More filthy lucre!
BTW: What I have noticed is this forum has become almost entirely Mormon or Catholic threads. Have all of the Protestants left?
I'm still waiting for DU to name names of who this son of perdition is since he is to be revealed
Shhhhh, thats just the facts that Joey can't defend himself on (although that defense was already done)
the Lord knows all our hearts and minds plus movtives MHGinTN!..
And on that Great and Dreadful day we shall see...
The mormons have decided to bury the forum in mormon propaganda since they don't like being opposed in their proselytizing, and wish to stifle the opposition...hence this thread and all the others.
I don't know about the Catholic threads.
There are still some Protestants left...a few of us are braving the threatened "hosing" daily. Feel free to join in.
Which post? I guess I missed it. I don't bother wading through DU's stuff.
Why resty, that's just what I've been telling YOU on another thread...imagine that!
Calvery Baptist Church, on Green Lane in Bristol, Pa.
Sunday School 9:30 am, Main Service 11 am, Sunday evenings 7 pm, and Wednesday Prayer Meetings 7 p,.
Vacation Bible School every summer, and I went to Word of Life Camp, in Schroon Lake, upstate NY every summer until I was 14. (the last year was in 69, and I remember fighting the traffic heading to Woodstock.)
We had many a fabulous traveling preacher who would do one or two week revivals, each night, at our church. They included Rev Lehman Strauss, Jack Van Impe (still on TV each week) and many others whom I cant recall at the moment.
My church was so strict, my dad wouldn’t even allow me to play pool on Sundays. Absolutely no dancing. (it was a sin back then)
No alcohol what so ever. No card playing. Smoking would not send you to hell, but it smelled like you had been there (little church joke there)
Crew cuts only. Long hair was effeminite, and an absolute sin.
I went to see the great Rev. Billy Graham several times, and my family put up missionaries each year. (they slept in my bedroom, which meant I had to move in with my sister)
My church preached fire and brimstone, literally. They have mellowed somewhat, and kids now can have long hair, wear bell bottoms, and play cards.
They can dance also, and I believe the preacher there now (as has Billy Graham) has since backed off the concept of a literal Hell.
I got allowance based on how many Bible verses I could memorize.
I still believe what I was taught as a youngster. (Phil 2: 6??) Train up a child in God’s Word, and when he gets older, he will not depart from it... (paraphrased, and the verse number might be wronga)
Still, I cannot stand people who think THEY are the absolute truth. My church changed so much over the years, as have ALL churches.
People who get smarmy on Mormons should be ashamed. America was founded on the greatest democratic principal of God’s Universe — FREEDOM OF WORSHIP.
I will never believe anything taught by the Mormon church. Still, I respect and admire them as good conservatives, good Americans.
Absurd! You make an utterly illegitimate assertion.
The Bible is not one book with one human penman. The Book contains, in and of itself, many witnesses.
On the other hand, the Book of Mormon is penned by one man - one false witness.
OK, DU which version of the Book of Mormon is inspired? Was it the first truncated version of 116 pages? (The one he gave to Martin Harris, whose wife lost it?) Those 116 pages were never "re-translated." So because of that, is the only truly inspired Book of Mormon the original gold plates? (Sounds like to me it would be). Does that reality--not having the ONE good translation of the BoM--keep Mormon folk from reading & trusting in the BoM? (Nope). So it sounds like a double standard you're using, right? (Yup)
Fair enough?
ROFLOL....ok, mom.
Almost as bad as sevenbak's posts.
Usually 56 pages of junk - none of which directly answers the question that was asked.
These were the questions I asked, but you seem to have described a church that you used to go to. Which type of Baptist church do you attend now?
Which fundamentalist baptist church do you belong to?
Since you are a practicing Baptist, how did you come to have such little influence in your home that your wife and your children are Catholics?
Click on the link in 1053 and enjoy your evening, brother in Christ.
You’re coming in at a post at post 973 to answer post 103.
Hon, you’re a bit late to the party and I’m already in bed.
Bye!
I didn't say I or my family were practicing Catholics.
My wife was raised a Catholic, but she came to like my church and eventually considered herself a practicing Baptist (I think).
She preferred Calvary Baptist over her former Catholic church, which was Queen of the Universe, and St. Michael's.
I only said I took my kids to Catholic Church occasionally just to passify my wife's parents, who naturally were still devout Catholics back then.
I now attend a church, Christian Life Center, in Bensalem, Pa., which I think considers itself with the Assemblies of God.
I know nothing about the Assemblies of God.
All I know is that for two years, our preacher (several of them) preached straight out of the Bible: redemption, salvation, the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.... which is the only path to eternal life in Heaven.
No good works will get you there. No special prayers.
No matter how many times you attend Church, no matter how much you donate to whomever.
Sorry, was getting carried away there
