For a "Doktor", you do like to rely on conjecture rather than fact.

I'm surprised. God haters like you usually believe that religion was created by elites to keep the poor people in their place. Your idea is quite novel, albeit equally baseless.

No. (Revelation 1:14).

We all want answers to why we are here and what we were made for. The Bible has the answer. God made us to fear and obey Him (Ecclesiastes 12:13), so we can be with Him forever in comfort (John 14:2 ). Landover Baptist Church helps us to fulfill this purpose that God has for all of us by sharing the uncensored Holy Bible.

4. We need God’s forgiveness and healing for our failings and God’s mercy to help us become better people.

Perhaps you’ve been carrying around deep spiritual wounds or painful sins that have burdened you for years. True Christianity gives us a way to recognize our faults, failings, and hurts before God and other True Christians™. God can regenerate our hearts and make us "new creations" in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), so essentially all our guilt is hidden away from His omniscient eyes (Isaiah 43:25) and instead He enjoys the Blood of Christ (Romans 5:9)!

3. Our families and communities need to be built on a strong foundation of faith and superior morals.

If you want to give your children the greatest treasure in the world, give them the gift of faith. If you love them, you'll know how to stop them from ruining their eternal lives by relying on independent thought and critical thinking (Proverbs 3:5). A True Christian™ community also provides us with a source of spirit-filled friends in which we can find support and strength when life gets tough. No one can circle the wagons and keep out the rest of the world like a tight-knit group of True Christians™!

2. The perks are to die for!

Only True Christians™ will be invited to Heaven. In Heaven, we can expect all kinds of new surprises, like totally new laws of nature (Revelation 7:16), no pesky digestive issues, which means no need for embarrassing bathroom breaks (Romans 14:17), nice gifts, like hidden manna and a special rock just for us with a new name (Revelation 2:17), and most wonderfully, True Christians will get to judge and rule New Earth (Revelation 5:10)!

1. The Christian Faith is TRUE!

The only really good reason to believe something is because it is true, and the Faith of Christ is true (Proverbs 30:5)! Baptists were the first to realize this and thus follow Christ 2,000 years ago. It is the Brothers and Sisters of Christ who will inherit the Kingdom (Luke 12:32). Only the Christian Faith can offer a deep union with Christ through the Scripture, prayer, and community.

If you've been led to our friendly forums, it's because the LORD is tugging on your soul, gently wooing you into a life of Love! Don't throw away this opportunity! Look deeply into your sad, hollow heart, take note of all the things you don't like about yourself. Know that God hates that even more than you (as well as things to which you are completely ignorant through self-denial and cognitive dissonance), and yet He will still consider accepting you as His Own if you but have faith in His Son, Jesus. Will you do that? Will you discard your pathetic life as it is now, the life that never got you anywhere, and instead embrace a New Life? Embrace a Life with Christ! It's easy! You can start with this Sinner's Prayer:
Dear LORD,

I acknowledge that you, Jesus, are the Son of God. I believe that you were born of the Virgin Mary in a miraculous way (impregnating her with the Holy Spirit, which is You, without her knowledge or consent, or even the benefit of physical sperm, but by the very will of God, who is, amazingly, also You). I believe you died on the cross for my sins. I believe you were resurrected, floated up into the air, through the atmosphere, and straight to Heaven. I know that your divine nature means you were impervious to the physical effects of the lack of oxygen in space, that your divine body saved you from any danger of your blood boiling, your eyeballs exploding, or your lungs turning into red slush.

I admit that I was born a sinner by your design, and there is nothing I could have done to prevent it. I know I have led a life of sinning by not obeying your every command. It tears me up inside. My guilt is overwhelming.

Please forgive me.

Please change my heart so I can be a willing slave and do whatever you want me to do.

Please change my heart to want to read the Holy Bible and agree with all of it.

Be my Savior.

By my LORD and Master.

I beg you, save me from the very Hell you created for me in the beginning of time in case I didn't fear and obey you.

In Jesus' Name I pray.

Your kindess, Christian Love and forgivness never ceases to amaze, Mrs. Etheldreda! Atheists everywhere will soon realize they are sinning greatly and will accept Jesus into their hearts.
PRAISE!!!

Mrs. Ethelreda,

Thank you for your lovely prayer. I found a girl at church who was proudly a God mocker. I found some stones, and until she said your prayer and my father deemed that she really meant it, we threw stones at her. Glory!

Yours in Christ,
Elizabeth

It's worth saying again that you God mockers who have denied the Holy Ghost will still burn in Hell even if you join the church. Unless you were rightfully ashamed of your atheist faith and somehow manged to never blaspheme. But those who are 100% Hell bound still have a reason to convert and leave your money to the church.

Mark 3:28-29

28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

Be true to your atheist rebellious spirit, the one that makes you want to "stick it to the man." (Not in the homo way). Satan is going to be "the man" in your after life, anally raping you into eternity. The more thou sin in this life the more you work for the man. But, if you become a True Christian and start saving souls and supporting the church you may start something that screws the man until the end times (a year or so from now.) As Satan turns your but hole into the Lincoln express way, a church program that your money helped start could be turning a gay into an Ex-Gay, or a negro into an Ex-Negro. You'll be screwing the man while he's screwing you. That should give you some satisfaction.
