Re: You know what

I don't have a Lutheran Church forum. I'm sure they're out there, but I don't frequent any. But you see, I do have faith in my fellow Christians, I believe that they do the right thing when the wrong thing is so much easier.

Re: You know what

Where is your Lutheran church forum?

Re: You know what

hey, it's ok because I know that most of you still practice in good faith, faith in your fellow man, which apparently some of you have already lost that faith.

Friend, I have no faith in my fellow man whatsoever. I trust only in Christ. I'm not some filthy secular humanist.

Re: You know what

We don't "interpret" the Bible at all. We just read it and obey it.
Pastor Billy-Reuben

Obeying by the Bible in every way is a great way to practice our lives.

That simply is not Biblical. Good works alone are not enough to get saved. Our righteousness is as filthy rags. We cannot be saved without Jesus.
Pastor Billy-Reuben

I completely agree, we can't be saved through good works alone, but they certainly help others who may not be Christian see how a Christian acts, through faith and good works.

Friend, if I truly wished that someone would be damned, I would just keep my mouth shut and "tolerate" their sinful lifestyle. Isn't the fact that I work so hard to share the Good News of our LORD Jesus Christ proof that I want all to be Saved?
Pastor Billy-Reuben

I completely agree with you there Pastor Reuben. Pointing out the flaws, rubbing our good faith in the faces of those who are in the darkness is no way to further Christianity.

Before I get banned for my rantings, as it appears I will be in the future from "biblethumpinblonde," I feel you guys should know something about myself.

I'm an 18 year old college student attending Purdue University for a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice, Law enforcement. I plan on being a State Trooper to help my community and anyone else who needs it. I don't really know why I want to be a police officer, just that I do know that I want to pursue that goal in my life. I'm a Lutheran, who follows the teachings of Christ along with all of my brothers, regardless of which sect of Christianity that they belong to. I love you guys (and gals), but some of you are a bit off when you condemn others or other races or practices without trying to save them. (see Jews, Muslims, Hinduism, Scientology (lol scientology) I've seen quite a bit of anger on these forums (some of it directed at me but hey, it's ok because I know that most of you still practice in good faith, faith in your fellow man, which apparently some of you have already lost that faith.

Re: You know what

I completely agree with you JennyD on most counts. I do not, however, believe that some of those represented in that list are represented fairly. Take the Amish for example; from what I've seen, they're a kind and honest people, who chose to live their lives without the benefits of electricity and such, seeking the puritan life style. They still worship God, attend Church, no work on sundays and such? why are they even listed? Plus the Puritans, although strict, are Christians none-the-less. I feel that that list is greatly in accurate and in need of reformation.

Re: You know what

Also, please correct, if you have the administrative ability to, the sticky on other relgions and cults. So many of those are wrong in how the followers of those religions practice. and what's with every one ending with "and satan" in their description? that's ignorant.

Mister or Miss Sion -

I've reviewed the thread on false religions and cults. I fail to see the error you mention.

All cults which are not Christianity attempt to draw the wool over people's eyes, indoctrinating people with a number of bizarre myths explaining where the world came from, and explaining how their various deities will reward or punish people after they die. They brainwash their children with odd songs and stories from the time they are infants, and draw them in with twisted rituals, so they have a sense of "belonging" and "growing in ______" (fill-in-the-false-god).

These cults serve as sources of income for their "priests" and "priestesses", and also social control for the people who follow them. Naturally, politicians find it useful to exploit this social control; in most of these non-Christian nations, the politicians simply give lip-service to their dominant cult!

Now, who would come up with such a sickening scheme of wealth and power concentration and social control? Satan, of course! THAT, my dear Sion, is why we add "and Satan" to every single false religion and cult!

Only Christianity is the pure religion of God; donations go to spread the Word of the Lord throughout the world, and never to line a Landover pastor's pocket! The candidates WE support, like Mike Huckabee, want to bring God's Law to the US Constitution and ensure that all Americans truly follow those Laws! (See the link in my signature to find out more!)

I hope this helps you understand the difference between pure and honest Christianity, the religion of God, and false cults and superstitious nonsense created by Satan.

