Re: Hello!

Psalm 26:2 is asking the Lord to examine your heart and your mind to prove you are worthy of Him. I've always interpreted it both physically and emotionally- that your brain and heart are in good condition and that you have a heart full of love and and a sound mind.

Not bad. The mind is actually the kidneys in the KJV. That is what the reigns means.

Welcome again and enjoy your stay.

Re: Hello!

Wonderful! You mentioned that you love Psalm 26. Personally, I prefer Psalm 58.

What does this verse mean?

Psalm 26:2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

I must respect the privacy of minors, it's terribly easy to track people online these days :/

Thank you.

I didn't know there were any mines still operating in Ireland. And if there are, why would you keep it secret?

Re: Hello!

I can say Protestant, if you like, though in this day and age it is difficult to agree with any church. They've all gone quite liberal.

Re: Hello!

Praise God and welcome. What denomination is your church?

See? He won't say.

Re: Hello!

I was raised Catholic until I was ten years old. My parents died in a car accident. My aunt and uncle were kind enough to take me in, but were not going to allow me to continue to be Catholic. I have been an Evangelical Christian since I was eleven, and had learned about how Catholicism was wrong.

Re: Hello!

A catholic church that uses the KJV? Or were you a Christian at one point? So what are you now? Are you a catholic or a Christian?

Your tale confuses me, lad.

The privacy of minors is not a euphemism for anything.

Re: Hello!

I am aware that praying to saints is a sin, when my parents died my aunt and uncle were kind enough to read the KJV with me and help me understand it. They took me out of public school a year and devoted my studies to bible lessons.

Re: Hello!

Hello Freddy McGuinness. I do not understand how putting your church here is against the law but I do not know Irish law. I do know that there are a lot of Irish policemen in the movies and on TV.

I am glad you are not a catholic person. They pray to statues and one of the Commandments tells you not to do that. I can look it up for you if you want me to. It is in the Old Testament.

Thank you.

Re: Hello!

Welcome, friend.

Why are all Irish surnames brands of beer with mick in front of them?

Serious question, not a setup for a joke.

Wait, I think I know the answer.

Nevermind.

They aren't all brands of beer with 'mc' or 'mac' in front of them, but I'll admit mine's a bit stereotypical.

Thank you for your words of welcome.

Re: Hello!

There is no Martin McGuinness in my family. Thank you for being so welcoming.

I am unsure of who your response of "Unsaved not welcome" was directed to, Pastor Ezekiel. I am Christian, so am confused if it was meant towards me. If it was directed towards my comment about the forum's publicness; anyone and everyone can read these posts as long as they are literate.

Thank you both for your responses.
