Re: introduction

Hello and welcome, Leah.

The Word of God is nourishment for a Christian:

Matthew 4:4 (1611 King James Bible)

But he answered, and said, It is written, Man shall not liue by bread alone, but by euery word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Without the sustaining guidance we receive from God's Word, our fellowship with Christ will not prosper and flourish as God intended.

Joshua 1:8 (1611 King James Bible)

This booke of the Law shal not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest obserue to doe according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt haue good successe.

Here is an online version, which makes available the KJV 1611:

King James Bible Online

How did you come to find Christ? There are many false Christians out there leading folks not to Christ, but instead straight to the gaping maw of hell. We want to make sure you have indeed found Christ.

Well, you have certainly come to the best place online without a doubt to learn about what it means to be a Christian.

God has guided you here to see what kind of worship and adherence to His Word pleases Him and saves you from eternal damnation.

Tell me, do you know why you need Christ and His Holy Blood in order to enter the kingdom of heaven?

Re: introduction

i don't know.

Re: introduction

i don't know.

Here's the short version:

God created man and woman perfect, without sin. However, while in the garden of Eden, Satan deceived the woman (Eve) who then deceived the man (Adam) to disobey a direct commandment of God, eating of the fruit of the tree of knowledge.

Now, God could have kept this tree and the other forbidden tree (the tree of life) out of reach of Adam and Eve, but He put them right there within reach. It was a test of Adam and Eve's obedience, which they failed.

Disobeying God is a sin, and so now the nature of humanity had become sinful and corrupted, which is a horrible abomination before God, who is perfect and without sin. God cannot stand sin, He must be separate from sin, and so Adam and Eve were driven from the garden, and God told them that from now on life would not be nearly as pleasant.

Every person born from that day forward, has this "original sin" transmuted to them, thus we all begin life as abominations before God. Before Christ, God demanded periodic blood sacrifices, as the sweet smell of blood being let from certain animals would temporarily cover the foul stench of sin permeating the world.

However, God came up with a brilliant plan. He would send Himself down to Earth, in the form of a man, Jesus, who would be sacrificed to Himself, in a loving temporary suicide. This holy blood, the blood of Christ, is powerful enough to cover the stench of all sin for all time. Now, you may be thinking, "why didn't God just forgive the sin and not require Jesus to commit suicide for a few days? That's just how God is...He holds even Himself to His rules, just to set a good example. He's not one of these "do as I say, not as I do" authority figures. He's the real deal...Hallelujah!

So, this is why you need Christ, to accept Him as your personal Savior, to receive His cleansing blood, so that you don't stink up the joint before God. Once you are cleansed of your sin that you inherited from Adam and Eve, God can tolerate you in His Holy presence.

Make sense?

Hi, sweetie!

In this modern age, God's Holy Words can be accessed online, for example here:

Happy reading!

Re: introduction

Witch, no words of welcome from me until that part of you is thoroughly DEAD.

Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live

Furthermore, and only knowing that nothing is impossible to JESUS, can I direct some rules (if you wish to have the slightest chance of SALVATION)

1. PRAY!
2. Stop passing your children through fire
3. Stop using divination (and yes, that coin throwing is included)
4. Stop watching the clock.
5. Stop enchanting people

Deuteronomy 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,

Now on your knees and repent.

PRAY TO JESUS!

Egads woman! How terrifying! How long have you been harboring these evil spirits and unleashing them upon society? I suggest you PM a senior pastor right away, confess your sins - all of them, spare no detail - and make arrangements for an exorcism ASAP!

Re: introduction

A witch by any other name.

Deuteronomy 18:11

Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

And worse, for these are men's titles, so you're a cross-dressing witch.

Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

IF there is to be any chance of salvation PRAY.

PRAY TO JESUS!

Re: introduction

Ridding yourself of the hold of satan is not as simple as saying "Necromancer today, Jesusmancer tomorrow."

The devil's semen is like glue, causing you to stick to his naughty part so that he can claim you as his own forever. The good news is, you can probably run faster than satan (we are working on this in another thread) and the blood of God's son, which is actually His blood, too, is better than Oxiclean at getting out the stains of sin. You might consider God a blood-succor, providing His blood as a salve for the wounds you've suffered while following the ways of the wicked one (satan). That salve leads to your salvation (notice how cleverly God designed it - His plan is just perfect).

Christians are also succors in that we uplift and provide salve for one another as we strive to reach heaven. As you grow in knowledge of God, there is nothing like the succor that you'll find in your brothers and sisters in Him (GLORY!).

Please, do follow Sister Mary's advice regarding an exorcism. Tithing is likely to bring about a faster appointment, but our pastors will rush to rid you of any kind of demonic apparatus that may have attached itself to you. Pray, even now, and seek the assistance of those stronger in the faith. Just as God always does, He will either answer your prayer or put it off until it is the right time, because no matter how much sense it may make for God to just immediately take action, a True Christian (TM) can attest that this is presumptious of us - after all, who are we to tell God what to do? But you can try.

In Jesus Name,

My dear Sister in Christ, your words must be such soothing balm to the worried mind of the afflicted, as they are but a kind and friendly reminder of the Truth of Christ. You know, this tithing idea really is enormously important. Most people don't stop and think of the emotional, spiritual, and financial toll it takes on the good pastors here to fight Satan in hand to hand, or hand to genitalia/rectum if necessary, combat. They will persevere until the demonic infestation is gone. After so many years of dancing intimately with the devil, I cannot imagine this infestation is small and tidy. These good men take time away from their homes and personal business, and jet fuel and four star accommodations are not free. Tithing is certainly one practical way to show one's faith in Jesus by taking care of His Ambassadors properly (2 Corinthians 5:20).
