Another newbie down there... -
06-01-2009, 10:38 PM
Hi everybody
I'm an Irish-American med student currently having a gap year in Europe (mainly Ireland, 'course, but I'm now enjoying the beginning of french summer).
Why Ovaltine ? cuz I love it. Real name Andy.
Religion ? Catholic.
So why did I register here ? Call it "post-Pentecost syndrome". This is where you try to understand why people chose other religions. Blame it on to the sermon I heard if you don't like my being here.
For now, I'll go to bed, it's getting quite late here.
See you !
Ovaltine

Ovaltine, my parents were Catholics, too.
Unlike you, I was extremely fortunate. When I was still at the tender age of five, my Papist parents were killed by a runaway threshing machine on the streets of Chicago. So, I didn't get thoroughly corrupted by Mary-worship. Instead, I was taken in at an orphanage run by Christian women, and raised up to follow Jesus!
Would you like to get to know Jesus, too?

@ Ezekiel Bathfire : I certainly didn't register here to try to convince you of my religious point of view (which would be quite useless besides being rude, too), so rest assured that I won't speak of my religion unless asked to. I came here to try to understand why a different religion would make some people, who don't even know each other, hate each other throughoutly.
@ Capt. A. Portway : I'm sad to find such a lack of an open mind in your post ; I truly hope I missed somewhere the signs that said "this is my being humourous, guys, don't take it litteraly". Well, to give you a decent reply in the remote probability you were being serious about it. I'm Irish-American, that's a fact ; it's neither something to be proud of or to be ashamed of. My mother's from Belfast, nothing's going to change that. She moved to the States in the 70's because she was bored with the way people behaved there, and I'm glad I grew up in New Jersey instead of a war-field. As for my opinion on science and evolution, I suppose that if the Lord gave us a mind able to think, it was probably because He wished us to use it — and not using it at all might be a worse sin than figuring scientifical facts the wrong way. That's my humble opinion ; I totally understand that you may think otherwise. About my gap year, now. I went to Ireland to see my family ; it had been years since we had last spent some time together, and I was eager to see them all again. Didn't go much to pubs, though ; I don't enjoy drinking too much anyway. I went to France for two major reasons ; first, I wanted to visit Paris. I stayed a month there and enjoyed every day of it ; I think it's a very beautiful city. The second reason was to go to the Alps, even though the skiing season is nearly over. I've been in Grenoble for three weeks now ; it's quite warm, and the scenery's stunning.
@ JennyD : How tragic you have to rejoice of your parents' death. I could never bring myself to think there can be room for joy, or even mere relief, when a human being dies. Doesn't the Lord teach us to love our neighbor, whatever their faults may be ? Well, I guess you count your blessings in a different way, but I'd like to know more about it. I didn't come here to know Jesus, as you say ; I'm quite happy with my idea of religion, and don't feel the need to change it. However, if you can accept in this forum someone you believe is doomed to the pits of Hell, I'd like to understand what makes us different, and why it has lead in the past in such atrocities.

Your question is answered simply; if you see a soul on the broad path to Hell, is it not one’s duty to save him? Can a soul be saved other than through God via Landover? No. (Except a woman in childbirth of course – but that may be (a) the only way a woman may be saved and (b) a topic for another day.)
I’d ask you to consider your position as a minion of the anti-Christ, the vicar of Rome, but, bearing in mind you are in Ireland, that would be akin to asking an alcoholic to stop drinking when he is at a brewery.

Now really, I must question where it states In the Bible of course that a woman can only be saved through childbirth AND your statement that a soul can only be saved by God via Landover, because I don't recall anywhere in my Bible (King James Bible) that it mentions Landover in there anywhere.
Furthermore I must state that I don't recall anywhere in the Bible that it says to reach people with bitterness, anger and strife because as I recall it states in the Bible that those are demonic spirits.
So then one must answer this question, The Bible states that the fruits of the spirit are NOT: Galatians 5: 18-23
18But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Hmmm... It seems to me that you guys fit that boot smoothly like Cinderella fit that glass slipper, buddy.
Because the fruits of the spirit are:
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
And I have not seen any of this displayed in this forum what so ever.
So according to whos Bible do you teach?

I did not know that people were not allowed to post in such places, I apologize for my ignorance on that part.
It was a simple question and I had tried to reply to your message privately but could not figure out how to do it.

We get quite a few people like you on our forum Andy. You, and others like you, seem to think of their religion as a sort of security blanket/social club. What I mean is, people like you think that religion is for YOU. Something to make you feel better, something to do on Sunday.
People like you think of church as a place where you and your family can get together with other families, talk about how your week has been, things like that.
But that is not what religion is at all. God created the world. He wrote a book called the Bible where he told people how to live and how to worship Him. The Bible is a really a book of laws. And God expects us to follow those laws. Not just some of them, ALL of them.
People say things like "We should respect other peoples religion" as if religion is something that people created. God created everything. Over thousands of years, most people have strayed from God, perverting His words, ignoring some, most, or all of the Bible.
But we haven't. Here at Landover, we follow EVERY WORD of the King James Bible. We honor God all day, every day.
You call yourself religious. In reality, you are not religious at all, because you are not worshipping God correctly. Do I "respect" your right to not worship God correctly? I guess in a way I do. As far as I'm concerned, you can do whatever you want. But it is not me that you need to worry about. You need to worry about what God thinks about you not worshipping Him correctly.

