After reading the statement below:<BR/><BR/>"Comment moderation has been enabled. All comments must be approved by the blog author."<BR/><BR/>I wonder if censorship of the Word of God is being done so as to give a less than full exchange of views regarding what the Bible says about this subject. If you know of passages that say that we should not warn others about Hell and that we should never use fear to save them from Hell please let me know because I would really like to follow the Word of God and I am always open to hear from others who have studied it thoroughly and also wish to serve God and his Word. God exalts his word above his name.<BR/><BR/>Agape <><<BR/>Mark RouleauAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23020174.post-1162317942668219122006-10-31T13:05:00.000-05:002006-10-31T13:05:00.000-05:00A minister friend sent in this comment:Last Year a...A minister friend sent in this comment:<BR/><BR/>Last Year a Hell house came to Lafayette. I went through to see it first hand -- we recorded it so that people could hear it later.<BR/>The local Rabbi and I gathered signatures of protest from local clergy and sent a letter to the local paper and the offices of the mayors. I preached<BR/>on it, as well. They are frightening, indeed.<BR/><BR/>An added element is their open condemnation of non-Christian religion. At one point a woman runs her hand through the wet blood of Jesus and shoves it<BR/>in your face and tells you that his blood was shed to redeem you and that he is the only risen saviour and that Buddha didn't rise and Mohammed didn't<BR/>rise and the only one who can save you from hell is Jesus Christ. It <BR/>was grotesque and revolting. <BR/><BR/>They made a fortune, here. I was relieved that they did not come back this year. They were a traveling outfit that a local church contracted here.<BR/>I'd like to think that our protest discouraged them.<BR/><BR/>Last year, also, they were here during the High Holy Days and actually came on the grounds of the local Reform Temple and inside the building to leaflet. That sent us over the edge. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for writing on this. My fantasy is that progressives might <BR/>offer traveling alternatives -- saving views of the world that include religious<BR/>diversity, justice, comprehensive sexuality education (since they are so into abortion), and the like.Debra W.
