Hi!

[LetMeMockJesus]

Hello everyone!

My name is Martin and I'm new to this forum. I've been reading a few threads here and all I can say is that I am extremely intrigued. I want to understand more about your points of view.

About Me: I am 24 and just graduated college. I am not particularly religious, but I didn't come here to argue or prove anyone right or wrong, I came to understand. I hope that I can have some reasonable discussions and see what you guys are all about.

Since this is the introduction part of the forum, I'll start a new thread for my first topic. I look forward to speaking with you all! Thanks!

Don't you worry about going to Hell? Jesus died temporarily for your sins: why do you through it back into His face?

How could you be worried? You either love Jesus or you hate Him. There are no half measures.


Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. - Revelation 4:11
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: - Colossians 1:16
The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. - Psalms 24:1
For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, - Psalms 95:7
The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. - Proverbs 15:3
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. - Matthew 7:21
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. - 1 Corinthians 10:31
I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. - Isaiah 42:8

Why did you ask me if I was worried, when your next question assumes I cannot be?

Also, aren't we capable of half measures? If you do not love something do you inherently hate it? I do not love you, but I do not hate you. I do not love my car, but I do not hate it. Is there scripture to support that if we do not love Jesus then we hate Him?

Note, I am not rejecting your posts, just trying to understand them.

Also, is this forum officially associated with LandoverBaptist.org?

He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad - Matthew 12:30

The bible clearly states that you can either accept his love and join him in heaven or reject him and burn in hell like the immoral sinner you are.

Thank you, Archtintis for responding my question however, it is not a satisfactory answer.

I asked specifically about love and hate, not about being for or against, or the consequences of either choice.

To be "with" or "for" someone does not require you to love that someone. Likewise, to be "against" someone does not require you to hate them.

We are taking 100% literal interpretations of scripture, correct? Again I ask, is there scripture specifically adressing that if one does not love Him then one must hate Him?

There can be no half measures in God's eyes.

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Re: Hi!

Friend, all you need to do is read the Bible and follow the simple rules contained within. No magic or hocus pocus. Very, very simple, written for the lowest common denominator. Any questions?

Now THAT actually answers the question, thanks.

My other question was:

Is this forum officially associated with landoverbaptist.org?

No, at one time we were.

So, is it safe to assume that, while the .org site is a self-proclaimed satirical website, this forum is actually not satirical in nature?

.org is a enterprise, orginally a 'front door' where decent people could find like minded Christians. We are .net. If we were the same, donelt you think the web address would just a slash away? Find any ads here? Friend, we are as devious as the Holy Bible.
