Unsaved Trash from Europe (m/23)

[GoldenSwan]

Hello.

I am a 23 year old male from Europe (Serbia). According to my country, I should be an orthodox christian but am not. I consider myself a reasonably thinking atheist who loves using logic to solve problems.

I never really felt that atheism/science has let me down or that I might need help from someone to find my way through life.

However the following is true: I always had a lot of trouble making friends or meeting people because they usually end up thinking something is wrong with me.

For example: the first girl I ever brought home was already trying to control my life and command me the very same day. I cannot allow this. So I refused her and did the same with all the other girls that followed (there weren't many). That said, I am still a virgin and the society wants to eat me alive for it.

Today I happened to click a link that led me to one of "Cranky Old Man"'s threads (the one about smoking). Every single comment on the original website was very negative about this thread but somehow I couldn't find the reason because that very thread got me interested so much I actually started to browse this forum. Two hours later, here I am.

Am I just "hanging out with the wrong crowd"? Why do I find all of your threads so interesting? Why does it all feel so right, yet so against what I was being told for the past 23 years?

I don't know any Bible verses and never was a religious person, but I will continue reading this forum and see if one day things change for me, too.

That said, hello from Europe.

Serbia, eh?

Hmm, this is awkward, but I'm glad you're here. I'm from Canada, you see, and well... sorry about dropping all those bombs on you. It was before we knew we were supposed to hate all muslims.

And sorry about recognizing Kosovan independence, effectively stealing land from Serbia, a sovereign nation, and contrary to international law. I feel really bad about that but we did have a liberal government in power at the time.

I do hope you accept my sincerest apologies.

Welcome to our friendly forum!

I have never heard of Serbia. Does every European have his own country now?

It was not pleasant but I am glad that you admit it was a mistake.

I thought Serbia was a town in Russia.

You may have heard of Yugoslavia. Well, Serbia is one of the countries that was formed from Yugoslavia's territory after war.

You teach people to not be ignorant. Please don't be ignorant yourself.

Looking forward to your future threads, I enjoy reading them.

Welcome, young man. It is truly unfortunate that you live in a country full of false christians and atheist hatemongers. It is not surprising that you walk on a path of darkness, estranged from you Creator, having been raised in such a wretched place.

You seem to be confused about atheism. "Reasonably thinking atheist" is a contradiction in terms, for example. The Holy Bible tells us that atheists are corrupt fools, destined for an eternity of unfathomable torment in the lake of fire.

Psalm 14:1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

You seem to have been lulled into a false sense of complacency by putting your faith into science and atheofascism. If you do not change your wicked ways, ignoring the instructions God left for us in the Bible, then when you die, a demon will hunt you down. He will laugh at you for being so foolish in the life God gave to you as to be led astray by false deceivers and their false doctrines. He will grab you by the ankle, spin you around, and hurtle you into a black abyss.

You will fall for what seems like days. Then you will feel it getting hotter, and you will see a small read dot off in the distance. As you fall closer to the red dot, your skin will blister from the heat, and the dot will grow larger. As you get closer and closer, you will see horned beasts flying above what appear to be the shapes of men and women thrashing around in a pool of lava. These are the souls of the damned, and you are on your way to joining them.

Your skin will burn off. You will writhe in agony and gnash your teeth so hard they shatter. Oh, how you will scream and scream and scream. But no one is here to help you. You have already rejected Jesus, and now it is too late. The flying demons will swoop down upon you, lift you out of the molten lava, and tear you to shreds. This is their way of welcoming you to hell. You will instantly regenerate, only to suffer these and other, indescribable torments for eternity.

Isaiah 66:24
And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

But there is Good News! You still have a chance to avoid this fate if you repent of your wickedness, ask Jesus into your heart, bathe your sins away in His Blood, and live by every word contained in the Bible (KJV 1611). We love you as only a True Christian™ could, and we want you to join us in Heaven. Won't you please reconsider the path you are on and walk in the ways of True Christianity™?

For example: the first girl I ever brought home was already trying to control my life and command me the very same day. I cannot allow this. So I refused her and did the same with all the other girls that followed (there weren't many). That said, I am still a virgin and the society wants to eat me alive for it.

One thing you might like about being a Christian is that women are considered the property of their husbands (Exodus 20:17, Matthew 18:25). Their primary function is to assist men and have children (Genesis 2:18, I Timothy 2:15). Back-sass from women is not to be tolerated in a True Christian™ household, and women are to submit themselves to their husbands in all situations (Ephesians 5:22-24, Colossians 3:18). The Bible has made things very simple for us. Women are to stay home, clean the house, take care of the children, and have dinner ready when their husbands come home.

As for your virginity, this is a blessing. You will be able to have a white wedding! God, after all, tells us that sexual intercourse outside of marriage for the purpose of reproduction is a horrible sin.

I Corinthians 6:18
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

I Thessalonians 4:3-5
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

I suggest that after accepting Jesus Christ as your personal LORD and Savior, you make haste to find a True Christian™ woman with wide hips, who is pure as the driven snow. Your Pastor will be able to assist you in this. God tells us that being married is a good way to avoid fornication (I Corinthians 7:2), but there are alternatives.

Matthew 19:12
For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

To be a Christian is to endure the persecution and mockery of unsaved trash. Jesus tells us, though, that we are blessed when others revile us.

Matthew 5:10-11
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Matthew 10:22
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Luke 6:22
Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

Luke 21:17
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

I Corinthians 4:12
And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

If society condoned of our words and deeds, then we would not be on the path guided by the Holy Spirit. To be a True Christian™ is to be an enemy of the world.

John 15:18-21
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

I John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

James 4:4
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

Am I just "hanging out with the wrong crowd"? Why do I find all of your threads so interesting? Why does it all feel so right, yet so against what I was being told for the past 23 years?

Yes, you have been making unwholesome associations. You must cast them out of your life and separate yourself from them. Anyone who does not heed the Word of God is a child of the devil!

John 8:43-44
Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

The LORD has brought you here for a reason, son. If you really want to learn what the Christianity and the Bible are all about, this forum is the single best resource available. My heart rejoices that you are here, and I hope you will take the steps necessary to join me in Heaven.

I thought they changed the name after the Soviet Union fell.

@Jedediah

Thank you so much for this post. I will read it over and over again.

It is hard to get used to your kind of thinking after all these years of ignorant atheism but I am finding it to feel more and more right, which I believe is a good sign. I will stick around and try to discover more.

As for Yugoslavia/Serbia topic, I am going to just ignore it since it obviously became some kind of fun for some members.

Whatever else happens here, friend, know my apology to you is genuine. That war was the only time I have ever been ashamed of my country's military.

Now, I am heartened to hear the message of Jesus is reaching your heart, and I pray we can bring you to true acceptance of the Salvation Christ offers. I will continue to pray for you.
