Wow, Search4Truth = Self-Righteous. You seem to enjoy attacking everyone. Can I point out that with the money you use for internet access and hosting your IFB site, and the time you obviously spend on FR, YOU could sponsor another child each month and could volunteer more at your church. Then we wouldn't have to listen to you "spear" people with your NKJV bible.
So are you David Cloud? Did you know less than 1% of churches in America are Independent Fundamental Baptist and that attendance is SHRINKING! Last Split was 2004 with the "Young Fundamentalist Movement" is that right? Doesn't God bring growth to branches that bear good fruit? (Typical IFB Church anywhere USA. looks so attractive eh?)
Other freepers may find it interesting since Independent Fundamental Baptists stick to KJV only, it's particularly relevant in this thread on a "gay actor" that King James was homosexual and believed in the divine right of Kings which means he only answered to God. You must feel this way?
I truly don't understand why you're berating an outstanding story of 5 missionaries who actually got outside of their 4 walls because they wanted to reach out to "sinners" who couldn't read, hear, or understand the Word of God. They were compelled, to use a line from the movie because "they're not ready for heaven and we are".
Your "preaching" has become "a noisy gong, a clanging cymbal." I agree with I'm ALL Right!. No one wants the Jesus you have. Your personality is repulsive.
"And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who practices truth comes to the Light so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God" (John 3:19-21).
I am not the Reverend Cloud. We should be so fortunate to have a Godly man such as he grace our discussion. I am a student of his.
It is certainly obvious to anyone in this discussion, who claims to name of Christ and follows the Word of God, that you loathe the Word of God. It threatens your idolatry.
You obviously think that God is found in your tender thoughts and feelings. You appear to know nothing of the Word of God. Yet you claim to be a Christian.
You obviously think that God is found in big ornate churches.
You obviously think that God is found in the popularity of the church.
I have attacked no one. I quote the Word of God and its application. If one is offended by the Word of God, then they should take that up with God. Or, as in your case, just try to slander the messenger.
Idolaters are so easily angered. All you have to do is threaten their idolatry with the Word of God and they come unglued and make personal attacks.
This thread has become a good example of how those in the darkness, love their darkness, and revile the light of the Word of God.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the Word of God made flesh. If you don't know the Word of God, you don't know the Lord.
I know what I have stated here will anger you further. As it should. It was my hope that the Word would break through your self righteous idolatry. I take comfort in knowing that the Word of God is never returned void and that the power is in the seed of the Word and not in the sower.
I have given you the Word of God, yet you still want to worship your thoughts and feelings. You obviously think God is found there. You are woefully wrong and will be condemned on the day of judgment to eternal damnation for your idolatry.
Turn from your idolatry before its too late. And submit yourself to the Word of God. Humble yourself before Christ and repent of your idolatry.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray.
