Re: Hello

Being raised in a Christian family, I've more or less have known Jesus my whole life. I was baptized last June.

Well congratulations! Can I assume your church is a KJV1611 only Independent Baptist Church?

Re: Hello

Hmm, I see.

With the sarcasm(which some people take as rudeness), how are you expected to carry out the "prime" directive?(Matt. 28:19) I'm sarcastic, but religious discussion is not a good place to use it. It doesn't take an astrophysicist to figure out that if you want someone to trust and believe what you say, to be at least a little bit nice.

Also, is it bad that i'm tolerant of people? I have a non-judgmental, live and let live personality. Isn't what the Lord wanted was us to be disciples and to preach his word, but not carrying any prejudice to gender, race, religion, or sexuality. I mean, that's how I interpret it. What about you?

So my quotes from the Bible are 'sarcastic'?

Perhaps you can help me, where does the Bible tell us to interpret it? Even though I have read it thousands of times, I seem to of missed that part. I have always simply done what God instructed me to do. Who am I to second guess and think I know better than Him.

Re: Hello

Oops, mea culpa.

I go to a Church of Christ congregation. Favorite verses being Luke 6:27-38

That's better. Now, when were you first touched by our sweet merciful Lord and where did he touch you? At home, at church, somewhere else?

Re: Hello

Hello everyone.

I'm not here to bash or force my ideas on you, but would you please answer some questions that I may have in regards to your congregation?

Let's start here.

Why are y'all so judgmental, doesn't it say in the Bible to love your neighbors and not to judge?(Luke 6:37, Matthew 22:36-40) :/

Here, I cut and pasted this for you, since it's so hard to find AT THE TOP OF THE DING DANGED PAGE!!!

The introduction forum Attention Unsaved Trash: This the ONLY subforum you can start threads in. Here is where you introduce yourself. Tell us what church you go to and what your favorite Bible verse is and how you came to find Jesus.

Re: Hello

Well! Aren't you Special!

Leviticus 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

Psalm 37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
John 11:8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear unto this day.
1st Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1st Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Deuteronomy 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
