Re: Hello!

No, I don't know anything about being Christian, which is why I came here to learn.

Though I have mostly been treated with incredible hostility instead of welcoming arms, and to be quite honest I feel I would be much happier in Hell if heaven is filled with people like you.

Do you always address your betters with this kind of back-sass? This is exactly what happens when children are not brought up in the Church.

If you mistake our Christian Love for hostility, that is only further evidence of the distance you place between yourself and your Creator. We scourge and chasten unsaved trash like you because we want you to join us in Heaven, pressed against Jesus' bosom for all eternity, singing praise songs.

Hebrews 12:5-8
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

[Rev. M. Rodimer]

What hostility have you seen?

Tell me, if you were driving down a road in the fog and I knew the bridge ahead had been washed out, would you think it "hostile" if I ran out waving in front of you to stop you, yelling to warn you? Or would you consider it "kind and loving" for me to just wave as you sped on past to certain doom?


You come in with excuses, claiming that you "haven't had an opportunity" since you were a child to go to a church or read a Bible. Hogwash!

Do you think God will accept your lame excuses? "Yeah, God, I want to go to Heaven, but I really needed to watch Jersey Shore instead of reading the Bible or going to church! See, I was busy!" Do you want to take that chance?

And now we're "hostile" for pointing out to you that your current path will land you in unending torment?

If I saw you about to steal a car, and I knew there was a video camera trained on you in the parking lot with a guard watching, and I told you, "Hey, if you steal that car, you will be caught and go to prison," am I being hostile or judgmental? For warning you of the certain consequences of your action?

Re: Hello!

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

1st Timothy 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.


You need to start producing soldiers for Christ NOW young lady!


And don't give me all that education, career nonsense. Where in the Bible does it say a women should have those?


Titus 2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Re: Hello!

I've also never read the bible, but I believe completely in Jesus.

How?

Re: Hello!

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

Oh dear.

So already the Jesus you made up in your head is failing you.

I wonder why.
