An odd website...

I found this "church" website, I won't mention the name b/c im not 100% sure on the policy for this forum about links n such, but it was very disturbing. They sell stickers, t-shirts,other clothing, posters etc, that use ALOT of vulgarity and straight-forwardness. All the things they were saying WERE in fact true but very lude. Don't get me wrong, about 90% of the sins Jesus died for were probably mine, but this is even beyond what I would find humorous.

(Another thing is they were pointing out the sinful nature in recent "Veggie Tales" toddler toys that came out, that only an adults perverted nature would see, but protesting them saying that we shouldn't give kids these kinda toys. I very, highly doubt my son would even THINK of this kinda toy in a perverted way until he got alot older and the last of his worries will be playing with an old toy that resembled something perverted .)

Is there anything in the bible suggesting how God's Word is supposed to taught? Or is it just any way you can get the word out? This is 1/2 completed b/c my 1 yr. old son is trying to help me type. But if I remember anymore I was gonna ask, I'll add new posts. Thanks

~God Bless!!~

Edit:The more I read, the more I want to vomit. But I think I've heard of these people on T.V.

Yes I see what you're saying. I do not think this is some delusion they have, or think they're wrong.(This applies to different types of Christians that I don't necessarily agree with and myself). To them their hearts are for Christ, but in the same instance, they're adding fuel to the WRONG fire if you get what I'm saying by selling the same things they're lashing out aginst. They have book burnings of Harry Potter, but support preaching on an online game based on the same genre. (Sorcerers, Magic, Dragons, Knights, etc.)

Once I got to thinking about this, this is one of the many reasons I'm astonished people don't believe in God. I can directly relate to this. I was brought to the belief in "God" in general by means which I've recently abandoned for God Himself. Through that faith in God I came to Jesus. Once again He seems to poke me on the shoulder and say "Hey, I chose you, remember?" Very Happy

Ephesians

1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus
Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

Yea I read a little more about it from other websites and realized its a mock. I didn't know these kinds of things exist but it does not surprise me.

Do you think this kind of thing applies to Php.1:18?

Also does "pretense" mean the same thing as "pretence"?

Kinda like "subtil" and "subtle" in Gen.

Westboro Baptist Church exists solely as a money-making enterprise. A majority of its elder members are lawyers. Their protests exist such that they can rile up observers to the point that these observers assault church members, whereupon members of the church sue the offenders.

It's unlikely they even believe the nonsense they are preaching, they preach it for no other reason than that it offends people.
