My introduction post

[GaryfromtheUS]

Hello everyone,

Well it seems that my opinion on lazytown wasn't acceptable. And it is blatantly obvious that I am not welcome on these forums. So I will kindly bow and take an exit. I would like to offer a special thank you to Professor Bessemer for conveniently directing me to the introductions section of the forums. And in all sincerity it truly was an honor to have spoke with you Reverend. I wish you all the best. May God bless you and your families. I will keep you and your families' health in my prayers.


My regards,

Gary

Re: My introduction post

Thank you for your kind prayers; I will be praying for you also.

Before you run off and close the door on Christ, why don't you tell us a bit about yourself?

How old are you? Are you married? Why have you visited? Why do you feel compelled to leave, when all we have shown is our love for God? I feel that sometimes the unsaved find it hard accepting that what we are saying is the word of God (it's not "politicly correct", so to speak) - so if you disagree with something, why not ask us to provide scripture proving it?

Praise Jesus. With any luck we can help you secure a permanent cloud in God's loving kingdom.

Gary, everyone is welcomed with open arms into the house of the Lord. You just need to release yourself from pedophiliac views and instead, follow Gods Holy Word(c) as laid out in excruciating detail in the KJV Bible.
Please do not leave. God always needs more foot soldiers in the war for Christianity. My dream is to make every living person the face of the Earth a True Christian(tm).

[Professor Bessemer]

Re: My introduction post

Brother Gary,
If you happen to return, I do hope you will find this response and read it. Jesus had a plan for, He led you to us for a reason. You see, we are True Christians™, destined to spend eternity in heaven at the right hand of God.

What many people who call themselves Christians fail to understand is that Landover Baptist is the only church that follows the KJV 1611 to the letter in just the right way. It follows then that only members of Landover will attain the Kingdom and all others will be cast into hell for all eternity.

Gary, this may be your only chance to come to Jesus. Do not squander the opportunity as so many before you have. Join us in correctly praising Jesus! Learn to follow all of God's laws! Eternity is calling you Gary, all you need do is answer! Praise!

Re: My introduction post

I did return for curiousity purposes. Not a single one of you has listened to what I have said. The truth is I am an outsider to your organization and you will refuse to listen to what I say until I become Landover accepted. I am saved just not by Landover. I was saved by Jesus Christ Himself. You see you can follow the bible to a "T" without being a member of your specific organization. There is another organization that teaches it's members that if they don't follow their exact belief to a "T" that they are going to hell as well. I'm sure you all have heard of it...the catholic church. You don't have to be a Landover Baptist to be saved. And honestly your members behavior and treatment towards me has put doubt in my mind of your claims to be true Christians. I believe that true Christians would accepted a person with arms wide-open instead of trying to flame them. Even if they came into your forums claiming to worship the devil isn't it our duty as Christians to help them find Jesus. To ban them and put a label on them and shun them from here is not doing your Christian duty. To do otherwise would lead people to do as most have on these forums and leave. When I post that I am obviously not welcome here then your true Christian self shows, Why? Why only then did you feel a need to do the Christian thing? Was it guilt? Or are you above having feelings of guilt? And I'm sure after you read this someone else will try to explain to me how righteous you all are and that I'm unsaved trash. I have found my experience here to be disheartening so far. And that is not how you should make a fellow Christian feel. Now, nothing I have said here was out of sarcasm or spite but it was sincere and from the heart. So try your hardest to go against your nature to flame me and shun me as "unsaved trash" and think about what I have wrote. No one is perfect and that goes for you all as well.

My regards,

Your Christian Brother

Seriously, are you surprised? This Church is very serious, we have a Mission that will not retreat. Should we accept everyone? What sort of place would that make us? We would be accepting atheists, Muslims, even Catholics! It would not be a Church it would be anarchy.

Revelations 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

I am saved just not by Landover. I was saved by Jesus Christ Himself.

Oh, yes brother, there are indeed many who cry “Lord, Lord!”

You see you can follow the bible to a "T" without being a member of your specific organization.

You can learn brain surgery out of a book – who you gonna trust?

And honestly your members behavior and treatment towards me has put doubt in my mind of your claims to be true Christians.

Find fault in our Scripture and we apologize.

I believe that true Christians would accepted a person with arms wide-open instead of trying to flame them.

And this is why I believe you are not saved. You have contradicted the Word of The Lord!

Matthew 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Matthew 10:15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.


James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Even if they came into your forums claiming to worship the devil isn't it our duty as Christians to help them find Jesus.

It certainly is NOT!!! Are you a Christian at all??? Satanists walking into Landover in broad daylight!!? LET THEM FIRST REPENT AND FOLLOW THE LORD!!!

