Urge to kill, rising.

There are so many times when I wonder why the heck God sent me here to Redding and Bethel church. Today I wonder if maybe it's to track a few Bethelites here and punch them in their stupid faces. Maybe in the throat, I dunno. All I know is that I really want to. I absolutely cannot abide falsehood or any sort of christian thought that isn't biblical, especially when it's touted as the way things have to be. If I didn't believe that God still acted like God (continuationism for those who need such labels), not to mention having witnessed it, I would definitely fall more into a Calvinism type place. I am 100% all about the Bible and, you know, doing what it says. I don't care if I don't like something, or you don't, I just care if it's true. Naturally, I tend to clash with a lot of christians.

Needless to say, even though I do believe in the gifts still being about, I also tend to a more stolid, thoughtful approach to things than most charismatics, so I can get into some real conflicts. It happened again today and yesterday on a facebook post in a Bethel group that absolutely has me fuming at outright dumb theology that a number of people here have, which no amount of reasoning or scripture will deter. I'd be more worried about my view being incorrect versus so many others, except I seem to be the only one actually consistently using scripture to argue my points. If I'm wrong, don't keep trotting out the same argument over and over, as if pounding your feelings into me will fix me, but use some damn scripture. Don't ad hominem, don't use a phrase that has nothing to do with the subject, and don't trot out that trite "don't judge lest you be judged". Hell, I'll even provide a verse or two that might work toward your point.


Being vague here, but the whole conversation is longer than I have the energy for right now.
