They’ve now systemized a very long list of heretics which includes such people as Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and John Calvin. This also reveals a glaring contradiction: they praise Charles Spurgeon who’s a Calvinist yet attack Calvinism’s originator. They also are convinced anyone who doesn’t take the seven days of Creation literally (ie is a Young Earth Creationist (which again reveals a contradiction: Spurgeon wasn’t a Young Earth Creationist he was an Old Earth Creationist)) or thinks Catholics are real Christians are damned:

Are they saying that God is a liar about how the word “heretick” is correctly spelled?
For shame. :rolleyes:
Curtis, did you know that there’s a WHOLE bunch of sacred Christian writings that aren’t even in the Bible?
If the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Amazing Grace Baptist Church and I are bffs.
Curtis criticizing Amazing Grace Baptist Church = White Citizens’ Council criticizing the KKK
From an outsider’s perspective, anyway. Same shit, different public face.
Obviously you do not understand the differences between Evangelicals and fundamentalists.
Also do not turn this into a religious debate please, go to teh Great Debates subforum for that.
It does invite the question of how you found yourself in the position of learning about AGBC’s activities and plans.
Been slumming?
I don’t understand the difference between your brand of hatred and theirs.
The vast majority of conservative and Evangelical Christians are also ignorant as shit about the developmental process that their own religion and scriptures went through.
I’m sorry, but I think it’s all silly games with a very dark edge. There are Christians I respect and trust, but that respect and trust doesn’t come to them because they’re Christian, but because they’re worthy of respect and trust in themselves. A stranger calling him or herself a Christian doesn’t make me do anything but hold a little tighter to my wallet and examine their motives more closely.
I don’t generally get anything from the vast majority of Christianity but stress and obstacles laid in my path. You have to understand that “Christian” means a much different thing to me than it does to you, and it’s not a positive thing generally. People like Polycarp and Siege are rare exceptions, to me. I know there are denominations that accept gay people without the necessity to deny the possibility of a romantic relationship ever, but even those are in the minority, and none of them with the exception of UU seem to be universally welcoming.
The Christian world is a very different place for me than it is for you, Curtis.
And you might want to examine the motes/logs passage a little more closely, also. You, as an evangelical, might want to look down on the Fundamentalists as embarrassing country cousins, but it might serve you well to look in the mirror. The degree of difference between “Hate the sin, love the sinner” and “God hates fags” is very, very small.
Which isn’t a large difference, Curtis. And it’s been a religious debate since page one. (However, I would suggest you not start yet ANOTHER new thread – you’ve started far, far too many here)
I don’t know whether to be happy that Curtis is back after a slight dip in posting frequency because he’s good for a quick laugh or sad because he, I think, takes himself a little too seriously and isn’t met with the same POV.
Oh and Guin, he’ll start a meaningless public poll if he damn well wants to! Personally, I hope his next poll is asking if he should start a new religious “debate.”
I don’t think that was a religious debate; I think that was an insult to you.
So, nope, still the right forum.
First of all homosexual sex can easily be proven as sinful as 1) sex outside marriage is sinful and 2) marriage is only meant for one man and one woman.
Well then. Issue resolved. Well played.
Hatred is hatred. God is love. The two do not mix.
Well, it was sure nice talking to you. Since we’re obviously not going to do much to change things in there, I guess we’re done.
Let us know when you start thinking for yourself instead of letting your pastor think for you.
Incidentally, I don’t recognize or acknowledge that your religious beliefs apply to me. I’ll thank you to not use them to keep me from achieving equal treatment.
Says you. :rolleyes:
God, it’s like talking to dried mud.
Well, actually “says the Bible”. He should have added that.
Yeah, but I assume they already knew that.
