You've got your PhD at 26 years of age? Did you skip undergrad studies or something??

Also, do you think that having a PhD liberates you from following instructions (provided on top of this page, below the banner)?

Why do you choose to sin? Do you hate God, or just enjoy dancing in a flaming pit of abominations for all eternity?

His username denotes a fact, not a choice.

You too, by your definition are a sinner.

Basilissa, I started school at the age of 17, undergraduate studies took me only 3 and a half years to finish, my master degree program took 1 and a half years to finish and my doctorate took 4 years.

Billy Bob, my choice of sinning is non of your's or anybody else's business. However, I don't mind dancing in a pit of abominations for all of eternity.

So you believe God predestined the poor boy to Hell? Don't you believe we have a choice whether or not to sin? If not, how can God hold us morally accountable for our actions on Judgment Day?

How am I a sinner when I follow the entire Bible to the letter? Sin is disobedience to God. Just curious where you are getting such a silly notion.

I see that you are firm in your rejection of God. I apologize for the confusion.

James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

I am always impressed at those who devote themselves to Satan. In a way, they are even more committed to their master than the children of God, because they are willing to burn in Hell for all eternity in his service. I guess I am just a simple man, with the simple wish to be happy and loved by God. Not some insane masochist.

Enjoy your aeternal burning, friend. Let me know if you change your mind and want to hear the Good News.

Re: New here

Welcome friend. Sorry to hear you have wasted the first 26 years of your life when you could of better spent the time praying to God and having sons.
Tell me, have you finally wizened up and turned your life around or are you going to spend all your time on a maryijanna trip looking at spider webs wondering 'Why'?

I was only stating that no-one is perfect, and even you who claim to follow the bible to the letter at times have been guilty of at least one indiscretion. By that definition, you are a sinner. There was no offense intended, just an observation of a rebuttal.

As an atheist, I do not devote myself to Satan, I simply don't believe in his existence. If I did believe in him, why would I support (by all accounts) the losing side?

I'm here for constructive discussion, please don't confuse this with trolling.

Newsflash: True Christians™ are perfect!

As an atheist,

Thank you for clarifying that. I was confused looking at your nickname, because I don't know what an "athiest" is.

Well, we did have some gnostic weirdo here, so we never know what to expect. Anyway, I'm sad that you reject God and therefore chose eterenal damnation. I will pray for your soul.

This forum is not for "discussion." This forum is to praise .

I always seek to understand first, so allow me to clarify. By "guilty of at least one indiscretion" do you mean failed "to follow the Bible to the letter at times"?

Also, by "no-one is perfect", do you mean everyone is "guilty of at least one indiscretion"?

As an atheist, I do not devote myself to Satan, I simply don't believe in his existence. If I did believe in him, why would I support (by all accounts) the losing side?

I am duty bound as a True Christian(tm) to believe the Word of God, which states:

Matthew 12:30
King James Version (KJV)
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

So I have no choice but to believe you atheists are in opposition to God, and therefore on the side of Satan. It is what the Bible teaches.

I'm here for constructive discussion, please don't confuse this with trolling.

I can see that, friend. Thank you.

Re: New here

James Hutchins, I dont see it as a waste at all, and I am sorry that you do. Also, I would also like to add that yes, I am an atheist (should not be a surprise) but I do not intend to troll anyone but would rather just discuss Religion as much of the people on here do. I would also like to add that I have read and studied the bible extensively.

Billy Bob, let me try and clarify what ChurchMadeMeAthiest was saying. Everyone has committed a sin of some sort. He means that at some point in your life, you have failed to follow the word of the Lord which in turn, will have caused you to "sin."

Friend, you hating God places you in no position to talk about His Absolute Perfection(r). Could you imagine a vegeterian trying to talk to a normal person about what the best steak is?

If you had actually studied the Bible, you would know all about Christianty. We'd be coming to you for answers (though God already provided them - In the mighty KJV!)

True Christians(tm) simply cannot be fooled by Satans minions!

Re: New here

You will soon receive the wisdom of the Lord and I pray that you recognize it as such. This is the meaning of "new here" and it is both a challenge and a blessing.

You have come here as a matter of transition, seeking answers that cannot be found by proper education. It is apparent that your manner is insolent and founded in disbelief, and that is not okay, not at all. GOD has certain principles that you must adhere to and if you do not, you will wind up hell, which is where the cows go to suffer the pain of death.

This alone, this is, the mystery of being a coward. GOD is real, and anyone that spouts on about philosophy is chicken shit. The words of both Jesus, His son, and GOD are revealed, yes, REVEALED, in the single syllable sentences that anyone can find in the Bible if they only search for the spirit that is and has been communicating via The Word for all time.

Friend, no one knows better than I that my own past is full of sin.

I was raised by perverse occultists who ritually abused me almost daily. I was trained to worship Satan at a young age, and my rectum was punished when I did not comply. At the age of twelve I successfully invoked the archdemon Belial into physical manifestation, but was unable to control him. So he entered my body and I fell under his consumptive influence.

Belial used me as a mouthpiece of his blasphemous preachments. I was quickly promoted to the highest degree of my initiatory order. I rewrote the bylaws of my black lodge to include mandatory anal sex for all males above the fifth degree. As a result, dozens of men had their rectums infested with semen, blood, drug laced enemas, and even small animals. I drank the blood of humans and animals, and believed I was an immortal vampire. I had even convinced myself and my fraternal brothers and sisters that I could move small objects with my mind using subtle energies. To this day, I am still unsure of this factoid.

I astrally projected my soul into the dreams of unwilling, unwitting victims and forced them to experience horrendous forms of sexual and spiritual victimization. I single handedly destroyed the sanity of dozens of my perceived enemies, all of them failed Christians whose faith was too weak to protect them from dark forces such as those that controlled me.

Then one day I was arrested on a list of charges too long to describe to you hear. The black lodge was disbanded, and I was placed in general population at a Federal penitentiary.

While incarcerated, I was raped innumerable times. Every time I was released from the clinic, my anus was reopened by enormous, insatiable penises that ejected pints of hot semen into my bleeding, tattered rectum. The pain and shame that I underwent were so intense that Belial had to leave my body. At that point, Pastor Ezekiel's prison ministry entered my life, and my heart.

Pastor Ezekiel told me that even I could receive Christ's forgiveness, and that I would be freed from bondage to sin. He told me that God had sent His only son to die temporarily so that even men like me could find salvation. I read the Bible everyday, and I believed it. Once I repented, Christ's circle of protection surrounded me, and the constant anal defilement came to an end.

Released on parole, I was welcomed into Landover Baptist Church with open arms, by my Christian brothers and sisters. They gave me work, a place to live, a sense of community and belonging. They forgave me, because Jesus forgave me. And I have never sinned again since. For as God represents in His Word:

1st John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
