why is it...

let me forwarn you that this may turn out to be a rant about a couple of things...i have wanted for a long time to say the things that i am about to say...i may hurt a few people's feelings and i may just tick some people off...but i have to say this...why is it that every religion thinks their religion is the best...work with me here...for years the church of christ has been stereotyped of "you are the ones who don't have music"..yes we do we sing every time the doors are open...or "you think you are the only ones going to heaven" well unfortunately there are few of them who do truly believe that...all i have to say to that is glad you are making God's decisions...or "yall believe that you got to go all the way under the water to be saved"...well Jesus did so why don't you...He was immersed you know...that came straight from the good book...or "yall are the ones who take the Lord's Supper every Sunday"...why yes we do...anywho...on we shall go with the churches i have run into who have resorted to calling other common denominations "occults", or those who will not let you partake of the Lord's Supper, if it should be on that one particular sunday of the quarter, unless you are a member of that church, or to those churches that have a committee for forming committees...or those churches who have human leaders that they equate to the good Lord Almighty...or those who feel it is ok to drink like a fish during the week and don't mind buying their case of beer at walmart on saturday so they can drink it after the sermon on sunday...here is the bottom line...I AM SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT GOD...IF IT IS WRITTEN HE HAS TOLD YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW...IF WE SPENT HALF THE TIME WE SPEND ON FINDING FAULTS WITH OTHERS ON STUDYING THE WORD OF GOD...I WOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION....AND THIS GOES FOR ME TOO!

I connected to your blog through Dana's. I agree with your frustration. We belong to an "Independant Fundamental Baptist" church and I run into the same "you guys..." stereotypes and I am like - hey I am a christian who follows Christ through His word not through the humans who try to box God into their rules. I'd like to say back off and try to find out who God really is by studying His word yourself instead of arguing with semi correct information that you heard from someone else.
Have a Blessed Day,

The fault is in the person, not the faith. Pray that the person will live their faith to the fullest, while recognizing your faith is from God, as well. As Father Brennan used to say, we don't know who will go to Heaven, only God knows that. We should just be prayerful (or glad)that Sue is a good Baptist, Church of Christ, Lutheran, Methodist...whatever, instead of a bad Catholic."
