Re: How do you guys know its Jesus?

Just remember this is the introduction forum. You're here to tell us about yourself. You're obviously not a Christian, and you admit you don't know much about the Bible. But you say you're not an atheist and that people's religion is influenced by where they live. So what is your religion?

Well yeah, my situation is quite weird, but right now I have no religion. I want to make sure that the god I worship is the true one, so right now, I guess that Christianity makes the most sense.
Like I said, I feel strongly about Christianity, so i guess that I am on the right path.

Re: How do you guys know its Jesus?

Hello Moltor. I just want to tell you that I am a Forum Member and I did not get that rank by being a total piece of shit towards new members like you. I promise. I try to tell people about Jesus and the Bible and sometimes it is a little tough but I have to be truthful. There is a Bible verse that I like Proverbs 11:3 here it is.

The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

I have already made the catholic woman down the street mad and I have made the jewish woman down the street mad and I have made the colored girl who works for me mad but I think that was because of a Lincoln vampire movie I showed her.

There are two Lincoln movies do not get the one where he is holding a bloody axe.

Thank you.

Thanks for warm words, sir Russell Holbeck. Now that's the way to welcome new members. Yeah, preaching can be harsh, especially when people don't take you seriously. I think that online preaching could be more to your liking.

Re: How do you guys know its Jesus?

Dear "Moltor",

That strong feeling you have is caused by the Holy Spirit pushing you into the right direction towards salvation. You should trust that feeling, the same feeling that guided you to this forum, and start studying the Holy Bible to learn about God and what He wants from you. Doing this will be the difference between eternal happiness in Heaven and eternal damnation to the fires of Hell.

Unlike what some false Christians like Catholics and especially that extremely liberal Pope try to teach you, it is very important to study all of the Holy Bible and not just the parts that make you feel good. To help you in the transition from someone who rightfully feels Jesus is guiding him to a True Christian I would advice you to study Biblical Facts which contains some highlights from the Holy Bible in a compact format. After reading it you will no doubt want to do more Bible study for which I recommend my How to Study the Bible guide. If you have some doubts as to Christianity being the only true religion, just read about The Miracles of Jesus and all your doubts will disappear.

Yours in Christ,

Pastor J.C. Manning, M.D., Ph.D.

First of all, I want to thank you for your kind words, Pastor J.C Manning. I can feel that I am driven by something, to this glorious forum. To be honest, I think that my doubts, are just a result of bad media influence. Public schools are the same, at least here where I live.

Re: How do you guys know its Jesus?

Hello Moltor. I want to be honest with you I thought there was no hope for you but now I feel that there is hope for you. I once was smart like you but I had an accident it is a long story.

I did not walk with Jesus before the accident but now I do so who is to say what is smart and what is not. I was given a Bible as a joke in the hospital but now who is laughing. I do not mean to say that laughing is better because there is a Bible verse Ecclesiastes 7:3 that says.

Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.

I do not pretend to understand what this means maybe a pastor will come along. I know that I have had laughter and sorrow and I prefer laughter even though my photo looks sorrowful. I was happy when that picture was taken. My face muscles are messed up.

Thank you.

I think its too early for me to know if there is hope. If religion isn't able to back up its statements with reasonable logic, its expected to be called a cult. Christianity however, makes perfect sense, so I guess i made the right choice to let the Holy Ghost into my whole being.
As for that verse, I think that it just wants us to say that when we are happy, we take everything for granted. We absolutely forget about God, and our roles. It doesn't mean that we should be sad all the time, just to be aware of the sin, that happiness sometimes brings with itself.

[Russell Holbeck]

Re: How do you guys know its Jesus?

Hello Moltor. I do not think you can apply logic to religion any more than you can apply logic to for instance love or art or weather. There is a Bible verse that contradicts this it starts out Come now, let us reason together, but I do not have it marked with a Post-It note.

You should believe the Bible before you believe me.

Thank you.

I believe this is the verse you were referring to, Rusty:

Is 1:18-20 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

This is not the kind of reasoning Moltor is referring to, so it's not a contradiction. God reasons with His people thus: be obedient and everything will be okay; rebel and you will be destroyed. When we reason with God, He does all the reasoning.

There are many verses that speak against using logic to understand the Gospel. This is one of them:

1 Cor 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Man in his natural state cannot receive the truth. It seems foolish to him, however much logic and reasoning he applies. He cannot know it without the Spirit.

[Russell Holbeck]

Re: How do you guys know its Jesus?

Hello Pim Pendergast. That is the Bible verse I was thinking of I have now marked it with a Post-It note. After your explanation I agree with you that there is not a contradiction. I think that we can both agree that logic is not required though especially after you included 1 Corinthians 2:14.

I still believe the weather is not logical.

Thank you.

Re: How do you guys know its Jesus?

I think its too early for me to know if there is hope ... I guess i made the right choice to let the Holy Ghost into my whole being.

These two sentences are contradiction. If you have received the Holy Spirit there is hope.

Christianity however, makes perfect sense

If Christianity makes perfect sense to you, that is a sign that the Spirit is working in you. See my reply to Rusty above.

I want to make sure that the god I worship is the true one.

Let's face it, Moltor, you already know God exists. He has revealed Himself to you through creation.

Rom 1:18-20 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.

It is the height of wickedness to suppress the truth, what you know in your heart: that God is real. Deep down you already believe in God. You just have to stop denying it. Can we remove that obstacle? But belief in God's existence isn't enough to save you. Even demons believe God exists, but they aren't Saved™.

Jas 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

All you have to do, once you have acknowledged what you already know, that God exists, is call on the name of the Lord.

Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

You could do that right now. Don't put it off. You could die tonight.

Lk 12:19-20 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee.

Re: How do you guys know its Jesus?

Well, now I feel better. I just made some progress. I just don't know why my profile picture is changed, and why did I get that infraction. When someone tells me that I am gay, of course I am going to be rude to them. I think that I should become forum member now, because there are other stuff I would like to discuss with you guys.

Re: How do you guys know its Jesus?

Those who have homosexuality foremost in their minds are usually homosexual whether they admit it or not.

Absolutely correct. I make a point of being watchful for such types and make doubly sure my young, naive, nimble fingered young Nephew knows about them, too.

Never let your guard down :anger:

What's wrong with being gay? Obviously there is plenty wrong with being gay, I just wonder why you think that.

Now you are feeling better about it and making progress with your homosexual urges, I think you owe me an apology.

Don't hold your breath, Brother Donkey. These kinds of people won't even apologize to Jesus for making Him cry.
