Hello all.

[Boring Jerry]

Hello to everyone here. I was encouraged to post here by Pastor Zeke, and tell a little about myself. My name is Alex, if you havn't guessed, I'm an 18 year old male. I live in Washington, but I'm originally from Chicago. I'm agnostic, and pretty firm on staying that way. I just came here to get other's opinions on things of interest. I do not do drugs, nor have i ever. Any questions, just ask or IM(its in my profile).

Thanks,
Alex

Re: Hello all.

Why do you hate Jesus, pal? Doesn't His temporary death on the cross at Calvary mean anything to you? Is your father satan?

1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23:Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

Re: Hello all.

Ok, Alex, welcome. Your intro post was going pretty well until you got to the final contraction. I was going to give you five gold stars for accurate posting, but that will have to wait.

For now, keep studying and praying. Good luck on reaching your goal.

Re: Hello all.

What contraction? When I said "Thanks"?

Re: Hello all.

What contraction? When I said "Thanks"?

No, at the end of the post, inside the parentheses, you wrote its when you meant it's (a contraction of it is). When you make errors like that thousands of people out in the networld have to try to understand your meaning.

Even if you aren't here to meet Jesus and help yourself, the least we could do is instill in you a desire to be heard clearly and understood. Writing clearly is the first step in being an active participant in the world; if you can't be bothered to care about what you write, what makes you think that other people are going to be interested in it?

p.s. Thanks is not a contraction. Every time you spell Thank's you owe me 5$. I'll take my payment every June 1.

Re: Hello all.

My bad, my mind was somewhere else (mainly thinking about what to eat). But I'm pretty sure that is one of my only grammar/spelling mistakes since I've been writing here.

Re: Hello all.

Alex B asked me to add him as a friend. I am wondering why.

I do not know anything about this guy except that he has a tacky good old boy car pic in his profile. Has anybody received similar requests?

He's a Christ hater and unsaved trash Sister Roberta. The sunglasses you have on tend to "get the motor running" of wanton sinners. I suggest you refuse his request and then post a stern rebuke in his profile.

It should be "others' opinions" i.e. the opinions of others. God gave us the American language at the time of Babel, please do your very best with His Gift.

Now tell us, why agnostic? We see few of those strange heathens here. It strikes me like a man who has seen an elephant in the room yet can't believe it because he has not seen one there before. Well, obviously you see the failed logic - everyone has to see something the first time.

So you've seen Jesus and yet you still don't accept Him as your Way to Salvation. Curious!

Re: Hello all.

I'm surprised I missed that error, but plural final s apostrophes can be tricky if you're not paying attention.

Re: Hello all.

Well, to answer Roberta, I just thought it would be nice to have friend who is a member, but is also easy on the eyes. I am not lusting after you or anything, and I don't think it's fair what Deaner said.

I chose agnostic because I just don't believe any religion is "right" so far, but I am open to any good, valid arguments that may convince me otherwise.

As I said about my last grammar/spelling error, I had my mind on what to eat at the time I wrote this. I'm sorry for having it there though, I should have caught it before I posted.

I think we can all understand that! It certainly is hard to concentrate when your mind keeps wandering off to thoughts of chocolate chip pancakes or fried chicken!

Welcome to the board Alex_B. You seem like a bright young man. Please let us know how we can help you in your search for Truth. May the Light of Jesus' Love guide you Home to Heaven!

Re: Hello all.

Thank you very much, you and Nobar are pretty much the only people that have been nice to me on this forum so far. And chocolate chip pancakes sound delicious right now.

Re: Hello all.

Don't thank us, thank Jesus for even allowing you to be born much less make it to 18 years old.

Re: Hello all.

I would, but since I'm not a Christian I'll just stick to thanking the people that are nice to me.
