HI!

Re: HI!

No, I know that habit very well from other women, but my dear, that isn't what God intended for us. You cannot put yourself equal to a man! We are the weaker gender, we do not have the same intelligence and strength as a man. We are only the supporter for the men and those who give birth to their sons. You should really think about what is more important to yourself- your salvation or college and a filthy lifestyle?

I appreciate your kindness, but I know that not every one is that trustworthy enough to put all of your eggs in one basket. I see it everyday.
And I'm afraid you contradicted yourself when you said that we're weaker, yet we support men. And you mustn't think that you're below men. :'[ I think you're very strong, Sophie. Strong in your beliefs and what's in your heart. I admire that. I don't want to mock your lifestyle or culture because it could be different from mine. I live in an individualist society. And a society that supports capitalism. So that's just my way of thinking. I think I will have salvation as long as I am a productive member of society, and try my best to treat other with kindness. Y'know?

Anyway, I'm going to sleep! Good night! Nice talking with you.

Re: HI!

Another allusion to Once Upon a Time? The Biblical view of marriage is not so glamorous. You will be required to submit to your husband as you would submit to God (Eph 5:22). Can you live up to Prov 31:10-27?

10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

This is what the Bible requires of a wife. Once you are married, you will never have the option of getting divorced (Mat 5:32), unless you commit fornication, in which case you will be damned (Rom 1:29, 32). You must bear many children, preferably sons, for your husband (1 Tim 2:15). You need to have a realistic (i.e., Biblical) understanding of marriage, and if you're 20, then it's past time for you to start getting acquainted with your duties. Marriage is not a fairy tale.

But marriage is a lovely thing. And I do hope that once I do get married, we won't get divorced. That's why I want to be careful that I will chose a husband and we will love each other forever.
I'm under twenty. Still a kid. Not even living on my own yet. I do have a realistic understanding of marriage. It's about two people who love and support each other in the sunniest of days and darkest of nights.
I don't want too many children that we wouldn't be able to take care of them.
But I do want children someday.
Not yet. Not until a long time. :3
Good night! nice talking with you!

Re: HI!

My dear child,
you seem to be horribly misled. All this entertainment like Harry Potter are seducing children to believe, witches and wizards are good! Everyone knows, that J.K.Rowling is a disciple of Satan. I hope for your own sake that you will stay away from this things or you will burn in hell.
How old are you? I am 24 years old and I am happily married. If you are going to high school, you are definitely not too young to be married. I met my husband when I was 15.
Why do you even plan to go to college? Our place is at the side of our husband, giving him sons for God's army and caring for his needs.

Genesis 3:16

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be * to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

Well witches and wizards don't exist, so I guess it's up to the author if they're good or bad. Jo is a wonderful woman! She's done a lot of great things and she's shaped a whole generation.
Maybe you're from a different social/geographical culture than myself because where I'm from, we tend to wait until our mid twenties to get married. I'm not even a legal adult yet.
Perhaps that's your place and what you want to do with yourself. I respect that. But my own intentions are different. I want to go to college to get an education, and to eventually make a living, a name for myself. I wouldn't want to depend on a husband just to have a roof over my head! Children are honestly not on my mind right now. I'm still a child myself, and I must enjoy it while I can. :3

And to aUniversityStudent: How dare you? She would burn for this not according to us, but according to GOD. Who are you to question our Lord?

Re: HI!

I'd like to take you seriously, Emily, but I see you promoting a lot of secular entertainment. I fear your spiritual life must be suffering. If you were doing what God wanted you to be doing -- getting involved in church activities, reading the Bible, praying, cooking and cleaning for your husband, raising children -- you wouldn't have much time for these other pursuits. You seem to be obsessed with Once Upon a Time, and you claim your location is Storybrooke, Maine. I don't know about you, but I've got better things to do with my life than stare at Lana Parilla's cleavage and watch stupid fairytales. I'd rather be doing something worthwhile like reading the Bible. Please at least tell us what denomination you're affiliated with. I'm also disturbed that you haven't found Jesus; you claim He was with you all along. Please explain how that works.

