madison man,
You said,and I quote, What I do not understand is why the true and genuine followers of Christ's path do not speak out against this horrible sacrilege. Been there and done that in the Spirit with power and signs andwonders. Many were filled with the Holy Spirit and then led by the Lord to get away from where they were. It is no picnic walking into churches and displaying the power of the Holy Spirit expecting that the leadership will rejoice in it. Nevertheless, it is the Lord's church. No need to walk away from the faith and your faithfulness to God because of errant men. The Church is Christ's, not theirs. The Lord moves his people that were not his people to be where the Lord plants them, not men. Many preachers may complain from the pulpit that these are being led astray and falling away into the world again. If I had not witnessed otherwise, I would be apt to believe them. Wheat and the weeds grow together, madison man. Although men may lead people down the primrose path, the strait and narrow is no picnic and the smooth things of these men are not changing Christianity. They are a self policing scrub down. Even a skeptic can see the error. That is the grace of God given for discernment, not to throw the baby out with the bath water. That came off as a pun. I like that. I will leave that there. peace. |

Here's the thing that many fail to realize. People are people wether they have "religion" or not. Everyone at one point or another is a hypocrite. The only thing is that if a non Christian acts like a hypocrite, people just write it off, but the minute someone claiming to be a Christian does something contrary to what they say they believe (in other words make a human mistake) he or she is labeled a hypocrite and all of Christianity is written off as something close-minded people need to feel good about themselves. I say that if you are going to say anything about Christianity you must first understand what it is. I am a Christian. I hate religion. I believe in a relationship with Jesus Christ who died for my sins so that I could one day go to Heaven. Now if you have a problem with what I believe or think me to be close-minded, that's your perrogative. But think about this, why is it that when a Christian mentions her beliefs and stands true to those she is labeled a close-minded radical, but if she ever wavers and makes a mistake she is labeled a hypocrite? Is not doing that a hypocritical act in itself? Think about it. VERY well said! I agree totally !!! Hi Spaceman |

Can someone answer this question? Who is the enemies of the Chrisians, (specifically the Evangelical Christians)and why ??? Oh that's an easy one... the politically correct...the unbelievers, the new agers, down right devil worshippers & pagans & the rebellious in heart ...basically? Those who don't want to follow God's will. Having eyes they never see...having ears they never hear. That's what God's word says. Intellectualizing God's word doesn't make one a Christian. The ones who complain about how they 'studied" God's word weren't really seeking Him. You can't be double minded about God. |

They hate Jesus Christ and the Lord God Almighty. They prefer the spirit of satan. AMEN! I said the same thing.... Don't be weary in doing good.... |

Sorry Franshade, but it is a fact. All, and the ONLY thing one has to do is look at the posts made by certain people WHO PARTICIPATE IN THIS WEBSITES POLITICAL FORUMS who are non christian. Like the original op of this thread. I see Christians get bashed to you know where and back on here, just go through the posts. I will make it easier for you, go look through posts directed at me. Go look at the post this original op made on a thread I started on Pro Life tribute, The Lion King song, "When A Child is Born." Not only did this person hijack the thread he used it to try to turn people against God and Christianity. Quite a SICKENING action to do. Degrade the unborn child by hating God and denying His existence on a thread like that. Read the posts Franshade. That is something that cannot be denied. Lindyy PTL Mockery & insults is the only line of defense when one lacks substance Lindyy...don't let them bother you one bit. Like the devil who is the accuser of God's children, they are like minded. God says don't let these sort of things upset your heart. They are foolishness. |

They hate Jesus Christ and the Lord God Almighty. They prefer the spirit of satan. The very fact that you claim that wiccans 'prefer the spirit of satan' -- of course meaning that they worship satan -- is completely unfounded and shows you have done little to no research on it. Wiccan is a religon based solely on the natural forces. Though also the same would go for pantheists. Not that I am either, but it is cruel to be so condemning to them. Just because they do not believe in one single god as you must certainly does not mean that they will not attain their own salvation. According to my Bible the wages of sin is death. That's what God says. It is crueler to say nothing while there is still a chance for repentance & salvation through Christ Jesus. |

Lindyy PTL Read the post Ms. Lindy, still feel you are wrong in saying that ALL of those you grouped together, because they dont agree with you. While you are entitled to your opinion, I am as well. It is wrong to assume or group others to prove a point. And bringing up another post, is a form of hijacking no? |

MsQuikstepper - I at no time mocked nor insulted Ms. Lindy. I dont need a form of defense as my opinion is like yours, both unique and we are both entitled to it, doesnt make one right and one wrong. As a matter of fact I do believe your post did in fact try and mock me. But things like these get brushed off just like you said, as simple foolishness. |

"Having eyes they never see...having ears they never hear. That's what God's word says. Intellectualizing God's word doesn't make one a Christian." -Quikstepper
And not being willing to suspend reason, logic, scientific-minded inquiry and skepticism doesn't make one a worshiper of all things demonic. Trading in intellectual curiosity for a place in the afterlife might comfort the faithful but it just won't do. -Drew |

So basically you have to be a mindless drone or you are an enemy of christianity? Not allowed to be politically correct? Not allowed to be rebellious at heart? Not allowed to have Intellectual thoughts and feelings about the word of God that you are supposed to be worshipping without questions? You talk about people that have eyes but can't see, and ears that can't hear. I would tell you to go take a look in the mirror at that statement but I don't think you'd see anything that can help you there. You are so engrossed in the shroud that is pulled over your eyes that I am surprised you can even see where you are going. I have met Pagans, Wiccans, Atheists, Agnostics, Druids, Shamans, Bhuddists, and even Satanists that would not spout out the drabble you are trying to sell us. How wrong is it that even Satanists don't have as much hate and contempt for the other people around them that you and Lindyy seem too. That even Satanists are more accepting and caring for other people than some Christians who follow the "Word of God" |

They hate Jesus Christ and the Lord God Almighty. They prefer the spirit of satan. Excuse me? I'm a Pagan. I wear the Hammer proudly. I do not hate your Christ! I simply do not follow your faith. Nor do I mock those those of your faith. I wish that I could say the same in reverse though. |

If the whole christianity were like this, I promise to each one of you that I would not be a christian at all. |
