Dear Friends
Since the board seemed a little slack, I thought I'd stick up a post. This is a conversation between the new (creature) me and my old evangelical self.
----------------
Hello. Are you saved?
Yes, by grace I am saved, and am working out my salvation with fear and trembling.
Who told you to say that?
Why, that's in the bible, friend.
Hmmmm. Ok, are you born again?
No, I am not. I am begotten to newness of life, spirit begotten -- and if faithful I'll be born again in the spirit when this flesh passes away.
The bible says 'born again'.
Well, begotten and born are from the greek word gennao-
Here you go trying to confuse the issue. The King James translators knew how to translate words. Who are you to try and change their meaning?
I'm not changing any meaning. You can look it up in Strongs Concordance--
Don't need to. The KJV was good enough for Jesus, and it's good enough for me.
I see.
Do you believe in the Trinity?
No, I don't.
You're in a cult, then. You a JW?
No, I'm not.
Well, you talk just like one. You must be a branch of the JW's.
Actually, the JW's came from the Bible Students Association. I study with them.
See! I knew it. You're a blinded cult member, doing exactly what your leaders tell you to do.
Don't you do what your preacher says?
Yes, but that's different.
Why?
Because my church is accepted in society. We have colleges and a credit union.
So? Where does Jesus tell us to establish colleges and credit unions?
You cultists are all alike. Brainwashed.
Well, one of us is brainwashed.
Hey, buddy, I'm not brainwashed. I'm washed in the blood... Glory!
Whatever.
You know, if you don't believe in the trinity you'll go to Hell.
Ah! Finally. You know that hell is merely the condition of death, it is sheol in the Old Testament, Hades in the New.
My bible says hell is a real place of flames and undying worms and unending agony, and you're going there buddy, if you don't accept Jesus as your savior.
I have accepted Jesus as my savior.
No, you havent; you've accepted the WatchTower's version of Jesus.
And you've accepted the papacy's version of Jesus.
Well, them catholics are wrong on a lot of things but they are right on who Jesus is... a trinitarinan God.
Tell me this. Can God die?
No.
But Jesus died?
Yes.
How?
The MAN Jesus died. The GOD Jesus was still alive in heaven.
Hmmmm... so you have only a man for a sacrifice, not God?
Jesus blood was divine, just like in the song 'The Old Rugged Cross'.
Well, that's hymn book theology.
My hymnbook from the church of the Nazarene is right, you cultist!
Would you like to study these things sometimes?
Not with you. You confuse the scriptures.
I think your church confuses the scriptures.
You're wrong if you think that.
No, I'm not.
Are too.
AM not.
Are too.
Am not.
-----------------------
And so on.
Thanks for reading all this.
Blessings to you,
BMark
