Will they not answer for their deeds?
They claim to be the ultimate authority on scripture...when in reality, God is the only ultimate authority...so, they are calling themselves God.
They are arrogant and prideful.
They have turned so many good people away from the Christian faith with their hateful rhetoric.
Will God not hold them responsible for other's souls whom they have alienated and pushed out the doors of the church?
What will they say when they stand before God, and he says, why should I let you into my heaven?...Will they say, I was mean and hateful and pounded people over the head with the Bible...I told them to believe as I did...of course, I did this all in your name...to show them Christ's love.

Max,
Show them the face of Christ. Not the backhand of judgement...
That is perfect...Thanks!

If you condemn them you are just the pot calling the kettle black.
Lead by example, my friend.
Show them the difference between being righteous and being SELF-righteous.
Show them God's mercy vs. man's condemnation.
Show them what it means to UNDERSTAND the bible rather than memorize a few key passages to be used against others.
Show them the face of Christ. Not the backhand of judgement.

Anyone who would turn God's message of love into hate speech either doesn't understand the basic tenets of Christianity, or doesn't want to.
If they don't yet understand, at least there's hope for the future.
If they don't want to understand, they're doomed, no matter how loudly they claim to be "saved".
Either way, God will take care of things, in his own way.
In the mean time, we can all learn from other's mistakes.

To truly show the Love of Christ one should do it with Love.
Jesus did not come to condemn the world but to give us a way back to Love.
To judge another means to condemn if we judge outside of Love.
To discern anothers motives means to judge in Love what fruits another is bearing,and that goes for anyone even those claiming the good news of Jesus.

I hate fundamentalist, especially Christian and Islamic Fundamentalist. They think that they have to true religion and anyone else who says other wise they either kill them, as we see in the middle east on television or they just hate you. In my honest opinion all fundamentalists should go f**k themselves.

if you love God and believe in him, then all you can do is make sure you talk witness to as many as you can. Don't point finger just witness. God will do the rest.amen
