  • Trusting Christ for Wisdom

    Father approved three dates for me this week (I almost feel like a woman of ill repute) and all of them went reasonably well. The first was Wednesday:

    1. Wednesday: Father and Mother approved one of the Christian Mingle responders to meet them outside of the Freehold gates (I am so grateful for the Freehold Gatekeeper Patrol & AR15 Enforcer Group) for an initial interview. Once all seemed in order, a temporary pass inside the gate was approved by the council with a three hour time limit under strict conditions of supervision. His name was John. John is 19, has been a Christian since the age of 10, produced his baptismal certificate and letter of recommendation from his pastor (who claims to know Pastor Ezekiel). He is fair of face, tall, with dark hair, strong, manly voice, and was very kind to my parents. He brought a gift of flowers for Mother and a hand-tooled belt for Father on which was emblazoned a rendering of Christ's ascent into Heaven at the transfiguration. Father asked all the necessary questions while I sat quietly except when ordered to serve the dinner, all of which I had prepared myself. He selected beef pot roast with new potatoes, carrots, onions, and a garden salad with home made dressing. He scolded me that one of the potatoes was not cooked thoroughly - which truly impressed Father. (In fact, Dad allowed him to smack me and order me to get another fully cooked potato to replace it) Dessert was in the form of my Beatitude Blackberry pie with a dollop of whipped cream. He asked for seconds - and thirds! Truly, he loved my pie so much, he asked me to send him one so he could share it with his parents. Father liked him, Mother thought he was too bulky in the shoulders and mentioned that he failed to thank them for the temporary pass.

    2. Thursday, Father, Mother, and I flew to San Antonio, TX to meet Cletus. Cletus is 49, owns a lamb ranch, and cares for his widowed mother, Betsy Anne. His mother is a somewhat overbearing woman, but he keeps her in her place while showing respect for the fact that she bore him for nine long months in her womb. My first task was to clean the house for them, after which an inspection was performed. My only mistake was that I did not fold the napkins properly before replacing them on the table. I hadn't noticed the monogram, so I put them face down. Father scolded me and asked Cletus to forgive me, but I am not sure he did. Turns out Cletus had embroidered the monograms himself. I immediately prepared dinner and dessert, all of which was a huge hit. He asked for quiche in three different varieties.

    Cletus is in charge of the music for his church and teaches a teenage boys' Sunday School class. He wants seven children - all boys. I was not clear on why he hadn't married before now. There was slight mention of someone named Phillip that had shared the home for five years prior - I assume as a field hand - and that Cletus was so busy with him that he chose not to become involved otherwise, but it still left unanswered questions. I saw several pictures of Phillip throughout the home. Mother seemed concerned, but she hasn't yet told me why. I can say that Cletus truly thought highly of Phillip since they are embracing in most of those pictures. I was impressed that Cletus plays violin, knows how to knit, crochet, and enjoys art museums and old Judy Garland movies.

    3. This was my least favorite date. Friday evening, we drove from San Antonio to Enid, Oklahoma, to meet Daniel. Daniel is 20 and owns a small gas station on the outskirts of town. He quit school when he was 16 to take care of his now-deceased parents. He spends most of his time reading the Bible, praying, and working for the church. His preferred meal is anything with meat and potatoes -but he does not like pie. The apple pie I prepared for him sat there untouched. Father loves him, as does Mother. He was quick to correct me when I tried to speak my opinions about the political conversation he had with Father. Mother smiled - but I didn't - when Daniel's pastor came over to "ensure that I was good enough." Daniel's pastor has been in the Baptist ministry for over 20 years, having served as a pastor in Wichita, KS, for 10 years and then moving first to Tulsa and then Enid. He took the pie home with him and said, "You look like you know a thing or two about pie." Well, I most certainly do and I don't need some man to tell me so.

    Anyway - that's how the week's "potentials" turned out. Father is praying about it but I have a feeling he's leaning toward Daniel. Perhaps the fellows we have on schedule for the upcoming week will be more pleasing to me - although I know ultimately it's Father's decision.

      Dear Sister Naomi, I think Bachelor #1 (John) is the best choice. You can never go wrong with a man who loves a woman's pie! The fact that he had seconds is even better!

        Re: Trusting Christ for Wisdom

        By the time Father made a decision about the dates I had two weeks ago, all of them found another wife.

        Eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani?

        However, Father and Mother interviewed 2 more potential suitors this week. Oddly, one of them has the name "Lamb," which would make for an easy transition. He is from ungodly Des Moines, but attends a Baptist church and is a deacon. His first wife died of food poisoning some months ago. His 2nd wife died of carbon monoxide inhalation when she was trapped in her Plymouth Valiant 3 weeks ago. He has endured tragedy with grace and strength, which Mother admires. I am to see him this evening at his congregation's July 4th celebration. I'm bringing my red, white, and blue pie and Mother is bringing her famous pomegranate mashed potatoes.

