Actually, Bob - I learned heaps from reading the OT - so much so, that it convinced me to become an atheist!

Sunday School certainly NEVER taught me what I read in the OT, that's for sure!

Yes, Bob. I learned heaps from the Bible. Got thrown out of Confirmation classes because I asked to many questions the Pastor could not answer.

My father taught me to be observant and learn from everything I read. Put reality into fiction and discern what is possible and what is not.

Today I still apply this kind of thinking and questioning. Not only regarding the Bible, but to everything in our life.

American Church has serious problems. I am not surprised. There are thousands of different Churches, not only in America that have problems convincing enough people to believe that what they teach is the only truth.

Interpretation of a book written by men to control the masses. Go to Bible studies and listen to all the different interpretations, then pick your own.

Sorry Joanie, but I am partially deaf and can not hear anything on You Tube.

For the love of God, Who gave us everything that we have, the creator. A church service is uasally longer than this video, and watching a Sermon in this manor saves one the trip.

Suit yourself, you have to decide if this kind of thing is worth an hour of your time, Speaking for myself, I do it, for the love of God, I feel God deserves at least that much.

I don't go to church services either.

The man giving the sermon was quite boring. He reminded me a bit of abbott with his clicking sounds and pauses. He beat around the bush too much trying to get to his point, which incidently was a good point. I just don't need the bible to tell me what is obvious.

Baldwin: "The condition of the American Church today is EXACTLY the same as was the condition of the German and Russian Church during the rise of Adolph Hitler and Joe Stalin."

Oh brother....

Yes, I can see it, instead of jews, now it's muslims, or gays, ect. . It's still the same hate and narrow mindedness. I seen this first hand at a church I went to recently. A bishop or someone quoting "John 316" in his anti gay redoric, I didn't get the coralation, or comparison at all. Later, he babtized a baby and spoke about homosexuality when asking God to protect this child from the evils of the world,made me sick. That poor child will gorw up into a church of hate and I asked God to protect the child from that, the church's influince.
