    Brief Introduction

    Hello all.

    My name is Adam, and i am from the United Kingdom.

    I'm here more on a fact-finding mission - well, to learn about this branch of Christianity.

    I'm interested to try to understand the major differences between you Baptists and Catholics?

    Where do your beliefs differ exactly, and why?

    Thanks.

    Re: Brief Introduction

    Here is where you introduce yourself. Tell us what church you go to and what your favorite Bible verse is and how you came to find Jesus.

    Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

      Yes, why haven't you posted a proper introduction?

      As for fact-finding expeditions, if you want to learn facts, I suggest you crack open your King James Bible and start reading!

        If you read the Bible and follow it you are Baptist. If you worship Mary and abuse little boys you are Catholic.

        1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

        Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

        Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

          Catholics pray to Mary and a long list of other dead Saints. Thus Catholicism is a form of necromancy, or communion with the deceased. God forbids this and all forms of wizardry. The Baptist faith has absolutely nothing to do with Catholicism, or any other form of flagrant sin.

          Most people who pay lip service to Jesus have ulterior motives. For Catholics, it is just a way to lure little boys within raping distance.

                In a nutshell, the biggest difference I would say is that Catholics are bound for Hell while Bible believing Baptists are bound for Heaven.

                To find out why, read God's Word. God is never ambiguous in His Word.

                I Kings 7:23

                And he made a moulten Sea, ten cubites from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, & his height was fiue cubits: and a line of thirtie cubites did compasse it round about.

                New here? Desiring to be pleasing in the eyes of The Lord and His Followers?

                Then do as directed by our esteemed Pastors and head on over to the Introductions subforum and make your first post there, friend. Tell us what church you go to and what your favorite Bible verse is and how you came to find Jesus. Anything else you want to share with us about how Jesus has blessed you is welcomed too.

                Are you a hater of God that believes He is a morally bankrupt monster? Read Why, you ask, is God so angry? to see that it is in fact you that is the monster that mercilessly and infinitely torments God.

                Stop this relentless torturing of God and accept Jesus today!

                  Re: Brief Introduction

                  Not much of a fact finding mission. More of a "Please do my homework for me".

                  Typical atheist to cheat at something.

                  1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

                  Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

                  Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

                    Hi Adam

                    At first I was afraid to talk to you, being a ghost and everything. But I figured a ghost named Adam couldn't be too scary. I'm still a little reluctant, though:

                    Leviticus 20:6 ¶ And the soule that turneth after such as haue familiar spirits, and after wizards, to goe a whoring after them, I will euen set my face against that soule, and will cut him off from among his people.
                    I hope you're sincere about wanting to know more about the difference between the heaven bound (Baptists) and hell bound (Pretty much anyone else). As an ex-Catholic I probably have a lot I could tell you.

                    BUT:

                    Tell me more about why you are seeking GOD and His truth. I promise it will be worth your time.

                    John 6:37 All that the Father giueth mee, shall come to mee; and him that commeth to me, I will in no wise cast out.
                    Love ya bro,

                      Son, we have a whole forum dedicated to False Religions and Cults, and the cathylicks have historically been the biggest worldwide menace we have a whole sub-forum dedicated to them - Catholics Aren't Christians



                      You do need to exhibit a little initiative here to take advantage of the vast resources of the Landover Baptist Church. Indeed, God didn't intend that you would just waltz into heaven without exerting some kind of effort. Even the hindaloos would see you as reincarnated into a cockroach if you didn't behave yourself.

                      I realize that the UK has so many socialists now that no one wants to do any work, but you need to get over it.

                        Re: Brief Introduction

                        My apologies, friends.

                        Please forgive me for my transgressions.

                        I have been raised as a Protestant myself, but this would be my fathers failings, and not mine.

                        I have to admit, i've spent the last few hours reading the various threads, and i feel more at peace here than i have at any other time/stage of my life. A lot of what the good posters have said resonate with me deeply.

                        For example, i feel Christianity in today's climate is so misrepresented its blasphemous. My fellow protestants carry on about loving thy neighbour and how Jesus was so merciful, but do they forget other passages of the bible where he slew the unbelievers? Why do they pick and choose the message of the Messiah? Surely, one must read the message as a whole?

                        Anyway, to learn even more about being a Baptist, i have found a new church to visit (Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church), which i plan to do this weekend. I will ensure to take my wife with me.

                        As for my favourite verse, it indeed would have to be:

                        Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.


                        Thank you.

                          Re: Brief Introduction

                          Adam, I can see your undestanding is somewhat muddled. This has often been found to be the case with Englishmen.

                          First of all, let me be clear: There are no "branches" of Christianity. You are either a Christian or you are not. If you are a Christian, you follow the Word of God and Jesus and no excuses about it.

                          Also. more of a curiosity, you do know that Baptists are Protestants, do you not?

                          Protestant is a rather loose designation, really, and I guess you could say that a lot of people who call themselves Protestants aren't even True Christians. Protestants are those who first rose up against the Whore of Rome, them who crucified the Lord Jesus up on Golgotha. They were those who first realized that the Romans aren't Christians and cursed the Pope. Theoretically, that makes them the first "modern" Christians, but that was not always actually true. Many of those early Protestants never actually found Jesus and they never were saved, just as it is today.

                          I believe your heart may well be in the right place. I believe you want to know Jesus and follow Him. The investigation will be completed soon and then the truth will be proven beyond any doubt.

                          God Bless and welcome!

                            Dear Alvin,

                            Thank you so much for taking the time out to correct me and educate me.

                            I must apologise for my failure to truly understand the history of Baptists and Protestants.

                            I must say, your post is heart warming and and educational, and i already feel i would do well to fit in here and join you in praising the good Lord.

                            I am also please, then, that being raised as a Protestant, i am more than halfway there to being a good Baptist.

                            Hopefully, i will understand a great deal more this weekend when i visit the aforementioned Baptist Church.

                            Wishing you well,

                            Adam.
