I was “a little bit country” crazy too. Damn cute!

Here is a little thing that some tortured souls listen to.

It is primitive, and American. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UxsEwco3t8

Here is a little something that clueless souls listen to

I would rather interact with Christians than you, but thanks any way.

[Cronos]

Oh, don’t worry, I’m Christian — I don’t know if you prefer interacting with non-Christians or not, but that’s your choice.

[Cronos]

Before we go further with the hostilities, which are always intriguing, are you saying I personally am not in your measure a Christian or are you calling all people who share my faith as not Christian?

If you are making this just about me, ok, go ahead, I as an individual don't matter not one bit, not one iota, what matters is God's providence and plan.

Always God, not self

[ansel12]

Well, it is your thread, it is your message, fine, I'll move on.

[Cronos]

Hardly “mine” — a thread is a thread. I didn’t write this, just pointed it out.

Criminal, Criminal, criminal, little children, bull.

Nature its self should tell any one that a 40 year old man or a 20 year old or a 75 year old man should not be teaching 17 year old girls, the Bible plainly says that the older women should be teaching them.

---

[1] But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
[2] That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
[3] The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
[4] That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
[5] To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Oh yeah, i found Christ so i no longer desire women, thats a bunch of bull.

Why do people feel that they have to turn into liars to be able to call them selves Christians?

There is such a thing as self control, but its like putting a bag of candy in front of a depression era child and then spanking the hell out of it if it can not resist it.

Did Jesus build his Church to preach the gospel or did he just build the Church to do its own thing?

The men who lead the religious organizations should be well aware of the nature of man and not put temptation in front of men, which shows that much of the Church doctrine comes from women who do not understand the nature of man.

If they are going to preach the Gospel, why don,t they preach the gospel and leave every thing else alone?

The Gospel, Matt,Mark,Luke and john.

Yes this hits every one, The Church was set up to preach the Gospel, the focus should be on the Gospel but it has become on the Church instead.

[Cronos]

I don't think this pastor ever said that. It's wrong to pillory Christianity and our belief in Christ because of the sins of one man.

d not put temptation in front of men, -- yes, we guys are animals, but isn't being Christian trying to rise above this animal instinct?

There is a middle path between Germany (half-naked women) and Saudi Arabia.

[Cronos]

Because that works for itinerant preachers, but people desire a pastor to care for them on a daily basis.

Trying is right, but what concerns me is that men are put into the charge of young women by people who you would think would know that the Bible plainly states that the older women should teach the younger ones.

These things happen more than most people suspect, i have even had pastors tell me that they had to really keep control on their selves.

Point being that if the teaching of the scriptures on how to run a Church was paid more attention to then maybe it would not be so easy for it to get out of hand and come to the extreme as in this case.

I think you are right.

[ravager]

Really? Are you dense? Who said anything about Islam? It is damn well hypocrisy to criticize ANY religion if you cant or wont stand the criticism of your own religion. You still don’t get it?

[ansel12]

I do get your point, and Islam as the second largest religion, and the one most criticized by Christians definitely falls under your opinion that it is hypocrisy for Christians to criticise other religions.

I don’t agree with your opinion that it is hypocrisy to criticize Islam, and by the way, Christianity is the most attacked religion on earth. Even your point seems to have surfaced because of, and to be focused against Christians.
