Influential quote: Living without protecting what needs to be protected is the same as death! Once you decide to protect something, you protect it until the very end! - Shinpachi Shimura

Out of all the Christian guilds this one is more informative. This is interesting and I might do some inquiring of my own.

Influential quote:

"And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him." - 1 John 4:16 KJV

"God is the only being who, in order to rule, does not need even to exist. " - Charles Baudelaire

"The universe seems wondrous to me, with or without God. It has powerful lines and uncompromising ways. Patience and time sit like sages on the planets, strong and impersonal. There is a stark beauty to all of this."

Additional Information: I'm starting college this year. I don't know if that means I'll have more time or less time to myself. If more, then I plan to begin my study in Ancient Greek and Hebrew. Language and religion, specifically Christianity, are my primary areas of interest. My Interlinear Bible should be arriving tomorrow and it has the original text in it so I'm rather exited.

So....yeah.

What drew you to this guild? Jesus Christ.

Influential quote: "There's this passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you." I been saying that s**t for years. And if you heard it, that meant your a**. I never gave much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was some cold-blooded s**t to say to a ******** 'fore I popped a cap in his a**. But I saw some s**t this mornin' made me think different. See, now I'm thinking, maybe it means you're the evil man, and I'm the righteous man, and Mr. 9mm here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous a** in the valley of darkness. Or, it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that s**t ain't the truth. The truth is, you're the weak, and I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd."

biggrin

What drew you to this guild?: I was invited by the leader, and when I learned what the guild was all about, I couldn't say "no".

Influential quote:

Also



That one basically says "The church, called the bride of Christ, is unfaithful in its vows, which makes it an unfaithful bride, and therefore a whore. But without it, I would not have been born in Christ, and I would have no knowledge of Him." Just like you should correct your mother when she becomes unfaithful to your father, so too must the Church be corrected when it becomes unfaithful to Christ.

Thank you, I'm glad to be here. I think I could really learn alot from this guild.

Thank you, I couldn't think of the name. I really like the quote. It's one of those quotes that isn't too long but says so much.