I'm quite spiritual. So spiritual that reality annoys me.
I participate in my church's choir!
I'm way way way way way too young for a husband and children, but it's a pretty thought. I'll get back to you on that one in a few years. But I do like cooking. I made a whole batch of cupcakes for my mommie's birthday last weekend. Cleaning... well... eh. I won't get into that. xD
But I enjoy having time for my hobbies. Especially theatre as that is what I intend my career to be.
I do love Once Upon a Time right now! I don't think fairytales are stupid. :[ They're simply beautiful! Lana Parilla is a very beautiful and talented actress. She's phenomenal!
I'm Christian, but I respect all other's beliefs!
I just have that feeling that someone's watching over me. That what ever happens was meant to be because of God. It's comforting. <3

Re: HI!

Hello! I congratulate you on not giving away personal information on the internet and being so honest about yourself otherwise. There is nothing shameful in protecting that which is important to you.

I have been here for only a day and am learning so much. Although Christianity doesn't seem what I thought. Prepare for a storm of posts condemning you to hell for your choices. Pretty much all of the movies, music, and books you mentioned will no doubt be condemned as satanic/pagan idolatry. None of those bands use exclusively C Major songs with no minor chords or accidentals, so Evil. That makes you Evil, and you're going to hell. At least according to some. Not me.

http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?p=956482#post956482

My personal advice is keep your mind open and learn as much as you can. There is never enough to be learned about the world we live in. good day. -aUS

Re: HI!

Dear girl,
where are you from? You didn't say that in your introduction.
And as a caring woman, I advice you to burn and forget most of the books, movies and video games you listed. They are leading to hell and are not appropiate for a decent christian Lady . Where are your parents? They should take care of you and what you are doing.
Instead of "enjoying" this bad things, you should read the bible more often.
And why are you not showing a picture of yourself?
Are you married/engaged yet?

I'm from the U.S. Southwest area.
Actually, most of those things have a lot of significant things to say!
I guess I can't really defend Regular Show, but it makes me giggle, so I like it!
My parents are at home, I guess. I don't live with them, I live with my Gram.
I don't enjoy bad things. xC Especially compared to some of my other peers! There are so many juvenile delinquents at my school!
Oh, no! I'm not even twenty yet! I am too young to be engaged. I want to wait until I find my Prince Charming to think about marriage. Plus, I don't want to rush into anything while I'm young. My brain isn't even fully developed yet. I definitely don't want to get married until after college.

HI! I am Emily!
I'd rather not say what church I attend over the Net. Sorry. :/
My favorite Bible verse is:
Genesis 1:1
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
I love it because it is the real-life "Once Upon a Time!" As if we were in our own story and we're all strong supporting characters, and God is the ultimate author!
It's simple, but I love it!
I don't think I "found" Jesus, but that he's always been with me since the start! BUT! You could say it was reinforced when I was baptised.

Hmm. Other things about me is that I go to high school.
My favorite current subjects are: AP Psychology, Advanced Theatre, History, AP Composition and Literature, Chemistry, and Algebra (when I can actually understand it. It's tricky, but I get excited when I finally get it.)

My favorite musicians/bands are:
Muse
Loreena McKennitt
Pink Floyd
Adele
David Bowie
Alice Smith

My favorite books (Other than the Good Book) are:
The Phantom of the Opera -- Gaston Leroux
American on Purpose -- Craig Ferguson
The Great Gatsby -- F. Scott Fitzgerald
1984 -- George Orwell
The Harry Potter Series -- J.K. Rowling
Brave New World -- Aldous Huxley
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland -- Lewis Carroll
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas -- Hunter S. Thompson
Candide -- Voltaire
Okay, okay, so I have a lot of favorite books. I'll stop now. xP

My favorite movies are:
Any Johnny Depp movie!
Any Tim Burton movie!
Mary Poppins
Matilda
Rebel Without a Cause
Napoleon Dynamite
A Little Princess

Fave T.V. Shows are:
21 Jump Street
The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
Regular Show
Once Upon a Time

Fave Video Games:
Pokemon Emerald Version
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

The things I love the most are: attending church, singing/acting, drinking tea, studying about the Victorian Era, reading, sleeping, and learning about other people! I'd love to learn about you guys!

By the way, for those of you wondering about my picture, it's not me. It's from the 2004 film version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera. The actress is Emmy Rossum as Christine Daae! My dream role!
