Re: POLL: The Worst False Religion?

You left out Marxist Atheists which is certainly the religion with the most hatred of Christ and my own least favorite since it's the religion that did the most to try to kill me, my friends, and family and support everyone else trying to kill us during the 20 years I served in the U.S. Army. "All things are lawful for me but all things are not beneficial for me, " as Saint Paul said. I don't see the benefit in hating anybody unless like Che Guevara you're in need of a rationalization for killing people which is an irrational waste of human resources unless it's necessary to stop them from killing somebody else. The people you kill today you might need tomorrow which is one of the ways the Almighty enjoys allowing the wicked to fall into their own snares the most obvious example of being the social security problems that come from letting abortionists kill off future social security taxpayers. I find it a bit hard to believe the Almighty hates us Catholics since we currently make up the largest church within the world's largest religion outnumbering Baptists let's note although Muslims finally coming to outnumber Catholics this century is a warning sign for us all. "Whom the Lord loves, He chastises."

Muslims, Catlicks, Masons, Wiccans, etc.

God doesn't really care which false religion you worship, it is all worshipping satan.

What do you think of this "heavenly father" guy from mexico who is the new pope?

Do you think distributing free condoms and cell phones is a truly Christian thing to do?

I think Wicca is up there on the list of the worst False Religions. I mean, come on, what person in their right mind lights candles and prays to trees?? I've heard before that Wiccans perform some of their 'rituals' naked AND outdoors. Why?? It's clearly stated in the bible that we are to worship ONLY GOD and NOT his creations (i.e. trees and plants)

Re: POLL: The Worst False Religion?

But didn't the romans technically kill Jesus? I am not sure about this, correct me if I'm wrong

It was much the same in jewry. Well, worse. Much worse. Having rejected God and been crushed by The Romans as a direct result, these wretches were prohibited from executing any of their imagined subjects who did follow God, an activity they longed to engage in. When God Himself turned up, as promised and as described in the future history of their own Scriptures, there was no holding them back. Just like that maniac in the train.

So they used the expedient of Roman law, again just like our maniac used the adze.

"According to our (in fact defunct) law this Jesus has commited a capital crime" they lied. "Permit us to have Him nailed up and poked."

Roman legality was the tool they used. It had many uses, roads, education, sanitation and so on. But in the hands of a maniac—or group of maniacs accompanied by a screaming mob in this case—it could be pressed into service other than as intended. The Bible records:

LUKE 23
1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.
2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.
3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.
4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.
5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:
15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.
16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:
19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
KJV

Re: POLL: The Worst False Religion?

I grew up a christian, going to christian schools and spending hours studying the bible. I know a thing or two about the bible and, please correct me if I am mistaken, but I believe the bible teaches that you should have love and compassion for everyone, and I am certain judging and discriminating against others is not love.

You are mistaken on both counts.

The Holy Bible does not teach love and compassion for everyone. The Holy Bible teaches how to have a relationship with the Lord, Jesus Christ. To this end, we are commanded to try and convert everyone, but nothing is said about loving everyone (Matthew 28:19-20). Perhaps you're misunderstanding the passage that explains we are to love our neighbors as ourselves. Please be aware that in loving ourselves, we are called to die to our selves and take up our own cross (Luke 9:23), not encourage these sins because they make us happy. In what way can we love others by enabling their sinful lifestyle, knowing it will only catapult them into the very fiery pits of Hell?

Let me share with you a personal example. I am a mother of many wonderful children. I've taken great pains to ensure each and every child fears the LORD, for in fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). If you don't have one (fear), you cannot have the other (wisdom). As the mother of children, I know that they cannot be counted on to know the right thing to do without proper instruction. Sometimes, this instruction upsets them. I don't let them play in traffic, for example, even if it makes them cry to watch their favorite toy get smashed to bits under the weight of many cars because they were too lazy to put it away when reminded the first time. I guarantee, they all learn that lesson quickly!

The problem is, if they don't learn to be obedient to their father, who demands toys are never ever ever left out in plain sight, they will not learn to be obedient to their Heavenly Father, who demands unconditional affection and loyalty. Which is worse do you think, watching a favorite toy given to you by your auntie before she died, or watching your flesh burn off your bones (but never all the way, because it has to be paced to last eternity)? Which is the more loving thing for a mother to do?

Do you see why we don't enable people to sin? It's the same thing. You might call it "tough love," but we just call it the Love of the LORD.



The other mistake you've made is in thinking judging is not love. This is patently untrue. True Christians™ are commanded to judge righteously (Proverbs 31:9), and to speak up for the poor and needy. Jesus no longer speaks for Himself, having floated up through the clouds and off into Heaven, where even the Hubble Telescope will never find Him (Acts 1:9-11). That means He is the needy one who must be spoken up for. He must be protected from the offense of the wicked. His honor must be avenged whenever questioned, and that requires judgement. Lots of it. It ale so reflects love, as the Holy Bible tells us (Deuteronomy 8:5; Proverbs 3:11-12; Hebrews 12:6-7)

I believe christianity is a beautiful religion,

Aw, me too! Although I'm surprised to hear you say this. The religion teaches that you will be forever tortured for your sins unless you repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and Master. But for a True Christian™ like Pastor Levi, it is a beautiful religion indeed!

but it has been polluted by people like you who obsess over it and believe that other people may not have their own view.

Again you are mistaken dear. It has been watered down by people like your parents and former school, who encourage children to skip over the less patronizing parts and make-believe God loves them anyway. We're simply sticking to the Word of God. If you think that's "polluted," take it up with Him. Don't shoot the messenger, as they say!

Re: POLL: The Worst False Religion?

