Re: An apology - I Looked at the Pictures in the Bible and I Think I Like it.

If you think I should take an English courst, then of courst I should.

I've been poking around the site and it seems that God has some laws and we need to abey them and if we don't we will go to Hell.

Does that mean we it is okay to be gay as long as you don't do gay sexual activity?

God in his Almighty acknowledges that Satan may afflict a few people with gayness and that is not a sin. Gay activity (such as bumming) is a sin:

Leviticus 20:13
If a man also lie with MANKIND, as hee lyeth with a woman, both of them haue committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shalbe vpon them.

All the best

I'd strongly recommend an English courst.

I have done a lot is soul searching and I hope I will be worthy of Jesus's forgiveness.

I fully intend to devote my life to Jesus and will not be going to uni this year as I want to Become an active part of the south street baptist church.

This will take a lot of my time but I will bend over backwards to be a devoted member of the baptist movement.

You might do well to take some classes part-time. I'd strongly recommend an English courst.

You haven't yet figured out that verbs ("become") are not capitalized, while proper nouns ("Baptist", "South Street Baptist Church") are, because they are proper nouns.

What can I do to prove myself?

Read the Bible.

Not skim. Read.

Here's what I recommend you do. Set for yourself a goal of reading the book of Genesis this week.

As you read each story (Genesis is mostly stories), keep a notebook handy. Write down a brief overview of the story and where it is. Just a sentence or two; for example, "Noah's Ark, Genesis 6-8, God drowns all people (even unborn babies) and animals because the adult people won't obey Him."

Then, and this is the most important part, write down what the story tells you about God. Personality traits, what things He values in people, that sort of thing.

Friend, I promise that by the time you finish Genesis, you will have a far deeper understanding of who God is than you do today, and you will finally realize why we are so angered by the warm fuzzy "all-loving" lies fed to congregations by false Christian preachers.

You can share what you've learned here in this thread once you've finished Genesis.

If reading the Bible by yourself seems daunting, check out the links in my signature for some great resources to help you get started.

Then I won't do poetry, I will try to be a Christian, definitely no poetry from me.

I'll get reading the bible, where is a good place to start, can you give me tips?

Genesis 1:1 is the traditional starting point

Re: An apology - I Looked at the Pictures in the Bible and I Think I Like it.

I do want to try and I will do the best I can.

I write poetry but don't know what that has to do with God. It seems I must not interpret the Bible but read it as literal. Poetry is about emotions and expression (which I'm good at) and I may write some later.

Re: An apology - I Looked at the Pictures in the Bible and I Think I Like it.

Why is Noah standing at the tiller? I don't remember the Ark having any means of propulsion (no sails or engine) so no movement = no steering control = no point to having a rudder at all.

(I am overlooking the fact that the sternpost rudder was a medieval invention - watercraft of Noah's time would have used a quarter rudder or plain steering paddle)

Usual dumb atheist rubbish. That's the front of the boat (in technical terms the 'pointy end'), you can tell by the waves crashing into the front causing a bow wave.

That's not a tiller, there was no need for one as God guided the Ark, it's actually a flagpole which doubled up as somewhere for his doves to sit. And before you ask, no Noah didn't have a flag, he ran out of time to get his wife to make one because she was too busy chasing animals - especially the fast ones.

Do I have to explain everything? :exasperation:

Re: An apology - I Looked at the Pictures in the Bible and I Think I Like it.

Have I been reading the wrong Bible?? My King James 1611 Bible does not have pictures. I hope that I haven't been studying the wrong Bible -- I thought I was safe with the "Approved by Landover Department of Security for General Salvation Purposes (1991)" stamp, but perhaps that is a forgery? Can anyone help me out here?

LIES!

Yet another idiot who has a heel face turn all of a sudden and will no doubt flip flop or start writing rubbish poetry in a vain attempt to get get on God's good side in a vain effort to stay free of the bumhunger that comes with atheism and gayness and child abuse and being and adulteress

You've got a long way to go, missy.

All the best.

Calm down Brother Laurence,

Please remember:

Luke 15:10
Likewise I say vnto you, there is ioy in the presence of the Angels of God, ouer one SINNER that repenteth.

The Negress has stopped her poetry and is doing well in her attempt at Salvation™.

Maybe, just maybe, this girl has also truly seen the Light - we shall see. But I agree any signs of poetry and it's straight on the short bus to Hell.

All the best

I hope you do spread wide to accept the Turgid Love of God. Kneel prostrate at His feet, letting His Joy fill your soul.
Remember friend, nothing feels better than knowing Jesus has your back.
