My Intro

[GuySmiley]

The beginning of your page states "Attention Unsaved Trash"... So, since you've obviously started out on an insulting note, not even knowing who i am before labelling me a 'trash' i believe your inquest into my identity merits no response, save for this: The JESUS I ENCOUNTERED IN DECEMBER 1990 IS NOTHING LIKE THE ONE YOU DEPICT HERE! There's too much hatred for mankind on this site it's mind-boggling. If I didn't know better, i'd have thought Osama Bin Ladin was your pastor!

[Pastor William Nathaniel Sampson]

Re: My Intro

That's not much of an introduction.

Here is where you introduce yourself. Tell us what church you go to and what your favorite Bible verse is and how you came to find Jesus.

Can you show me how we have misused the Bible?

Uh huh, so because we quote from the Bible extensively you think a radical mooslim would be our pastor?

... Would you care to explain your thought process here?

Furthermore, please feel free to show us any examples of us taking scripture out of context and explain what it really means. It's OK, I can wait.

Well, aren't you very self important! Friend, had you actually carefully read any of the posts you are purported to, you would of seen we are following His Word.
We do not alter it.
We do not interpret it.
We do not 'wing it'.
We do not sugar coat it.
God had the Bible written in a very specific manner with perfectly chosen words. It is the Word of God after all. God create man and the ability to communicate, therefore He has a divine ability to do so. Therefore, the words in the Bible are perfect words and as such, must be followed precisely.
So...you show us where we did not follow the Word of God. Please show us where we interpreted, altered, 'winged' or sugar coated it. God tells you to jump, you jump. God tells you to kill, you kill. God tells you certain people are bad, you're darn tootin' those people are bad and must be dealt with according to His scripture.

Then you encountered a fake. If you had taken the time to actually read the Bible, you would know to be on the lookout for that kind of deception.

Well, that's much better. Thing is, I'm still in the office making reports (it's 8:30pm right now in Lagos, Nigeria) so I'm not sure I have that much time to spare. We run a 12hr economy here.

Well, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I'm Anglican. My parents were Anglicans. I'm married and an expectant father. I'm a researcher with a food conglomerate. I do research into quality and safety systems, paid to design, develop, provide measurement and ensure improvement in line with best applicable practices in the food industry...well, so much for me at the moment

My favorite verse of the Bible is Mark 12:17 "...render unto Ceasar the things that are Ceasar's, and to God the things that are God's."

I LOVE that verse because, you see, I write a bit of code so I know and appreciate the invaluable nature of computer logic. Well, that particular verse burst all my logic bubbles when it sank in years back. Jesus was asked a 'yes or no' question. But His reply revealed not all 'yes or no' question requires a 'yes or no' answer. I still get goose bumbs just thinking about that 'logic'. No, it wasn't logic, else He would have given a yes or no answer. Just don't know how to describe it but it's deep...very deep.

Encountered the power of God through my best friend. He was a pacifist. Two years younger than me, he past away August 13, 1996. An explosion in a lab he was working at. Nothing has been the same since. Many times I wonder what to make of God in the midst of so much evil happening to good people. That's why I'm averse to violence or anything slightly resembling it. My best friend (of blessed memory) showed Christ to me and that Christ never commanded him to kill, hate, or wish me ill despite all I did to him when he was alive. That's why I can't subscribe to any semblance of violence. I'd rather walk away. And I'm not sorry I'm a pacifist... You see, every man dies, but not every man really lives.

Take care, Pastor.

Obviously, you've got me mixed up with someone else. You see, I don't drink, discounting coffee of course.

Your reply is nonsensical. I mentioned neither drinking in general nor coffee in particular.

"...We do not interpret it."

If you don't interpret it, how do you understand it? If you don't understand it, how can you apply it correctly?

And as for the "killing" part, well, I'd rather walk away. Real courage/power is not in the taking away of a life but in giving it. Real courage is walking away even if you are a 2nd dan black belt in taekwondo. Take care.

You just assumed I've not read the Bible, and you were actually 'smiling' saying that. Wow! You know what they say about assumption.

I can tell from your posts that you have not spent much time reading the Bible, or at least not the KJV. That is not an assumption: that is an observation.

I recommend that you get your anger under control and kick back and discuss Jesus with us. That's what you're here for!

Do you interpret the color Blue? Do you interpret a wife? One is a specific color, the other makes babies for Jesus, nothing else.
All words have a specific meaning, Combined, a sentence is created that makes a statement. God does not empower any flesh and blood person to 'second guess' Him. If God wanted the words to be taken with a different meaning than those they do, he would of said so. There is no preamble in the Bible that states "Make it up as you go, I do not care. - God" Do you know better than God?
God is not a drunk prom date who says 'No' means 'Yes'.
Real power is being able to stomach Gods commandments and do what He demands, be it stoning your son or selling off a daughter. Only a yellow bellied wimp would refuse to do what God commands.
