a gift is just a present given to you by friends and family on holidays

So what you are saying is that to give things to people who aren’t family or friends is a bribe. So when Christ did the miracle of the loaves and fishes and gave food to 5,000, He was bribing people. You say that He only did this so that people would believe in Him. And thus you believe that Christ is corrupt?

I’ve had my suspicions about you from the start – this has confirmed it. Why do you hate God?

did I ever say its bad to give gifts to people?
no
and I never said Christ was corrupt either
and I don't hate god
I'm just saying that trying to bribe people with a nintendo wii won't work
if they believed in your belief they will join on their own
if you try to give them the wii, they might just join to get a wii, not because they really believe in it

Who says it's a bribe? when you get a free toaster for opening a new money market account (minimum $10,000 deposit required) you don't call it a bribe do you?

We call it an incentive.

1Co:15:55: O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
1Co:15:56: The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

Is this “THE LAW” of which you speak? You claim to be “the strength of sin”? For we at Landover Baptist Church are not afraid for the Bible continues:

1Co:15:57: But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Co:15:58: Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

And although, on earth, it is sometimes a thankless task, we continue of bringing God’s Word to the world. Praise!

There are none as deaf as they that will not hear!

Duce xm, how does that work? Christ tells us that there is joy in heaven when a sinner repents, so, if Landover Baptist Church tries to incentivize sinners to hear the Word of The Lord and come to the One True Religion™ we are the ones who are sinning?

Does a sinner want a wii? Yes. Does a True Christian™? No.

The Lord wants sinners to come to Him
M'r:1:17: And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
Now how does a fisherman do his job – with incentives. Christ wants souls to be Saved™. As always, Landover does the Work of The Lord yet heathens, liars and the godless, like you, come telling us we are the ones who are wrong!

Shame be upon you! Praise be to the Lord!

[Stridex Puss Bucket]

I see your point, but I still doubt it will work, I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm saying I don't think it will be very effective
and I do believe in god, thank you very much

Deus-x you’d be amazed how many have come here, not just to this Godly forum, but the other areas here at Landover and have gone away inspired.

All our work for The Lord is guided, through prayer, by Him – sometimes many are brought to Salvation, sometimes none. BUT, and this is the important point, we do not question His Wisdom and Guidance for we cannot be aware of the Mysteries encompassed in Him.

Your belief in God is a beginning but no more than that. You may have seen elsewhere in Landover, that to be Saved™ a person must accept the entire Word of God as in the Bible, KJV 1611 of course.

God has thus shown us the Way, The Truth and The Light that through Him we may be Saved™. Often false priests, pastors, vicars and churches will hide some of the Words of God from public sight. They will pick and choose little bits of the Bible. This creates an individual religion – it does not create Christianity – these people are no better than heathens.

So at Landover we do not just read, learn and accept the bits where God’s generosity is shown, such as when He spares the life of the children some tribe but slaughters everyone else, but also where God exhibits His wondrous powers and drowns all life on earth, men women, children, etc., (The Flood) for His Greater Plan. This is the True Christianity.

Can you accept that or do you want to ignore parts of His Word and thus, at your death, be cast into the Fires of Hell?

I bet you're secretly trying to recruit gay's, so you're dragging attention to the gay parts of games so people think "OMGI'MGAY!"
And if you ban me, I know I'm right.
Come on, you can still save me from the eternal fires of Hell!
Tbh, I'd rather spend eternity in Hell than a day with you guys.
Oh, and I soooooo can't wait 'til this "army" comes to Britain.

Actually if you are one of them anal probing sodomites you really should be spreading your filth elsewhere, perhaps some democrat or liberal forum like EWTN or some such craziness.

Paypal is a catholic term I believe; as in "paypal authority of the pope". All the paypal gang is going to burn in an everlasting hell of fire to start with so what exactly are you referring to heathen?

Jesus condemned the Pharisees for making his Father's House a den of theives (See John 2:15-16). I'm afraid I can't encourage this at all.

In His Precious Name,

Actually Roy boy, Jesus' church is starving for the participation of young people today. No shortage of geriatrics, its the kids we need to get in order to assure constant influx of mammon in years to come. The PS3 and Wii units get them in and hooked while they are young and guarantees our success later before satan gets them hooked on drugs, pornography and liberalism and such.

I have been duly censored for my illicit confusion concerning PayPal and papal. I now understand that one applies to a method of tithing to Jesus and one to that Godless heretic the catlick pope. I repent and ask the forgiveness of the congregation, shunnest me not brethren!

I accepted Jesus back in the 80's and have been a gun-totin, bible believin red-blooded american ever since....does this mean that I am entitled to a PS3 or is there some kind of clause???

Are you mocking us Boy?

That's funny, your DOF file says you're a demon worshiping druid, and a queer to boot.

Anything you want to tell us, nancy? We don't take kindly to satan worshipers who try and trick us into giving them free Playstations...

[Brother DT]

Yeah there is something I would like to tell you Pastor Eziekiel. I was saved at the age of 14 and have been serving Him ever since. However I am also down to earth and am proud to be a gay-druid or whatever you say I am. I also like Rock Music and my favorite group's are Queen and AC-DC. But Jesus is Numero-Uno in my life. Im not judging you guys nor do I want to start a debate. Im just looking for some good old fashioned Christian Fellowship...and I do not want to join the Mormons or the Jehovah's Witnesses to do so.

Have a blessed day

Brother DJ

[eliot mayfield]

AC/DC means bi sexual and Queen was a gay band.

Well pal, I'm glad to hear that you're looking for the right crowd to "hang out" with. Christians are the best people on earth! By the way, I hope you know that Jehovah Witnesses and Mormons are not Christians...

The only trouble is, it is just impossible to be a queer and a Christian. Anyone who claims to be is either a tool of satan or else they're deluding themselves. The Bible is crystal clear on this point: Sodomites are an abomination and God wants them killed. God wants you to stop committing sodomy, and go back to being normal. That's the ONLY way He'll take you, friend.

How old are you now? How long have you been struggling with the hobby of sodomy?

[Boomerang]

Actually i am quite disappointed that you let access to some games.
