You guys have the wrong idea.

Please preach with love in future.

I hope you can re-evaluate you purist views, or if not find me a bible verse where J.C. Was a purist (Jesus Christ)


We live in a broken world and this site isn't currently helping.


I'm not hating but this is the sort of place that give people a negative perception of Christians.

Now that that's sorted a little about me. I'm 25 and I've been a christian since i was 11. I Live in the UK and attend an independent church seeded from a baptist church in my local area.
I live a normal life with an extra helping of caring for others and try to do as God asks me rather than trying to work it out for myself which is where you've gone wrong. I k'now I've a place in heaven and try I understand i'll never deserve it. DO YOU?

...I hope you can re-evaluate you purist views, or if not find me a bible verse where J.C. Was a purist (Jesus Christ)...

Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

Do you measure up to that standard? The True Christians™ do.

Why? Jesus didn't.

How about this one:

James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

And this one:

Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

As you can see, according to Jesus we have to adhere to the Law very strictly. What else can I help you with today?

I don't understand, how sharing the timeless beauty of the Holy Bible giving a negative perception of the people who are supposed to be following it?

I live a normal life with an extra helping of caring for others and try to do as God asks me rather than trying to work it out for myself which is where you've gone wrong.

You seem somewhat judgmental, dear.

I k'now I've a place in heaven and try I understand i'll never deserve it. DO YOU?

Dear, I follow what the Holy Bible says 100%, as ordered by Jesus (see above).

DO YOU?

Good evening, Mr. Bacon. I suspect that calling yourself Crispy Bacon would have been more appropriate, considering that your likely destination is Hell. Also, calling yourself a Christian doesn't make it so. You are either saved, or not. You either have a personal relationship with Jesus, or you don't. You have either read God's Holy Word and keep His ordinances, or not. I think you are a fluffy bunny Christian, Mr. Bacon and I think you will wind up on a spit in Hell with all the other fluffy bunnies.

Re: Hi There

You guys have the wrong idea.

Would you be so kind as to specifically point out which wrong ideas you think that we have? Because we have the idea that the Bible is the only source of information about God and Jesus and how to live in such a way that honors Their (His) Authority.

Please preach with love in future.

When you say "love" do you mean to love God in the specific way that He requires? Or do you mean "love" as in handing out flowers and looking the other way when people flout God's Holy Law?

Joshua 22:5
But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the Lord charged you, to love the Lord your God, and to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commandments, and to cleave unto Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

I hope you can re-evaluate you purist views, or if not find me a bible verse where J.C. Was a purist (Jesus Christ)

What exactly do you mean by "purist"? Do you mean that we should be impure before the Lord?

Psalm 24: 3-5
Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in His holy place?
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

We live in a broken world and this site isn't currently helping.

That depends on how you think it got broken in the first place.

. . . and try to do as God asks me rather than trying to work it out for myself which is where you've gone wrong. . .

If you want to do as God asks you than you will obey the Bible instead of turning up your nose at it. That's where you've gone wrong.


All we have ever done here is present the actual words of the Bible. We encourage people to read those words and take them seriously. Why would you have a problem with that? Do you hate Jesus or the Holy Words of the Lord? Are you trying to encourage people to disobey God?


Isaiah 5:21
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

Foolishly Obediently Yours,

I want nothing more than for people to have a negative perception of me. It means I'm doing the right thing.

Jn 15:18-20
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

I live a normal life with an extra helping of caring for others and try to do as God asks me rather than trying to work it out for myself which is where you've gone wrong.

But we don't try to work things out for ourselves. We do exactly what God commands in the Bible.

Where do you get your Divine instructions from? Do you think you have some kind of special revelation?

I k'now I've a place in heaven and try I understand i'll never deserve it. DO YOU?

Yes, I understand you don't deserve it. But I fear you've been deceived.

Mt 7:21-23
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

So you will be getting what you deserve.

You completely misunderstand, he says that we cannot become truly holy in our own right because we have all broken Gods law at some point and that trying to see your self as pure (like the pharisees) will not help you. The only pure human was the son of man and only through relying on him can you get into heaven.

You need to read Pastor Levi's sermon: True Christians are Perfect! However, if you're just going to ignore the parts of the Bible you don't like there's no hope for you.

2 Tim 4:2-4
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

This a very convoluted interpretation - in other words, you're misreading what is actually written.

Let's look at both passages in their appropriate contexts, shall we?

James 2:1-26 can be summarized as follows: both faith and works are necessary to get to Heaven; therefore, a douchebag who has faith but acts like a douchebag cannot go to Heaven; we have to follow all commandments, not just a few ones in order to go to Heaven. This chapter does not say anywhere that all people have broken the law and all people are doomed to Hell. Therefore, your interpretation is wrong.

Matthew 5:1-48 can be summarized as follows: all Old Testament laws are important, none of them has been abolished, and God requires us to follow all of the Old Testament laws in order to be Saved. Jesus expects True Christians™ to be the shining example (Matt 5:16) of perfection:

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Again, your convoluted interpretation is wrong, as Jesus does not say anything about all people being sinners - and therefore all people being doomed to eternal damnation. To the contrary, He requires us to be Perfect™ - and I don't think He would be so cruel to require us to do something impossible to achieve; do you?
