Introduction -
11-05-2014, 07:45 PM
Hi, I'm a christian who was born in the UK, was baptised in a Church of England as a child but taught religion by baptists aswell as at sunday schools at the CoE. I attend CoE services on sundays. I found the baptist church education more relevant. I believe in God but am confused about the holy trinity somewhat although I accept Jesus as saviour. Basically just here because it seems like the right thing to do.

My favourite bible verse is - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places - Ephesians 6:12

Hello, and welcome to our forums! I'm sure the menfolk will wonder what your favorite hunting rifle is, but I'm curious if you have a wife and family! How many little Soldiers for Christ have you produced? Have any of them been baptized yet?
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.

I unfortunately have neither wife nor children as of this time which pains me much but I live in hope that the day will come and might I add sooner rather than later.
I went to university when I should have probably got into some real work, unfortunately after spend 3 years at university studying psychology I have come away with not much but added sins and am basically starting out life a bit later.
I actually went to university 4 years, the first I was taken away for being "psychotic" during this "psychosis" I said I would never return to university and that evil was there. I was then forced drugged and sent to return. After I finally left the place (literally a week after) I was told I was not insane after all but had ADHD. (This is all actually true).
The fact that I was labelled insane for three or more years has had its impact and I'm just in the begginings of putting my life back together.

Hello and welcome. I see it has been over 3 months since you first posted on these forums and wonder why it has taken you so long to compose such a very brief introduction in response to Pastor Zeke's request. Are you mentally challenged in some way? Or have you perhaps been in jail? We will not hold the latter against you, if persecution was involved.
I also live in the Godless UK. You say you were baptized - or presumably "christened", as they call it - in the CofE. I assume this was done according to their custom, i.e. when you were an infant - this is called pedobaptism, a word which frankly tells us all we need to know about that sorry religion! True baptism, credobaptism, is afforded only to individuals who personally confess their faith in , and as such excludes young children. Have you been properly baptized?
You say you prefer the Baptist Church education, but that you still attend CofE services. May we ask why you would do that?
With very best wishes, dear,
Yours in Faith,
Joanna

Re: Introduction -

The reason I attend CoE services is due mainly to circumstances such as having parents that do not attend church but some of their friends take me to their congregation.
My tardiness with responding here is simply due to a mental retardation of sorts although I wudn't say I am retarded in the classical sense, i.e. being of a particularly low IQ, In fact my IQ is supposed to be above average but I get distracted easily.
I have not been properly baptised although I did have a go at self-baptism but I'm not really sure how it worked out - Did I baptise myself or not?
I am stuck in the state of beleiving that any outward display of christianity will make my parent believe I am insane (which they enforce whenever such things occur).
I don't know what my parents believe, I dont think they are atheists but they do not embrace religion either.

You've spent 3 years at University, but still need your parents' friends to take you to Church? Something doesn't sound quite right here.
Anyway, welcome

At the moment I'm in Spain for a while, where my parents live, the nearest CoE church is quite a way off and I don't drive, there are two catholic churches in walking distance but the services would be in spanish and be reffering to things that I probably wouldnt agree with.
When I get back to UK I can find the right church, I think the CoE are too subversive these days to bother with, I met a "devout" christian in the UK who was part of a christian union at the university but he carried the NIV not KJV. I think he may have been associated with the plymouth bretheren.
I have mainly avoided anything to do with religion due to me basically being told beleiving in god is insanity or hearing religious people who are way too accepting of obvious deviancy.

So in other words you're a retarded.

I find your story compelling. Tell us more about why these people all thought you were crazy.

Welcome! I am Elizabeth, one of the young women here. Well, it is clear as the Lord's good will that you are not Saved, but this is a good start - you are a believer in the KJV Bible! I am so glad that you know the real Bible. Have you read every part of it yet? Only a true Christian will have read the ENTIRE Bible, not skipping any part of it, including the parts that are not politically correct according the the liberal people. Ugh. Anyway, welcome!
YiC,
Elizabeth

Retardeds rarely classify themselves as retardeds. (Our friend Brother Rusty is one of the rare, self-aware exceptions.) Bragging about one's ability in IQ tests, which test nothing but the ability to do childish tests, is one of the more obvious signs of being a retarded. We see a lot of that on these forums, though mainly from the younger teenage unSaved. I refer you to James 4:16.

