    What makes a church Fundamentalist?

    I have no idea how fundamentalist Catholics are handling having this current atheist-friendly pope as their church's leader! When a left-wing atheist newspaper paints Pope Francis in a positive light eyebrows should be raised. The war against Pope Francis

As a result they are way more likely to live their faith than "intellectual belief only" believers. Jesus condemned the Laodicean church for being lukewarm. Bible Gateway passage: Revelation...

Quite a while back my pastor said once that although our church is IFB we are more interested in keeping to the bible, not church made rules and so are not as fundamentalist as some. I also heard some...

    Do you expect an apology from your spouse?
