@Rachael - getting people to do anything out of fear is coersion. That amount of fear and indoctrination you endured is more reminiscent of a kool-aid cult. If a Church doesn't accept all verses of the Bible then just walk out. They Obviously skimmed over Matthew 7. I don't believe I've made up any rules that aren't in the Bible about what God is, requires or what I believe. Nor have they been contested by the Christians here or other Christians I've met.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