No, you did not. I hope that helps?

When my family visits those countries, which we occasionally do in the summer months for missionary purposes, we keep well away from ALL the churches for fear of contamination! Remember 1 Timothy 4:1.
At least you have succeeded in not learning their heathen babble. Well done! So many Godless Brits in Spain make the mistake of learning the local language, which leads to Papism and other vile practices, such as wearing hooded robes at Easter and throwing donkeys off church towers.
I will pray for you.

Have you ever participated in music therapy sessions? Studying psychology is not very helpful when one is oneself insane but in your case, as was eventually explained although why it took four years is beyond me, attention deficit disorder is not insanity and is not even a "mental illness" so whoever labelled you "insane" needs their bumps read by a professional.
Anyone can play music. You don't need to master Beethoven on the electric guitar, a basic persussion setup is great fun maybe a crashing cymbal, delicate triangles (a few different sizes), a couple of floor toms or some of those electronic drum pads (which are programmable so you can make up your own sounds). Have a look around to find something you like and what I've outlined would be a valuable contribution in any musical setting — once you learn not to start banging the synth-kick-bass pad or wallopping the crash cymbal with brass-tipped mallets during the quiet passage of the wistful love song.
I don't like wistful love songs. They would be greatly enhanced by more banging in my opinion, or unexpected 8-bit space invader sounds (you can program the perc. pads to do those, too!) but you get the idea.
Jesus said:
MATTHEW
11:28-29 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
KJV .. look up . pictorial version Having to concentrate on stuff dreamed up by other people who don't know what they're talking about is never easy. I don't even think it's desirable. Dream something up yourself. Probably best not to recite it in a crowded train, but on one of those "speakers ’ corner" places, especially when accompanied by space invader sounds [8-bit] I guarantee you an audience AND one which will offer suggestions.
In such a situation I always listen to the suggestions. As a rule (but not in every case) they DO know what they're talking about. Are you still engaged with education?

Hello there I'm a 22 year old musician that would really like to converse and bask in the light of our saviour with other true Christians. Very new to this site as I don't use the dreaded Internet too often as I see Satan is always lurking with his vile temptations at every turn but I am glad I have found a bright corner of this damned media in which our Lord and saviour can be praised accordingly. Thank you for reading, praise Jesus

Please make a proper introduction, Jim and in the appropriate section- the one for introductions.
Tell us of your march with Jesus. What is your congregation? How did you find Jesus? Are you Christian? I see you are a musician. Are you on the marijuana?
God Bless!

Ah I am very sorry, my parents kept me away from the Internet apart from the absolute necessary exceptions. Therefore I am very unschooled on the way this works, could you please be my shepherd and guide this unworthy lamb to the appropriate area for introductions?
And I can wholeheartedly assure you I do not partake in the devils lettuce!

I have no idea what the devils lettuce[sic] is. How many devils were you thinking of? 3? 90?
But if devils are involved it's certainly ill-advised. In your earlier post you raised a very good point. Satan's minions do tend to "lurk" usually leering. It's a wonder how they stand up, from the look of their eyes and the smell turpentine. Vile, as you said. Everything about devils is vile and when something vile promotes itself—whether leering or lurking or not—you can be sure it's of the devil. Vile is his hallmark.
The introduction forum is here.

I'm back, I regularly attend CoE services on Sundays and am getting my confirmation in line so I can partake of the communion in January, I have had explained to me the intercession of the saints and Mary as them definitely being in heaven therefore they are able to pray for you. I attended one Methodist service recently which was OK and the songs were more those I have heard before than in CoE, Overall I'm striving to get my christian life in hand and have took a vow of celibacy until the right woman comes along who is willing to accept my Christianity. Sorry for the long intermission.

Also I have moved back to the UK, Read Jehovah's Witnesses books like "Riches", and another book "Praying the kingdom" and John Hagee's "The Three Heavens". I have my trusted KJV bible at hand also and my concordance book for studying the bible more in depth.
