I love Ecclesiastes too. I have been studying it a bit lately.

Ecclesiastes 1:18
For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

That's a shame to hear about you owning a Mac. I guess you can go get a godly windows machine now.

after spending a bit more time on this forum I would be most tempted to quote Mark 11:26. - one concerned Christian to a congregation. : (

So do I, friend!

Proverbs 9:13-18:
A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing. For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
To call passengers who go right on their ways:
Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

Proverbs 13:24:
He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Proverbs 16:4:
The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Proverbs 18:6-7:
A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.

Proverbs 19:29:
Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

Proverbs 21:18-19:
The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright. It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

Proverbs 22:14-15:
The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein. Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Proverbs 23:13-14:
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

Proverbs 26:3-5:
A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back. Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

Proverbs 26:11:
As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.

Proverbs 29:19:
A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.

Proverbs 30:17-19:
The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.

Friend, we are very forgiving as the LORD requires us to be.

Matthew 18:21-22
Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

I believe that's 490 times.

Well, I think we can forgive that, especially for such a godly capitalist endeavor.

Hello, 'fellow' Christian.

What is your opinion on the Book of Ecclesiasticus?

Answer carefully.

Mark 11:26:
But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Good choice, Brother. We True Christians™ must forgive one another, as Jesus forgives us as well. However, we are free to judge people, of course (people often confuse judging with forgiving):

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

Anyway, it doesn't really matter if we forgive other people. It matters if God does.

Re: Hello

Yes, cause and effect~ Sin and punishment. The truth is the truth and we must stand strong where necessary and even act in a harsh manner when there is a lesson to be learned. However, stereotyping serves no point but the spread of ignorance and the wanton punishment of the innocent by lumping them in with sinners due to similarities not relating to the soul.

Well, I don't think we do that, do we? If we do, please enlighten us about it.
