Re: Hey!

Questions: I go to a catholic school. There is a religion class. It is extremely catholic. It's aura resonates in every word I read. Failure of this subject gets me kicked out of school. Do I do well? Or do I choose to ignore it and fail?

Nick, you will see a lot of rhetoric here about the catholics, I come from a different perspective and you will be told in no uncertain terms not to listen to a word I have to say.

Your dilemma is that you want to do well at school but the religion class is problematic for you as you do not believe the party line that is being spoon fed to you am I reading the situation correctly?

If I am then let me share this with you , I have relatives that got sent to catholic school, they too did not believe a word of what they were taught in religion class, but because they did nor believe it they where in a better position to understand it then those that did so came top of the class, which some what pissed off the catholics.

Re: Hey!

...I am angry because I was abandoned as a child by my father...

That sucks, and it's NOT your fault. Nobody gets to choose what family they're born into.

I don't understand what you mean by the bolded sentence. Otherwise, it's a school course, and your grades may have an influence on your future opportunities. So do as well as you can. Just because you know it, doesn't mean you have to believe any of that crap stuff.

I chose to say that I am 17 so that I could be taken slightly more seriously. I am angry because I was abandoned as a child by my father. Questions: I go to a catholic school.

Catholics are not Christians. According to God's Holy Bible all Catholics will burn in Hell! Why? Because they added and removed all kinds of things to God's Holy Bible which is not allowed as God explains in 2nd Timothy 3:16, Deuteronomy 4:2, Revelation 22:18-19 and Psalm 12:6-7.

So you have a choice here. Read the Holy Bible for yourself and figure out what Christianity is really all about. Or disable your brain and believe whatever crap those Catholics are force feeding you.

Re: Hey!

I will assume you are all right because you all truthfully cite God's word without flaw.

Correct.

I lied to you all. I am not 17, I am a mere ******** and angry 15 year old who is not happy with his situation. I am truly sorry for giving you a false age.

Why did you lie to us? Why are you angry?

Unfortunately, I feel it would take more than knowing my hobbies are a sin to make me stop.

Yes, unfortunate.

Re: Hey!

Over the last 24 hours, I have been disgusted with things on thiss forum I have read. While I still do not completely agree with everything I read, I will assume you are all right because you all truthfully cite God's word without flaw. While I will not stop gaming and listening to heavy metal, which I am listening to right now, I will pray for myself. I also wish to "clean" my slate. I want to restart here, as I don't think people will want to help me with my problems and try to save me if I rebelled at all of you.

I lied to you all. I am not 17, I am a mere hormoanal and angry 15 year old who is not happy with his situation. I am truly sorry for giving you a false age.

While I will not participate in the hosing of people who sin, I will not side with them.

Unfortunately, I feel it would take more than knowing my hobbies are a sin to make me stop.

Re: Hey!

The dangers of role playing games have been well-documented on this site, and in other True Christian resources.

It is not a difficult issue.
These types of games make witchcraft seem harmless and fun, when the Bible explicitly tells you to avoid such things:

Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God. -Leviticus 19:31

You may think it's okay as long as you aren't really a witch or wizard:

Abstain from all appearance of evil. -1 Thessalonians 5:22

Role playing games are a worldly distraction that won't further anybody's salvation:

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. -1 John 2:15

Part of being a True Christian is making sacrifices for GOD.

You have to throw out your satanic music, abandon all your unrighteous hobbies, and say goodbye to sinful friends who won't convert.

It won't take you long to find new and exciting JESUS-centered activities to replace the old, sinful habits.

For instance, instead of playing "Dungeons and Dragons," you can enjoy playing a Bible verse memory game!

Replace your collection of sinful rock and roll with good old southern Baptist toe-tapping songs of salvation!

Of course all you need to replace your collection of dangerous books is the Holy Bible KJV 1611.

I hope this helps!

Re: Hey!

Welcome Nick!

You seem to be angry young man. I can sense it. But God did guide you here, so maybe we can overlook that certain attitude towards you betters - You did come here and you already think that your wishy washy church is not for True Christians.

And to answer you, once you are True Christians, you have many things to enjoy without sin.

I see my name was changed involuntarily. I choose to not get angry at whoever did it, but, I do not believe in voodoo. So I do not believe I am being controlled by the music I listen to.

Re: Hey!

It seems everything derives from something sinful at it's root.

It may seem that way to someone who is enamored of worldly things, but when we shun worldly things and seek Godly things instead, it ceases to be an issue.

So is this to say that simply due to roots, any enjoyment we get, is at the root, evil?

Absolutely, without question.

Matt 7:17-18 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

If that is the case, we all enjoy evil.

That's not true at all.

And if Joe Bonham, a real character, was destroyed due to god, we should all be in hospital beds, limbless.

I haven't read your commie book, so I don't get what you are saying here. What bearing does the fate of some character from some novel have to do with the real God in the real world?

Re: Hey!

My questions are, though, is enjoying the sound and not the lyrics of Black Sabbath and Slayer a sin?

It's not a sin, but it can easily lead to sin if you aren't saved, and I can't imagine why a saved person would want to listen to it.

The sound itself is actually much more dangerous than the lyrics. Rock and Roll has its origins in Voodoo ritual music. Take a look at this and this.

Re: Hey!

Is that bad?

Well, considering that the Bible says that we are not good enough for God (Rom.3:23,Eph.2:1,Rom.3:10,Isa.64:6,Rom.3:19), and that we must repent of our sins and be born again to be saved (Mark 1:15,Acts 20:21,Acts 26:20,2 Tim. 2:25,Heb. 6:1), and these self-esteem gospel churches preach the exact opposite of that (you are good enough for God, no need to repent, come as you are) -- yes, I would say that's bad.
