I'm new

[Tjoneo]

Hey guys.
I go to church every sunday, at a church in Loesning, (I'm from Denmark btw).
My favorite verse is Matthew 5:44, because it shows me I shouldn't be angry when people tells me Jesus isn't the way, that I should love people who hates me, because they're in a dark place, and Im not.

I've always believed in Jesus, God and the holy spirit!

Welcome aboard, Tjoneo! How many sons do you have, and what is your favorite brand of hunting rifle?

Re: I'm new

Thanks Faith_Machine (: !
I have 2 sons, Michael and Sebastian. I do not own a rifle, since I have bad experience with firearms.

Michael is a fine Godly name but what's with Sebastian?

What happened?

Sebastian is the name of my great grandfather, who was and still is a great inspiration for my entire family. He loved Jesus, and lived by God's words to the letter and told nothing but the Lord's words.¨

What happened?

Me and my wife got mugged once. The thief was holding a gun to my wifes head and said if I didn't give him my money, credit cards, car keys and my watch, he would blow her head off. I gave him the objects he desired and nothing bad happened to me and my wife, but that has still been the most traumatic event so far in my life.

Fair enough! He seems like a fine gentleman. You're bound to be familiar with the Holy bible.

Numbers 25

This is a fine tale of how God wants us to live our lives in purity and honour and how those who are zealous in punishing people who would infuriate God are duly rewarded. How does this fine tale set your soul aflame for Jesus?

1And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. 2And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. 3And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel. 4And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel. 5And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
6And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 7And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; 8And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. 9And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.

10And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 11Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. 12Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace: 13And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.

14Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites. 15And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.

16And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 17Vex the Midianites, and smite them: 18For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.

Oh my goodness, that's horrible! I can't help but point out, however, that if you'd been carrying a gun, you could have blown that sucker away!

Heck, you could have just told him, "Go ahead and shoot my wife; then you'll owe me fifty shekels!"

I’m sorry to hear you have dangerous minorities as well See, if you’d have carried a loaded gun you could have blown his head off before he’d even approach you; the more guns the more safety ! I hope self-defense is not a crime in darnmark?

Yeah, I'm familiar with it. It's funny how people refer the number 25 as the biblical number for forgiveness of your sins, and not how God gives what sinful deserves...

You gave away your car keys and credit cards?

If your wifes faith in Jesus was true, the gun shot would not kill her and God would of healed here. Why have you so little faith in Him? You make baby Jesus weep.

I made the descission to give up my belongings, not my wife.
I know I should've trusted God, but I know that what I did, God wanted me to do it, give up my things, learn to live without it, give me a lesson, I'm sure of it!
God gives all of us lessons throughout live!

But you choose to ignore and thereby fail this one. What makes you think you know better than God? He gave you the car keys and credit cards. Through faith, we know He heals those that believe in Him. Once the keys and cards are in the angels pocket, they are gone. His gift to you would of been a test of your love for God. But instead, you slapped away the love of Jesus. It is very disappointing. Do you honestly thing God is going to let you have a 'do over'? Of course not. Thoughtout life, God gives you many tsts, each designed to test your resolve. It is not up to you to choose what tests you will take and which you will not.

Re: I'm new

Know one knows better than GOD! (Are you a heathen or so? Why would you even suggest such a thing!)
The guy was chaught, and I was given back my belongings.. I know no better than God, but I see it as a sign that I've been given a second chance!