@ Pastor Ezekiel : I don't mind, please, let him be. Threads are made to exchange ideas, aren't they ?
@ Ezekiel Bathfire : I perfectly get your point of doing whatever is in one's power to save people ; it honors you. However, what I fail to grasp is why you so firmly believe only those from your Church will be saved. As long as someone abides by the moral principles of the Scriptures, and in particular those of the Gospels, why shouldn't he be considered righteous, whatever his or her particular religion (or lack of) ?
Besides, I am catholic and you're baptist ; our faiths should be close. Don't we both believe in the Holy Scriptures ? Don't we both believe God sent his Son to save us ? So why should we be unable to be both saved and, just as importantly, live peacefully one beside the other, aknowledging that, perhaps, the other is just as right as we are ? The Scriptures teach us, above everything else, tolerance, and the love for our neighbor. See, some of my family died in Belfast because people wouldn't live quietly together. Without, of course, comparing you in the slightest way with theses bombers (whatever their faith, they can't be excused), it's important for me to understand why catholics and hard-wing protestants just can't seem to get on.
As for my being Irish, thanks, but I consider myself as American, Irish being only my descent. As for my criticising the Pope, I have enough judgement to do it by myself without resorting to insults, and to see that the Catholic Church as a whole did a bunch of good things in the world (together with some nasty others such as Crusades, but nobody's perfect, only the Lord is).

(Is it just me, or is editing posts impossible ? Anyway, doesn't matter).
@ Professor Bessemer : my religion isn't about "just going to church on sunday". I try to live it fully — that's one of the reasons I'm a medical student, for example. I won't bother you by shouting I am religious and you're a mormon, like I've seen in other threads. Facts like faith shouldn't be able to be doubted.
The Bible is a good example. If I aknowledge, as I do, that it is God's word He gave to us, I also have to aknowledge that the Koran also is. I'm not muslim, so I won't try to live by it, but I can't say what they say is rubbish. I'm not so proud that I think my religion is the only right one. Why couldn't God bestow an equal gift, but in a different shape, to other people, who wouldn't have know His word otherwise ?

Ovaltine, you and I need to get into an intelligent debate sometime. I'm not going to derail this thread, but please see my introduction thread. (I did not title it, but it is Mechanix defends paganism, spits on Jesus).
Anyway, I believe much as you do, that God can bestow his gift to different people in different ways. Good luck in here

I'd like to ask whatever administrator who changed my nick to "Ovomaltine®" to change it back to the one I chose, Ovaltine. That's the first forum where I've seen a member's nickname being changed without his consent.
However, if the intention was to piss me off, you failed, I have a fairly amount of patience.

Irish people drink, are you denying this? They also have terrible teeth and seem unaware of the existence of deodorant. If you're not a smelly, gap-toothed Mick, I apologize.

Way to avoid the question! Are an EVILutionist or aren't you? A simple yes or no will do.

Maybe living in God's own US of A has limited your inborn tendency to alcoholism. Congratulations!
So, you didn't start one pub brawl? Really?

I'm sure the countryside is beautiful, God doesn't make junk. But the French are even worse than the Irish, in terms of deodorant use especially! And I'm not sure being a wine drinking alcoholic is any better or worse than a beer and whisky alcoholic, so in that contest, we'll call it a push.
But French people are so RUDE! They act like they invented cleverness and class, but what did they ever do for the world except give the Nazis someone to conquer while America was figuring out whether to whip the Japs or the Germans first!
France, you can have it! And I've never heard of a French person who was Saved. I bet Hell is lousy with those brie-eating, beret-wearing fruits!

I am a bit surprised the the Irish are all lumped together as bad people. I knew a fine Irish Christan lad once. He made very good mashed potatoes and almost never drank on Sundays. He did not appear to be a Homer but then again, they can take on many deceptive forms, just like Lucifer. Just because nearly all Irish are foul mouthed smelly drunken ignorant hot headed bigots does not mean they all are. The girls on the Irish spring commercials appear to have nice teeth.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Thanks, and uh Mr. Irish basher my great grandfather is from Ireland so I would thank you to keep your mouth shut, if you have nothing nice to say about anyone or anything please kindly refrain from speaking at all.

No one is speaking here. This is all written. Who do you think you are, anyway, the gestapo? This is the U.S.A., where people have a right not to have others tell them what they can or can not say.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.
