Perhaps it makes one 'special' as if they are 'in the know' or 'have the inside scoop'?
i am not trying to be mean here but has anyone else noticed thsat these types often have the following in common
- they think joyce meyer is evil
- they say KJV is only valid translation out there
-they often type their Facebook posts in CAPITALS , LIKE THIS, AS THOUGH THEY ARE SHOUTING!
- they KNOW the pope is the antichrist. or obama.
- they believe in sinless perfection of at the least works based salvation
-
- they rarely talk about the positive side of the gospel. all about sin hell etc (i know these are neccessary parts of the gospel bu tthey balanced too far in that direction
- they believe everything is the Jews fault. yeah they even believe ashkenazi jews are the false jews Jesus warned of.
- even though the Bible says the earth is the Lord's and everything in it they believe satan controls the world. they place more emphasis on satan than they do on God
- they think fallen angels are waiting to drag us to Hell, wven those of us who are saved and continuing in the faith
- they seem to be a bit paranoid and obsessive
- they hate all liberals, left wingers. apparently left wingers are the antichrist. if they are the ones who dont believe it is the Pop- most of them do
- they tend not to have many other interests in life. you ask them abou ttheir hobbies, pets, chiildren etc and they come back with"we are fighting aspiritual war. how unspiritual to have time to do those things." (not that am saying we should waste time. we should be apssionate about Jesus. but they never seem to need any "me time" whatsoever. makes ordinary crappy christians like me feel very inadequate for daring to read a novel or go to the theatre occasionallly!)
- they sem to live in fear. this one actually makes me feel quite sad, actually. i know what that feels like even ifmy reasons were/are different.
