1 | Prove all things hold fast to the good.. | 1 Cor 15:1 | goodnewsminister | 86025 | ||
My friend, You are mistaken. I am NOT a Jehovah's Witness and nor do I preach their gospel, which limits the love of God much as does your own form of the 'gospel', the only difference between JW's and Churchianity- all the other nominal churches such as Baptist, Methodists, etc...is that they- like you- use FEAR to gain converts. Most churches use FEAR of eternal torment to gain converts, and they use FEAR of eternal DEATH as their way of coverting people, both of which produce tare-Christians, or false Christians, as they serve God out of FEAR and not out of LOVE for Him. I have NOT been using the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures either, but primarly the Amplified Bible- as it brings out the full meaning hidden in the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures. May the Lord bless you today and always is my prayer for you. Christian Love, The Good News Minister |

2 | Prove all things hold fast to the good.. | 1 Cor 15:1 | Hank | 86029 | ||
Good News Minister: As a member of a Southern Baptist Convention church, I take vigorous issue with many of the statments in your Post ID #86025, which are both erroneous and offensive. You list Baptist churches as being among what you call "nominal" churches. You accuse them of using fear to gain converts and further insult them by saying that their methods produce false Christians. Just who do you think you are, and who granted you the wisdom and authority to judge? Prove your points if you can. Show chapter and verse. This kind of lambaste is unconscionable and insulting to me, to the church I belong to, and to other Christians on this forum. I tell you frankly, knock it off or face abuse reports. --Hank | ||||||

Hank, it's Colin. I read the Forum from time-to-time but rarely want to contribute. In this case, however... I met 2 former WCG people. Their church busted up a few years ago because someone in authority finally had the guts to question Armstrong's tweaked-out doctrine and actually go read the bible. These 2 people gave me a book by the son of the last WCG Big Kahuna (post Armstrong), which described his father's awakening to the Gospel truth and the resultant, explosive breakup of the WCG. It was a nasty ride all the way: name-calling, threats, tears and the like, but the Holy Spirit brought a lot of people out of there. I don't think this goodnewsminister guy is a remnant of the WCG fanatical faithful, but he has a definite JW style, anti-hell jones working on him big-time. For most cults, and religion in general (Islam excepted here), hell takes a holiday so that Jesus can be demoted from the Son of God to a man, "a" god, an angel, a prophet or some post-facto allegorical device. Without hell you can deny the cross and call Jesus whatever you will. All religions do this to Him (Mohammed even said if you don't, you WILL go to hell!); and all religions suppress God's central work in unrighteousness: that Jesus died, in large measure, to save us from the wrath to come: 1 Th 1:10)...and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come. (NASB). There's been a lot of trash-talk in here lately |
