Where to begin...

[Kaigar]

I'm not going to lie, I found out about this website and initially created an account on here to troll you all into the ground...But the more I read through some of the topics posted throughout the forums, the more interested I've become. So you get some brownie (or cookie, if you prefer) points there already for catching my interest.

So, an introduction. My name, in case you hadn't already gathered, is Kaigar, or simply Kai. I'm originally from California, but am living in Indiana currently. I grew up being raised Irish Catholic (Don't hate, I didn't have much choice in the matter) but ended up turning away from that at the age of twelve after a rather unsettling experience involving a surfing accident, being declared clinically dead, and some....Visions, for lack of a better term, while I was gone.

For a while, I did quite a bit of soul searching, trying to find meaning in life and the things going on around me. I studied a vast multitude of different faiths, from Buddhism to Gnosticism, and pretty much everything in between. At this point, I'm more worried about leading a good life than giving a title to what I believe and feel.

In all honesty, I have questions...Questions that no one else has ever been able to answer, and I'm stuck in a constant quest to find these answers...Hopefully I can find some of them here.

A standard you were unlikely to reach. Jesus is here with us.

This is the power of Jesus, sinners come to mock and stay to revel in the vibrant diversity and Love of Christ.

I grew up being raised Irish Catholic (Don't hate, I didn't have much choice in the matter)

Does that differ from Roman Catholic? Does everyone get drunk on altar wine, start a fight and take bets on who’ll win? Anyhoo, Kaigar doesn’t sound very Irish; more like an evil overlord… but I’ll let that pass.

Visions, for lack of a better term, while I was gone.

The lack of visions is certainly a sign that all was darkness – you saw the approach to the Gates of Hell. This is what comes of worshiping Mary.

God will provide the answer to all your foibles and questions

Well, at least we know who failed the reading comprehension part of their English classes...

Re: Where to begin...

What questions do you have? We will do our best to answer them from a biblical perspective.

Re: Where to begin...

In regards to the infraction I was so lovingly given for my previous post, I would simply like to say that, just as you yourself said, Mr. Jones, I will treat all of you exactly as you treat me, as is what you deserve. When Bathfire up there obviously decided to make his own skewed assumptions about my heritage and then proceed to bash my family and my name, I took offense. Get over it.

Now, questions...lord knows I have so many after looking through this forum...I'll start off simple though. How do magnets work? From a biblical perspective, of course.

You start off say you are soul-searching, wanting to find meaning in life and so on. Funny how this is your first question, then. Do you think knowledge of how magnets work will ease your torment in Hell?

Magnetism is not explained in the Holy Bible. Neither is photosynthesis.

True Christians™ don't insult God by trying to understand what is not meant to be known by mortals.

Psalm 147:5 "Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite."

And we understand what will become of those that do not trust in Him.

Luke 12:5 "But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him."

In Jesus

Re: Where to begin...

No need to be hostile, Barton. I'm completely serious. It's something that's bothered me for a very long time, as science and athiests both have an answer for how magnetism works, but I've never been able to find a faith-based answer that doesnt come from some r-tard wiccan calling it "magic', which as we all know is simply ridiculous.

You have a theory about how it works. In other words, a wild guess.

I'll accept the conjecture as truth when you can show me the actual magnetic particles in motion.

What's there to understand? God made some metals magnetic so that they could be useful to us.

Asking "how do magnets work" (which makes me suspicious of your true reasons for being here) is no more rational than asking why God made a dog a dog, or a horse a horse.

First of all, I'll give you, sir, the benefit of the doubt by assuming you made a simple mistake when you lumped me into the same category as the disgusting athiests.

As to my question, I can accept that there are things in the universe that we are simply unable to comprehend, such as the nature of Divinity. My next question is another rather simple one though, why did god give us Free Will?

I have a feeling you will not last very long here, Mr. Kaigar.

You are an uninvited guest on this forum. Brother Bathfire is a well-respected True Christian™, a member in good standing of Landover Baptist Church, and one of your hosts. As is Brother Porter.

You will do well to remember that you are an uninvited guest here, assuming you wish to stay here for any length of time. This is a Christian church's discussion forum, not your playground. You can and will be removed, if you are disruptive.

Is that some sort of a gag? Do you think this is an Insane Clown Pansies forum? Are you yet another uppity Juggaloser?

If so, this revolting drag queen has some words for you:

Re: Where to begin...

You yourself would do well to remember that you do not, in fact, know everything about everyone, Reverend. I continue to remain here hoping to find actual answers and truth, something that you and your members preach about, and all I am met with is hostility. Did Jesus ever rebuke or turn away anyone who came to him in honest search of Truth?

I'm not perfect. No one is, not even the members of your congregation. I could very easily go to some random church in town, seeing as how there are upwards of 50, and ask for their version of the truth, and get something totally different from what I'm finding on here. Frankly, if I were you, I would be ecstatic that someone was actually trying to find the Truth with your help.

As for ICP and their "juggalo" followers, I find them an atrocity in the eyes of everything decent in this world, and would personally destroy them all if I had the means.

Because He wants us to love Him. Truly love Him.

How can you love anyone or God without the ability to choose between love and hate? Any preprogrammed decision making inclinations would result in neither emotion and nothingness.

So we can either spit in his eye in vicious hatred as we sodomize each other and choose lives of reprehensible sin, or we can use free will to abandon the filth that Satan would tempt us with and choose true love for our Lord God.

Simple.

In Christ

Re: Where to begin...

Brother Porter, I say this with complete sincerity.

Thank you.
