New to church

[Sampson123]

My name is johnathan I am an orthadox baptist.
I started attending church regularly about three months ago. I have made mistakes in the past such as being envious of others and nearly succumbing to temptation. Thankfully The Lord was watching out for me and I still retain my purity. I know that is important if I am to be saved. I started attending worship and sermons in hopes they will help me avoid the evils of the world. I am relitivily new to knowing God so I may not know as many scriptures as I need to. I'm trying to take steps to develop a relationship with The Lord in hopes I will make it to heaven. The past few months have changed my life for the better and I cannot believe the amout of sinners I'm exposed to everyday!

Anyway that's my introduction. If anyone has advice or important scriptures for me don't hesitate to inform me. I've just started worship recently so anything that can strengthen my faith is welcome!

Orthadox? Relitivily? Amout?



Listen up sunshine: throw your crack needles away and start reading the Bible!

It's not too late!

(Acts 17:30-31) "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead."

Yours in Christ,

Re: New to church

Hello. There are a lot of false "churches" teaching from The New Testament only, they say that The Old Testament no longer applies. I hope the one you're attending is not like that. However there is much to confirm our faith in The New Testament of course, the historical account of Jesus (obviously) and the ministry of The Holy Ghost. But Jesus is the central figure—not only of The Bible but of all history—and He is in Heaven now as we know from this testimony:

ACTS 1
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
KJV

There are so many doubters, not to mention outright heathens, who deny Jesus is in Heaven and this passage refudiates their lunatic babbling. Outright.

It also confirms the historical account of Noah and of God's Just Retribution.

What sin did this poor boy commit to have God smite him so hard with the retardedness?

Re: New to church

Look here, swami; I don't know who you are trying to fool, but it won't work.

You reveal yourself as unsaved when you speak of "orthadox baptist(s)". What in the world might that be?

The Lord God has a special place for those who attack and make sport of His people. It's called Hell. Don't go there; it's too hot.

Re: New to church

Hello Johnathan, and welcome to our friendly forum! I'm so glad you have your purity intact. This is something the LORD is very, very serious about. The LORD watches over us, and is for some mysterious reason, really invested in our purity. Your intrinsic value as a human being is intimately tied up in whether or not you have ever "been" with a woman (or your own self, if you know what I mean). I'm glad to see your worth has not been wasted in the warm body of a wanton woman.

Re: New to church

I meant to say orthodox Christian. Being new to god I may mispeak or in this case mistype.
By unsaved I have not been baptized and under accordance with my church I must fufill certain requirements.

Romans 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

I thank anyone who welcomes me into this forum with open arms.
However those who are doubtful of me and my faith, I understand as well. You are following scripture. There are people out there who desire to mock us faithful and devout. I hope in time that you will see that I am not here to fool you for sport or make jokes of your beliefs.

Colossians 2:8- Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Welcome to our Friendly Forum.

I hope that any errors you make do not lead you to eternal damnation. The Bible is the Perfect Word of God, follow it to the letter and you will not stray.
