Hello, I'm new

[JuanSalvador]

Hello, my name is Juan Salvadores and I am a Christian from the country of Suriname. I'm interested in different Christian groups around the world, because I believe all Christians should unite in the word of love that is Jesus.

This is my favourite passage from the Bible:
Luke 18:9-14

And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.


Nice meeting you.

Welcome to our friendly forum!

Do they have Baptist churches in Suriname?

What Church did you attend?
What version of the Bible did they use?

Excuse me, but what does this mean that I am "Unsaved Trash"? Is this a truly Christian website or is it a joke? I don't understand. How can you label me as "unsaved trash" if you don't know me or my faith? If this is a form of humour, please someone explain it to me.

This is not a forum of humor. It's a forum of The Lord's Holy Word®.

I have attended various Christian churches, and the version I quoted is the New King James Version, my favourite translation of the bible.

Have you noticed the number of trolls we get here? It's amazing. I'm sure the Pastors have banned at least 25 just today.

Everyone starts as unsaved trash until the Pastors do a background check on you and you've proven that you are not here to prove trouble. Then you can graduate to a forum member. As for True Christian™ Well that involves long conversations with the Pastors and setting up a tithing schedule.

Oooh, almost. If you want to be Truly saved, you need to get a KJV 1611 Version. Some subtleties are missed in the NKJV, here's a link that explains it.

Yes, I understand what you say about trolls. There are a lot of people who go out of their way in order to ridicule and mock Christianity.

I am neither, and perhaps I have been both. I am just a man living his life and trying to obey God's will.

Heh, tell me about it. Sometimes it feels like we're all being herded back to the Colosseum to be eaten by wild animals. Persecution by the atheo-fascists and secular elites lets us know we're on the True Path(tm) though.

Matthew 5:10-12
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Re: Hello, I'm new

Greetings Brother Juan,

Let me apologize for my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. But we have had many many demonic forces plague our little forum over the past several days and we are all on edge.

Naturally such edginess will go away with some good old fashioned bible preaching and remembering to tithe to America's Favorite Church™

But thank the Lord that you found us!! And welcome to our humble congregation that asks nothing more than to accept that the word of our Lord Jesus (as found in the King James Version) is final and absolute.

Praise Jesus!!

I do not think this passage vindicates wrong-doing in any way. It is my favourite passage because it teaches that men should not seek to show and prove to others that they are "righteous". God will judge each man and woman in turn, and we must remain humble for no man is perfect.

You may want to note that Tillman has only one more post than you and is also marked Unsaved Trash. Whether he is trying to make inroads by coming down on you, or is just mocking, remains to be seen.
