Hi! I like this idea and would like to possibly join. but I own a guild myself and don't want to just get rid of it.
My character looks exactly like my profile pic and the username is Captainstrongeagle.
Knights of Christ [Are you a Christian looking for a guild? Look no further!]
If it hasn't been pointed out already, "Real Christian" means a very different thing to different people.
What does this mean exactly?
Some might think it means you have to just believe in the bible, others may think you have to actively do stuff in your community while others might even think it means you have to follow the bible exactly as it is, which includes not mixing different colours of cloth and whatnot.
A true Christian must believe that Christ, who is God incarnate, died in our place to fully pay for sins we committed, that he was buried, and that he literally rose to life on the third day.
If any one of those elements are not believed, then the person is not a Christian. Mormons don't believe that Christ is God incarnate, and thus aren't Christian. Catholics don't believe that Christ fully paid for our sins, and thus aren't Christians. The resurrection is one of the most important parts of Gospel doctrine, and those who don't believe it aren't Christians.
Other doctrinal differences have no immediate impact on your eternal state. Only the above components of the Gospel determine your eternal state.
So... god incarnated into jesus and promptly kill himself at the hands of roman, to pay off for a sin which he imposed on us when he placed the tree with the forbidden fruits in the garden knowing fully that Eve will get fooled by the serpent...
And top it all off, the whole sacrifice thing is kinda pointless considering Jesus lived after the whole ordeal. So in the end, it was god who sacrificed himself to god in order to give us a chance at been saved from something which god indirectly created...
..

