    Hello

    Tell us what church you go to - I'm a Baptist in Spain with no church for miles.

    What your favorite Bible verse is - Psalm 131.

    How you came to find Jesus - He found me.

    I believe God has led me to this forum to give me the intellectual rigor and philosophical precision usually provided by a True Christian™ church.

      Tiempo, welcome! We love hearing from you people in backwards third world countries to keep us abreast of Biblical events. Have you heard about any wars or rumors of wars? How about any earthquakes in your diverse places? Also, when was the last time that locusts devastated your crops?

        Can you tell us the town you live in, or the nearest town? Sometimes the best independent Baptist churches are tucked away in the unlikeliest of places...we'll help you find one!

        That is also a favorite chapter of mine. It makes me happy that I am humble, and of course that I was weaned.

        You were never out of his sight, friend!

        (Proverbs 15:3) "The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good."

        Well, you can listen to us all day long, but in the end the 1611 KJV Bible is the final authority. Maybe He led you here just so you can see that there are other people on the path with you!

        (Amos 3:3) "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?"

          Welcome Young lady!
          How many sons have you provided for God so far?
          Does your husband prefer the filling or the crust of your pie?
          Where did you get a Bible if there are no Churches where you are?
          Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
          Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
          Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
          Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
          Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
          Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

            Bathing in red wine smoking a cigar and being fed grapes by a wench – you know, the usual.

              How can you possibly hope to get clean if you are bathing in wine? That's practically an exercise in futility.

                Thanks for the welcome!

                We’ve got some planes in the Libyan gig, just some of those old F-18s we got from that place north of Mexico before you get to Canada, oh it's on the tip of my tongue, that country where they keep arguing about whether their president was born yet.

                Locusts devastate our crops every alternate Tuesday to keep us on the straight and narrow. Isn’t that standard everywhere?

                  No churches in Spain? I though you could throw a rosary over there and never miss one.
                  May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

                    Your photo is very fetching but I must admit to being a male who's not that way inclined - don't get me wrong, I don't hold anything against gays though, that's how both they and I prefer it.

                    The Bible traveled with us to Spain. Next year we hope to get something called the internet that the Red Cross is introducing here, and then I can buy a new one from amazon, glory be to God.

                      Back of beyond half-way up a mountain in the Región de Murcia. Any suggestions welcome - composing sermons just for my wife is hard work.

                      Yes, never thought of it that way, being weaned is neat.

                      See I'm learning already.

                      I was afraid that would come up. The KJV verily makes my head swim. Must admit to owning a NIV.

                        You're right about the buildings but now only around 14% of Catholics attend church regularly here. Many associate the RCC with the hated past of Franco and in any case have a hankering for condoms.

                        The average age of priests is 68 - in a country where everyone is oriented around family it's not hard to see why men prefer any other career.

                          I should hope you do not hold anything against Homers! That would be disgusting and an abomination in the eyes of Our Lord! But Why do you prefer it? What about being Gay excited you? It makes normal men like me vomit

                            Tiempo, when you are not waiving a red cape in a large arena to aggravated a bull, what else do you people do over there? It seems like it would be hard to get any shopping done with bulls constantly running loose in every city and every street. I know a couple who were planning on a trip over there to get one of those leather things you people drink wine out of, but the wife is terrified of bulls since an animal husbandry incident several years back left her in a near comatose condition.

                              You should visit Spain then, gay marriage is legal here. Theirs is always the best team at Carnival, dressed as show girls dancing to a Diana Ross or Beyonce track.

                              Well, except for the straight guys pretending to be gays dressed as show girls of course, but that goes without saying.

                              PS: Can't find a way to reply to your PM - thanks for the award, that was very kind. We’re on a dirt track nine kilometers from the nearest web station and connect via a microwave link.
