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. |
