Do people really believe that the members of the Baptist Church in Topeka,Kansas are really Christian?
When Atheists see something like this do they think that all Christians are this crazy and that's why they ridicule us?
As a Christian I'm not afraid to take a stand and say that these people are not Christian but something else altogether.
And that something would be more akin to the devils advocate.
Wouldn't you agree?

I am christian- knowing that:

If you believe the bible word for word what about the passage in which Jesus tells you to cut off your hand if it causes you to sin/jab out your eye if it causes you to sin? Why are you not all handless blind people?

I know this sounds rude, but I cannot find another to way to word it. I just dont see how you can believe the bible word for word, literally and more metaphorically.

How about we avoid semantics. Are sinners going to burn forever in hell? The Bible seems clear they will so why do some "Christians" teach there is no Hell? For my purposes lets assume Hell refers to a place of punishment and fire.

Sinners are cast into an everlasting fire.

Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Everlasting punishment for sinners.

Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

If Hell is just the grave then why are we warned to fear the one who can kill and then cast you into Hell? If you are dead what fear does a grave hold?

Luke 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

The rich man was in torment in Hell.

Where are they?
I have been reading many ancient texts, and the Popes and Catholic Church as presented by modern Catholic proponents simply ....DO NOT EXIST in the ancient texts.

To you, is it possible that your brain conjures up both your sense of a soul and your sense of a divine presence in your life?

knows all, see's all, and created all then how is it he is not responsible for evil?
if he created everything then he had to have created evil as well. and if you can create evil then you need to have a dark or evil side as well and if he has this dark or evil side than he can't be all that perfect can he?

" Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them."

Unless the world is flat, altitude simply will not help you see all the kingdoms of the earth.

It's a new revelation of religious truth to our planet from God's government. No, seriously! And it contains the entire, complete, and true life and teachings of Jesus, taken both from human sources when accurate and complete, and from celestial sources, that is, the records of God's doings on earth as recorded by His angels and such. You can read it here:

I very rarely post a question on here, but did tonite. It asked if people would join me in praise of God because of a wonderful blessing we received today.

I received a violation notice on it. LOL Man, talk about satan at work. Guess it was too much of a testimony for the enemy to deal with huh?

God bless

Herod that is portrayed as evil and not BIRTHDAYS?

" On Herod's birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for them and pleased Herod so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. Prompted by her mother, she said, ' Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist. ' The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he ordered that her request be granted and had John beheaded in prison. "
