Re: Hey there, LBC.

Ken, tell me how you deal with being a Baptist and going to a technological school. What classes are you taking? What do you think Gods thoughts are regarding your behavior?

Re: Hey there, LBC.

Read the Bible, sonny. Just read it. Cover to cover. I guarantee you that by the time you get to the bit with the giants and the unicorns you'll appreciate why we find God so fantastic and want to share our appreciation of His reality with the world.

I already do share the word of the Lord, and I love doing so!

Why?

Why wouldn't I? I want to be assured that what I believe in is the truth. Simple as that.

You came to the right place, friend! I'm a bit worried how expressive you are in saying you question your beliefs, though. My husband always says, "an open mind is Satan's playground!". What you need to do is blindly accept the entire Bible for what it is without question. And welcome to the forums!

Don't be worried, I don't question my beliefs nearly as much as when I was a younger lad. Having the influence of going to a public school all my life doesn't help with having consistent religious beliefs without looking into them beforehand. As I said above, I want to be assured that what I believe in is the truth.

Ken, tell me how you deal with being a Baptist and going to a technological school. What classes are you taking? What do you think Gods thoughts are regarding your behavior?

Being a Baptist at a technological school is easier than you can imagine. There's all types of religious groups around here. All the friends I hang out with are Baptist and have the same beliefs as me. I'm taking all normal classes, just like in grade school. What do I think God's thoughts are regarding my behavior? I'm sure he's proud that I've switched to Baptism disregarding my parent's influences!

Son, why are you trying to lie to us? Earlier you said you haven't strayed from the religious upbringing of your parents.

I was raised by good christian parents and ultimately decided to follow him when I was young and haven't ever questioned that decision.

So you never questioned your religion, but you do. You haven't strayed from the religion of your youth, but you have.

It's all very suspicious. Did you think you were the first God-mocking atheist to come here and pretend to be a Christian just to mock those who are truly devoted to the LORD? Why? What do you get out of it?

Re: Hey there, LBC.

Ken, I think you are trying to pull wool over our eves.
Deuteronomy 22:11
Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.

Now Ken, everyone knows that 'Science and Technology' goes against the pure and honest teaching of Jesus and the Holy Bible. It is like horseshit and ice cream. They simply do not go together.

I'm sorry, Mary, but you shouldn't be debating again'st me. It's not working out for you and you're just making a fool out of yourself.

"Earlier you said you haven't strayed from the religious upbringing of your parents."

Where are you getting this from? I first said that my parents are christian and I strayed away to become a baptist because that's what I believe.

"So you never questioned your religion, but you do."

Where did you get that from? I've fully admitted to questioning my religion and ultimately deciding that Baptism is the correct way to go. I'm not sure that you're reading my posts correctly, do you mind re-reading everything?

Without technology, there wouldn't be this website. There wouldn't be computers in general. The Baptist population has by far grown from the technology improvements since it allows people to research the bible.

Why does everyone here insist on arguing when I'm agreeing with your views? I don't understand...

Friend, you are digging yourself into a deeper pit enroute to Hell. Are you sure that is the path you want to take?

I'm digging myself deeper into a pit enroute to hell? For what reasons, exactly? I'm simply defending myself again'st everyone's hate that for some odd reason is being pushed onto me. I haven't done anything on this forum that would result in me going to hell, nor will I ever! I'm not going to change my religious views again unless the users here prove to me that Baptism isn't the way to go.

Re: Hey there, LBC.

Why is this buffoon trying to convince us he loves the word of the Lord?

1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

It's obvious he is prepared to turn his back on simple wisdom like that found in Genesis.

You don't know me. All you know is the 10 or so posts I've made on here. You can't judge that I'm prepared to turn my back on my own religion! How dare you say that about me... that's truly hurtful. I'm disappointed in you for saying that.

Ken, you lie and try to obfuscate the Truth(r). Why is that?

We are Baptists. Why would we not want to add to our loving flock?

If you do not think you are going to Hell, whay are you studying 'technology' and not the KJV Bible at a decent place like Libery U.?

You know Ken, it is not our opinions that matter, it is Gods. Where in the Bible did it instruct you to do the things that you do? Simple question, being you claim to be a Christian, the answer should be easy for you.

This isn't a debate forum, dear. It's a church forum where True Christians™ come together for the sake of worshiping Jesus and sharing with the world the glory and majesty that is the Holy Bible.

"Earlier you said you haven't strayed from the religious upbringing of your parents."

Where are you getting this from? I first said that my parents are christian and I strayed away to become a baptist because that's what I believe.

I'm getting these words from your own post.

I was raised by good christian parents and ultimately decided to follow him when I was young and haven't ever. questioned. that. decision.

"So you never questioned your religion, but you do."

From your own post.

I see you've fully admitted to questioning your religion. But you see, you also admitted to never questioning your religion.

That makes you a liar.

God hates lying.

Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.
Proverbs 12:22

It's not too late yet, dear. Repent, confess your sinful ways, and accept the LORD Jesus Christ (the real one, not the one of your imagination) as your Lord and Master. Join us in Heaven for an eternity of Praise!
