Re: Is Landover Baptist Church a CULT?

Theoretically, any religion can be viewed as a cult.

Other than True Christianity(tm) of course.

What???

You are a liar, and I suspect a Godless Athiest...

The word "cult" pejoratively refers to a group whose beliefs or practices are considered strange.

What is "strange" about True Christianity?

Scripture, please, to back up your insane claims.

Go...

Re: Is Landover Baptist Church a CULT?

The reason that Christianity is not a cult is because it is the One True Religion. Do you dispute that?

There's nothing particular about us. We merely follow the Bible.

2.

If the veneration of Jesus is wrong, I don't want to be right.

3.
the object of such devotion.
4.
a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc.
5.

No sacred rites . Just a KJV Bible and a hard wooden pew.

6.
a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader.

Nope, we just follow the Bible. There is no single charismatic leader among us. If any one of our Pastors were to leave, the Body of Christ would remain in tact.

Re: Is Landover Baptist Church a CULT?

Has it ever occurred to you, that you are not allowing for he growth of your religion. Where you have churches that accepts wiccans, goths, homosexuals, and all that other BS. They are accepting in hopes of converting. Where as your...whats the word im looking for....oh, right. Cult. is unaccepting of any views that deviate from your object of worship, which in this case is jesus and GOD.

You have turned them into physical objects and are trying to to control the idea of them. Saying who will and won't be damned, who will and will not be saved.

You will all burn in the fires, I can guarentee it.

What makes you think that God wants us to accept people who spit in his face? Wiccans exclude us from their little naked dances (thank GOD) does that make them a cult?

You have turned them into physical objects and are trying to to control the idea of them. Saying who will and won't be damned, who will and will not be saved.

So if you get in a car drunk and you're friend tries to stop you by saying that you're going to get arrested or in an accident. You blame your friend when you kill that family of 6 and are arrested for vehicular manslaughter? After all he's the one who "condemned" you to the accident and arrest.

We don't and can't condemn anyone. God makes it very clear who is condemned, all we do is warn people.

Oh, and how do I turn someone into a physical object? That sounds like something some witch would claim they could do.

You will all burn in the fires, I can guarentee it.

You're really desperate to believe this aren't you. Please use scripture to back it up.

Oh and after you actually bother to tear the shrinkwrap off of your Bible, please be kind enough to look up all of the scriptures in Pastor Flints signature and tell us why the homers and witches are getting into heaven and we're not.

Gonna be honest with you, sounds A LOT like what you guys are doing here.

Don't you think it's a bit hypocritical to tell us we are going to hell when you admit you don't read the Bible?

Typical false Christian behavior.

Don't worry. You are only the one millionth person to come here with a half baked idea of Christianity entails and a handful of scriptures you happen to know trying to tell us we are damned to hell.

[DarthBosko]

Re: Is Landover Baptist Church a CULT?

This is really, really sad. I've been looking through your forums after stumbling upon an article about Minecraft (which a member of this site said was a Satanic game).

Jesus calls us to love other people! We're supposed to be taking the evil and the sinful into the church. Not to tolerate what they do, but to help them. We have the answer, and it is Jesus Christ. How do you expect people to get that message if we're not reaching out to them? "For God so loved the world, He sent his only Begotten Son." God loves everyone, why aren't we sharing that love with them?

I'm not going to call you a cult, but I will say a lot of you sound hypocritical. You can't be following the whole Bible and yet spreading hate about people. http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?t=44677

Like honestly? God hates India? He may be disappointed that they aren't all following Him, but if you were to take your head out of the sand, you'd know that there is a revival happening there. A lot of people are converting to Christianity.

So I don't want to make you angry, I just want to maybe make you think twice about how you act. We're not better than the world, we sin too. Only difference is that we know Jesus is Lord, and we need to share that with everyone.

God Bless!

Re: Is Landover Baptist Church a CULT?

You have turned them into physical objects and are trying to to control the idea of them. Saying who will and won't be damned, who will and will not be saved.

And the very next sentence:

You will all burn in the fires, I can guarentee it.

Ohhh the irony. Dear, just because you have a god complex does not make you God. There is only one God and he has laid out his guidelines in the Bible. We understand that the Bible is offensive to you, and we understand that people like us who choose to follow the whole Bible are also offensive to you. But please understand that you are offensive to God, and He is the only authority that matters.

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me." Exodus 20:3

That includes misguided humans who deviate from the KJV1611 and still think they know what's best for mankind. Hah!

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Re: Is Landover Baptist Church a CULT?

Jesus calls us to love other people!

Please post the Scripture that backs up your claim. And I hope you aren't talking about Matthew 7: 1-5, because that has already been addressed HERE.
