"Kingdom ready" - Homeschooling or sending your kids to an IFB school because its better to train your kids to be "kingdom ready" than "workforce ready."

"Rapture ready" is another one that gets under my skin.

I am a follower and servant of Christ. YOU are a "Christian," deluded by denominational religion. That is not your sin. Your sin is your refusal to study and learn for yourself, and the arrogance of thinking you know it all.

I'm still learning at 69 years of age, and I was saved at 16 years of age, probably for longer than you've been alive. I started out like you, stuck in the delusions of a fundamentalist church.

I'm living proof that spiritual growth is possible.

Learn for yourself before it's too late. Living in Christ is more important than the respect of other deluded souls.

You have the tendency to take what someone is saying, and sweep it under the carpet.

I have no intention of embracing false teachings, or attacks/accusations made by the adversary. The 'armor of God' is full of arrows, but none have penetrated through it.

They do seem to embrace FEAR as a "friend."

it's a little late for you to avoid embracing false teaching--you are a living example. We are not asked to believe the Bible but to believe the One to whom it points (John5:39-40). We are called to bring liberty to the conscience of others, not enslave them with our own thoughts and beliefs.

Just as a life without love isn't worth living, a faith without love isn't worth following.

Whoever told you have to choose one and reject the other lied to you. Sorry to say.

"But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life."

If someone says they love the Christ, then who are you to say otherwise? Who are you to declare people have no love?

“Judge not, that you be not judged"

But keep it coming, because the more you say, the more clearly people see the bitter fruit you offer.

But I never hear anything about loving Christ from a fundamentalist. what I do hear a lot of is how the bible is inerrant and infallible, and the bible says this and the bible says that. What I also hear a lot about from fundamentalist is a thing called a personal relationship, which obviously if true is an inner thing within you, then how is it you cannot trust that which is within without the aid of the bible ?.
