"Freedom isn't Free" is a cliche for a good reason. Freedom comes with a price, a price that was paid on the battle fields of our ancestors and the blood that is still shed today by our brave men and women of the military. On some days ( like yesterday) American private citizens have paid a terrible price for these freedoms but to restrict any of these freedoms would be a terrible injustice for all those have died to give us those freedoms!
this will surely show my ignorance on this church thing in the us but
does the baptist church have a ruling /governing board?
wondering why other baptist aren't concerned/mad about this offshoot of
their church and whether they can take away their status as a church.
seems like there was a story in the past that involved the presbyterian church ?
Heh in the US any dumbass can become whatever religious leader they claim to but they better pay the taxes. I forget what it is but they have to have certain qualifications to become legally a church. I forget what they are now. Maybe it's in google or bing.
Yes, there is a difference between a cult and a church.
Do a bit of reading.
Unless of course you are anti-religion and then there's nothing I can post to show you the difference.
I doubt they truly believe. They do it to make money. People will donate to anything that sells hate in the name of a god. I know a man who thinks they are doing good by protesting the gay funerals. I had to show him they are doing it for the wrong reason. Had they truly cared about the souls of the deceased and family members they would have told them to repent and ask forgiveness instead of waiting until it's too late to preach to them. They only do it to instigate a fight and then they sue the people they deliberately antagonize and hurt. Don't cheer them just because they use hate towards gays as sinners but look at the real reason they do it and say it.
I think it's sad that they would consider themselves a Christian. God wouldn't not want people to be spewing ignorant statement like a little attention deprived freak. I'm sure most Christians here wouldn't agree with this. At least I hope.
No. There is only one form of Christianity, and there is nothing Christian about the WBC.
Then why do christians feud like the Hatfields and McCoys? Wander over to the Christianity sub forum and checkout the ET vs. UR threads. There is some visceral hatred aired between so called christians.
Considering this insane wacko family of attorneys know just how far they can go before they cross the line it will be left up to the people to show up wherever they go and surround them and shout them down. I consider them depraved!
You can call yourself anything you want but that doesn't make it so. I could call myself a super model and that wouldn't make it true anymore then the WBC are Christian!!!
