According to one of the members on this board - Christians are nothing but terrorists.
kkawohl writes
Terrorism has many forms. Many people nowadays refer to terrorism as being perpetrated mostly by Muslim radicals without realizing that a form of terrorism that is thrust upon our susceptible youth today by fundamentalist Christians is much more damaging psychologically to them then if they witnessed an actual act of terrorism or an execution. The psychological wounds that they inflict are carried by many throughout their entire lives. These youths are indoctrinated toward a biased thought process that eliminates open communications amongst religions.
Christians who preach and promote, “Unless you become a Christian, you will burn in hell. Your soul will not be with God unless you become a Christian. Repent and be a Christian or the devil will get you”, or many of the biblical phrases attributed toward punishment unless you become a Christian, should be labeled as being prejudiced religious terrorists
I would like to know where in the Bible is the manual for terrorism?
Specifically, what Book, chapter and verses explain to me how to make a pipe bomb?
Which verses teach me to strap a bomb belt around my waist and blow up a bus?

Is it possibly in the original languages of this verse?
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light (Matt. 11:28)

Maybe here?
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God" (John 3:16-18)

Does this verse strike you with terror, kkawohl?
"Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water" John 4:10)

“Unless you become a Christian, you will burn in hell.
Your soul will not be with God unless you become a Christian.
Repent and be a Christian or the devil will get you”
Please enlighten me, Kurt?
I am searching my Bible AND my concordance to find these verses?
Where are they?
It is my understanding that Jesus went to hell for me so that I don't have to go.

Why must you misrepresent the Christian message, kkawohl?
Jesus took the anger and wrath of God in my place so that I would not have to.
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life
Now, I will grant you this. Those that call themselves Christians but teach that salvation is only a temporary thing that isn't settled - do contribute to the confusion of religion.
But you can not blame Jesus Christ for that?
He came to set it all right.
How many babies did He blow up?

hey nic question -- today if someone isn't a Christian - do we kill them? do we maim them? one other question -- if someone isn't a Christian (not sure if the Jews believe in hell but i know they believe in God so...) then what do they care about hell? if they don't believe in the glory that is through CHrist - why would they believe in the "anti glory"?
so do all denominations "religions" believe in hell and not always hand in hand in relatiobship with Christ/God? I mean - can someone believe in hell and not heaven?

I mean - can someone believe in hell and not heaven? We certaintly do not kill or main unbelievers - contrary to popular belief - but we do offend them occasionally. Hey, the Gospel offends. The Cross offends. Usually, people don't have a problem believing in heaven, but they tend to want to change the parameters of hell. Because folks do not want to except that it is for ever and for ever (Rev. 20:10) - they like to say that it either doesn't exist at all, or is annihilation, or is temporary.

Your soul will not be with God unless you become a Christian. Repent and be a Christian or the devil will get you”, ... i thought - wait if these people aren't Christians - what are they doing believeing in hell. thanks! have a great morning!

Actually I was quoting from kkawohl's remarks. Those were not from me.