        The 2nd gentleman is a Baptist minister from Kentucky. His name is Nathaniel Collingsworth and his family background is honorable. Now residing in Cadiz, Kentucky, he ministers in nearby Owensboro, Henderson, and occasionally Louisville and Frankfort. Mother does not like his accent and Father thinks he is too liberal - but is willing to give him a chance. The reason Father suspects liberalism is that his church appointed a female as the Sunday School Superintendent. I argued that she does not teach, she merely ensures that attendance and lesson pamphlets are in place for the male teachers.

        Updates will be posted as they become available. Please be in prayer, my beloved sisters.

          Praying

          Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

            Do you live in the 16th century? I'm worried about how the women here let men to treat them like objects, come on girls, you can do more with your lives than just making pies, and maybe men in here can learn to take care of themselves, you depend too much on a wife

              Please make a thread of your own in the "Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.

              And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.

              I will pray that the Holy Spirit enter you and chase the demons out of your rectum and let Jesus fill you with His Grace. If you use your God-given free will to reject Christ and His temporary death on the cross for my sins, then you are sending yourself to hellfire.
              Who Will Jesus Damn?

              Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:

              Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

                I agree, a father allowing another man to smack his daughter is a sick bastard, that's abuse.

                  Not if the Holy Bible says otherwise.

                  Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous:
                  nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
                  Hebrews 12:11


                  You see, the Bible tells us the importance of training up our children (Proverbs 13:24; 19:18; 22:15; 23:13-14; 29:15). But this isn't just for the convenience of the parent, this is for the Salvation of the child. For this reason, a child well trained in obedience will appreciate God's Divine Correction (Deuteronomy 8:5; 2 Samuel 7:14; Job 5:17; Psalm 119:75; Isaiah 10:26).

                  Our Holy, loving God "chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth". God also delegates authority to people to rule over and discipline other people. See Genesis 3:16; Exodus 18:25; Romans 13:1-5; Ephesians 5:22; Colossians 3:18; Hebrews 13:17; James 4:7; 1 Peter 2:13-14 for some examples.

                  Naomi's father loves her enough to make sure she is well cared for after she leaves his authority. That's hardly abusive. If more fathers took such care, we wouldn't have a nation of welfare queens and lesbians.

                    How is it abuse?

                    Is it abuse to want to bring up a decent child bearing female?

                    You seem very angry.

                    1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

                    Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

                    Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

                      Is abuse, no matter your "reasons", beating a woman is wrong, they are not as strong as men, most of the time they can't defend themselves from their husbands or boyfriends if they become violent, and believe me, no child EVER will want their mothers to be beaten by their fathers, a child needs loving parents, not an abusive father and an injured mother!

                        Yes, women are not as strong as men, spiritually or mentally, so it makes sense that the men, who are less likely to succumb to the temptation to disobey Him, would help the women along, and if that means a beating when she disobeys, so be it. A women should never be beaten for no reason, there is always a good reason when a good Christian man helps his wife through a beating. They are loving parents, a man who helps his wife to enter heaven instead of burning forever in hell is most definitely a loving man.
                        Atheists! Make the right choice!
                        or
                        It should be obvious.
                        Come stand with us, with Christians, with Jesus, in eternal glory in heaven instead of agony in hell. You won't regret it!

                          Loving? You call loving a man who beat a woman? NO!! A man who beat a woman is an abusive, a coward and a queer, in fact, I could never call man to a male who abuse of a weaker person, what that people need is that women finally defend themselves from them, they're a danger for society

                            Yes, I call giving a woman a finite amount of pain for an eternity of pleasure loving. How DARE you call true Christian men queer, that makes no sense. You cannot be a true Christian and queer, and you cannot be a true Christian and not beat your wife if she disobeys. Therefore you CANNOT beat your wife when she disobeys Him, and be a queer. Are you a feminazi? Men are NOT a danger to society, let alone good Christian men. Women should not defend themselves, that is mocking god twice. Once for the original sin, and twice for not even accepting, and not taking your punishment like you should.

Are you a feminazi? Men are NOT a danger to society, let alone good Christian men. Women should not defend themselves, that is mocking god twice. Once for the original sin, and twice for not even accepting, and not taking your punishment like you should.

                              Cool, then I'll send you my address, come to my house and beat me for "disobeying" the men here, come on, do it, but I warn you, my father hates people like you with all the heart, probably he kills you if you dare to beat me. In the case I'm wrong and you're a woman too, then I dare any male landover member to come to my house and beat me... men here are a bunch of cowards who hide behind a computer