*jackie chang confused face*
So... ugh... why do we celebrate some fat guy on Jesus's birthday again?
how dare this guy question what he dosent understand?
Why do we let him bother us like this?
we dont need to take this!
I am a loyal christian and my faith will never falter
Its easy to insult something you dont understand
The only ones affraid of judgement are cowards
I am not affraid of you, heretic
I question the things I don't understand
I bother you because it is the Christians who are banging on people's door and threaten them with hell and damnation
You are a bigot, like the rest of your kind.
You are a Christian who doesn't understand anything and substitute the unknown with God as suppose to knowledge and fact.
You are only person here who is afraid of judgement, not me.
You are nothing, and i am not afraid of you, nor your God.
i see heretic, you exist for one purpose and one alone to pick and agitate at us, i am no bigot who bangs on doors threatening anyone with anything, i appreciate all races as almighty god intended, now you look in the mirror and tell me who the real bigot is because you are the one attcking us
Okay, okay, okay, look.
You hate God.
That's basically what this is. You hate him. And it kinda makes sense in some respects. From before the world was formed, before time itself was created, God decided that you some humans would sin, die, and go to hell. He created them with the intention of putting them in hell for eternity. His justification for doing so was for committing sins he ordained them to do. And when you try to accuse him of wrongdoing for that, you can't because he makes the laws, not you. You'd like to accuse him of being unfair, but you can't because he decides what is fair, not you.
He's untouchable.
And so what do you do? You do the craziest, dumbest, stupidest thing you could possibly do in this situation: you turn around and snub him. I'd love to tell you "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FRIKKIN' MIND!!??", but I won't. Suffice it to say that snubbing him is probably a bad idea. The best response is simply to surrender. Give up your rebellion against him. You can't win. You don't stand a chance.
So repent of your sins and believe.
But that's not all! There's more! Being a servant and child of God is actually the easy life. Sure, your life on earth might be hell, but what's that compared to an eternity in heaven? When you're his child, he loves you a great deal. You will never be in need for anything. That's not to say you'll be wealthy or prosperous; in fact, chances are it'll be the opposite. But he will take care of you. And considering how harsh this world can be, being taken care of by God himself is a pretty appealing prospect. And even dying doesn't look so bad! When you die, you go to heaven and live an even better life. It's a win-win situation.
Speaking of heaven, I know some people imagine it to be boring. I doubt that. God's going to make a brand spanking new earth populated by billions (or trillions) of ageless, sinless, perfect humans. MINECRAFT, HERE WE COME!! I'd imagine it to be a creative builder's paradise. Who knows, we could be playing Spiral Knights in heaven someday! W00T!
If you're a Christian, you've got a lot to look forward to. God's really a loving, generous sort of being. Being nasty just isn't his cup of tea. "He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked," it says. He created you in his own image, so why *would* he take pleasure in it? Look, you're his staunch enemy, and he still lets you sit down and play Spiral Knights and have fun. How bad can he be?
I don't hate god, such a being does omnipotentist, a being of bondless power could not possibly create something so flawed such as you and I. A perfect being does not need of my worship or my love. And if you god is poweful that I cannnot hurt him, then why does he proceeds to create me and all those whom he knew will rebel against him? Seems pointless considering he could create someone like you over me, does he want me to hate him? Is that my purpose?
I mean really, god is, and i quote, omnipotent, omniscient and benevolent. Let's give you the benefit of the doubt here and assume your god is real, then he is a bad person (or just really stupid), why you might ask? Considering this, Thin, if you were born in Sudai Arabia and was brought up in an muslim family, would you have created the knights of christ? Or the knights of Muhammad? Chances are, the latter. You and many Christians think that life is god's test, don't get me wrong, I love being tested, but the problem with this test is that it is not a fair one.
How is god's test not fair you ask? Just look into the mirror and you will see why, each human being is born in a different environment, they were brought up by the unique culture and religion at the place of their birth. So it is simple for a person like you to go to heaven since you are born in America, where Christianity is the mainstream religion, but for an African child soldier who was born in the middle of a war zone, god seems to be a very far fetched concept. The chance of this child soldier ever living a normal life or noticing god are boarderline non-existent and he will eventually suffer in hell for those he killed. Even if this is God's sick sense of humour and I was meant to take the joke, this joke is too cruel.
And here I am, after living 18 years on this dystopia of a planet, typing words to people who can see no reason or comon sense, I asked my self, did I come here in the name of the mighty Zenu to convince Thin that he was created by aliens or was I meant to threaten him with Zeus's lightning bolt? Chances are, no matter what I say, he will always see himself as a righteous Christian who smites the unbelievers across the internet in the name of the supposely all loving Yahweh. Consider yourself the Victor here, Thin, it is not like a victory on the internet mean anything, we will probably never meet each other in real life anyway and I think that might be for the better.
And please, when you go to heaven, tell god that it is illogical to create a pool of water before creating reality and he should reconsider the build order next time when he tries to create an universe. Peace out.
Everything after my post is why people dislike both Athiests and Christians.
C'mon guys, have some discussion without throwing the word "HERETIC" in every other sentence, or going on about some retribution the guy doesn't believe in. You trying to tell him to become Christian is the same as him telling you to be Athiest. You're all convinced YOU'RE right and not him, and vice versa. This is literally just a war of people who can't see the other side's points.
I think I want to believe humankind has a future, so I'll stop visiting this thread.
Didn't we already have a similar discussion a few months ago that was more or less transferred to another thread (see post #44 on the first page)?
Though this subforum is about advertising and discussing guilds, this particular thread is only about guild recruitment for the Knights of Christ.
Though I do enjoy a good discussion/arguement/fight/war I don't think the proper place for it is here, but rather on a thread such as the one linked to in post #44 or perhaps a totally different one.
In fact, I would like anyone who writes here that is not interested in joining the guild or asking questions (within reason) about the guild or monitoring those questions and requests to join, to please leave. Dropping by to say "hi" or something similar is not too much of a problem though.
On another note, thanks for keeping the thread on the front page of the subforum this long. I guess I must thank all of you for that. I was sure it was gone because I know that I neglected it. Thanks Thin, for keeping tabs on it.
I will make an effort to return to monitoring it.

