    Now, why not tell me what's really bothering you.
    I just don't understand how unwarranted name calling like eskimo squaw helps anybody come closer to God, maybe you can help me understand. As I have stated I have lived in Ohio my whole life...and well I don't know I just have never experianced Christianity in the sense of belittling and degrading others, it feels wrong to me. Does that make sense?

    Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

      Not really, I mean, the Pastor asked a simple question. Your user name gives the appearance of being a full name, like mine. I'm clearly a white American from European descent, as you can tell by my name and photo. But what kind of name is Rn? It's an honest question, I think. Squaw just means "woman."

      Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

        April, I have been delighted to meet you and you were a joy to be around. I have been praying for you and your situation with your future husband, and I hope that he will find the way, and the truth, and the light. In the meantime, do not let your heart be troubled over things that are not under your control. Give your worries to God and let Him comfort You and fill you with peace as only He can do.
        In Him,


        Irinka
        Irinka,

        Thank you for interceding to God for myself and my family, you do not how much that means to me. I will do my best to give it up to God. I wish you all the best in the world my friend.

        Until we meet again,
        April

          I have tried to explain the Pastor, I think probably 3 times that RN is not my last name and its frustrating really I am a nurse RN stands for registered nurse

            Well I don't know what to say, dear. This introduction thread is more about you than Jesus, and that makes me uncomfortable. It makes me think you're not really Saved© after all, and that He does not, in fact, hold you in His Hand. It makes me think you believe you can trust your own thoughts about matters and not His. How can you be sure you're Saved©, if you cannot trust your own mind?

            The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
            Jeremiah 17:9

            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.
            1 Corinthians 2:14

              What do you think was going through Jesus's mind while He was nailed to the cross? "Gee, I wish I could 'cut and run' as this is unpleasant'?
              No, He had iron nails through His hands and feet. He left them there.
              Then you whine about how you feel guilty for not being a Christian and that you need to go where you are appreciated. Amazing.

              Friend, God makes us work for His Love. He never promises us we will get it, ever. All you can do is devote yourself to Him 110% and pray that come judgment day, He takes pity on your soul and grants you access to Heaven. What do you think He is going to do when he reviews your transcripts and sees such a weak backbone. Don't you think having Jesus die for you is a waste?
              Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
              Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
              Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
              Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
              Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
              Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
