People will \"surely be condemned as a result\" of believing in the \"watered-down gospel\"?
So, what, \"gay people go to Hell\" is as important as \"Jesus died for our sins\"?

I'm tired of the lunatic fringe calling itself \"Christian\".
Faced by a fundie's \"love\", your choices are limited to two: Hell and slavery.
I'm free to take my chances, and I'll stay that way, thanks very much. Fuck Pascal and his wager.

\"Why not preach the truth boldly, and leave the rest to the sovereign God?\"
Why not shut the heck up and leave it all to God?
\"IF WE REALLY LOVE UNBELIEVERS AS WE CLAIM TO, IS IT NOT OUR OBLIGATION TO WARN THEM ABOUT HELL?\"
If it's such an important issue, why would God leave the job to you? Can't God bring people to Christianity without the help of the likes of you?

So God is completely useless without human intervention? Funny that.

\"Biblical Fact\"? There's an oxymoron for ya.
And if your god is so powerful, why does he need you as a mouthpiece?

Since I´ve never seen a fundy preaching the Gospel AT ALL(never mention the NT),and you censor all the parts of the OT which don´t match our current mores(forbidding eating lobster, for example), it would be a good picture of you. And by the way, since 95% of the people are not going to Heaven, the notion of heaven and hell will be useless in the long run.

No, actually, among the things Jesus said that you have to do to fulfill his will, preaching about hell is not one of them. Hell is not as pivotal as you think. It´s mentioned very seldom in the NT and less seldom in the OT. And it´s always stated that it´s a kind of punishment AFTER you misbehave, not a pivotal part. It´s like saying, \"why not telling the tourists who visit the States about the death penalty?\"

But isn't everybody going to Hell according to somebody?
And please, by all means, include all the juiciest, most outrageous, most shocking parts of the Bible. It would be refreshing to hear readings from something other than the WW (WhiteWashed) Bible.

I would say 95 per cent of Christians are reasonable people, but those other 5 per cent are a real pain in the ass.

I love it!
Fundies routinely water down the parts of the New Testament in which Jesus preached against piling up wealth or the descriptions of the communistic practices of the early Christians in order to keep conservative Americans in the fold.
Why do you avoid preaching that Jesus told the rich man to sell all he owned? Why do you avoid his words about the chances of a rich man getting into heaven?

It gives me a twisted sense of satisfaction to know that I sealed the little boy's fate this time around.
Whoa, watch out for that fiery pit to your left, there, Brent! You know what happens to those Pharisees, don't you?

Well, seeing a fundie actually preach the gospels would be a neat trick, given that their knowledge consists of half of Leviticus, all the bits that deal with Hell (and there aren't that many), and a whole lot of bullshit...

\"...people we \"draw in\" will be deceived by our false gospel...\"
The above is true. Whether the teaching is forward, backward or upside down is irrelevant.

If your Gawd was as all-powerful as you think, he wouldn't need an assbite like you, Bent, to spread his message. He's more likely to hire an agent and mount a PR campaign than to rely on the sort of lunatics that scream Bibble verses on streetcorners.

I think 95% of Christians (or whatever) water down the gospel because deep down they realize how utterly ridiculous it is but still succumbs to mob mentality.

Go for it.
When those 95% get a good listen at the venom and garbage fundie twits like you call the \"true\" Biblical message, they desert the Christian faith in droves.
Well, at least the intelligent ones will.

If we water down the Gospel in order to draw people into Christianity, it won't be Christianity anymore.
Somebody should've told that to Paul of Tarsus, when he decided to do away with the old dietary and circumcision laws in order to draw in the Gentiles.