2nd Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
2nd Corinthians 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
2nd Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
2nd Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate , saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,


2 Chronicles 15:13
Whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

Re: My introduction post

You take everything so literally. And yes it is true you aren't suppose to force your beliefs on people. I know all of this like I said I have read the bible. I spent over a year of my life in jail for doing things I am not so proud of. But we are all human and make mistakes. I live my life a lot different now. I have put down the gun and asked Jesus' forgiveness for a ll my wrong doings. And now have a beautiful family, own my own home and have a great career all of which I have received by accepting Jesus. But I have seen people go from being the low of the low to becoming genuine decent people first hand. As I am one of those people that was lead astray but returned.

Re: My introduction post

No one is perfect and that goes for you all as well.

First of all, Gary, that's blasphemy. Our Heavenly Father is definitely perfect. Second, I thought you said you followed everything in the Bible. Even if you don't, we do, and that includes this somewhat challenging verse:

Matthew 5:48 (King James Version)
48Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

In any case, you can go around being imperfect if you want, but don't go hurling unfounded accusations at us True Christians™, trying to bring us down with you.

Gary, I am very glad you decided to return! There may be hope for you yet! Praise! Tell me Brother, are you certain you have left your life of crime and mayhem behind? What were these crimes you committed? I do hope you never killed anyone. We all know what God says about murderers!

But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
1st Timothy 1:8-11


He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
Exodus 21:12-17

Re: My introduction post

Well Billy Bob I never said God wasn't perfect please don't quote me out of context. I have said nothing to offend so I don't understand why you all are being so defensive.

Thank you professor for your kind welcome. You have so far been one of the few who has actually read my posts and replied to them in the true Christian way. But yes I have put my life of crime behind me and have served my time on this earth and have received forgiveness through Jesus. And I never murdered anyone. Putting down the gun was more a figure of speech than a literal translation. I should have stated "put down the gun". Sorry for the misunderstanding. I don't view my crimes as any less serious than most other crimes though. Of course rape, murder and molestation are by far the worst. But nonetheless breaking the law is breaking the law in my eyes and it is in itself an unrighteous act. And all do respect my crimes are my business and I do not wish to share them with people I hardly know. My point was to simply show evidence that even a person who is headed for damnation can be saved. I would hope as fellow Christians you could all at least agree with me on that fact. After all professor it states under your name that you are an ex-gay. So you surely were headed for damnation as well. But you were saved through Jesus and that is what is important.

Re: My introduction post

You sure make a lot of demands. Now you want to teach us that people can be saved? What do you think we're doing here?

[GaryfromtheUS]

Re: My introduction post

I actually haven't made any demands. Who am I to demand you to do anything. I have however made some observations. I am not here to teach you anything as you all are very well versed. But I have pointed out some of your flaws which you carry yourselves as not having any. We all have flaws regardless of how you may think of yourself. And I know you are trying to save people I just feel as though the way some of you go about it is a little unorthodox to how a interpret the bible to state. We are suppose to turn our cheeks not lash back at others, correct? Or do we only turn the cheek to those who are also saved?

tl;dr

Gary, I lost interest in your 'poor me' rambling after the first sentence. Infact, I was and am terribly hurt by the words you bantered about. I tried to reach out to you only to be slapped in the face. Not very Christian, I must say. No wonder no one likes you anywhere. Poor baby Jesus must hold His head in His hands and weep when he thinks of you.

Son, I'll close by saying everyone is an outsider until they let Jesus into their heart. Do not shut Him out.

Re: My introduction post

[...]I just feel as though the way some of you go about it is a little unorthodox to how a interpret the bible to state.

Oh Gary! I assure you it is not we who traduce the Word of God. It is false prophets who guide the masses to Satan. They preach what people want to hear, they do not preach what God has spoken.

Have you noticed how nowadays so-called preachers never mention Jephthah daughter Jug:11:31-40 or Judah and Tamar Gen:38:13-26 or the much neglected Nahum:3?

Have you noticed how no preacher you have ever heard has preached on Luke:19:27?

Think about it Gary - what are these people doing? They are misleading you!

Was there a reason God said, "Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Proverbs 30:6 Add thou not unto his words , lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar."?


Can I refer you to these words by our semi-retired Pastor Al?

Of the 31101 verses of Scripture, less than 200 of them do not deal with extreme violence. God is a violent God. But in church you were only told about those 200 verses of a loving God. That isn't true. Jesus is returning for one reason only and it is written clearly in every Bible. It is to start Armageddon and kill everyone on earth. This will happen after the four horsemen of the Apocalypse rain down horror and destruction. That is the Biblical God. But if you tell people that they don't care to support your church. They want God to be what they imagine Him to be. Pastor Al

We are suppose to turn our cheeks not lash back at others, correct? Or do we only turn the cheek to those who are also saved?

Oh, we are not bothered by what people think of us - Jesus was right when He said that - we forgive everyone.

However, I ask you to make a discernment. What a man says of me is nothing, what he says and does against God and His Law, I hope you will agree, is another matter. The Lord sends armies against His enemies and we are his foot-soldiers.
