"Christianity" in America

[kudzu]

You mean like the millions upon millions of social welfare freeloaders that, thanks to the tax code, live off the rest of us for nothing?

Christianity underwent a lot of changes during the Depression and the Dust Bowl with a growing emphasis on the Scofield heresy... followed by the founding of the Dallas Theological Seminary. Graham followed that trend.

It got another boost in the early 1970s with the publication of Late Great Planet Earth.

No it didn't. Jesus' teachings, on which Christianity is based, is the same today, yesterday, and for the ages (Hebrews 13:8). It's the people that changed not the Word.

You do know that Hebrews was a letter written TO the Hebrews, don't you?

No.. Even mainline Protestant and Catholic churches have taken up the Scofield heresy and sadly most don't have a clue.. These days they don't reference Scofield in the credits.

Doesn't change that the principle applies to more than just the Hebrews. I bet you didn't know that?

Based on your minsdet, a Supreme Court decision only applies to those that brought the case.

I think he was at heart an opportunist......

Well, he was a piker compared to today's TV evangelists/mega-church-creating ringmasters. At least Billy *did* do some actual missionary work in actual overseas places.

Missionary work -- there's a topic for a whole new discussion on Christianity and religions in general.

Good point

Good point

Based on kudzu's mindset, every same sex couple would have to take their case to Court.

Dispensationalism is merely a perspective on end times- a pre tribulist teaching, pre- millennial teaching on end times. I agree it’s incorrect, but they, its adherents, are in unity on the trinity, and the saving work of Christ. ( by the way, there exists 3 perspectives on end times) Just because Billy Graham subscribed to pre tribulation, means nothing against his character as a Christian.

Actually what is moronic is that there is NO death penalty for homosexuals in the Koran.

You've read it?

Paul wrote to the Hebrew believers.

Zappacrite, the fatsocrite, actually thinks he can claim this post does not mean he said the guy in the OP did his horrible acts on God's name.

Did I refer to the Priest in the OP ANYWHERE in my explanation?

NO.

I referred only to "sickos".

But of course YoYo is allowed to make up whatever nonsense he likes and once he has, it becomes "fact".

 

[zappasguitar]

It's how some talk about Hispanics, blacks and Muslims.

Oh now that's not fair.

Pointing out how it's done every day and he says nothing.

 

[zappasguitar]

I'm not all the familiar with the prosperity gospel but am I mistaken in my understanding that it came about as a way to reach a new audience? Or basically Christianity had slow growth in this country and this was a way to reach out to new people.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Contemporary Americans can't seem to find the time to worship GOD unless there's a little something in it for them.

???.....do you believe that makes some sort of difference?.....

 

[zappasguitar]

I'm guessing it's a send-up pitched to people who start threads about Muslims who commit crimes and say the religion is to blame.

DING DING DING!!

We have a WINNER!!

 

[zappasguitar]

Is that what he said? He expressly stated HIS reason for the quotes and you still ha e to guess?

Is there any length you won't go to in order to not criticize some you politically agree with?

Comey on Christiekins, you can do better.

And right on cue when he doesn't get the answer he likes, here come the petty taunts.

Paul wrote to the Hebrew believers.

Exactly.. Even Revelation tells you who the letter is written to......

DING DING DING!!

Way to stand up for Islam. So this guy's actions is the equivalent to ISIS and Al-queda. Christianity has been taken over by extremist because this guy best his wife. Excellent analogy

If it's one thing you don't do Zap is petty taunts.

You've read it?

Yes. I lived in the Arab world for quite a while so I needed to understand what they believe... and Islam is not monolithic.. anymore than Christianity or Judaism is monolithic.