Re: You know what

Dear Friend,

We will examine these and take appropriate action. Some of the posts you're objecting to are by non-member guests.

As to my post cited, I'm not sure what it is you object to. Guns are sometimes used for self defense. I understand that reasonable people can differ about gun control, and I'd expect that as our guest you'd afford us some leeway to have a full and frank debate. I do try my best to elevate the tone of discussions on these boards, even if I may fall short from time to time. Some recent (I hope) educational posts you may enjoy:

With the link that showed your post in relation to gun control.. I quote:

Those 21 thousand had it coming

So the person who was gunned down had it coming? Or the person who had their home invaded, attemted to flee, just had it coming when they were shot and killed by the invader?

American citizens should be able to shoot illegals on sight.

That's hardly Christian like behavior, attempted to alleviate the situation or not.

Ps. thanks for some of those other links, at least this board isn't completely full of zealots.

Re: You know what

Dear Friend,

We will examine these and take appropriate action. We have a formal process for this. Some of the posts you're objecting to are by non-member guests, and there's only so much we can do about their views. If we turned them away as soon as they said something wrong, we'd miss out on many chances to win souls.

Re: You know what

Alright, Born Again Bob Mod, I'll provide some links showing those of these boards who wish this. The acronym OP is Original Poster, fyi.

1. http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?t=8017
OP believe all Asians are queers and therfor will go to hell, with no chance of salvation.

2. http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?t=114
OP is either joking, or amazingly stupid to think Puritans worship corn, Mormos worship grape soda, and every religion worships Satan.

3. http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?t=7957
Poster: "lordwarrior," posted: here is also a large nigra population close by, I'm sure that will play a part before it is over as well.

That is amazingly racist. Are we not all children of God and should be loved accordingly?

4. http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?t=7878
Poster: "bored again bob," *cough* wishing ill on his fellows explicitly. That's not very christian behavior to me, we should never look down upon our fellows, but help them in any way that we can.

5. http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?t=5935
OP: "Brother Guy," is amazingly racist with every post. We should never look down upon our fellows, but help them in any way that we can.



Yeah, all that took about 5 minutes to find, I can't imagine the copious amounts I would find if I put actually took some time to search through these boards.

Re: You know what

My post was more directed toward those of these boards who view other ethnicities and religions with spite and wish those people eternal hellfire.

Dear Friend,

That's terrible. Please report such persons at once, with specific citation to the objectionable post or posts.

I apologize then Pastor Reuben, it appears to me that you aren't the person I thought you were at first glance. My post was more directed toward those of these boards who view other ethnicities and religions with spite and wish those people eternal hellfire.

Re: You know what

Friend, I sense that you are hostile, but I don't understand where all of this is coming from.

I'm appalled by some of you who interpret the bible the way that you do.

We don't "interpret" the Bible at all. We just read it and obey it.

I'm a Christian first and foremost, I do what I can to help others in whatever way that I can. I help ANYONE who needs it. I love the Muslims, the infidels, the people who burn christians, I love them with everything I freaking have. The people who persecute us for following Christ, I love them. Those who follow Budishm, I love them. Those that follow any religion at all, I love them.

Amen, brother. I love them all too. That's why I work so hard to spread the Gospel Message, so that they can become saved.

I believe that we will all be judged in the end on how we lived our lives, whether or not we were exposed to christianity.

That simply is not Biblical. Good works alone are not enough to get saved. Our righteousness is as filthy rags. We cannot be saved without Jesus.

I'm appalled by those who call themselves pastors or christians and yet hate any person that doesn't explicitly follow the bible down the last passage. I choose to help anyone who needs it, to do my best to guide anyone that's in the darkness to the light. To spread Christianity and bring those into God's loving light.

What are you talking about, friend? None of us hates anyone.

As followers of Christ our Lord, we should do our best to bring those in the darkness into the Light, not persecute and wish damnation upon them for their beliefs? I dont' understand how someone who calls themselves a Christian, can wish so much hatred upon their brethren.

Friend, if I truly wished that someone would be damned, I would just keep my mouth shut and "tolerate" their sinful lifestyle. Isn't the fact that I work so hard to share the Good News of our LORD Jesus Christ proof that I want all to be Saved?
