Yars,
From my perspective they're all false. That's exactly who you rub elbows with at American churches. People who take pride in seeing things in absolutes, and take gratification from drawing those lines in the sand.

Discipler,
I am a devout Catholic. I have read the Bible front to back many times over, and turn to it in some of my darker times. I have studied it in college in both a literay and historical context.
I HATE how born agains like yourself interpret the Bible and spread division and hatred. I am aware of what and how I quote and would be happy to discuss biblical passages and cultural contexts with you all day. You would lose, but never admit you learned anything.
My favorite Old Testament book being that of the Book of Job which really is God telling a bunch of humans that they are arrogant to even begin to assume what His plan is, yet people of your ilk continue to be happy and have some degenerate NEED to preach and control in the name of god.
Even the Sermon on the mount tells us not to take that in vain and use a simple Yeso r No. Your need to invoke God's name and the Bible at every turn is sad.
I'm done with this nonsense. Don't know why I bother.

Spent much time in American churches, Mimio?
My experience in the church has been one of people of are genuinely loving, patient and who have a deep hunger to know Christ more. People with no agenda beyond sharing the love they've found with others.

Discipler,
Actaully I have spent quite a bit of time in churches in the Midwest. So I'm saying from personal observation that they are consistently divisive people so willing/desperate to believe something supernatural occurs in their lives that they often confuse a caffeine buzz with the holy spirit.

Tick, it is evident that you hate. It is clearly evident in your posts. The irony is, I respectully share about the love of Christ and share actual Bible passages. You, on the other hand, spew hatred using charged labels like "Born Agains" as though that were some kind of derogatory thing. (despite the fact that the Bible clearly says there is only ONE kind of Christian - Born Again. Read John Ch. 3).
The real issue is that you've bought into some kind of caricature of people who take the Bible literally. A caricature likely sold to you by your academic and political gurus. But that's just an assumption on my part. Either way, you would do well to do an honest search on your own.

The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water.
Numbers 5:22
I will do so for us. It will be quiet a bit of washing I am afraid.

Bwahahahaa. Hilarious. I've met chums that have told me similiear experiences. Usually ends with them asking for donations for the new car that god promised them.

Religion has has ALWAYS been a means to control!!! It says as much even in the Bible. So watch out.
Jevad, it don't matter what these blokes say. You will never pursue God on your own. God is the one in pursuit of us and if He wants you, He gets you. I don't see how it could be any different seeing that He is the Absolute being.

isnt Bush christian? why he killing them people?
- discipler0
Mimio, based on my experience, I find that hard to believe. Granted, there are exceptions everywhere. The church is made up of imperfect people. This does not, however, call into question the validity of the faith.
It seems to me that you've let a couple of bad experiences cause you to be bitter.

You have brought trouble on me by making me a stench to the people living in this land. We are few in number, and if they join forces against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.
