The story of John Newton is such an inspiration. All that care should look it up, it's worth the trouble.[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]

As screwed up as the Methodist Church is these days, that's a compliment. BTW I was raised in the Methodist Church, and it went off the deep end years ago.

If you find a church you are more in line with, I'd say go. Mostly, go.

Do you regular church folk find it necessary to put up with the horescrap that goes hand in hand with organized religion to get to Heaven? can't a man/woman have a relationship with the big Man and his Daddy without assembly?

Relationships are all we take out of here, no worldy good, no U-Haul in a funeral procession.

A relationship with the Lord is the key. Thru that relationship,we have relationship with fellow believers and that's the church, not a building or organization.

It's when man wants to control things, (man's natural instinct), that things get messed up.

Selfless humility is a rare commodity.

In regards to my heart troubles, my doctor said, the people with symptoms are lucky. The same may apply to the soul.

Viking warriors who died bravely would be carried by the Valkyries to Valhalla and be welcomed to the afterlife by
Odin, with whom they would feast every night.

Those that simply died of sickness and old age went to Hel.

and how he kept it on the Galilean frontier.

He would be a straight up "bad dude" a force to be reckoned with..

the Empire would never have reached the level it did.
They were largely seen as 'babarians' by the Roman elite,
but were far too proven capable fighters to pass up.

Fortunately what some random minister thinks doesn't matter. There's one on TV that implies I am going to hell because I won't send him $1,000.



If you believe the scriptures, it's Peter, the right hand man of The Son of God, the first Pope, The Rock upon which the church was build. He hit exactly where he aimed.

So say the Catholics but not the Bible.


I'll give you that, but I was responding to Nighthawk, who is Catholic. wink

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

I suspect that particular "minister" traded his Christianity to become a social justice warrior instead.

I was raised in the Methodist church (before and after 1968). During Desert Shield I was a Captain in the USAR. Our pastor at a large UMC church holds up a Newsweek and starts spouting off about our soldiers being murderers. Needless to say I'm not Methodist anymore. My middle sister is and tells me about some of her pastor's stupidity and I just tell her to leave because it is a lost cause.

Who found the response entertaining. We follow the Father who has quite a sense of humor, consider all the funny looking people He made. Just Google "people of walmart".

I'm thinking Satan may have had his way with some of them, granted, they were born equal.

Yep, we all fall short, which includes unbelief, which after time morphs into knowing.

I dont know about that. I doubt HE was lying when HE said to provide for you and yours or HE didnt know you, being worse than an unbeliever, and when HE said there will be a great gnashing of teeth. A whole lot of people smugly accept HEs referring to those who dont believe that JESUS was the son of GOD.

Those who blithely follow the teachings of men in church and add to or subtract from HIS word may find themselves gnashing teeth.

Oh lighten up, it's a joke. Christians are supposed to be joyful.
