Hello, new here and all that.

[harland]

Never before have i seen a Christian forum. An odd sort of place, i read some of the posts before i decided to add my self to your little community. I would like to add before i even get started that i am Christian. Granted that im not as "devout" as many of you seem. I have many flaws wich only God him self can fix. I AM saved by the LORD our savior. So please refrain from preaching to the quire. There were a few things here that shocked me. First i noticed that some folks in these forums are not banned for being jerks, to put it mildly, and elietist snobs. Christ if some have forgotten is abou the forgivness of sin through the most Righeous of all sacrafice. Salvation does not = that you can be a total JERK to any one that you feel, we are all GOD's childern good and bad. And only 1 man is condemnd to Death, and that is Satan. The rest {all of us} have to choose our path, i personally choose God. The rest is up to you. I am not angry, i am not upset. An old proverb goes as such. You can win more with honey then Crap. I am not saying Christians are suppose to be a pushover, i am quite the opposite, but a little polliteness and patients will win many. Rude behavior and Vile attitude are disgusting and drive some folks from the lord. IT is your job as Christians to spread the word to those who seek it. It is your Job as Christians to emulate Christ's behavior as best you can. It is your Job as Christians to be "Christlike". Please dwel on this for a few minutes before flaming my post.

Re: Hello, new here and all that.

Dear Friend,

Thank you for allowing us the benefit of your unsolicited advice! My favorite sort of guest is the one who is no sooner in the door than he starts bossing people around. If I might return the favor:

1. You can turn your lazy "i" into a full-fledged, grownup "I" by pressing Shift at the same time.

2. I agree that we should refrain from "preaching to the quire," as a quire is one-twentieth of a ream of paper. Perhaps you were thinking of a "choir"?

3. Please report all "elietists" at once. I thought we had stamped out that particular heresy.

4. In English, there is a "t" in "about," two "e"s in "forgiveness," and a "t" in "Righteous."

5. When you mention "the most Righeous of all sacrafice," I assume you mean my becoming a True Christian(tm) eunuch for the glory of God?

6. "Children," not "childern". And, unless you're Shakespeare, which I somehow doubt, "condemnd" needs that second "e".

An old proverb goes as such. You can win more with honey then Crap.

7. Ah, the poetry of the proverbs!

Yours in His Disappointment With You,

I'm not sure how a bunch of cripples and retards will win over anyone.

Time's up!

Friend, what is your favorite Bible Verse? Shouldn't we concentrate on Scripture, instead of calling acetic acid "Crap"?

Re: Hello, new here and all that.

Granted that im not as "devout" as many of you seem. ... I AM saved by the LORD our savior.

I have caught you in a lie. If you were really saved, you would not be able to help but to be as devout as we are. No one can receive such a great gift from God and only feel lukewarm about it. If you were saved, you would be on FIRE for the Lord.

I pray that you will read this and take it to heart.

There are literally hundreds of millions of professing Christians in this world who believe that they are worshiping the one and only true God. However, ...

The author of that article is off by an order of magnitude (that should read "billions", not "hundreds of millions"), but the message is 100% sound.

Well if I see a quire I'll keep your sagacious advice close to heart. In the meantime, since you have come in and made your pronouncements...What exactly were you looking for here or did you just make an account to tell us how we have it all wrong?

There were a few things here that shocked me. First i noticed that some folks in these forums are not banned for being jerks, to put it mildly, and elietist snobs.

Well let's see...we try not to ban anyone without a fair chance. When I say "we" I, of course, mean our hard working moderators. This is a forum and the atheist "elite" do try to bend us to their will...They are, of course, often offensive.

I am not saying Christians are suppose to be a pushover, i am quite the opposite, but a little polliteness and patients will win many. Rude behavior and Vile attitude are disgusting and drive some folks from the lord. IT is your job as Christians to spread the word to those who seek it.

Who are the patients you are talking about? Do you work in a hospital? We would be happy to spread the Word to your patients.
We are to be Christlike? No we cannot be God. We do as we are instructed and live our lives as sin free as it is possible to do...realising of course that we are all sinners. When judgement is called for and it often is: then we rebuke in righteousness.
Titus 1:9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both exhort (call out for or plead-point out) and to convince the gainsayers.

Thus we are taught that when we believe we must hold fast to the words...We have to then spread the word.

Revelation 3:19 - As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

Here Jesus is telling us He will rebuke and chasten even those He loves. He strongly urges zealous repentance.

2 Timothy 4:8
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.



Here we have scriptures that support that the righteous shall be ordained to judge. All those who love God and do His works.



Another thing is this: many people confuse rebuke with judgement. Rebuke is not judgement. Rebuke is a warning...judgement is a sentence or punishment.
