Re: I try to understand?

Sorry, I would afford you the consideration I give to anyone despite your nastiness, because I am a christian. I don't know what you lot are, but I am going to publicise your forum to as many Christians as possible, let us see if you can stand up to the scrutiny of decent people.

Still no scripture?

That was more elaborate, paraphrased nonsense. You do appear to be a more intelligent argumentor here. . . .

Whom did I paraphrase? Certainly not the Bible. I have read paraphrased Bibles and they seem incredibly childish next to the real thing.

Stating that I wrote elaborately phrased nonsense and suggesting that I am an intelligent augmenter confuses me a bit. Am I to feel complimented or insulted? Please clarify. I like to know where I stand, (which is the reason I read the Bible.)

Nevertheless, your assertion that I make everything suit my purposes whilst you take the King James bible as it comes, thus ensuring your unaccountability is really quite bizarre.

I don't think that you mean to use the word "bizarre" in that sentence. I think you mean to say that I am incorrect. I, of course, will respond that you are incorrect. I certainly do not think you are bizarre; you are a fairly standard variety outraged individual who refuses to look at the real truth of the Bible.

Now, I admit to being uncertain regarding your claim that I am "ensuring my unaccountability". For what am I trying to escape accountability? Sending people to hell? I leave that sort of thing to the Big Guy Up There. Misrepresenting the Bible? The Bible does not me to represent it. And most every Christian I have encountered has misrepresented it to suit exactly what they need it to say.

Please don't assume that I am as gullible as Lydia Johnson(UNSAVED TRASH).

Never occurred to me to assume that you have the same "gullibility rating" as Lydia.

I am not used to having all the Christian values I have held dear all my life, trashed in favour of a doctrine supposedly gleaned from the same bible that I have known, that would encourage me to hate and despise my fellow man, to actively judge them on earth and condone their damnation.

No, you're not used to having your Christian values examined that closely. You're not used to comparing your doctrines carefully side by side with the whole, unabridged Bible at all.

Oh, and I don't think it's our place to condone or not condone any one's damnation. That's strictly God's bailiwick.

Sorry, I would afford you the consideration I give to anyone despite your nastiness, because I am a christian.

Hmm. . . I didn't think that I was being nasty. I thought that I was being precise and analytical; can't think why you would take that as nastiness. I have met my share of nasty Christians, though. I have also met my share of kindly ones. I still contend that none of them have faced the Bible and accepted its truth as I have.

I don't know what you lot are, but I am going to publicise your forum to as many Christians as possible, let us see if you can stand up to the scrutiny of decent people.

Please do tell everyone about us! It is our hope that everyone will join us in like mindedness here at LBC. Decent people capable of scrutiny are especially welcome to join our congregation.

Sincerely Yours,

Re: I try to understand?

Yes, Brother Levi, we have here the typical "salad bar Christian". He picks the parts of the Bible he likes and says of the parts he dislikes, "Oh, that was written in a time and context that makes it not apply today."

I'm sure we have, here, a person we would like personally. But, it is a person who refuses to swallow the entire Bible and all that it means.

The fact remains that only we, at Landover Baptist, are the True Christians™.

Christians are supposed to be kind what the HELL!!!! is going on here ?

Re: I try to understand?

I am confused you come to the Landover Baptist Church Forum that its function is to discuss our Christian views and how every word of the Bible is to be lived by, which is our belief. You call members parrots for using quotations from the KJV1611 and when one paraphrases those scriptures you rebuke her. A question or 2 I must ask, why the anger? Are you looking to convert us and to what?

Did your mommy and daddy talk filthy like that?

Re: I try to understand?

you should be converted to some thing that exists and actually does good for the world

Re: I try to understand?

Polite folks usually introduce themselves on their own thread, seeing this is the introduction forum. Tell us a little about yourself in a new thread, all about you. Have you got a favorite Bible verse?

Re: I try to understand?

We are being kind. Would you rather we encourage you do damn yourself to an eternity of being violated by Satan in the Lake of Fire? No! We practice Tough Love here friend and we will NEVER enable sin.

Go to a Catholic if you want someone to tell you it is okay to sin. We TRUE Christians are here to tell you how to get to Heaven.

I'd say that's about enough mouth out of you. What is a "nan" anyway? Some kind of varmint?

Re: I try to understand?

No, you are telling everyone outside of your church, that they are doing Christianity wrong.

No, we are saying that people who don't follow the Bible aren't Christians. It's really simple logic:

• If you follow the Bible, you're Christian
• If you don't follow the Bible but your own figmented religion, you're not Christian

What's so hard to understand? That we use our God-given ability to READ?

It proves nothing, stop thinking it does.

You are arguing on a Christian forum that Christians shouldn't take the Bible seriously?

How far do you expect to get with that kind of argument?

I know my scripture, I would not use it in a battle of wits with you, it would degrade it.

We are not interested in a battle of wits with an unarmed man.

I am sorry if my opinion challenges your method of spreading hatred, it is how I was brought up as a non fanatical Christian.

Well, as far as I can see, YOU are the one judging us and telling us we're wrong, fanatical, etc, etc.

Maybe the hatred you "see" in us is actually the hatred that boils inside of YOU?

Ever think about that? Ever think at all for that matter?

P.S. You're not a Christian.
