    Oh *sigh* Lucius Julius, not here as well.

    He wants to know what you think about his brand of christianity.
    No he doesn't.
    He is trying to convert people.
    He is kinda of a laughing stock over at TWC for it and not very popular since he pretty much do hit and runs.
    Posts a thread filled with misinformation copy-pasted from some christian/creationist website trying to convert people and then is never seen again until a few days later when another thread pops up with the same type of message and leaves again.
    Once we did get him to reply to a discussion he created and his response was pretty much "you are all blind therefore no point in discussing with you".

    Anyway, LJ, what's the website where you copied this from ??

    We don't 'do' laughingstocks' here. Everyone gets to have his/her say, with respectful consideration shown.

    On the other hand, we also don't 'do' unattributed, un-linked copy/pastes either. We see that as cheating, a padding of one's own views by employing an unidentified 'ringer'; that ringer's words masquerading as one's own.

    Thread is temporarily closed, pending staff inquiry.

    Thanks for all contributions thus far.

    Well we don't do that at TWC either.
    Just certain members who do the same thing over and over again over time become one.

    For clarity: the opening post contains material originally written by Roy B. Zuch, and is viewable on the web HERE.
    Still hasn't learned.

    Do note that I'm not bashing LJ or his beliefs.
    I respect him and his beliefs as I suggests others to do as well.
    He is overall a friendly poster that unlike other's like him doesn't flame other people.
    However I do ask that he respects others people's religion(and athiests) and in some cases their sexual preference(I'm pretty sure there is some homosexuals on this forum) which I know he doesn't.

    I didn't copy this from a website, I had "What is Christianity" in real life, while typing it here. But the website is this: http://www.atstracts.org/readarticle.php?id=46

    A Moderator just told me about that website.

    A relationship with Jesus Christ? How about a relationship with GOD?
    God and Jesus are one and the same under the Trinity.

    Which is exactly like what you typed hence copied and if you copy then you must provide a source. It's the common form. If it's a book then name the author and book. If it's a movie then state the movie etc.
    Trying to pass off things as your own is dishonest and I'm pretty sure the bible goes against that.

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Nah, I prefer mandolins.

    This is what they are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandolin

    Sorry to go off topic, but wanted to clear that with you.


    This is the only right version of christianity for the record!

    Seriously, it's pretty much what I have been raised with, not so sure about it anymore as some may know, but it sounds very known to me, which in turn is kinda scary because it always sounds the same.

    I do however think that some of you could be a bit nicer anyway, believe it or not but there's no reason to ridicule him, I don't think he had any evil intentions.
    I have a question, Husar, do you truly believe? Your post suggests that you are Christian.

    Yes, they are, but you run the risk of seperating them by focusing on the Jesus of the Gospels far too much. Those biographies were written about the man he may have been the God Incarnate but that was not how he manifested.

    Although, the Holy Trinity isn't actually in the Bible at all, though.
