First off my name is Cody. Im not exactly sure how to start this but I joined this forum in an attempt to learn about the Lord so let me first off say I am in no way an Atheist. However I have never really proclaimed myself a Baptist as I am ignorant about most things dealing with the Lord. But im here to learn and I hope you will be patient with me as I learn more about the lord and his ways. I tend to keep an open mind about things so I wont shoot down any views period. I guess thats it for my introduction

Re: Well here goes.
So Cody, how old are you? What church do you go to? What is your favourite scripture? Do you read the KJV Bible?Drama queen -
Re: Well here goes.
Now im sure im going to get a lot of hate for this...
First off I am 18. I have just recently hit this age
2nd. I used to go to a Baptist church. That was years ago. I lost what connection I had with God long ago. I would like to reestablish it now.
this is my favorite scripture: For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting."
—John 3:16
like i said however... I haven't kept connected with the lord. And thats the only one thats stuck with me. Thats why its my favorite...its one I havent forgotten all these years.
And I have just recently acquired a KJV bible and am currently reading it.Comment

Re: Well here goes.
Well as you know I was born into a Christian family...But i was born to an unmarried couple. Is that my sin to carry? I did not choose to be born to an unmarried couple. Just curious to learn a little more.Comment

Re: Well here goes.
Are you married Cody, how many children have you sired?sigpic 1 Chronicles 16:15
Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations ... an everlasting covenant.
Proverbs 30:5,6: Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Re: Well here goes.
Well the Bible says that you are not allowed to enter into the congregation, neither are your children or grandchildren for 10 generations.Originally posted by CodyydoC View Post
Deuteronomy 23:2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
I would have to leave the subject of salvation up to the Pastors though.
How does a Christian family end up with a bastard son?

Re: Well here goes.
Thanks for clearing that up. Since I am unable to enter into a congregation, does that mean I am unable to be saved? and doomed to eternal damnation?Originally posted by BelieverInGod View Post
Not being offensive here just asking a question....But why does the lord hold me accountable for a mistake my parents made?Comment

Being a mere woman, I really don't know and would need a pastor to make that call.Originally posted by CodyydoC View Post
You're asking me to know the mind of God? Sorry, I'm not that wise, I just know that he left us a rule book for life called the KJV Bible.Not being offensive here just asking a question....But why does the lord hold me accountable for a mistake my parents made?
To be honest, I've only traced my family back 9 generations so I may be in the same boat as you. I know that my family were heathens before then.Drama queenComment

Re: Well here goes.
Perhaps I will be fortunate and a Pastor will stumble upon this forum.
Where and what should I do to continue my process of returning to God?Comment
