[.:Auria:.]

It's a pleasure to meet all of you!
My name is Auria and I'm new to the website.

It's so embarrassing, but I will come right out and say I don't know much about God in all his wonders.

My parents were very "free" spirits... So they never really stressed me following a religion, now that I've moved out of my house and am living on my own while in school, I've come to want to learn about God.
So with that said, please excuse my ignorance!!!


Uh.. What else to possibly say without being too forwards? I feel like I've kind of already spilled my guts out a little too much.

Welcome Auria, as these christians have taken leave of their manners I will great you and I hope I can help you on the road to discovering the truth.

As a start I would recommend you read my postings here:

A Condensed History of the World
The Holy Noodle
The Most High and Holy Prayer

I would slao like to point you in the direction of the Holy Texts that you can find via the links in my signature.

Hello Miss Auria.

If you are interested in learning about God the first thing you want to do is ignore the pastahead above me. Honestly I don't understand why he hangs around here. Then get yourself a copy of the KJV (King James Version) 1611 Bible. You can find one online here. I too came from a very liberal household and have only recently found Jesus, so I understand that it can be a little daunting at first. Nobody here will mind that you don't yet know the Bible in and out as long as you show a willingness to learn and are respectful.

So do you have your father or husband's permission to post here? What kind of horrifying life of sin and debauchery are you leaving behind?

[James Hutchins]

Hi Auria, sorry to hear your parents were filthy Godless hippies. You must be mighty ashamed. But you are in a place where God hangs his halo. You are amoung friends who want to love and care for you. You can no longer worry about life and all the confusion regarding making choices. God gave you free will and it looks like you want to turn it over to Him. You should get on your knees before Jesus and open wide to accept His love.
I'd like you to get your hands on a KJV Bible. Then read the Bible. Ask questions to get answers, but never argue about Gods word. He is always correct.

At the risk of repeating my brother in Christ, Mr. Hutchins, God did indeed give you free will so that you can obey Him in all things.

God will provide the structure for your life that your parents did not provide for you. Indeed, many people seek the Lord because He does provide such structure.

As you delve deeply into His Word, you will find easy to understand explainations for everything.

Who made the world? God, of course. Who knows the answers to all of life's questions? God, of course.

Where do you find out what God thinks and commands about every aspect of your life? The Bible, of course.

God explains in the Bible that the Bible is the source for knowledge about God.

No matter how seemingly insignificant the detail, God cares enough about you to offer you specific instructions on how to proceed.

What you can and cannot wear, what you can and cannot eat, what you can and cannot do with your body, your bank account and your thoughts-- all of these concerns are addressed in the Bible.

The most important concern-- more important than any other aspect of your life-- is also covered.

What happens when I die? This question is of overriding importance over any other issue to confront the human race. Remember, life here on earth is basically meaningless. What really matters is afterwards.

No matter how miserable your lot in life may seem, no matter what you might have to give up or do without, none of that matters more than pleasing God and getting into heaven.

And the only thing that pleases God is the total subjugation of your will to Him.

Admit your filthy-sinned filled nature, accept that God has every right to send you to an eternity of hellfire for being human, further accept the perfect blood sacrifice that Jesus alone could provide to fulfill God's need for blood to wash away sin and you are in.

Praise God for all things! He created everything in a perfect procession of order.

I tell you, you haven't lived until you have lived for God and the hope of heaven alone.


Joyously Yours,

Handmaiden

Lycia- Oh, thank you very much for that link! I'll be sure to order a copy when I get paid on Friday.
As for my father's permission, I'm sad to say that he doesn't overly care what I do. As for my Fiance; (Not married) I broke away from him a few months ago due to his closet homosexuality. I saw him staring at men a lot and it made me very uncomfortable.
So sadly, It's just me, myself, and I.

A lot of people here in my state are rather grotesque and barbaric.. It's one reason why I'm so desperate as to turn to a website to try and find at least SOMEONE to connect to.
I tried to attend a couple church services here, but that pastors didn't seem...Legit. Plus, there was a transvestite in one of the church services!!!! I was floored they let it in! I still shudder at the mere thought of that thing's adams apple!



James- Thank you, I wish my parents would look at this site too. Maybe they could be better people. But I'm sad to say they're hopeless... I will admit I'm very embarrassed to admit it, or even be seen with them.
Last night I cot to my knees by my bed and whispered a quiet prayer for God to take my hands and guide me to the right place to be. Maybe then I can finally feel whole, filled with God's love.
and yes, I will get a KJV bible and read it front to back. And yes sir, I wont argue God's word.



Handmaiden- I am glad the Bible will be so structured and able to help get my life completely in tune to God's will and askings. I pray that I'm not too late to repent my sins and be accepted into God's embrace in heaven.

Let me guess... Catholic. Their leaders all wear dresses with nothing under them, so that they can molest the little boys more easily.

[.:Auria:.]

Billy- It's funny you mention that, it actually was Catholic.
And do they really do that all the time?! I saw that one incident on the news, but I thought it was just a single isolated incident.
