Re: Help me understand

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. (Matthew 6:14-15 KJV)

In my reading of that, I take that you should forgive people for their sins and accept them. You all take no part of that passage and show hate and bigotry and go so far as to pray for people's deaths.

You are very mistaken about these folks. You will never meet a more forgiving bunch than the pastors and members of the Landover Baptist Church!

For example, I once quoted a large part of one of Pastor Zeke's sermons on my blog without first obtaining written permission and paying the standard licensing fee. The Landover legal team was fit to be tied, but Pastor Zeke instructed them to set up a payment plan I could live with, and all was forgiven!

In fact, sometimes I even wind up mailing my payment late, because it's so easy to forget the incident ever happened!

Thanks, Zeke!

Then go away and read it then come back and have something worthwhile to say.

How can you imply we are mistaken when all you are basing your stance on is what you half heartedly learned in Sunday school?

Re: Help me understand

Friend, I'd like to take this opportunity to reach out to you, man to man. I'll assume for the moment, all you have said so far is true.
You say you are a 'Presbyterian' yet you've never read the Bible. That is like saying you are an excellent driver yet have not read the manual and therefore cannot possibly be a safe driver.
You mention parts of the Bible yet you never read the book. How did you choose those passages?
Friend, you seem to have some issues. I want to believe you like I believe in God.

Re: Help me understand

Do you not think, however, that your forum preaches hate, nonacceptance, bigotry, and death to people who don't think exactly as you do?

No. We preach the Word of God, which demands execution for adulterers, apostates, homosexuals, people who work on the Sabbath, and many more. Unfortunately, we are also bound to follow secular law, so until we gain full control of the House and Senate, we will have a difficult time enacting death penalties for these sins.

God, for His part, promises to take all those sorts of people, and liars and fornicators and all unbelievers, and resurrect them at Judgment so He can burn them alive for all eternity in His Lake of Fire.

Is that what you consider "love"?

Do you think God actually loves sinners and, as a result, brings them back to life from death so He can torment them for all time?

What kind of a sick monster do you think God is, anyway?

Well don't bother. The Holy Bible tells us that you can't understand the Word of God because your father is satan.

John 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
