My intro

[derekdoxon]

i just got yelled at for posting before introducing myself...so here i am! But i have a question. I made an account to chat with fellow follows but it seem there are a lot of hateful people here so is this normal? Ive only read the minecraft topic so im hoping its not like this everywhere? (like the person who snapped at me for not introducing myself)...Now i totally understand that this is a internet board so there will be fake people or people who just come to be mean and judge us, but it seems that there are a lot of "followers" that are down right rude and hateful.

But im going to give the site a shot in hopes that i can meet some great people of the lord.

p.s. Jesus Rocks!

Re: My intro

Welcome. But, you still haven't introduced yourself.'
Here is where you introduce yourself. Tell us what church you go to and what your favorite Bible verse is and how you came to find Jesus.

Re: My intro

I go by "D"

I go to my Father church (he is a paster) in good old Bloomington Missestota

And our family has a little saying "We didn't find Jesus, Jesus found us" There is a whole back story on that saying, came from when my father found him. Long story short my father was going through had time and when he hit rock bottom we went on a walk to clear his head...Well on his walk he finds a brand new bible just sitting on the sidewalk, after that history was made.

Luke 6:35
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

Minnesota sorry

Re: My intro

So, your father found a Bible on the sidewalk, he is a pastor, yet you seem surprised that we follow God's word to the letter?

Have you, or anyone in your family, actually read the Bible, all of it, not just few passages which "sound nice?"

Hi, D, and welcome!

...it seem there are a lot of hateful people here so is this normal?

Unfortunately, there are a bunch of unsaved trash who don't act in a very Christian manner. They often spout their religious bigotry. But, hey, we all have our crosses to bear.

it seems that there are a lot of "followers" that are down right rude and hateful.

I'm not sure what you mean by "followers." If you mean True Christians™, we only hate the things that God hates.

Jesus Rocks!

No doubt!

...our family has a little saying "We didn't find Jesus, Jesus found us..." on his walk he finds a brand new bible just sitting on the sidewalk, after that history was made.

That is a beautiful story. It just goes to prove that God will help those who are open to His Holy Word.

But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

Yes, this is one of my favorite verses, too. Unfortunately, too many people misread this as never chastise sinners. We at Landover Baptist Church chastise sinners because we love them, and we'd hate to see them wind up in Hell. Or at least most of them.

Re: My intro

Hi Derek!

Have you read the Bible all the way through? I'm talking about starting at Genesis 1:1 and ending at Revelation 22:21, without skipping any parts.

Every True Christian(tm) here has done that, and we follow every word in there to the letter. Most people aren't ready for that level of devotion, which might explain some of the "butt-hurt" you see around here.



Yours in Christ,

Z. Smyth

Of course we want to help you, sweetie, but first you have to help yourself -

Re: My intro

i just got yelled at for posting before introducing myself...like the person who snapped at me for not introducing myself...

I simply politely instructed you to follow the rules.

1 Timothy 5:20 (1611 King James Bible)

Them that sinne rebuke before all, that others also may feare.

Don't be such a effeminate whiner. Jesus doesn't like that.

Numbers 11:1 (1611 King James Bible)

And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it: and his anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the vttermost parts of the campe.

So take your rebuking like a manly man. Jesus likes men with balls:

Deuteronomy 23:1 (1611 King James Bible)

Hee that is wounded in the stones, or hath his priuie member cut off, shall not enter into the Congregation of the Lord.

Such a fragmented, bad, and whiny series of non-thoughts that had Jesus been present with us when you had written it, He'd have repeated Genesis 6:7.

And why is it that those who complain the most about haters are themselves some of the biggest Jesus-haters around?

Please spare us anymore theatrics.
