These are not Christian Churches; they are heretical sects. Many of their heresies are being repeated upon these boards today. If the Church does not enforce scriptural and doctrinal purity, then we are going to wind up with thousands of differing churches, each proclaiming a gospel often in opposition to another.

Is the GOD you worship different than mine? The Son of my GOD can kill with a word, or look from his eyes. My GOD can sort it out. The indwelling HOLY SPIRIT is not to be trifled with either.

Also, GOD has given us the SCRIPTURES to serve as a guide.

Only Satan wins; Christianity loses and so do all those poor bastards whose ears are ringing from the din.

Who is doing Satan's work. Those seeking a better understanding of SCRIPTURE, a fuller relationship with our LORD, or those that would put them to death for the sake of their exclusive view of doctrinal purity. The latter group sure looks like the Islamists today doesn't it.

You might want to give to yourself a deeper understanding of the role and the responsibility of the Church.

I’ve been through the whole business of “may God strike me dead if I’m wrong and God hasn’t struck me dead yet so therefore I am of and with God and you had better agree with me because God is backing me.”

These folks were not, at least not the leaders, seeking greater understanding. They were seeking power. The quest for spiritual understanding was the excuse.
