Hello,

Not much to say. Stumbled onto the forum through a search out of slight boredom at work. Found this site since it's one of the ones that the network doesn't block. But downtime and boredom at the office is probably when I'll be mostly active here.

Long story short, been a Christian for a while, Church-goer longer. Don't currently attend one. Went to school for theology, art, and computers. Currently work as a graphic designer. I like talking with people online. From Virginia, still live in Virginia, don't particularly like Virginia, LOL. Married with kids.

Thanks for taking the time to read this awkward introduction.
Welcome to the forums!

So where is Brother Roy hiding. We should have seen some input by now.:)
Sorry, on the day I posted this, I joined a few boards and ended up posting and replying to people on another board. This is my first time "finding" this board again since posting this new member thread back then.

Not really "retired" in the sense of being retired from doing graphics work. Still doing it.

One thing I'm liking here as opposed to the other forum, this one still has an edit button. The horrors of my bad grammar and typos are plaguing the other one. LOL

But thanks for the very warm welcome everyone!

Totally agree about the edit button @BrotherRoyVa79. It's been a God send for me and my not so good eye sight and spelling mistakes :eek:

Welcome. And good luck.

Not going to lie, but this seems kind of ominous. Should I be worried? LOL

Fully agree. To be fair to the other board, after talking to a few people, seems they did it to try to curtail some intellectual dishonesty and people saying things, editing it out, and claiming they never said it. So I can understand. Just sucks when all of my bad writing is baked into the interwebs for all to see. But then again I've done the whole blogging thing before and might put up some websites soon, so there's that. LOL

This happens here sometimes too @BrotherRoyVa79, people editing what they have said but that just goes to show their dishonesty. As Christians, this ought not to be....We have a blog section at the top. You should create some blogs there. I will certainly read them :)

@BrotherRoyVa79 We also have an ignore option. I hope you won't need it.
Also there are different levels at which you can fellowship. For myself I prefer the nice guys and don't like getting into heated discussions, of which there are many. Each to his own - as they say.

I waited to respond so to have more experience here so to answer you from that perspective.

You haven't posted much so maybe you've figured out the badgering false clique that operates in majority here.

If you stand for the scripture, rebuke those who insist Jesus was a mortal with a sin nature, and your salvation is untenable because you have to live afraid you'll lose it at any moment, you won't be appreciated much.

You'll be called names. Not names from righteous God appointed judgement, like blasphemer, false teacher, liar [deserved for the dedicated trolls] ,etc... [Those abound here].

No, you'll be called worldly names, you'll be called atheist, idiot,stupid, pagan,fool. If you're female your sex will be attacked.

If you don't respond to the hater bait in the same verbiage as they cast it, don't levy worldly insult, don't concede to follow false teaching, etc...

You'll be ignored. Because ''they'' pm in a united front to do that if you remain here.

See this site really is a Bible lesson experience in itself.

The aforementioned are that whom Christ said he never knew.

Some are atheist trolls posing in his name, just to spread falsehood against the scripture. It's their hobby because they're just not good people.

Others are likely Christian but have not a clue.

If you hang around you'll see.
I can say this because the clique has me set on their ignore list. :) Though if hate does respond you'll certainly read what I was warning you about.

Rarely do actual members of the church realize the world today 2000+ years after Christ is worse than before he arrived.

One reason the Jews don't believe Yeshua was Messiah is because after his ''actual'' arrival world peace should ensue.

This forum,and others like it, is the microcosm of the worlds macrocosm.

The darkness here warring against the light is a small piece of what is this world at large.

It's why ''the church'' is not biblical. Because,as God knows, that's because there are people in it.

Bloviate scripture, defend,judge , cast aspursions, behave as if one needs Jesus while claiming to know Jesus, hate people who disagree with a pov, gather as a hate filled clique against Christian,
[See the lines below that are struck through? I didn't do that. It posted that way when I sent this reply.]

etc...
It's proof labels don't change minds.
Humans are possessive by nature. What greater most egocentric possession is there than to think the source of all that exists likes ''you'' more than any other thing created?
But you're told to be in this faith you must deny ''self''.

What a ride.
God is everywhere. And all life is a lesson.

Good luck.
Wherever you go.:)
