Re: Hello!

I wouldn't call Christ "loving" if He wanted me to live my life according to what another human deemed appropriate.

Who cares what you think? Who are you to judge God? It's what JESUS thinks that counts, not some addle-brained girl who gnaws blubber for breakfast.

Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Re: Hello!

Mm, yeah. That bit won't be affecting my life any time soon.

So you admit that you only follow the parts of the Bible you agree with, not the ones that might inconvenience you.

Typical liberal.

So you're saying that you've chosen to spit in Christ's loving face rather than submit yourself willingly to God's commandments...

I see.

Re: Hello!

I don't need a man to decide things for me, thank you.

Ah, see, that's where you're wrong little lady.

1 Corinthians 11:3
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

1 Corinthians 14:34-36
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

Re: Hello!

But if you're unfamiliar with the Bible and Church, then how would you be able to judge? And where is the man in your life to decide these things for you?

Because I have had friends who have left the churches because they were unfit.

Re: Hello!

I'm pretty sure my hair's got nothing to do with it. I just hadn't seen most of these churches around, though a couple of them I know have strayed from strict Baptism.

Library, any bookstore, amazon.com, borders.com, bn.com, or online for free at bible.com or biblegateway.com. Or your local Baptist church.

And free, with commentary, from either of the links in my signature!

Oh, thank you so much.

Now I know for a fact that there are Independent Baptist Churches up there in Alaska. Are you trying to say that none of them allow Whites?

Or could it be that you were barred entry into God's House because of the moss and mold growing in your hair?

That's what I was thinking it was, yes.

I'm not sure! I've got to find one first.

Re: Hello!

I have, though, chosen to ignore the bible up until now. It was only recently that I started feeling like I was wrong in my convictions.

That's Jesus speaking to you, telling you that He is real, not just some fairy you can make up for yourself like Zeus or Allah!

So, how much of the Bible are you going to read daily?

[sunfordays]

Re: Hello!

I suppose I could, yes, but I have not found any churches here that made me comfortable.
Many churches here are Korean or a sub-category of Christianity, and that is not what I am looking for.

Re: Hello!

My name is Kate, and I currently don't attend any church. My parents stopped taking me when I was very little and haven't had the opportunity to go to one since.

Do tell, how is this possible?

Were you incarcerated?

If you wanted to attend church, you could very well do so.

Would it not be more accurate to say that you have chosen not to go to church since your parents stopped taking you?

You have chosen to ignore God?

You have chosen to make up a God and Jesus in your head, who happen to agree with everything you think, rather than devote just 15 minutes a day to reading the Perfect Word of the Creator of the entire Universe?
