Reading only the parts of the Bible your pastor tells you to (those that make you feel warm and fuzzy) is nothing but mental and spiritual masturbation. Read the WHOLE Bible to find out what Christianity is REALLY all about! Only then can you talk to us about why we try so hard to save people from Hell.
Jesus hates the poor???? Where in the Bible does it say that?
Obviously someone has never read the parable of The Talents nor M'r:4:25: For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
God gives us the ability to prevent ourselves from being poor - what are we if we discard this gift? Mat:26:11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. Just look at that, who is the more important? The poor or Jesus?
...and he was an hairy man and he fought against God's Will.

“We must reassert that the essence of Christianity is the love of obedience to God’s Laws and that how that complete obedience is used or implemented does not concern us.”
I agree, The Devil is Evil. We do all we can to warn people.

It was a good year for...those guys.
I approved of Patriarch Nikon and the countrywide search he made for what were then modern icons, Having discovered many, the army gouged out the eyes of these heretical counterfeits and then carry them through the towns in derision. However, instead of doing the same to those who possessed them, he merely imposed death on those who made or used such icons in future.
Softness and liberality such as this was his downfall. (I believe his family went on to produce glassware and eventually Japanese Cameras, although I haven’t checked those sources.)

Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule of worshiping satan and selling narcotics to children to drop by God's favorite forum and spew hatred. The Holy Bible says that we are actually Blessed by your persecution. Shout Glory!!
Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Director of European Evangelical Outreach A Shining Example of Christ's Love Quite possibly the only decent, heterosexual human being in the whole of Europe
agreed. I'm afraid these people have let their joy for the Lord sour and become pharisses. I really hope they will see the light of Jesus
You don't trust God? At Landover Baptist, we don't follow some politically correct version of Christianity. We take Jesus at his word when he says death to those that curse their parents. (Matthew 15:4)
