Re: Goodbye

I changed my mind, the conversation here is quite engaging and I couldn't bear the thought of leaving you all behind.
Pastor, allow me to add onto what you have said, then. The Bible was written by forty people, huh? When? A very long time ago, in a language you do not even speak, yet you believe that you know exactly what it means? You must be a master of Hebrew, then.
And it has been altered so many times over the years... how do we know what was changed, added, removed, or left alone?

**"Noobs" please read this before posting.** SERIOUSLY!

This answers all the things you have ever asked.

Re: Goodbye

The man who wrote the Crucible did his research beforehand.

The Crucible is about a gay English pastime called "snooker", where you hide your balls, and the commentator goes:

"That's not quite what he meant though."

Some of the folks looked like this:



That's what old gay people need to "pot".

Did you think we were born yesterday?

Re: Goodbye

I vote that we all start imagining what sort of punishment God has in store for me. The more creative, the better.

Sweetheart, there is no imagination or creativity required. We know what God has in store for you, because He already told us:

2 Thessalonians 1:9

9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Here in the mortal realm, destruction is a temporary thing: Something gets destroyed, and then it's gone.

In Hell, on the other hand, you will experience the excruciating process of your own destruction FOREVER.

Maybe that looks different for different people; perhaps if you were an Irishman, for example, you would be forced to spend eternity not drinking whiskey. If you're a Frenchman, maybe your personal Hell will be eternally taking showers until you don't even have a hint of odor. If you're a nubile, seventeen year old girl who comes on here sexing it up for Satan, maybe your eternal destruction is to spend the rest of eternity being sodomized and orally copulated by an endless precession of swarthy complexioned, well hung sailors?

I don't know what your eternal destruction in Hell will look like, and I don't care. The bottom line is that it will be very unpleasant, and it behooves you to avoid it at all costs. By accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior. Right now.

None of that answers how you know for sure that the Bible is true just because it says it's true. Again, anyone could write a book that SAYS it's true. Or any group of people.
Also, I loved this line:
You are not going to convice us with appeals to science. We accept the Truth of the Bible over the findings of science. When the findings of science conflict with the teachings of Scripture, we will reject the findings of science every time.
That is incredibly narrow-minded. We are learning a lot more than people in Biblical times ever knew. They wrote only what they knew. Of course something is going to come along that disproves it. For example, we now know exactly what sort of genetics is involved in reproduction. When the Bible was written, they knew nothing about that. But are you still going to say there's no such thing as genetics just because the people who wrote the Bible didn't mention them? Again... that's just plain ignorance.
That would be like Isaac Newton saying, "Okay, this is my theory on gravity. If this is ever refuted in the future, ignore it. I'm still right, because I know everything, and the people who experiment with it years from now won't have better equipment and knowledge at their exposal."
In simple terms... you don't like being proven that you're wrong. I already knew that, but it's nice seeing it laid out nice and simple.

And I don't know anything about snooker. Looks like Pool or Billiard to me. Now I know you're just messing with me, a simple Google search reveals that The Crucible was written by an American named Arthur Miller during a time when the country was in fear of attack by communists and were constantly trying to hunt out any that lived in America. The 1950s, I believe.

Yes, but the Bible wasn't written by just anyone. It was written by the supreme being of the universe. Any time you examine a claim, you have to look at the credibility of the author, and I can't think of anybody I trust more than the omnipotent being which created all things.

The Bible is the moral guide for something over 3 Billion people alive today. What else is there to know about it that proves The Bible's critical importance?

I don't know how the other people on this thread can stand it. I haven't gotten through A SINGLE ONE of your idiotic posts without wishing that I hadn't STARTED it!


Seriously, I'd rather have all of my teeth pulled out with rusty pliers than read ANYTHING you write!

That was pretty clear...

But OK, you meant this guy?

I think it'll have something to do with a really sharp pitchfork... some shackles... and an endless loop of Rick Astley singing 'Never Gonna Give You Up' while I beg for it to end.
Ideas?

The Bible indicates that Hell is God's vast Lake of Fire.

After He judges you, He will cast you into it, along with all the other sinners. There, you will be burned alive, never being consumed, unable to die, and with no chance of escape. The only "music" will be the shrieks and wails of unbearable agony emitted by you and your fellow sinners.

Sound like fun? Your future -->

Re: Goodbye

This is fun, you're all being so delightful. So just because a lot of people believe in something, that means it must be true? A lot of people thought Barack Obama was gonna be the greatest president ever. So I guess that means he is, right?
And Captain... the feeling is mutual.

How could you compare people's thought over Obama, to that of his majesty Christ JESUS??

Obviously not or Muslims would also be right and that can't be so.

Re: Goodbye

Hello friends, and Unsaved Trash. This entire thread clearly shows how warped and delusional people become when they don't understand the True meaning of the bible. When anyone goes anywhere except Landover Baptist, they hear a false prophet quoting something from our holy KJV. He will never quote every verse or explain every meaning. Anyone afraid to share the entire bible without biases, but does so to their own gain, is a false prophet by definition. Plain and simple. God gave us every single word for a reason, because when they are not all used, man is able to capitalize on some words to confuse and manipulate people. They are used to divide; thus conquer and rob their victims of not only their time, but a predesignated portion of their income as well. God didn't want this so He had the whole thing written, translated, and published KJV so we can have the whole thing! This is why this teenage trash is confused. Because everyone except Landover Baptist is using the bible to control and manipulate their followers.

Unsaved Trash, please, please try and understand what it means to be a True Christian. I'm new here, but I may be able to bid you good advice. If at any time you feel angry/offended/hurt than you got the point. If you continue feeling angry/offended/hurt than you missed the point completely. Thank God for Landover Baptist.

Re: Goodbye

Wait a second.
A few days ago, it said 'repulsive teenaged whore' next to my name. Now it's back to 'rabid teenaged godmocker'. Make up your minds, which am I?
And I love how you guys are all about taking the bible COMPLETELY LITERALLY. Okay, let's do that, then.
1 Peter 5:8
So, the devil's a lion, then? Every lion that roars is the devil? If we're going to take the Bible literally, that's what that means, right? You know, I made a comic about you guys, which my friends found very entertaining. I think I'll share it with you, I think I captured the general beliefs of this site very well. The stick figure with the brown hair represents me.



Quite accurate, no? I am such a bitch!
