Question.

Who is your favorite saint?

Mine is Saint Micheal, the head Archangel, the slayer of demons, and the guardian of soldiers.

Now might be a good time for me to mention that currently much of the work that I do as a paladin involves what the bible says about the apocalypse. If anyone would like me to talk some more about that, then just ask me.

If you worship Satan you will most likely go to Hell when you die, and the suffering that you will have to endure in Hell is far worse than anything that you could possibly experience here in this life.

Think about it. Is it really worth suffering un-imaginable pain and torment in Hell for the rest of eternity?

If you renew your faith in God and worship God again you can avoid eternal suffering in Hell.

Why what does it mather I'll end up in hell anyway...I can't go to heaven cause I break atleast 1 of the 10 commandments

God made all lifeforms because God wanted to have people to keep Him company. Ever since God created humans He has given us signs that He is always looking over us and loves us. In a way, all of us are God's children.

yes and Lucifer thinks that we are crap...and we are, Lucifer wanted to get the throne and not put all his attention on human beings or even the earth but on the angles...but Lucifer lost the holy war and was sent to hell...so he became ruler there (Lucifer was among the highest ranks of angels)....basicly folowers of Satanisme wwant the world to die thus actualy making them Lucifers only loved human lifeforms...

Mine is aslo Saint Micheal. I even keep a copy of Saint Micheal's prayer in my wallet at all times.

"St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safeguard against the wiles and wickedness of the devil. Restrain him, O God, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin and destruction of souls.

Lucifer thinks that we are crap

I'm afraid I dont understand your line of reasoning Joic. You worship Satan, who thinks humans are worthless and stupid. Over God who loves humans so much that he gave his only son for us.

Don't you even care that you're taking your life on the wrong path? And by what you say it seems like you don't care where you go. So, wouldn't it better in a place of eternal goodness?

God loves everyone and will do anything for His children. The devils loves none but himself and will do nothing for his follows. So, just take some time and think about it. Accept God into your heart. He will forgive you for who you are.

Humans are by nature 'not-perfect'. It is partly for this reason that God forgives us of so many of our wrong-doings.

As for breaking 1 of the ten commandments, tell me of one living human here on earth today hho has never broken so much as 1 of the ten commandments. Basicaly all human beings have at one time or another broken at least 1 of the ten commandments, and God still forgives them if they are truly sorry for doing what they did.

God did not abandon them, and He has not abandoned you either.

basicly folowers of Satanisme wwant the world to die thus actualy making them Lucifers only loved human lifeforms...

Satan does not love his followers or minions. I have had to deal with one of Satan's demonic minions before and it was filled with loathing and hatred towards everyone. Satan does not reward his followers or even his own minions with any kind of love.

A short while back one of my friends was briefly possessed by a demon that has been causing trouble for the group of paladins that I am a part of. I have also been trying to track this demon down so that I can find out what it is trying to accomplish.

I have also helped my friend bless his home to keep the demon out after my friend was briefly possessed by the demon.

In the Middle Ages, Palidins were a group of high ranking generals who governed sections of the kings land and commanded the kings army. They were known for their excellent leadership and die hard loyalship, and were renounced fighters.

Well, it seems very, very had to believe. Wouldn't a paladin be out during the most of the day? And I don't think they'd have much time to make a website and a forum, and be here on BBS.

When Andrew said, "Are you alirght?" He meant something around the lines of "Are you sane", or "are you 100%."

It just seem EXtremely hard to believe. And because there's nothing to prove that just adds to how hard it is to believe that you're a "paladin."

We're getting off topic. I'm sorry if this annoyed you, or anything like that.

Response to NG Church 2004-10-24 00:32:51


This may seem out of topic, but I have to seek advice from you ppl.

I dreamed that I died and then this light of different colors came to me. I ran to my mother telling her what I saw but she didn't notice that I was talking to her, as if she ignored me, then ran back to were thelight is. First it looked like a small dot then grew larger. I rubbed my eyes thinking I'm lossing my vision. When I reach out my hand to touch it, it suddenly vanished. When I woke up, I felt I was about to cry.....

What does this mean? Is it a sign from God? I'm confused and looking for some answers.....

Here is what I think that your dream means:
On some level you are afraid of what will happen to you when you die, and that God will not forgive you for whatever you may have done.

If this actually is a message from God then it means that God will forgive you, but you must first ask for it before it is too late to do so.

The Reality of Hell
Revelation 20:15-20:15

The Reality of Hell

Text: Rev. 20.15

Thesis: To look at the picture of hell painted for us through inspiration so that we will be
encouraged to live in such a way as not to go there.

Introduction:

(1) It is said that for the Christian, earth is the only hell that he/she will know. For the Non-Christian, earth is the only heaven that he/she will know.
(2) Sadly, many people do not believe in the reality of hell.
(a) Many conclude that God’s love will allow many, if not all, to be saved.
(b) They forget about God’s justice.
(c) Some even believe that hell is only annihilation.
(3) Nevertheless, the Bible teaches the reality of hell.
(4) Illustration – Unbeliever asked Christian: Suppose you learn there is no Heaven?
Christian asked Unbeliever: Suppose you learn there is a Hell?

Discussion:

I. The Purpose of Hell

A. It was originally prepared for the Devil and his angels (Rev. 21.10).
B. God’s justice demands that man pay for his sins.
1. Jesus died for all men (Heb. 2.9-10).
2. All who accept this gift will be saved from God’s wrath (Rom. 5.9).
3. Those who do not accept this gift will meet God’s wrath (2 Thess. 1.7-9).

