Re: Should I ignore my talents?

I posted this on the Family thread but the member Dirk told me to introduce my self here, so I'll just copypaste:

I am a 19 year old girl. I have been drawing ever since I can remember and I really have a special talent for it. I love drawing people, creating characters, creating my own real worlds and everyone praises me for my talent. I am also very smart. My parents taught me how to read when I was merely 4 and I went to school a year earlier than children normally do. I have always been top of my class. Right now I am taking a major in computer science, since I'm also really good at maths and love everything related with technology. Do you think I'm going to hell for this? Should I just drop everything that was meant for me to become and resignate myself to my position as a woman, according to the Bible? Also, am I offending God by creating beautiful art that other people enjoy?

Well, I for one welcome you here! Young ladies are like sheep without a shepard. Vulnerable to the wickedness of this material world. But I'd really like to learn more about you in order to witness properly.

What is your name?

Do you have any modest photographs of yourself?

Are you willing to open yourself completely and be filled by the Holy Spirit for Him?

Do you have a KJV Bible?

Tell us ALL your sins and start with any that may have defiled you in His eyes!

Yours in Christ!

Re: Should I ignore my talents?

Very well, but American English is superior to British English.

Can you support that with scripture?

Re: Should I ignore my talents?

No, in English. People from Brazil don't write in Brazillian, they write in Portuguese. And fail miserably while doing so.

I hope you know that American isn't really a languange and that the KJV1611 was certainly not written in american English

Re: Should I ignore my talents?

I did miss that. I will be tolerant of your unGodly American while you learn. I suggest that you spend a lot of time studying the KJV1611 Bible - it contains everything that you need to know, including the proper use of American.

Re: Should I ignore my talents?

My bad. Perhaps you missed my reply where I explained english is not my native language. Still, that was a really idiotic mistake. I'll pray the Lord so that He enligthens this maybe-not-so-smart mind.

Did you run away? I thought we were conversing so well....I see you have new friends and they are telling you what I was Don't fall for those dress wearing,ring kissing child molesters and learn the true Word through the KJV1611 BIBLE.

This is called a false dichotomy. There are not 2 stark choices facing you.

I suggest you apply your talents to making life easier for children and other women by taking on voluntary work for your church.With a fair brain (for a woman), you could guide them in the Ways of The Lord after seeking approval of your suggestions from your husband.

I'm sure what with keeping house and doing this extra bit, you will lead a fulfilled life in Christ.

Re: Should I ignore my talents?

You're "very smart", but grade school vocabulary escapes you entirely?

Is your claim to Christianity as false as your claim to smartness?

I am also very smart.

Re: Should I ignore my talents?

Sorry, I clearly didn't explain properly. Drawing is fine but bragging about the talent is not. I was referencing a deadly sin which is pride. Of course we need art to as it is one of God's best gifts.

It almost seems as if you are using a catholic interpretation here. Instead you should only look at what is in the KJV1611 Holy Bible!

I assume you are referring to Proverbs 6:17 "A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,"

If what she says is the truth, this doesn't seem to me like something God would hate her for. Most Americans are very smart and very talented and I am sure God has no problems with us telling that to everyone.

Re: Should I ignore my talents?

Welcome Miss NoPancakeMix,

I have already replied to you on the other thread so I will not re-paste it here.

I do hope you find The Lords Favorite Forum full of wonderful information and if you do have any questions, I am quite sure any of the Pastors or Rev.s would be more than happy to fulfill your needs.

YIC,

Mrs.P.Wintersnow.

Re: Should I ignore my talents?

What is wrong with drawing? If she has a talent, she should use it. Posters need to be made (Freehold Annual Stoning Festival poster perhaps?), working on our website layout, ideas for folders to spread to the unbelievers......

Clearly, you don't get it and are using the wrong scripture.
