Re: A new start

Where do they speak about japanese tourists?

The point is that the unsaved are not welcome. The Heathen Japanee are pretty much unsaved by definition. Most of them don't even know who Jesus is.
2nd John 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
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.

We are not to receive non-Christians into our house. Being nice and polite to unChristian evildoers makes you as bad as they are. What is so hard to understand about that?

Re: A new start

But let's stop with that. We won't argue about the popularity of our respective cities. That's senseless and we won't prove anything.

You could rather try to answer to my formet posts, about hospitallity.

Re: A new start

You know more about the Bible than about Art, my friend.

Analysis:
-Grandiose I agree
-Hugely out of proportion tower You should see it from further. You can't take a nice pic of the Empire State Building if you're just a few meters far from it
-Tower badly off-center What you call "tower" is the Belfry. It's older than the rest of the building. If you are right in front of it, you'll see that it's right in the middle
-Revisonist 19th century "restoration" covered the building with ill-fitting idols
1402, not 19th century, my friend. And these are not idols but statues of the former Dukes and Duchesses of Brabant. If these are idols, the Statue of Liberty is an idol too.
-It LOOKs like a Catlick church because it was built by Cat Lickers
There is no "catholic" style. "This Gothic building, which stands in the city's Grand Place, is widely regarded as a masterpiece of medieval European secular architecture"
-It is a fancy-schmancy old pile erected by grasping, prideful pseudo-frenchies, Not at all. The architec is Jacob van Thienen. You'll remark that "Van Thienen" is a Dutch and not French name.

As for the popularity of both buildings, when I type "Brussel town hall" there are over 435 with google, while "Kampong of David Fairchild" gives only 1 picture.

sorry! this is how that thing is seen here in God's Country.


I could show you real architecture exists right here in my backyard in Miami Florida,
if you can just open your mind to balance and beauty:

How about the nearby Kampong of David Fairchild, American Botanist?
Or how about Villa Viscaya, the winter home of an early 20th century industrial baron?

How about Coral Gables' Biltmore Hotel ?

Did Al Capone or Al Gore ever compliment your town's motel?
L00K at the good taste of American architecture, just in this one remarkable edifice:

These local buildings, all within a mile or so of my shanty,
are world-class buildings -in much better taste- than your village's
overwrought hymn of vacated glory.

Where do they speak about japanese tourists?

I do my best to think proofs in your own Bible, and your answer is that I would be influenced by satan? You are not very honnest towards me.

Matthew, Chapter 25

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.


41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Re: A new start

If you act in the true image of Jesus, you should respect what he said.

I tell you that you should show hospitallity to the strangers, since you don't. And if I don't make quotes from the Bible, I'm affraid you would not give much credit to my posts.

Hebrews, Chapter 13

2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

(I really like finding quotes in the Bible! It's fun! Thx you!)

Re: A new start

However, all the japaneses are not gay rapists nor Michael Jackson nor illegal aliens (if they are tourists).

Michael Jackson was never a Japanese tourist, to my knowledge.

Deuteromy, Chapter 24

17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:
18 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
19 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
20 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
22 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.

What you've quoted here says nothing about welcoming poor and unsaved people into one's church. It says that you should leave your excess for poor people to come get after you leave.

Where does it say to associate with such people? IT DOESN'T.

By the way, who was it who caused the Jews to become slaves in Egypt in the first place? Ah yes, GOD.

Who We Are and What We (And God) Believe Our Bible Based Policy Against The Unsaved Click Here for Even More Details on This Policy
As most churches liberalize themselves and reject the commandments written by God in the Holy Bible, the Landover Baptist Church continues to do exactly what scripture teaches every Christian to do. And that is to keep the temple of the living God a clean vessel, untarnished by even a hint of fellowship with the unrighteous.

"Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds" (2 John 1:9-11). "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you." (2 Corinthians 6:14-17).

We pray that God sends his Holy Spirit upon this Christian Nation and opens up the hearts of other Bible believing Christians so that they will adopt the same Bible-based policy that has kept our church strong for nearly 217 Godly years.

Re: A new start

It's not a city hall.
That thing a former Catlick church converted into a motel/bordello.
Very little needed to be done to it.
