I've always been associated with them but now it's just my family.
I'm an Independent Fundamental Baptist.

Have you read, The Trail of Blood, by J. M. Carroll?

I'm familiar with the GARBC. But I am Calvinistic in sin and grace. Amillennial in Eschatology.

Would you spend the night in a church alone for $100.00?
I would, would you?

*Tigger’s trying to figure out where this is going* :scratch:

Some people are petrified at the thought of staying inside a church building alone at night. Others take it with a grain of salt.

So Jesus never talks to you through the Holy Ghost
like He did from heaven to them in the early church?
Scripture replaces that. Today people hear voices in their heads and think it is God but scripture rules this out.

That ended in AD 96 with the completion of the Scriptures.

Churches are people, not buildings.




Then how do you tell the male churches from the female churches?






I know and I thought that I was crazy,... I would make a horrible Ghostbusters but there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that chickens would treat me like one of their own.

I’m guessing the fear of sleeping in a church at night would probably be higher in more traditional churches. Maybe it’s the statues.

Then how do you explain the scripture that says my sheep hear my voice and another they will not follow?
Scripture is Jesus speaking. You cannot understand it unless Christ reveals it.

Yeah, especially the angel statues. You can't turn away from them. You can't even blink.

The Church, collectively speaking, is considered the Bride of Christ.

We believers are in an espousal relationship with Jesus.

2 Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

Israel is considered to be God's [estranged?] wife.
