Hello!

[AshtonK]

I'm Ashton! Father of 3 children, 2 sons and a daughter, and husband to my gorgeous wife. I'm a believer in the word of the bible as my mother tought me every word in it. She made her life about teaching me and my siblings the word. I'm excited to have found this place on this otherwise pit of sin known as the internet.

-Ashton!

Hello, Ashton from Nevada. Some of the basic things with your life seem to be in order. 2 and a half nice children and a wife, submissive, I dare hope?

Indeed, the Interwebs are at the moment run over by a hoard of heathens!

Where do you go to Church and which verses of the Bible (I prefer the capital B here...) are the dearest to you? What weapons do you use when shooting God's lesser Creatures?

Proverbs 12:27
The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.

Tell us more about yourself, potential Friend and we can reciprocate your friendship.

Yours in Christ,

Elmer

Thank you Elmer! My family and I attent Gardnerville Community Church as it's where my mother took me as a child. I don't always agree with their sermon because they seem to believe that lenience towards disobedince from wife towards husband is forgivable, but I intent to keep the tradition of my family going. My wife and family all understand that obedience is a necessity.

I have to say that my favorite Bible verse has to be Ezekiel 2:1.

"Then He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet that I may speak with you!" 2As He spoke to me the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet; and I heard Him speaking to me.…"

This was the first verse my mother read to me after I was saved at age 5. I'll never forget that day.

What a nice verse, Mr. Ashton and your manners seem impeccable. You would not believe the kind of trash that occasionally invades these Friendly Forums...

You favorite verse reminds me of one of my own... Both tell us about the GREATNESS of God and His glorious, fearsome nature.

Exodus 3:14
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

Hearing or reading that, you just know it's about obedience and submitting to God, not about us and our feeble emotions!

Hope you'll stay and start on the narrow but uncertain path to SALVATION. But you know, I have some lingering doubts if salvation at the tender age of 5 is plausible... You see, you have to be old enough to understand to repent.

Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

But strive for Jesus! I can give you my personal testimony that it is worth it!

Yours in Christ,

Elmer

Re: Hello!

Hello! Nice to see one adult here after all those disturbed teenagers.

All that you have written sounds nice. Btw, we use the Real Bible here. You can burn all your wrong ones, I did so after I joined the forum.

Re: Hello!

Thank you everyone for your welcomes!

I do have a question if you wouldn't mind answering;

How does one increase their forum status from "Unsaved Trash" to a suitable rank to post in other topics? I've seen many topics that have pulled in my interest and have no authority to comment on them.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Hello!

Welcome, Ashton. How refreshing to see a proper introduction.

That is a very nice choice of verse although I am glad to say that I am not familiar with the version you are quoting from. As our young friend Marko has pointed out, we at Landover use only the True Bible, the King James Version. Just compare what you quoted:

Then He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet that I may speak with you!" As He spoke to me the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet; and I heard Him speaking to me.…

With the True Word of God

And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.

and you will understand why.

I will include you and your family in my prayers, dear.

When you've proven yourself trustworthy in the eyes of the Lord and the DoF. As you may have seen today, we had many atheist trolls run amok on our Godly forums (I'm sure you had nothing to do with that....right?).

We can never be too careful. With that said, Jesus is patient and should be as well.

Thank you for your polite question.

You status depends on your future forthcomings with Jesus and the Good True Christians™ of LBC.

PRAISE GOD, PRAISE JESUS OUR LORD!

1 Thessalonians 5:8
But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

Our authority comes from the Lord God Almighty Himself, as revealed in the Holy Bible. If you have some information or an opinion to share on any topic, please feel free to reply in any thread, providing you provide the relevant Scripture where you read it first.

You're misunderstanding this: "This the ONLY subforum you can start threads in.". It says start, not add to. You can comment on any thread you see (that's not "locked", of course).

If you (after using the "Search" function thoroughly) find a subject that somehow is not being addressed, ask your question here. If the moderators deem it worthy of further discussion, they'll make a new thread for it.

Re: Hello!

Ah, there are too many replies to quote! Thank you all for your help. Apologies for my confusion. I'll definitely be informing my family that we're going to swap all of our Bibles to the King James Version!

Also, it's strange to hear that there have recently been troubled teenagers signing up here. If I see one am I to teach them their wrong-doings and point them to the proper scripture to turn their ways to God?

You've all been so much help.

Welcome Ashton
Yes indeed. If you ever see troubled teenagers anywhere, not just here, but anywhere, you should quote the Bible at them. Let them know that God does not approve of them and they are bound for Satan's hellfire, unless they mend their ways.
John 8:44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Wow Ashton, saved at five years old! That's sure a long time. So, tell us approximately how many times have you backslid into homosexuality in all those years? Please now, just a rough idea of the number, no need to be exact, just a very, very, very rough estimate will be fine! You see, I like to keep track of matters like this just in case a record breaker comes along some day. Don't worry, reply with confidence, your information is pretty much kept secretly classified for the most part!

Re: Hello!

Welcome to you then, Brother Ashton.

I hope you won't get the wrong idea about us. We are often vexed by unsaved wretches who come here to make sport of Christians or to try to explain to us that they are very smart and that our God does not exist. I think that the treatment we must receive as Christians would make anyone a little uneasy about accepting strangers.

Many of our tormentors are Jesuits who will try to appear to be Christians and then they try to trick us with a cleaver turn of phrase. It is very uncomfortable for the saved to have to deal with them. Others who come here to molest us are members of the church of there is no God. They are as committed to their godless religion every bit as much as heathen Mormans or Jews, but they can't see their beliefs are only a false religion. They will not listen to common sense and they scoff at Hell, to their detriment. We also get a lot of false Christians who come here in a friendly manner and then wind up condemning us to Hell, though it is they who will take a bath in the Lake of Fire.

We are all hopeful that you are what you say- a Christian man, and we will accept you as such until such time as you reveal other, more sinister reasons for coming here. I pray that will not happen.

Please do thrill us with more of your testimony. What adventures do you have to report?

God Bless!
