Yeah, that's kind of my take on it, too.

Personally, I think there needs to be two sub forums: Whackjob Christians and Non Whackjob Christians.
And I am fairly certain that Jesus reads some of these post and thinks .... Read John 3:36, Read Matthew 25:31-46.

It use to be a good place and fun to interact with other Christians and learn ! Even with the non-believers that came here..... But now....
Thank you, CAHomeschoolMom, for being a part of God's plan and your testimony of God's truth and love.... I see the Spirit of God in all that you post !!!

Keep the faith and your sanity --- There are a lot of solid folks out here seeking to add Christ's light to all the dark and crazy perceptions of the world.
Amen... Thank you, Lord ! That He does have His people here rebuking the error of false teachings and giving and showing people the hope that is in Christ Jesus, amen !!

This from one who is a Presbyterian at heart, but finds himself attending an Assembly of God church.
Amen to the bold it has taught me a lot about false truth and how false teacher's work their plan and plan their work !

That's the problem with these individuals they really don't act nor believe God sees, hears all things ! There is no respect, love, honor for God !! Yet, one day they'll get it and that is a for sure thing !!

" I can see these guys practically licking their chops" LOL

I can picture Christ saying " guys, what about what i accomplished at the cross, isnt that enough for you? i sure was enough for my Father"
