Which Bible verses do Fundementalists hate the most?

[mzn11]

I always wondered which Bible verses fundementalists must hate the most. I would consider myself to be an orthodox Christian (for example, I believe that homosexuality is wrong), but righ-wing televangelists like Pat Robertson completely miss the point of Jesus' teachings. These seem to me Bible verses they would never quote:

"38"You have heard that it was said, `An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' 39But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; 40and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; 41and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you." Matthew 5:38-42

"24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Matthew 19:24


"26For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead." James 2:26

and of course, the story of Jesus saving the adulterous woman, and parable of the Pharisee and tax collector.

As a fundamentalist, I can say that there is not one verse that I hate.

Although...there are a few that I am constantly asking God, "Did you really have to include that one?"

Why would I as a Christian hate any of God's instructions to me?

For petes sakes. It was a joke.

I don't know of any Scriptures that Pat Robertson finds disagreeable, but I was listening to his show one day and he mentioned his disdain for some of the words to Martin Luther's, "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" (particularly lines like "the body they may kill, God's truth abideth still"). He seemed to feel these kind of words were heretical and did harm to the body of Christ. I'm not sure why he thought that, but I am sure I disagree with him.

How do "fundamentalists" view revelation ?
Who is the mother and here harlots ? What is the beast on which she sits.

A loaded question if I've ever heard one..... It's like asking someone, "When did you stop beating your wife?"

Thanks, but I'll pass.

I always thought the "faith without works is dead" passage at the end of the second chapter in the Letter of St. James rattled the fundamentalists that I talked to.

Please give your definition of a fundamentalist.

 

[JeffreyLloyd]

John 6:55?

Or all of John 6 for that matter... maybe even the book of James.

 

[Bizzlebin Imperatoris]

Please give the definition of a fundamentalist!

 

[@@Paul@@]

Hosea 2:19?

 

[LordsRanger]

Please give the definition of a fundamentalist!

Islamic Jihadites and other radical religious disciplines are examples of fundamentalism.

If you are asking about the root of the word, well, here is the accurate definition in the context of what we are talking about:

Hope that helps.

I'm a fundamentalist and I hate nothing in the Bible. Sorry to disappoint!

John 6:55?

Seeing your icon, you must be either playing off of the fish Christian symbol.....or, sad at Trey's most recent announcement.

Just noting the icon, from a Christian "deadhead."....if there is such a thing!

I am sad at Trey's most recent announcement.
Good guess!!
Hey, if you dont know, Phish is in a battle of the bands right now in the secular music forum, they could sure use your vote~!!

I love the Dead, I've liked them since I was 12...not a deadhead though, I dont know enough of their stuff. But I consider myself a Phishhead, and if there can be a Christian phishead then there certainly can be a Christian deadhead~!! Glad to find another brother who likes the same music as me, we are few and far between!!

Ok, looked through the definition of fundamentalism. Seems like they shouldn't try to interpret everything literally.
