That's good news for Harry Krause, isn't it. The fear and intimidation
you suffer at the prospect of being asked to consider a moral, ethical,
and religious life must have you shakin in your boots
except, of course, the s. baptists have never come close to living a
moral ethical and religious life. the church was founded as a
proslavery church in 1845 and has opposed freedom for anyone ever
since...in the name of god. it's also america's leading pro-
creationism church
IOW it's wrong about everything.
An absolutely backwards "bunch" of religious zealots, doing "the devil's
work" wherever it can. That floridajim believes they're moral and
ethical says even more about him than it does about the white southern
baptists.
What about the Black Southern Baptists, Harry? *There's lots of them.
Different organization.
nope.
Yup.

Nope.

and what do you think is the objective of a Southern Baptist
"Missionary" Hospital?

Proselytizing.

"Proselytizing.?"

Surely you can do better than that, Harry.

I'd say it never occurred to you that the Christian (Catholic and
Protestant) Churches main mission is to do the will of Jesus.

James 2:14 Dear brothers, what's the use of saying that you have
faith and are Christians if you aren't proving it by helping others?
Will that kind of faith save anyone?

James 2:15 If you have a friend who is in need of food and
clothing, and you say to him, "Well, good-bye and God bless you;
stay warm and eat hearty," and then don't give him clothes or food,
what good does that do?

James 2:17 So you see, it isn't enough just to have faith. You must
also do good to prove that you have it. Faith that doesn't show itself
by good works is no faith at all--it is dead and useless.

James 2:20 Fool! When will you ever learn that "believing" is useless
without doing what God wants you to? Faith that does not result in
good deeds is not real faith.


Just a few of the references Harry. But I don't expect you to believe
any of it. It's not your nature.


WTF do any of the above quotes have to do with missionary work or
proselytizing on behalf of Christianity?

It's an endeavor that seeks to enrich the organization more than
spreading Jesus' teachings. You're supposed to live and be guided by
his spirit, not try to sell his way.

Anyone who has a beef with unions trying to enrich their organizations
should have a major problem with missionaries.

Bunch of whoey.

My favorite is the missionaries who hunted aboriginals with the aim of
converting them just before putting them to death in order to send
them onto Jesus.

****ing insanity that continues today in a somewhat benign manner.
