Your opinion of Baptists

[The Nuclear Fist]

Huh?

alot Of baptist people are black and some people are raciest Thats As Easy As I Can Put It For You

English isn't your first language, is it?

[Nordengrund]

In my assessment of the protestant spectrum, Baptists were more crazy than the Lutherans, Methodists, and Presbyterians, but less crazy than Pentecostals.

Baptists themselves can be different depending on sects, are you a "let's sing 20 songs about Jesus" Baptist or a "women who wear denim jeans will go to hell" Baptist?

I am a regular Baptist, but I live in the Bible Belt. I do not think any Christian group will go to Hell as long as they are saved and live like a Christian (with the exception of Jehova Witnesses.)

Can I ask why? Also, I was raised Catholic and they thought protestants would be saved but Mormons and Jehova's Witnesses would go to hell.

Baptists are one of the more fanatic examples of the Masochistic Death Cult commonly referred to as Christianity. As one might imagine, I am not too fond of them.

No Its Cause Alot (Not All) Of Baptists Are Black And People And Racist and Its Unfair I Know But Thats Why I give a Hand To People Who Stick Up For Whats Right

I am a Caucasian and I laid- back Baptist.

I Said alot not all and I Have a Story:
My Dad One Dad "Jewish" Went To a Baptist church with his new stepfather (Who Is Black) Cause the family was busy and that was were he needed to go and a kid came up to my dad (He Was A Kid At The Time) and said "this aint no white mans church" Later The Stepfather did convert to Jewish Religion to Please His Mom

It is because the Witnesses believe that the Holy Trinity is three different Gods instead of one. They are polytheists.

Their Bible: In the beginning, there was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a God.

Oookay ... Why are you capitalizing some many words? It's not cute.

It Satisfies My ODD

[Miss Defied]

Baptists most certainly DO try practice conversion techiques. When my sister was "born again" and belonged to a baptist church, she was always sending her kids out "soul winning" which involded banging on people's doors a la the Mormons.

why Dosen't anyone Respond To The Hard Questions This Is What It's About...

Um.... What is the Hard Question here? This?

What is your opinion of the Baptists?

Not really Hard but ok...
My opinion is not so great. I find their recruiting methods coercive. Their insinuation into every detail of members lives is shocking. As I said before they take a very literal interpretation of the bible which I find silly. Women are often encouraged to be mindless, opinionless baby making machines.
Now thats just what I've seen based on observing Baptists in my circles and neck of the woods.
If the OP is happy, that's all that matters.

the "Hard Question" there Was Yous Was It ethical For Her To Do That And I Think a Normal Person Would Say No

Well, I do not know of any Baptists who go from door- to- door like Jehova Witnesses to convert people, and I can see your point about the women. Though I do not necessarily agree with it, I believe women should be quiet when in church because that is what the Bibles says and I read it myself.

Oh dear. That. . . well, that's certainly something, that is.

Women Can Speak In Church and At That Time It Was Thought that A Women With a Mind Isn't A Good Thing and Im Sorry But Christians Dont go Door to Door Converting People Anymore More

[Chetssaland]

Also, remember this?

I shall look that up. I am not calling you a liar, I just want to see for myself.

Baptists tend to take a very strict and literal interpretation of the bible.

Yes, so you better kill all the non-Christians (Deuteronomy 17: 2-7)
And make sure you don't allow blind or lame people in church (Leviticus 21: 17-18)
And NEVER wear clothing made out of linen and wool (Leviticus 19:19)
It should go without saying that those who touch Mt. Sinai will be put to death (Exodus 19:13)
Obviously you must kill a woman who isn't a virgin on the day of her wedding (Deuteronomy 22: 13-21)
And speaking of killing, kill children who don't listen to their parents (Deuteronomy 21:18-21)
And of course kill anyone that works on Sunday (Numbers 15:32-56)

Isn't the Bible beautiful?

Actually, I really only follow the New Testament.

[Norstal]

I can't say I have much of one, knowing neither anything about that sect of Christianity nor any Baptists personally. I guess they probably like Jesus.

You know how we Christians tend to always try to convert people like you? Well the Baptists are the ones who are the least concerned about converting people and practically keep to themselves, yet their are one of the Christian groups who are persecuted the most. Perhaps it is because of our interference in politics.

Yeah, how is it possible that Baptist churches like the Westboro Baptist Church be hated so much.

Geez. I wonder. How IS it possible for churches like that to attract so much attention when they did absolutely fuck all?

BUZZKILL Anyway The Bible Needs To Not Be Taken As Given But Try To Grasp The Knowledge From Your Inner Complex And Why I Am a Devout Christian Stands Strong And The Old Testament Is Something That I Read But Take As Something From Your Heart A Lesson Like Storys I Read The Old Testament sometimes Just for My Own Pleasure

Well considering the Bible, the holy book of Christianity, contains the Old and New, I'd say it's a package. Most modern Christians do ignore all the bad PR parts of the book though. Except for the part about gay marriage. THAT'S the one rule in the Old Testament that's true.

The Catholic Church=/=Jehova Witnesses. We don't really try to convert people anymore (however, the Church does try to negotiate with Orthodox Patriarchs and Anglican Bishops in order to bring them back to the Church).

So those Baptist and Catholic missionaries are there for...?

Where does it say in gay marriage?
