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.

Re: Hello!

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

How?

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!

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.

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?

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.

You are welcome here if you are willing to learn.

But so far all you've said is that if any parts of the Bible say things you don't like, you want nothing to do with them.

How are we supposed to take that?

It isn't very conducive to being a True Christian, and until you are willing to put yourself aside and put GOD first, you will never be a True Christian.

Re: Hello!

Please don't confuse biblical facts with hostility.

If someone yelled at you to get out of the way of a charging rhinoceros, would you thank them or complain that they hurt your ears?

Re: Hello!

My parents were letting me find my own path in life. I do not hold it against them.

If a bus, or perhaps a dogsled or snowmobile, hits you tomorrow while you cross the street, and you die, and God tells you that He is going to burn you alive for all eternity in His Lake of Fire (as promised in the Bible) for your disbelief, will you still be glad your parents "let you find your own path" straight to unending torment?

Re: Hello!

Then you cannot be one of Jesus' disciples.

Luke 14:26
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Do you even know the first thing about what it means to be a Christian? It's not all sugar plums and lollipops, young miss.

Re: Hello!

Where in the Bible does it say parents should let their kids "find their own path in life?"

I have never heard that verse...

Here is what the Bible does say:

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. - Proverbs 22:6

Obviously your parents did not ingrain Bible Truth into your brain deeply enough, or else you would never have abandoned it.

You'll never know just how "loving" God can be unless you read the Bible.

You can do so here:

Re: Hello!

Your parents sound like worthless human beings. The way I see it, they should be brought up on charges of child abuse and neglect for failing to see to your spiritual upbringing. It's time you find yourself a new family.

Matthew 12:47-50
Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

My heart rejoices that the LORD has brought you here, but you must commit yourself to rigorous Bible study so that you actually know what it is you profess belief in before presuming to fellowship with us.

I Timothy 4:13
Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

Ignorance of the Word is no excuse.

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.
I've also never read the bible, but I believe completely in Jesus. I am here in an attempt to better start a connection with Him and myself.
