Subject: Oh I get it, follow your church or go to hell?
In reply to: Nathaniel P. Robbins 's message, "Hmmm... about 125,000 members of Landover Baptist... yes, I believe that puts the majority of the World in Hell. We like our elbow-room in Heaven!..." on 11:37:06 03/02/00 Thu

sigh....I grow tired of reading your "rebukes". I'm very sorry, but evrything you say here "rebuking" me, just keeps showing me how badly you have misconstrued my point. It seems that you can't grasp the concept of you own imperfection. In your eyes you are perfect. I have trouble believing this. if your God is truly all knowing and loving, then he knows your thoughts, he knows that u hate me, and I think that's a sin, I know you will say that you don't hate me, but tell me, can you condemn a person to hell if you DON'T hate them? Jesus tells you to love your neighbor, he tells you to love everyone, he saved a whore from being stoned to death, I seriously don't think he would be proud of how you are treating people who disagree with you. Furthermore, how does one become "saved" if one cannot attend your church? I recall church being a place where the "saved" go to rejoice in being "saved" and the "unsaved" go to become "saved". I just want to know when church became a private club where only the "saved" can attend. You realize that you yourself are a bad example of your religion, you're pushing people away when you should be inviting them with love. You don't win believers by telling them they will go to hell if they don't believe, you win believers by giving them a good example of what life will be like if they accept Christ and lives honest and just lives. Honest and just....these are traits that you yourself should learn to adhere to....You are not entirely honest with yourself if you believe yoursaelf to be perfect enough to judge the fate of others, you believe that heaven is an exclusive club where only members of your church will be welcome, this is also dishonest and disgusting. You are extremely unjust in making your unjust accusations against others and unjustly damning people who merely disagree with you to hell. You wonder why your church is so small? There are many many many other churches that are much larger with a message that makes sense.