II. The Place of Hell

A. It is a lake of fire (Rev. 21.15).
1. This fire is not quenched (Mark 9.48).
2. You never get use to the pain.
B. It is a place of torment (Luke 16.23-24).
C. It is a place of consciousness (Luke 16.23-24).
1. One of the saddest statements is, “Child, remember […]” (Luke 16.25).
2. Degree of punishment – 2 Pet. 2.20-22 (Let opportunity slip)
D. It is a place without the slightest hope of release (Matt. 25.46 – Everlasting destruction).
E. It is a place of darkness (Matt. 8.12).
F. It is a place where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matt. 25.30).
G. It is a place where the worm does not die (Mark 9.48).
H. It is a place where you are separated from God’s presence (God is in Heaven).

III. The People of Hell

[The Majority – Matt. 7.13-14]

A. Those who do not believe in God (2 Thess. 1.7a.).
B. Those who do not obey God (2 Thess. 1.7b; Matt. 7.21).
C. Those who did obey but have fallen away (2 Pet. 2.20-22).
D. Simply, those whose names are not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life (Rev. 20.15).
E. It is said that “Hell is paved with good intentions, roofed in with lost opportunities” (Portuguese Proverb).

Conclusion:

(1) Hell is just as real as is Heaven.
(2) Nevertheless, because of God’s grace, we get to decide upon where we want to choose eternity.
(3) “He who hesitates has already decided.”
(4) What will you decide?

Response to NG Church 2004-10-24 23:10:10


I need help. I have always believed in God and sometimes believed that I have felt His presence, yet no matter how much I've prayed, I have never had a sign that could not be discounted as a coincidence (although I do not necessarily believe that they are coincidences). The closer I tried to get to him, the more I realized it was harder to get close to Him. The more I asked Him to come into my heart, to do what He wants with me, the more I ended up sinning.

I feel somewhat empty right now. When I want to pray, I can't focus. I went to church today (half way through) for the first time in weeks. I'm falling really behind in work and He's not helping me. I feel neglected, sometimes I feel evil, maybe there is something bad in me that makes Him reject me.

Yet, sometimes I feel so thankful, because I feel like He has had a direct influence on my life. Basically, I'm really confused... I do not doubt his existence, although I am not sure of it; however, I feel very disheartened. I need Him and I need to know the truth. The more I've been searching for Him, the more I hear about ghost stories, other thousands of other religions and beliefs, problems of the people of Christianity, and I feel more confused than I ever have been. Without Him I feel dead, yet the more I seek Him, the more He confuses me.

Do I sound crazy? Maybe I am... but I like it that way =).

Help.

Oh btw, Paladin, what the heck are you talking about? If you really have psychic abilities, tap into my mind and talk to me. I'm bored.

God works in mysterious way, first and above all remember that. Also remember that the signs he gives may not be signs that are tangable. You need to realize that he is with you. Always. Even if you dont know it.

This is a good time to tell one of my favorite stories. It isnt a Bible Story, but I still love it.

A man was walking down a beach with God (the beach symbols his life) and threw his whole life he sees two sets of footprints. One set are his and the other are God's. Then he sees the times in his life that were the hardest, but during those times there are only one set of footprints. He is devistated by this. What did he do wrong? Why hadent God walked with him during the worst moments in life? So he asks God "Why, when I needed you the most, did you abandon me?"
To him God answers "My son I was always with you"
So the man screams "Then why were there only one set of footprints?"
God said to the man, "My son, those were the times I carried you"

So remember dude, even if you dont feel it, God is still, and will always, be with you.

maybe there is something bad in me that makes Him reject me.

Thats Satan, and he will always try to find away to sway you from God, dont loose faith. Keep beliving.

Yet, sometimes I feel so thankful, because I feel like He has had a direct influence on my life.

He has, He certanily has.

Basically, I'm really confused... I do not doubt his existence, although I am not sure of it; however, I feel very disheartened. I need Him and I need to know the truth.

Like I said He is always with you. If you need the truth there are two ways to get it. The Bible and through Prayer.

other thousands of other religions and beliefs, problems of the people of Christianity

There are, but you just have to keep faith in our God. He is the One.

and I feel more confused than I ever have been. Without Him I feel dead, yet the more I seek Him, the more He confuses me.

He may confuse you. But remember we humans are imperfect. We just might not be albe to understand Him.

Do I sound crazy? Maybe I am... but I like it that way =).

Not crazy, your just dealing with your own doubts. We all have them. But I dont understand you like having them?

Help.

In every way I can.

Response to NG Church 2004-10-25 17:19:57


Today the Sermon is a bit different.

This Sunday instead of a Gospel lession, me preacher invited a Minister to talk about his Parish. He was the Minister of a Prison Church. He talked about how he has seen more faith in convicts these days than he sees in regular people. He talked about how many/most people feel they are better than the people in prison. And to my shame I felt myself thinking "I am better than those crooks in prison"

Boy did he put me in my place.

He talked about a Bible Story (which one i cant remember)
Its about a good man and a tax collecter who both go into a church. The good man kneels and says to God" Lord thank you for not making me be like the evil people. Like the Whore, robbers, adulters, hertics. Thank you for not making me like that tax collector over there. I am a great Christian. I give 10% of my money to the church, I follow the ten commandments, I am a good Christian."
Meanwhile the tax collecter goes to a corner and prays too. He says, "Lord I know that I am a sinner, that I'm not as good as that man over there. Please forgive me for my transgreations, and help me walk in the light."

Now out of those two who do you think was better in God's eyes?
(For those who are prideful shall be humbled, and those who are humble shall be lifted up)

I was very humbled. I can tell you now, I dont consider myself better than those people anymore.
