Re: Hello there!

...Paul preached about not being too foreign to those to whom we're commanded to reach out. I mean, how do I know when to balance...

Balance, schmalance! Earlier today, I was in San Francisco's Mission district, surrounded by illegal immigrants who didn't speak one word of English. Do you think that prevented me from whipping out my trusty Radio Shack bullhorn and preaching to them for two hours en Inglés?

You'd better believe it didn't!

Re: Hello there!

wow. that makes me really sad. I think it's amazing that our sin has such a large effect on those around us, even those unborn.

but if it's, say, my great-grandfather's hatred of God that caused my brain to not fully develop, does that mean that God still hates me? I really don't want to go to Hell because of something my ancestors did. It just doesn't seem right.

Well then I suggest you refrain from fornicating or committing adultery, because if you do that, you could spawn ten generations of descendents who are doomed to eternal hellfire!

The government used to ensure that people like you would never reproduce, but that was before the maniacs from Planned Parenthood flip-flopped and decided "reproductive freedom" meant not only the right to kill unborn children, but also the right to have as many kids as you want, even if you're mentally deranged or a Chinaman.

Re: Hello there!

I do have Asperger's Syndrome, however, which can make it very difficult to communicate and behave properly in social situations...

Well praise Jesus! There are numerous social situations in which it's not "proper" or "appropriate" to share God's truth with people.

For example, just last week, I attended a funeral for somebody who had not accepted Jesus Christ as his personal savior prior to his death. Boy, oh boy, if you could only have seen the way his friends and family looked at me when I expressed my sincere condolences for the fact that their loved one was now burning in Hell!

They got angry and we almost came to blows before I was escorted from the premises, but I have faith that I planted some good seeds in their hearts and minds.

So instead of viewing this aspberger's disease as a handicap, I say turn it to God's advantage! If you don't know your witnessing is upsetting people, that's all the better, as you will not be distracted by their foolish feelings!

Re: Hello there!

Also I have a burning question in my heart but I'm not sure if I should ask it here or create a new thread for it, so I'll ask it here: I understand that sin can be a cause of things like sickness, disease, etc., so when I was born was it sin's fault that I have Asperger's? If so, who's sin was at fault for it? I can't possibly see my sin being at fault for my condition, because I had never done anything before being born (obviously) but already had the condition. I get so confused sometimes when I pray about it and read God's Word but can't find an answer.

Probably your grandfather or your great grandfather hated God:

Exodus 20:5

5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

Re: Hello there!

Assberger's, huh? Which type of retarded is that?

It means that when my brain was forming in my mother's womb it wasn't all formed when I was born. Chemicals like adrenaline and endorphins are never in balance like they should be, as a result (there are other results too). So, God hates me because I don't have a complete brain? But doesn't Psalms 139:14 say that He made me wonderfullly? How can he hate me if he made me that way? Please help me understand. I'm just so much more confused now.

Also, a note: the scripture you just referenced was talking to Aaron, about people with "blemishes" not becoming priests. "He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the zmost holy, and of the aholy. 23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that bhe profane not my sanctuaries: for cI the Lord do sanctify them"

So in other words, according to that scripture, I'm not allowed to go in unto the vail or altar, which as a layman I have no problem with. Do I misunderstand?

Re: Hello there!

I don't know what the first is (and probably don't want to know, it sounds quite ungodly). I do have Asperger's Syndrome, however, which can make it very difficult to communicate and behave properly in social situations. I'll try my very best not to offend anyone accidentally!

Re: Hello there!

I don't mean to argue, I just didn't understand about the evils of music. I'm sorry. I do wonder, though, where it says "...[churches] imitate the world and expose their young people to all kinds of rock and roll music...." in a negative way. I seem to have trouble finding the verse but I really thought that Paul preached about not being too foreign to those to whom we're commanded to reach out. I mean, how do I know when to balance acting in a fashion similar to the world (in the world but not of it) in order to help them see Christ's message with preaching just the straight-up Gospel? I've always struggled with this and would greatly appreciate some input. I mean no disrespect, I just never seem to get it right.

Re: Hello there!

I'm not gay! I don't have a husband!

Well thank goodness for that! At least that's one hurdle we don't have to overcome. Surely, though, you must have other problems you'd like Jesus to help you with. Why don't you tell us about them?

Are you a whoremonger, for example?

Or suffering from any type of deformity?

That's like saying you don't believe the actual SOUL counts!

Re: Hello there!

That was very long. I fell asleep and woke up and it was still there.

I'm very sorry!

So tell us, how many godly sons have you born your husband for Christ?
What housework is your favorite?
How do you like to pamper your hard-working husband?

Wait, I see now. These are just anti-bot questions. you scared me at first, I was like, I'm not gay! I don't have a husband!

Re: Hello there!

well, I'm sorry, I don't believe the actual sounds of the music count, just the words. It's the words that tell us what to believe or not to believe, and putting God's Word to song is something the Psalmists did on a regular basis. Not all the music ApologetiX does is rock and roll, in fact. I bet, if you listened to their music, you'd find at least one song that you'd appreciate.

Anyways, about myself and not them: I'm a son myself so I don't have sons. And as far as hunting rifles, I have no idea. I'm not big on killing things unless they need to be killed (for various, God-given reasons of course) and so hunting is not exactly a favorite pastime. I suppose any hunting rifle that simply killed the animal being hunted, without wasting too much meat or time, would be the best.

Gosh I hope I don't have to go name a rifle, do I?
