Hello from Russia!

[Russian_Guest]

I write you from Russia, I guess God hates it a lot. I study in Moscow State University (sorry for my bad English, my first foreign language is French (God hates 'em)). I am an atheist myself but i wanted to ask you why is Baptist church so different from Catholic or Orthodox Cristian Churches? Does your church accept others religions (some of them are older than yours)? And do you really deny Evolution theory?(Its really hard for me to beleive in)

If someone would be kind enough to answer some this questions and those to follow, I'd be really grateful.


P.S. I found some of the smiles on the site quite..strange. Are such smiles as "dying terrorist" and "Ku-klux-Klan chasing black person" really necessary on the christian forum?

Re: Hello from Russia!

We follow the entire King James Version of the Bible from 1611 (KJV1611). Every letter of it. Catholics only use the fluffy parts of the Bible. Orthodox Christians pretend to be like us, but they are not.

Does your church accept others religions (some of them are older than yours)?

No.

And do you really deny Evolution theory?(Its really hard for me to beleive in)

Yes. We know God created everything.

If someone would be kind enough to answer some this questions

No problem.

and those to follow

Less sure of that.

Yes.

Hi Russian Guest, welcome to God's favorite forum! I will try to answer your questions.

Baptist church so different from Catholic or Orthodox Cristian Churches?

Catholics and Orthodox "Christians" do not follow the entire Bible, just the parts they like. That leads to very skewed moral codes: Catholics say that homosexuality is wrong, but pedophilia is not. We say: both are wrong.

Does your church accept others religions

No.

And do you really deny Evolution theory?(Its really hard for me to beleive in)

Yes. Evilution theory is a false belief system.

really necessary on the christian forum?

Ask muslims if it's really necessary to do terrorist attacks, then ask us if it's necessary to criticize them for it.

Re: Hello from Russia!

Can you tell me, how old our Universe\Earth is? Because i've heard something about that it's 6 thousand year old, but I'm not really sure if it was Baptist speaking.

And all the time before Christianity appeared people worshiped false god? Or they just had false interpretation of the one true God?

Also, how come Orthodox christians pretend to be like Baptist, if Baptist church is younger than classical Byzantix Orthodox church?

I am really ashamed of my ignorance and I am sorry if (huh, IF) my questions are stupid.

About 6000 years.

Most did. But some did worship God. About 2000 years ago Jesus died for us (a few days) and that changes things a bit since in part he died for sins we committed in the first 4000 years.

Also, how come Orthodox christians pretend to be like Baptist, if Baptist church is younger than classical Byzantix Orthodox church?

Our religion is as old as Earth, about 6000 years. All other religions are false and all it's believers will go to hell.

I am really ashamed of my ignorance and I am sorry if (huh, IF) my questions are stupid.

And so you should be. Don't they have Bibles in Russia?

6000 years, give or take a little.

You answered your own question, so I'll leave it at that.

Really?? There is much proof of life and forward thinking cultures in Mesopotamia (the first tourist destination and well thought-out city. Coupled with the first records of early Sumerian language) 7000 years ago? Why are there fossils from millions of years ago?

Re: Hello from Russia!

Wow, that was a surprise. I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition.

Can you at least make your questions in list format? You will find that feature in the advanced edit dialog box.

There is some debate about this. Some believe God did this on purpose to make it harder to prove His existence forcing is to really believe in Him based on faith. Others think it is just a practical joke from some fellows with some clay and too much time on their hand.

Too much trouble to do a little searching, huh?

Does the KJV1611 condone the use of marijuana? I don't remember reading any such thing throughout the text, but you are a really paranoid group here

The search feature wasn't working for you? What does that have to do with Russia?

We are? What are we paranoid about if I may ask?
