Who knows better than the parents what "correction" their children need? I don't know, maybe someone who wouldn't literally beat their child to death for mispronouncing a word.

No True Christian(tm) has ever beaten a child to death for mispronouncing a word.

No True Christian™ has ever beaten a child to death for mispronouncing a word.

That's because you would change the definition of True Christian™ specifically to exclude those people, even if they follow all of the same beliefs and practices that you follow. Those people, Kevin and Elizabeth Schatz, were following the teachings of No Greater Joy Ministries. Incidentally, their child was left "without breath to complain."

You seem angry, friend. Why do you hate Jesus?

Why do you assume I hate Jesus? I'm criticizing Michael Pearl's teachings. I said nothing about Jesus.

Not at all. True Christians(tm) are certified by Landover Baptist Church.

And the Schatzes did not follow the Pearls' instructions. The first and most important rule in disciplining a child is to remember that the point is to educate and correct the child's behavior, not relieve one's own frustration. A child should never be disciplined when the adult is angry.

Glad to hear it. And I assume you agree with all Jesus said.

2 Chronicles 15:13 Whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

Re: Introductions Are In Order

I used Pastor Ezekiel's name to clarify that I was finished addressing you, Destiny's Blunder, and was addressing Pastor Ezekiel. It's much faster and easier than posting a different reply to each of you. If that wasn't an honest mistake on your part, then it just came across as a poorly thought out attempt at an insult. Honestly, it seems like so many people on this site seize upon every opportunity they can to make those who question them look like fools when it's completely uncalled for, but I digress. I can elaborate on the inconsistencies that I've seen if you like.

A True Christian cannot kill a child through Godly domestic discipline no matter how hard he beats them. We know this because they Bible tells us,

Proverbs 23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

I realize you're new to the Bible, friend . . . Jesus didn't say that. And it's not a commandment, it is describing a pact particular Jews made. Before Jesus came--Old Testament.

Read it in context, DB!

2 Chronicles 15:12-15

12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;

13 That whosoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

14 And they sware unto the Lord with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.

15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the Lord gave them rest round about.

But Jesus did say this:

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

So all who deny Him will spend eternity being burned alive in His Lake of Fire!

I'm curious. Exactly who gave you that authority, and how do I know you're not just making it up to make yourselves feel more important?
I also doubt that your church actually owns that trademark.

Thank you, Reverand, for the correction. Sometimes my enthusiasm gets the better of my knowledge. Without the good pastors here there's no telling how far I'd stray from biblical Truth(tm).

It's not my church. That's why I'm an "Honorary True Christian™".

Landover Baptist Church trademarked "True Christian™" a number of years ago to differentiate between those who follow all of the Bible, as written (True Christians™) and those who do not (false Christians). Anyone designated a True Christian(tm) can be trusted to present a Biblically-correct position on any matter of discussion.

And you may doubt whatever you like. Your belief or doubt does not change objective reality, no matter how much you may wish that power.

Re: Introductions Are In Order

A child should never be disciplined when the adult is angry.

Amen, dear Reverend!

Why, when Mr. Etheldreda takes it upon himself to deliver some Godly correction, he always makes sure he is in a very calm, and focused state of mind. When he is free from emotional passion he can issue forth a proper, practical discipline, one free from distractions and false sympathy by the cries of the child.

What I meant was, who gave Landover that authority? You're right, though. Belief can't change objective reality. I checked the Patent and Trademark Office, and I found that Landover Baptist Church does not own the trademark of the term True Christian. I also did some more research, and found out that Freehold doesn't even exist.
Also, to Mary Etheldreda, who gave me an infraction: 1 Timothy 2:12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.

Does not apply to True Christian women correcting unsaved trash.

Re: Introductions Are In Order

Jesus

Again, I must ask, how do I, or you, or anyone else, know this? Isn't it possible that they just made that up to make their pathetic, and possibly non-existent, little church seem more important? It's not uncommon, actually. The Westboro Baptist Church also claims to be the one True Church, as do many others, so their word, as well as Landover's, means absolutely nothing. Also, are you saying that by being a good, True Christian, the Word of God, or even a small part of it, does not apply to Mrs. Etheldreda? This is what I meant when I said this site, and the people on it, is inconsistent.
I double-checked, and Freehold simply does not exist.
