It feels like Galileo arguing with Copernicus. Instead of a True Christian you seem like an advocate for the Crusades of the Catholic church.

Catlicks are NOT Christians - they are false mary worshipers headed to hell.

So this is where we revert to insults because you're wrong and we're right

Re: Hi.

Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret-it leads only to evil (Psalm 37:8)

A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult (Proverbs 12:16)

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger (Proverbs 15:1)

A wise man fears the Lord and shuns evil, but a fool is hotheaded and reckless (Proverbs 14:16

A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered (Proverbs 17:27)

A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control (Proverbs 29:11)

..and the Lord said.

Re: Hi.

The above is trumped when it comes to fighting evil.

Deuteronomy 20:4
For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory."

Luke 10:19
I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.

Romans 12:21
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Ephesians 6:10-17
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

I can go all day with scripture if you'd like?

Re: Hi.

Why do you have to keep persecuting us? Are you racist? You don't seem like a very moral person, were you subjected to evil atheist parents? Poor fellow !

But don't worry. Accept that you're a sinner and accept the bible and you, unlike your disgusting evil parents, will go to heaven!

Re: Hi.

Heaven doesn't seem very appealing coming from this lot. Though, I don't perceive Heaven in the traditional sense. I believe heaven to be more of a continuation of life. In the sense that this life is in preparation for the next. Do not confuse it with reincarnation because that is not the same is what I am conveying.

Shout Glory!! We can agree on something. This life certainly IS in preparation for our entrance into Heaven. With that said, I strongly suggest you stop it with the questions and the "I believe" and start obeying the Word of God as laid out in the KJV1611. I WANT you to be saved.

But trying to get me to see something outside of the KJV1611 isn't going to happen, my faith is absolute - it is as absolute as my belief that Obama is a muslim out to make America an islamic state.

I suppose if you compare Heaven and Hell to life on Earth, then yes, Heaven is more like life on Earth than Hell is, well for most people. For the french, denmarkians, and the rest of the worlds heathens, I doubt that Hell and their current lifestyle is that much different. Can you imagine what living in iceland must be like, with fire and brimstone pits, the stench of Satan's rectum filling the air? The US of A, when the air is pure, fuel abundant and cheap, where anything you want is for the taking. Man oh man, that is Heaven on Earth!

Re: Hi.

meh, I'm in a generous mood today.

Our basic belief here at Landover Baptist is that Jesus is Lord and Savior. God gave us a book (KJVA1611 Bible) that tells us how to live and what to believe. If something goes against what the Bible says, then it is because we are in the end times and Satan rules this world. So we don't particularly care what Scientists say, especially when they use terms such as "present theory states", "scientists commonly believe", and "evidence shows". Even the scientists wont stand up for their own beliefs, they shuffle and use words like above so that when they are proven false, they can just shrug their shoulders and say "hey we tried our best."

Instead, we go with the Truth© that God gave us, and what does the Holy Bible say about the shape of the earth? Lets take a look at scripture.

(snatched off of a God mocking site that bounced around on versions, so please ignore the order and such).

Isaiah 11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH.

Revelation 7:1 1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

Job 38:13 13 That it might take hold of the ENDS OF THE EARTH, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

Jeremiah 16:19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ENDS OF THE EARTH, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

Daniel 4:11 11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the ENDS OF ALL THE EARTH:

Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

Psalm 93:1 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

Ecclesiastes 1:5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.

Job 9:6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.

Job 38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

Job 11:9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

So according to the Bible, and therefore God, the earth is a flat circle that sits upon pillars.

Heaven doesn't seem very appealing coming from this lot. Though, I don't perceive Heaven in the traditional sense. I believe heaven to be more of a continuation of life. In the sense that this life is in preparation for the next. Do not confuse it with reincarnation because that is not the same is what I am conveying.

Out of curiosity where do you get that? The Bible doesn't give a lot of detail about Heaven, but I doubt it will be like this life.

I'll have to leave the scripture up to the pastors. I don't have a lot of time to pull all of it out of the Bible, and most sites I've found have given me the fuzzy bunny christian ideas.

