[Jeremiah]

Okay folks so I have a dilemma here. To make a long story short, my son, who is 4 and a half, has sinned against God and has rubbed our Holy Bible in dirt with his foot. I didn't notice until it was too late because I was busying myself in the kitchen (making chocolate chip cookies for our local Bible Bake Sale to raise money for our church). It clearly says in the Bible:

"If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire."

-Matthew 18:8

I only want the best for my son because I love him, and a foot isn't really that necessary since he can still read the Bible and write verses out perfectly fine later in his life. So how can I go about cleansing him? I need some help PLEASE! I don't want my beloved son to suffer in Hell!

First of all it is proper to introduce yourself. There is an introduction forum set up here just for that purpose. http://www.landoverbaptist.net/forumdisplay.php?f=16

And second, I assume from your user name you are male? What on earth are you doing baking cookies? Does your son have two fathers? Maybe he sinned against the Bible because he's confused. Perhaps living in a house of sodomites caused him to act out against his Creator. Please explain in your introduction thread.

What does your local pastor have to say about this?

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.

Just spank the tar out of him.

He won't do it again.

Doing something once, doesn't necessarily make you that thing for ever.

For example, a person who once takes a candy bar from a store (and only does it once) that person isn't a "thief". No, that was a single transgression. That can be forgiven. If you continually steal, that's when you are labeled a thief.

Except for certain things... do them once and it brands you forever.

There was a certain carpenter. He went into a bar one evening all depressed. The bartender asked him what the problem was. The carpenter (we'll call him Joe), Joe said to the bartender: "my whole life i've been a carpenter". the bartender says "ok". Joe says "i've built bookshelves, but am I called a bookshelf builder?" "I've built several houses, but am i called a housebuilder?" "i've built bridges, but am I called a bridgebuilder?""but you have sex with one goat..."

I am so sorry for forgetting to post on the Introductions sections! I feel like such a fool! But I did and please forgive me.

And just if anybody is wondering, on my introduction it states that I live in the outskirts (in the country) which makes it weird to be contributing to my local church. Even though I have difficulty going to it (roughly 10 miles in town when I only own horses), I still want to contribute all I can to God and his greatness - and yes that involves baking cookies for my savior. I do make the journey every two weeks and on every special holy day.

10 miles is pretty close, so that is no excuse. Back in the 70's, we had to walk 50 miles on bare feet.
Are you an atheist?

The others here have answered the question about your son, but I read something quite alarming in your post. I highlighted it above.

Unless God has taken your wife, there's no reason for a man to be doing women's work in the danged kitchen!

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Ephesians 5:22-24

If your church needs cookies, tell your wife to bake some! If she sasses you back, discipline her and then tell her again, more firmly this time, to bake some danged cookies for Jesus!

[Billy Bob Jenkins]

I would give the kid a second chance before chopping off his appendages. He is young. In a year or so it will be evident whether you need to amputate or not.

If you do, make sure everything is sanitary. My wife Ethel is currently wrestling with gangrene.

Is today national gay day or something?

What the heck were you doing baking cookies Jeremiah?

You have yet to explain why Mrs J (if there is one) was not in the kitchen.

How did you get this child you speak of? Did you and your boyfriend steal it?

Please please please
Pray your gay away!
