My Intro

[neilestuye]

Hello to all. Neil Estuye here. I attend at a rull Gospel church in North Vancouver, Canada called New Life Alliance Church (NLAC). Both my parents are christian, so I was kind of born into Christianity. Up until I was 16, I was kind of just playing the religion game by going to church each Sunday, but not really understanding what it meant and took to be a real Christian. Fortunately, I've stop going back to my old ways and accepted Him once and for all in my life though prayer. Christians should stay away from that highlighter and read the whole book but since you're asking I guess my favorite verse would be John 3:16. Can I not be unsaved trash now?

Can I not be unsaved trash now?

Welcome
You've got a way to go yet, we don't know much about you.

How old are you? Are you married? How many children do you have being brought up as Jesus' Stormtroopers? Or are you a homer?

All the best

Re: My Intro

Why howdy, Neil.

Sure, you can be something other than unsaved trash. It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope we can be golfing buddies some time in the future.

John 3:16 huh? It's a great choice for a verse. I prefer John 3:18, since it brings in the predestination truth of God's Holy Word.

I take it you have read Pastor Billy-Reuben's syllabus for new posters?

If you have any questions please feel free to ask them or possibly use the search function first.

That's great, champ! You'll be graduating soon.

I had done it at least 22 times by my 17th birthday.

I know, I was a late bloomer compared to some of my classmates.

How about you? How many times have you read your Bible from cover to cover?

And the answer to my fourth question? Just checking you know, God tells us to be intolerant of homers so we need to know before we talk to you.

Leviticus 20:13
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

All the best

Re: My Intro

What's a homer? Anyway, the following is my long intro. (Flashback of the past) Though I did attend regularly, sermons at church were generally going in one ear, and out through the other; I would only be Christian one day of the week. I just didn't have Him in my heart yet. I would go through day after day, constantly convincing myself that I was a true Christian, but not knowing the source for all the doubt: sin. Now I won't go in to all the crap I've done in my early adolescent years, but basically, I was lukewarm, and all I did to mask the fact was to just keep playing the religion game by going to church on Sundays. Lukewarms are spit out by the Lord; I know that now. In retrospect, I've come to realize that God never let up on me. I apologized and asked for forgiveness numerous times, only to sin again the following day. I lacked discipline, and it only got worse as my life went by. But I also noticed that for everyth

I assume your phone battery has expired.
A homergaysexual is what is referred to in the Bible verse I quoted. I'm glad you realise that 'lukewarms' are spat out by the Lord and I am hoping that means you wish to follow his Word to the letter. If so you have come to the right place

What sort of sins did you get up to then you young scallywag?

All the best

I have to say that the phraseology of your missives speaks volumes. How hard can it be to type proper? You seem to the saying the right things but it is almost as if you are dividing your attention between my brothers and something else.

What could be more important that telling True Christians all about yourself?

I do hope the one handed devil of self abuse is not rampaging it's way betwixt your loins, young man!

Praising God is a serious business and every one here don't not take kindly to having our time wasted by the sons of Onan

The Bible tells us a great many things and I'm a wondering what it's a telling on this day?

Re: My Intro

So back at what I was trying to say... God would always somehow never let go of me (another expression of his great love for me), and that he'd show me the way to the path of righteousness. He did this through discipline. I knew the lukewarm way to live was wrong, yet I kept falling into the devil's snare. If I hadn't come to church, if my parents weren't Christian, If I had been born and raised without the knowledge of the Bible, I would have been completely on the wrong side, the side that strays from His word. But my conscience kept telling me that the obvious reason why I'm feeling like I'm a sinner is because I am sinning and straying and if God wasn't in my life I'd have a blind, sinful life. I was loved enough to have God give me that conscience. Being a Christian, God is that conscience, and that's what separates us from all the sinners: they keep sinning because they have no conscience: Satan has control over them. Forgive me if this deviates from His word, I have yet to make significant progress in my life-long goal to live and breathe the word of God. Back to the story... Now I'm not sure if this happened over a span of multiple events or one particular event that God put in my life to make me realize that the life I was living would lead to hell, but for some reason, I wanted to read the bible more, apply its teachings and live a life that would glorify God. It could have been a certain sermon, biblical video, I'm not exactly sure. But I do know that it came from the grace of God. I now know that no one can work their way up to heaven; the grace of God is a gift from him and therefore, no one can boast about their deeds. I gave Him a big thank you for his gift, and prayed that I finally be born again and start things over with Him. Now I am nowhere near that goal if being perfectly righteous, but I'm reading the bible from front to back cover every night, and doing my best to walk and not just talk. I believe I'm making considerable progress. This has been my testimony to tell everyone of how I came to know Christ for real.

Re: My Intro

Mr. Niles, I am in total agreement with you as we should maintain a sense of prevailing professionalism when praising the Lord, please do forgive my lack of sensitivity. And I assure you that I am not carrying out that sinful act as I type.

Re: My Intro

As I wait for replies, I'd like to ask a fundamental question while I'm here: should I read the KJV or NIV version of the bible. I know that the translations of certain verses slightly differ from each other but otherwise they're similar. Right?
