[Pulp Fiction]

There are some churches and congregations nowadays that aren't looking forward to Heaven.... they are hoping that they dodge hell.

And the sad part is.... some people actually believe that is the right. Not because they are trying to defy or rebel but because they've never been taught any different.

As The Bible tells us in 1 Peter Ch. 5 (KJV)
8 - Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.

That verse doesn't always mean violent and wicked acts and ways.

I'm not trying to bash anybody's church, that's between you and God. As a matter of fact, my church Hager Hill Freewill Baptist in Johnson County made the national news last May. It was the Sunday of Mothers Day 2012. Our pastor told our congregation or as the media called us a "flock" that he couldn't believe that President Obama supported gay marriage. He told us that we are taught that homosexuality is called an abomination in The Bible. And that's our stand. He never once said he hated the people who engage in the homosexuality lifestyle. But he couldn't believe how our Nation has accepted what God calls an abomination in His Word.

Non-Acceptance DOES NOT equal hate. If you don't like what The Bible says.... take it up with Jesus. It's His Word and the redeemed are supposed to live by it.
And this being a free nation, you can believe what you want. But just because you may not believe in something doesn't mean it's not true.