Edit #3
Okay there's this page, although I don't know where he gets the idea that there will be no males/females in heaven. Just because we won't be given in marriage, doesn't mean we won't still be who we are.
http://www.godandscience.org/doctrine/heaven.html

Here's a better one.

http://www.bible.ca/su-heaven-like.htm

The Bible gives us a more complete picture of heaven than we might guess. First, we can take a little look at what heaven won't be.
In heaven, there will be: No power shortages, for God is all powerful; no bumping into things in the dark; no sleepless nights (there is no night there, Revelation 21:25). Nor will there be: Bills; hospitals; bank accounts. In fact, heaven will have: No complaints; no back-talk; no hate; no fear; no crime.
Are you really ready to live in heaven? Now, let's take a close look at what heaven will be like: Heaven will be a place of fellowship. "I go to prepare a place for you. I will come again and receive you unto myself" (John 14:3). The children of God shall "meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord" (I Thessalonians 4:17). "He who overcomes, I will give him the Morning Star." "I am Jesus. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and Morning Star." (Revelation 2:26-28; 22:16). "And it shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer, and while they are yet speaking, I will hear" (Isaiah 65:24).
Heaven will be a place to worship God. When Isaiah speaks for the Lord of the new heavens and earth, he prophesies that "all flesh shall come to worship before me" (Isaiah 66:22,23). The Apostle, John, also predicts the same thing saying: "For Thou only are holy: for all nations shall come and worship before Thee" (Revelation 15:4; 21:24).
Surely heaven will be a place of joy and productive work. We can be sure that in heaven we will be like God and Jesus, and they have always worked. Jesus said, "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work" (John 5:17). We find this same description of the new heavens and new earth in Revelation 21:1 and Isaiah 65:17. Isaiah describes it as a place of joy where there will be no tears nor the sound of crying. This is in Isaiah 65:19, and also in Revelation 21:4; 7:17. Isaiah continues to show us it will be a place where one can labor and see his labor bear fruit. This is in Isaiah 65:21-23.
Heaven will have a beauty beyond our imagination. The best John could do to describe heaven was to say it was like an entire city of transparent gold. He says: The walls of the new city are precious jewels. The gates are twelve single pearls. The city itself and its streets are pure gold, yet like transparent glass. This is found in Revelation 21:18, 19, 21.
And the whole city is lighted by the glory of God. Heaven is a place of matchless blessings. Jesus has prepared a mansion for us there. Great treasure is stored up for us; in fact, the saints "will inherit all things" (Revelation 21:7). The leaves of the tree of life will guarantee our health. and the crystal pure water of the river of life will flow from the throne of God to the tree of eternal life. For the first time since the Garden of Eden, God's children may eat out of this tree in His paradise (Genesis 3:22 and Revelation 2:7).
In heaven we will be given new names, new imperishable bodies. and we will be clothed in the white robes of righteousness. We will be glorious living stones; pillars in the eternal temple of God (I Corinthians 15:52; 1 Peter 2:5; Revelation 3:12).
Best of all, heaven with God and Jesus will be a place of love. God in tender love will wipe away all our tears (Revelation 21:4). The angels will rejoice as heaven fills with righteous Christians (II Peter 3:13). Those spirits who have hungered and have thirsted to humbly live with God; those with pure hearts; those who have willingly endured persecution; and those who have lived for God's peace, will live together in life and love forever and ever.
This place is heaven. Will you be there?

Re: Hi.

Um...

Is this place... real?

I don't mean in the proverbial sense of tangibility.

I mean: this Church, the opinions expressed here, etc..

Landover Baptist Church is as real as the very fires of hell. Our Divine Mission is to reveal the full depth and breathtaking majesty of the Word of God, and the Christian lifestyle to the outside world. If you are interested in joining this cause, the first step is to read carefully, post creatively, and use the Holy KJV Bible to back up your posts whenever possible.

Great rewards await those who do well. You have no idea.

How about you make an introduction all your own.

As you are currently posting in the Introduction forum, it will not be any great feat to click on "new thread" at the main Intro Forum menu, now will it.

I look forward to it, janet986w

Re: Hi.

Sorry, not much of a hippie God mocker. I love meat, potatoes, and America just like every good Christian should. I also in the sense that if one were charged with a task, and given instructions to complete said task; one should follow the instructions exactly as stated. Metaphorically speaking.

Um . . . how exactly does one "follow the instructions exactly as stated" metaphorically?

You either follow God's instructions, or you treat them as metaphor. If you do the latter, you are not following God's instructions, are you?

Revelation specifically states that we will be resurrected in bodily form at Judgment. Until then, the dead are dead, and know nothing.

So, reincarnation is actually closer to Biblical truth than the Pastor Feelgood nonsense of "Grandma is in Heaven with the angels now". No, according to God's Word, Grandma is right there, in the casket, knowing nothing, and rotting until God resurrects her.

One question. Your name is "Burning a Pollo".

Why exactly are you burning a chicken? It IS dead, right? Because there's nothing funny about this:
