I haven’t been to a Baptist church, but have attended an Alliance Church (one OT readings and poor preaching) and a Lutheran Church — again I think it was just one reading.


Since you’re judging all Baptist churches based upon your experience with a non-Baptist “protestant” church is it fair if we judge all Catholic Priests based on the behavior of a few corrupt Catholic Priests?

I don’t think Salvation was judging all baptist churches. I think Salvation was just explaining the background behind the remark. In like manner, I can’t say how much scripture a Catholic hears during mass since I haven’t been to one. I also can’t speak for all baptist churches since there are probably 75K plus in the USA alone. I can only share what I’ve seen.

Either way, I’d hope we all read God’s Word outside of church. It is God’s written revelation of who He is to mankind. If we don’t want to know God in this life, why would we want to go to heaven in the next? If we don’t love Him now, why would we want to be with Him in the next?

I specifically said I wasn’t judging a Baptist Church since I had not attended one. Sorry that it was misinterpreted.
