    You guys...

    Ya know, my little brother goes to a Baptist church up the road and they are wonderful people. They treat him like family, and they even bought his school supplies for him, but you guys make them look SO bad.

    "Since when did you abandon reason for madness?"

    Even some of the adults on here just attack these priests and people who don't think like them like arrogant children or wild animals. How can you live with yourselves knowing that you conduct yourselves like this?

    I understand that you want to exploit religions that you think are not "worthy" or "false." I love Jesus! Jesus gave up his life so that we wouldn't have to fear death. He was a great teacher, mentor, and overall, a great example of how a person should be! We should all strive to see that our lives are an HONOR to him, but you guys are making no such effort. You talk about deadly sins that all these churches commit, but your site reeks of Vengeance and Pride. "Where the worthwhile worship?" Yes, you have way too much Pride, and that's the deadliest of all sins.

    "Pastor" Ezekiel: You are too young to have such close-minded ideals. As a practicing theologian (you're not quite there yet, from what I've read) you should know that the Bible contradicts even ITSELF. It's a wonderful Book, but you know I am right... in a certain place does it not say "An eye for an eye" and then in another it says "turn the other cheek" and that vengeance belongs only to God? You also probably haven't had life pick you up and slap you in the face like it does EVERYONE eventually. Yes you may be a Pastor, and are a Senior member of what you call GOD'S TRUE CHURCH (which is VERY Prideful) but you are also human. "He who holds himself on a pedestal shall surely be taken down." On another note: you can't hand out PS3's to people who join the church! You gotta get them to come on their own steam! They have to want TO, or else you have nothing but fakes and Gamers in your midst, not real people of God. You rob yourself of TRUE patrons. Donate the money you spend of game systems to a children's hospital, or a cancer research foundation.

    The Bible is also wonderful, because it has teachings and passages in it that, even though it was written so long ago, they still apply to today. Landover Baptist Church is not exempt from this. So what if these churches and doctrines are not "right?" It's not your place to pass judgement of anyone. Don't you think that God will root them out Himself? Don't do His job for Him, or else you might find yourself in the hot seat. This site is contradictory of everything that you SAY you stand for. If you all put so much credit into the Bible (which would be GREAT) you would know that whatever you judge with on earth, you shall be judged with in Heaven, and all the other stuff I said about Jesus, but this site is contradictory to everything. You are not focusing on the big picture AT ALL. You are too busy making sure that everyone knows that YOU alone are right, YOU alone are in God's favor. Which is wrong. (Not as in "incorrect," but just WRONG. And sinful. And Prideful. And hypocritical. And you know it.) Why don't you just go ahead and change your name John Lennon Baptist Church, because you guys are proving to be as big of hypocrites as he was.

    Let go and let God. You waste webspace and precious time you could be spending making your life a testament to The Great I AM being hateful and immature towards people. We are all human, and we're just trying to make the best of what we have. Life is much more fulfilling when we just LOVE ONE ANOTHER, like Jesus said to, and just LIVE and LET LIVE. And when you say that God damns people for petty things, you are suggesting that he, too, has no sense. He created the Heavens and Earth! He is all-powerful and always present, so I'm pretty sure he knows his people better than you THINK you know them.

    There are so many different religions in Christianity today, but really and truly, it's just better, easier, and more pleasing to God when you let HIM to HIS job, and know that all rivers lead to the sea, and the sea refuses none of them.

    Love,

    Every word of the Bible still applies today.

    It's not your place to pass judgement of anyone.
    Perhaps you should read the Bible.

    Leviticus 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

    John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

    1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
    2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

    1 Corinthians 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
    5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

    See above. Asked and answered.

    just LIVE and LET LIVE.
    Chapter and verse please.

    And when you say that God damns people for petty things, you are suggesting that he, too, has no sense.
    Chapter and verse please. The path is narrow, and God lists all sorts of things in His Holy Word that can knock you off it.

    He created the Heavens and Earth! He is all-powerful and always present, so I'm pretty sure he knows his people better than you THINK you know them.
    You're not completely lost.

    There are so many different religions in Christianity today
    And what, they're all right? There is such a thing as right and wrong. It is black and white. Either you're right, or you're wrong. We're right as we believe in every word of the Bible.

    but really and truly, it's just better, easier, and more pleasing to God when you let HIM to HIS job
    Chapter and verse please.

      Yes, it does, and I love it! I couldn't agree more!

      Perhaps you should read the Bible.

      Leviticus 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

      2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.


      1 Corinthians 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
      5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
      Perhaps it is you who should read the Bible, and read it more thoroughly. Along with a dictionary.

      I mentioned the Matthew passage earlier (Judge not, that ye be not judged.) You are correct, in a way, that it IS your place to judge. Indeed it is TRUE that Jesus doesn't tell us NOT to judge, but rather instructs us on HOW to judge. And Matthew, Leviticus, and John all say to judge how? "Righteously." And you do not. Righteously as defined by Webster, means "Good, honest, fair, right. Absolutely genuine or wonderful." All those are the exact opposite of your version of "judgment." Before my father died, my aunt bought him a beautiful KJV, leather-bound Bible, and it had little notes and things in it, further explaining what passages in the Bible mean (I love it so, but it can be tricky sometimes!) And it stated that RIGHTEOUS judgment knows that even up to the last MINUTE before passing on, a person can always repent because ONLY God knows the heart of man, for only He can truly say whether they burn or have eternal life. And as for the Corinthians passages: Yes we have the mind of Christ, but not the power or the glory of Christ, and since you all claim to be so RIGHT, and hold yourself on such a level that you think you can determine a person's direction in the after life would do well to remember THIS passage:

      Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

      My live and let live statement? Ask and you shall receive!:

      Proverbs 15:27 -- "A greedy and grasping person destroys community; those who refuse to exploit, live and let live."

      And God damning people for petty things. It goes back to what I said earlier. God and God ALONE knows what's in our hearts, and we will both receive His grace according the good we have done (See the Corinthian passage below.)

      About other Christian religions (what you guys deem FALSE)
      And what, they're all right? There is such a thing as right and wrong. It is black and white. Either you're right, or you're wrong.
      Again, maybe it is you who should read the Bible.

      You should check out 1 Corinthians 3:1-9. it basically says this: You believe differently, I believe differently. Or more closely to the scripture: Whereas you plant, I water, but it is GOD who makes the rosebush grow. We are both working together towards the same goal (Eternal life, Salvation, etc.) and so we shall be rewarded for our work.

      We're right as we believe in every word of the Bible.
      Believing is the first step, but APPLYING the word of God to your everyday life is what matters. And Landover doesn't, quite frankly. This website screams hypocrisy and so many contradictory things that it should be a crime.

      So last but not least, as for my statement that it is better, easier, and more pleasing to God if you just let Him BE God and dole out damnation and admiration HIMSELF, I give you this passage:

      Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

      God Bless,
      Cheyloe

        Not at all. We base all our judgements on the Word of God, therefore they are always good, honest, fair, and right.
        ONLY God knows the heart of man, for only He can truly say whether they burn or have eternal life.
        True, but we only tell people where they're headed for if they don't repent.
