when was the last time you saw a Christian preacher with bombs strapped to his body????

its mostly the angry young men, not the preachers what do this (preachers are too smart and cowardly to risk their lives) – and in our country the Christian preachers taught the lads to leave the bomb behind rather than blow themselves up as well, that way they can be ready to build the next one.

we actually had 30 years of war and 3000 dead from religious violence between two Christian sects in the UK, in my living memory, funded in part by Christian Americans, and the conflict is actually still simmering.

Yes our pastor has tatts and piercings!

I’m wondering why you highlight this?

isnt it all just the same stuff but re-branded and re-packaged to try and appeal to a difference audience / sub culture ?

is god and jesus now a trendy accessory?

i thought the same.

i think the vast majority of the people on this site are very open minded and are very much aware that sterotypes arent correct.

it doesnt ‘shock’ me, or change my opinions, that he is a christian with tatoos.

I brought that up because of someone saying that the closest thing you have in the UK is Quakers. For some reason some of you seemed to see me as a preacher in a fancy cathedral! Just wanted to dispel that notion…..and it is the Underground Church – for those who do not feel welcome in mainstream churches.

sorry I phrased it that way…..over here everyone is equating the Fundamental Christians with radical Islam!!!!! I am truly sorry I lumped y’all in with that, pls forgive me. And the violence in Ireland is WRONG – period. Jesus NEVER meant for His followers to kill each other!

That statement was just a retort to that post about stereotypes of Fundamental Christians……sorry I misspoke.:cry:

my mums mates are quakers and I cant imagine they are anything like your church TBH, and I can imagine her not agreeing with all this hell and damnation stuff….
from my experience they are quiet and reflective and acknowledge their beliefs are not the only way, they meet in the ‘friends meeting’ place – so again not some fancy church or cathederal

Quote:

Quakers share a way of life rather than a set of

beliefs. Quakers seek to experience God directly, within

ourselves and in our relationships with others and the world

around us. We meet together for silent worship in local

meetings which are open to all.

The Quaker way has its roots in Christianity and finds

inspiration in the Bible and the life and teachings of Jesus.

Quakers also find meaning and value in the teachings of

other faiths; we acknowledge that ours is not the only way.

Our focus is on our experience rather than written

statements of belief. Our sense of community does not

depend on professing identical beliefs, but from worshipping,

sharing and working together.

Our Quaker faith springs from the experience that

each one of us can have a direct relationship with the

Divine.

We find that by meeting together for communal worship we

are empowered to find peace and strength for work in the

world.The Quaker testimonies to peace, equality, simplicity

and truth are a challenge to alleviate suffering and seek

positive social change.

Ok, this is quite a long list, so please be patient with me! :love:

1. God is satisfied with his works this is BEFORE the fall, on day 6
Gen 1:31

God is dissatisfied with his works. this is AFTER the fall, when men were evil
Gen 6:6

2. God dwells in chosen temples He CHOSE to dwell in the Temple at that particular time
2 Chron 7:12,16

God dwells not in temples He dwells in heaven
Acts 7:48

3. God dwells in light He IS light
1 Tim 6:16

God dwells in darkness He may cover Himself with darkness, but His light shines
1 Kings 8:12/ Ps 18:11/ Ps 97:2 through…….He is in dark AND bright

4. God is seen and heard He covers Moses’ face and all Moses can see is His back
Ex 33:23/ Ex 33:11/ Gen 3:9,10/ Gen 32:30/ Is 6:1/ Adam saw Him before the fall…was seen
Ex 24:9-11 in the form of man or in a vision..seen by
the Elders of Israel only

God is invisible and cannot be heard speaking to the people who were in rebellion
John 1:18/ John 5:37/ Ex 33:20/ 1 Tim 6:16 men cannot see God in His true form as He
really is
5. God is tired and rests He just STOPPED, not because He was tired
Ex 31:17

God is never tired and never rests
Is 40:28

6. God is everywhere present, sees and knows all things
Prov 15:3/ Ps 139:7-10/ Job 34:22,21

God is not everywhere present, neither sees nor knows all He was able to see the tower and
things knew about it, knew about Sodom &
Gen 11:5/ Gen 18:20,21/ Gen 3:8 Gomorrah,about what Adam had done, was
going down to deal with them, not to
find out what happened

7. God knows the hearts of men
Acts 1:24/ Ps 139:2,3

God tries men to find out what is in their heart so that MEN can see it, God is testing them
Deut 13:3/ Deut 8:2/ Gen 22:12 to prove they are faithful

8. God is all powerful
Jer 32:27/ Matt 19:26

God is not all powerful not toally clear in this passage….perhaps the men
Judg 1:19 were relying on weapons more than on God?

9. God is unchangeable
James 1:17/ Mal 3:6/ Ezek 24:14/ Num 23:19

God is changeable God was grieved that men had become
Gen 6:6/ Jonah 3:10/ 1 Sam 2:30,31/ 2 Kings 20:1,4,5,6/ so evil, Noah influenced Him to
Ex 33:1,3,17,14 change His mind….the people
repented, fasted and prayed…the
people ignored Him…the people had
changed not God…Moses intervened…
Hezekiah repented

10. God is just and impartial
Ps 92:15/ Gen 18:25/ Deut 32:4/ Rom 2:11/ Ezek 18:25

God is unjust and partial saw Noah naked…..God will not put up Gen 9:25/ Ex 20:5/ Rom 9:11-13/ Matt 13:12 with false idols…see Romans 9:14…
John the Baptist was martyred…how is this showing God is changeable?

some of these Scriptures are taken out of context…if you simply read on the answer becomes clear…as in Romans 9:11-14

I will have page 2 (of 15) later……

Hey I am trying! :crazy::crazy_diz:weee:

Do they have any Evangelical churches over there – in other words very informal, no rituals, just freestyle worship?????
yes. the Society of Friends, otherwise known as Quakers. They tend to be a bit more subtle in their approach…

omg did you hear george carlin was in hell from that fucking asshole from westboro baptist church????!!!!!!!!! (FRED PHELPS IS GOING TO HELL)

Fred Phelps and his family are the only ones going to hell. USA christianity uses the most cripling emotion to push their believes onto others, FEAR.

WTF are the chances of you getting the correct religion? even the correct type of christianity!!

if you do not know of the westboro baptist church you will have alot of fun watching their videos on youtube. GOING OUTSIDE DEAD SOLIDERS FUNERALS AND PROTESTING WITH 5 YEAR OLDS WITH BANNERS SAYING ‘GOD HATES FAGS’ and other horrible things.

watch the westboro baptist church on Jeremy Kyle!! classic!
also Keith Allen owns them aswell!