I know it's been awhile, but I genuinely appreciate your suggestions for revitalizing the KoC a few months ago. They have helped us become more active and unified, and to grow in number.
I am sad to see that you have left the game [Insert genuine moment of silence] and am grateful for your input.
~Elt
P.S. I hope you read this, Zxz. (And yes, you can post a reply to say that you read it if you do.)
On another note, thanks for keeping the thread on the front page of the subforum this long.I guess I must thank all of you for that.
Thank you Eltrooper, finally, a christian who gives me credit for generating so much publicity for their guild. I will, like you requested, leave this thread in peace and do not bother with you and your guild any further. Unless of course, you and Thin try to spread preaching activities beyond this thread. With that been said, enjoy the rest of your day...
Well, it wasn't just you. You did supply a sizable amount of text to the thread though. I had to give credit where it was due.
Thanks for being an active part of the thread, but I am at the same time glad that you decided to heed my request which will contribute greatly to allowing this thread to go back to recruiting people which was its original purpose (See post #2. It's been edited to clarify the purpose of the thread for all, especially newcomers.).

"the best response is simply to surrender. Give up your rebellion against him. You can't win. You don't stand a chance.
So repent of your sins and believe." No. We will not force him. he can believe what he wants to believe just like we can believe what we want to believe.
"Everything after my post is why people dislike both Athiests and Christians.

Well. everyone have a good time! :)
Did you not read what I posted just a few posts above?
This is a guild recruitment thread and not a guild discussion thread. I am sure that I made that clear.
Once again, for future readers, please only post things related to the purpose of the thread (Post #2):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{"It [this thread] is here for those interested in joining the guild to tell Thin or I that they want to join, as well as ask questions about the guild and learn more about us from what others have asked.
Feel free to add feedback or suggestions to improve the guild, or put your application below."}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and nothing else, to prevent this thread from losing its intended purpose.

Ok. I wasn't trying to make a guild discussion thread. I'll.... Just go now......
Oh. I really couldn't tell what you were getting at, so I decided to reiterate my posts above. I thought you were getting at things you apparently weren't.
I apologize for the misunderstanding.

A young man working in the army was constantly humiliated because he believed in God. One day the captain wanted to humiliate him before the troops. He called the young man and said: – Young man come here, take the key and go and park the Jeep in front. the young man replied: – I cannot drive! The captain said: – Well then ask for assistance of your God! Show us that He exist! The young man takes the key and walked to the vehicle and begins to pray…… …He parks the jeep at the place PERFECTLY well as the captain wanted. The young man came out of the jeep and saw them all crying. They all said together: – We want to serve your God! The young soldier was astonished, and asked what was going on? The CAPTAIN crying opened the hood of the jeep by showing the young man that the car had no engine. Then the boy said: See? This is the God I serve, THE GOD OF IMPOSSIBLE, the God who gives life to what does not exist. You may think there are things still impossible BUT WITH GOD EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. To the person reading this, I pray the Lord work A SUPER MIRACLE in your life today In Jesus Name I Pray..
Me: God, can I ask You a question?
God: Sure
Me: Promise You won't get mad
God: I promise
Me: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?
God: What do u mean?
Me: Well, I woke up late
God: Yes
Me: My car took forever to start
God: Okay
Me: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait
God: Huummm
Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call
God: All right
Me: And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?
God: Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one of My Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that
Me (humbled): OH
GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.
Me: (ashamed)
God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.
Me (embarrassed):Okay
God: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered.
Me (softly): I see God
God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.
Me: I'm Sorry God
God: Don't be sorry, just learn to Trust Me.... in All things , the Good & the bad.
Me: I will trust You.
God: And don't doubt that My plan for your day is Always Better than your plan.
Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.
God: You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I Love looking after My Children...
REPOST if you Believe in HIM
Worth posting.
i only want to encurrage believers and non-believers alike to the true path to redomption witch is christianity, and any christians can join so dont mistake the subject above, i am a simple believer and all i do is just believe and sometimes pray
I offer a friendly bump. Those seeking a Christian guild where we actually talk about Christian things have come to the right place.
Those looking for a quiet guild without controversy are better-off elsewhere. The very name of Christ brings a sword wherever it goes, and when you join this guild, you are signing up to have your name associated with Christ. If you are willing to take the risk and associate yourself with God almighty, we're here for you.
So what do you say? Will you show the world you're not ashamed to be called Christian?
Not only do our members play Spiral Knights, but a wide variety of other games. Many of us have Steam accounts and, because of this, a Steam group for the KoC was made to coordinate events and communicate outside the game. PM Eltrooper or Thinslayer about joining the KoC Steam community.
