Hello Brothers & Sisters in Christ!

[Victorious_One]

Hello! My name is Victorious_One, because I am one who is victorious in Christ! I have overcome many sinful obstacles in my life and have been redeemed, I am fairly still new to God though. I was saved last year, currently attend a church called Harvest in Riverside, CA. Lately I've been missing due to work. Currently there is no fav verse but my fav book right now is Genesis, reason being is because I can't believe God has loved us so much that He created us! Amazing!

Hope I can fit in, I've been looking around and it seems okay.

Re: Hello Brothers & Sisters in Christ!

I too am a big fan of Genesis. I love the way the solid firmament keeping out the waters above debunks space travel so I can stop thinking about it. In what ways does the reality of how God made the world help you find peace?

Re: Hello Brothers & Sisters in Christ!

Genesis shows us His love for us, He created ALL things with perfection. He decided to create not only the Heavens and earth in all it's beauty but LIFE! He created us to rule over all His creation, to help see it good! His love for us even when we sinned, He punished us and that is LOVE. Without punishment there is no love, no learning from your Creator. Genesis is filled with countless things He's done to show us His love.

Such as?

Don't forget, many of the people who visit this site are unsaved, unschooled drooling atheists. They know nothing of the wonders of the Bible.

Genesis 12:17-19
17And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife. 18And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? 19Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way. 20And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.

God's justice in punishing Pharaoh for fornicating with Abram's wife when he pretended she was his sister so as to trick the Pharaoh into not killing Abram to seize her by force as was right and proper... It's a wonder and a joy!

Welcome, Victorious_One! Glad to have you here. I'm not sure how you can be missing church for work, though. God told us to keep his Sabbath holy, so why are you working on a day on which you should be praying?

Sometimes there's no choice, either I go or lose my job. If I lose my job due to missing work, I do not get paid and finding another job would be difficult based on my firing.

Welcome to the forum

Your avatar is the painting of God from the Sistine Chapel by Michaelangelo (albeit reversed). What are your views on displaying images of God? What do you think ours are?

All the best

Welcome, VO...

It must be tough trying to follow Christ in that LIEberal big hippie commune known as California, which is just a tuberculosis breeding ground for illegals and their sick, runny-nosed babies to spawn more disease.

As you probably know, it's important to stay away from the ice cream men and any Mexican food, friend.

If I had a holy balance in front of me and on one side I put "Lost my Job" and on the other side I put "Lost my salvation" ... I would get my life into gear and find a new job. Being a rentboy is one thing, but at least take a full day to recognize the Lords greatness. If your pimp doesn't understand then it's their loss.

Also, think about a retraining program, homosexuality can be cured, I wouldn't have you over for dinner or shake your hand, but at least you can feel better about yourself.

Exodus 31:15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

You're playing with fire here, friend. I hear what you are saying but...

Numbers 15:32-35
32And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. 33And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. 34And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. 35And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. 36And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.

I'll leave the final word to the Lord Jesus:

Matthew 6:25,30-34
25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: ) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Everyone has a job to do and that is what God wants. If a person fails at doing that, God can smote them with a lightening bolt in a split second (I have seen it many a time). So I work only when I have done everything I can for Him. As I travel about the magnificent US of A, transporting religious items to the needy (Rev. Osborne, I have your order from Singapore, yes, I have been putting in food and water, it will be at your estate Wed.) I spread the love of God to every shallow, empty soul I meet. Sometimes, it is just a few fellow truckers in the back of a cab over laying of hands and fervent prayers.

Other times it has been a virtual Jamboree of people, praying to Jesus with a giant bonfire.

But just like with Jello, there is always room for Jesus

Re: Hello Brothers & Sisters in Christ!

I hear you brothers, I will have to pray on this. I usually never ever work Sundays or Saturdays but lately work has been a pretty heavy load. I'm an auto mechanic for GM, so there's a lot to have to get through.

Nobody said getting with the Lord and throwing off the shackles of secularist brainwashing was going to be easy...
