Hey, that's pretty smart, misspelling it in case the Vatican/Pope checks this board for everyone who has seen a bible before. They'll hunt ya down if you know about it.

[Lil Red]

hahaha, you're too funny! :

[phatcatholic]

beware of the Jesuits!!!!!!!!!!

now that that's out of the way, what did the pamphlet say and we'll help you write a resonse.

[Lil Red]

okay, since i can't figure out how to attach the pamphlet, i'll just quote what it says:

[quote][b]What We Believe....[/b]

1. About the Scriptures
We recognize only the King James Bible as God's inspired, infallible Word preserved in the English language. All that we preach, teach, and practice comes from this Bible and nothing else.

[i]Psalm 12:6, 7: "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."

Matthew 4:4b: "...Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

2 Timothy 3:16, 17: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."[/i]

2. About God
We believe that God is one All-Powerful and All-Holy person in three manifestations: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, and that He is a God of both love and wrath. We recognize that Jesus Christ was God come to earth to dwell among men in the body of a man, for the purpose of dying on the cross for men's sins. In this way, the love of God was manifested  to all who will repent of sin and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their sin bearer. All who reject this free gift must suffer eternal punishment for their sins in a horrible Lake of Fire. In this way, the wrath of God will be revealed against all wickedness and unbelief.

[i]1 John 5:7: "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

Hebrews 12:29: "For our God is a consuming fire."

1 Timothy 3:16a: "And without controversy great is the mysteryof godliness: God was manifest in the flesh..."

1 Timothy 1:15: "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief."

Revelation 21:8: "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.[/i]

3. About Salvation
We believe that mankind is hopelessly lost in sin and that without salvation all men will die in their sins and go to Hell. We know that Jesus Christ died to save individulas from the penalty of sin by bearing their  sins in His body on the cross. This act provided the payment for sin and God has accepted it. This payment is the free gift of God and it can only be obtained by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and by your acceptance of Him as personal Savior. No amount of good works, church membership, baptism, or religious exercise is sufficient to atone for sin. Only the blood of Jesus Christ can save.

[i]Titus 3:5a: "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us..."

Philippians 3:8b-9: "...and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, and be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith."

Galatians 2:16: "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."[/i][/quote]

when i got done laughing my a** off when i received the pamphlet, i though it would be nice to write a response and include a pamphlet of my own for my church :

[EcceNovaFacioOmni]

I'de like to know why the KJV is the only authentic rendering of God's word in English.

[Jake Huether]

It looks like they also embrace the oneness doctrine, rejecting the Trinity.

It seems as though they believe that Jesus was a body for God while on earth... just a glass for the water, so-to-speak.

Sometimes the best thing to do is just pray.

There is so much confusion, it's hard to tell what they believe, so it's hard to start out with something solid to write about.

I'd just forward them some Catholic material... Not necessarily a rebuttle of their errors.

God bless.