Apparently, you're not a very good study of The Word.

and, please correct me if I am mistaken, but I believe the bible teaches that you should have love and compassion for everyone,

No, The Bible says we should have love for our neighbors. Not everyone is our neighbor. And especially not everyone is our "brother and sister" Please see this sermon on this very subject.

I am certain judging and discriminating against others is not love.

Would you say Jesus was always loving? Did Jesus never judge? If so, you have never once read the Bible for yourself. You had it spoonfed to you by professional liars. You'll find no lies here, girl. Just the unvarnished truth of God's Word and majesty.

Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

In fact, Jesus had many strong words to say for people who don't believe the right way.

"DOGS" Matt. 7:6 Jesus said, "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs" (see also 2 Peter 2:20-22, Rev. 22:15)
"SWINE" Matt. 7:6 "...neither cast your pearls before swine"
"VIPERS" Matt. 3:7 "O generation of vipers..." (see also Matt. 12:34, 23:33 and Luke 3:7)
"HYPOCRITES" Matt.6:2 "...as the hypocrites in the synagogues..." (see also Matt.6:5, 16, 15:7, 16:3, 22:18, 23:13-15, 29, 24:51, Mark 7:6, Luke 11:44, 12:56)
"CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL" John 8:44 "You are of your father the devil..." (see also Acts 13:10)
"PERVERSE" Mat. 17:17"...O faithless and perverse generation" (see also Luke 9:41, Acts 20:30, Phil. 2:15, 1Tim. 6:5)
"REPROBATE" 2Cor 13:5-7 "...except ye be reprobates" (see also Rom 1:28, 2Tim. 3:8, Tit. 1:16)
"HEATHEN" Mat. 6:7 "...as the heathen do" (see also Mat.18:17, Act 4:25, 2Cor. 11:26, Gal. 1:16, 2:9, 3:8)
"FOOLS" Mat. 23:17 "...Ye fools and blind" (see also Luke 12:20, 1Cor.15:36, Mat.23:19, Luke 11:40, 24:25, Eph. 5:15)
"WICKED AND ADULTEROUS" Mat. 16:4 "A wicked and adulterous generation" (see also Mat. 12:45, 13:49, 18:32, 21:41, 25:26, Luke 19:22, 1Cor. 5:13, 2Thes. 3:2, 2Pet. 2:7, 3:17)
"O YE OF LITTLE FAITH" (Christ's favorite name for His apostles!) Mat.6:30, 8:26, 14:31, etc., etc., etc.
"STIFFNECKED AND UNCIRCUMCISED" Acts7:53 "...stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart"
"LIARS, EVIL BEASTS, SLOW BELLIES" Titus 1:12 (see also 2Peter 2:12, Jude 10)
"ADULTERERS AND ADULTERESSES" Hebrews 13:4 "...whoremongers and adulterers God will judge" James 4:4 "Ye adulterers and adulteresses..." (see also Rom 7:3, Mat. 12:39, 16:4, Mark 8:38)
"WHITED WALL" Acts 23:3 Paul to the high priest .

I believe christianity is a beautiful religion, but it has been polluted by people like you who obsess over it and believe that other people may not have their own view.

2 John 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

It's not that we believe you can't have a different view. It is God who says you can't.

Re: POLL: The Worst False Religion?

One thing you always see with false religions is the underhand strategy of isolation. Rather than allow God's design to operate as He intended, these sociopaths deprive their flock of normal interactions. The part of a person that would normally form social relationships is denied its correct function by a system of lies and deception reinforced by magical threats from ogres and goblins who lurk, it is announced, waiting to pounce and suck one dry forever.

As a result the deludees are too frightened to ever form a normal social relationship and in many cases any social ralationship at all. Shopkeepers are enemies to be avoided unless absolutely essential. Theatres are pits of iniquity. Restaurants a gross extravagence. Popular meeting places such as bars or pubs or civic squares are anathema, and friendship is absent altogether.

But we are not designed as islands. Having deprived the obsessional cultist of all normal relationship possibilities using blatant brainwashing and lies - what must happen to the part of them desingned BY GOD for just that form of interaction? It would obviously be the major component of any cohesive society since most of one's time is spent interacting either at work, or shopping with friends, or dining out, or visiting theatres or enjoying a glass of absinthe. ALL OF THAT IS DENIED.

With the majority of one's social being disengaged and only the tiniest fragment permitted any reason-to-be by these criminally insane psychopaths, a yearning of incomprehensible proportions MUST result. It is tragic. Like one of those complicated clockwork toys with lots of springs wound up but only the least of its potential ever realised. Until at their sentimentalist orgies these impoverished robots have all their springs released and everything goes off haywire in a great big psychotic episode where yelling or screaming or falling down or however their anguished cry may be expressed (but only for a moment or two, and it varies from cult to cult).

A false ecstacy.

Christians recognise this momentary release as deriving from the burden of sin, ever growing, indeed it is greater after each cultic gathering as the vile conditioning is reinforced further despite the psychotic episode and the delusional ecstacy. We know this because the teachings of godless fools does not accord with Scripture but even if we did not know that there is the evidence of outcomes.

For the individual there is massive isolatioon (but they don't know they're isolated), total friendlessness (but they don't know they haven't got any friends because they don't know what a friend is), suspicion and mistrust of all around (the mechanism for engaging is perverted to make the false clergy rich, obscenely rich). And this is why we stand up for Christ.

He really is the answer to all these curses and we long to see the prisoners of those false religions set free. Their worlds are depraved and corrupted, their followers deprived and ruined. Here is a lovely hymn, perhaps The Pastors could include it the tomorrow's service? I can hardly wait to be there, Hallelujah!
