Why do Christians sound stupid?

Oh goody goody your an alter boy of a church that doesn't even believe in Christ the Messiah, yet you want to claim Peter as your hero. You do know Peter was a follower of Jesus Christ, no I guess you don't since you think the scriptures are a bunch of nonsense.

The Church of England confesses Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God. But we are a progressive church and not a stick-in-the-mud superstitious church like the Baptists who look back with pride to their old witch-hunt days in Salem when innocent old women were burnt alive because they believed in one stupid verse written by bloodthirsty ancient Israelites who really didn't know better.

Yea, they confess a Jesus and a God they do not believe exist, so what kind of reasoning is that, sounds more like a cult that uses religion as a feel good thing.

Our church consists of all kinds of people. There are the duffers (and they probably have the same childish understanding of the faith and very much like Baptists but at least they aren't fundies) and there are people who are really progressive. One example is our previous Archbishop of York who was a great scholar. He even questioned the historicity of Jesus. He said there was never a bloke called Jesus - I mean the one we mean (but of course there might have been all kinds of rascals named Jesus in those days but we aren't talking about those). I do believe our Jesus existed in history so in a sense, I'm not as progressive as that Archbishop. But our church is a progressive church and we allow people to think. We don't chain the minds of parishioners the way Baptists do it. Reason is one of the main tenets of the Church so we encourage doubts and scepticism.

Now you must be lying one way or another, either Christ is real or not your so called church needs to make a determination and quit straddling the fence.
It's very apparent you know nothing about the Southern Baptist Church, we teach that everyone needs to study scripture and find answers and not to hold our leaders up as gods like your church apparently does. By the way the God you do not believe in finds churches that teach false doctrine such as yours, a church unworthy, read the scriptures.

Well if you want to do a little comparison deal we can, I'm an ordained deacon of the church, and deacons were part of the original church, they were doing work in the church long before there were Archbishops.

Ho Ho Ho! I am tickled pink. Who, pray tell, ordained you? You are all self-appointed priests and no doubt you were ordained by a self-appointed bishop who was installed by another heretical self-appointed archbishop. You see, if you are cut out from the Apostolic church, you can't do any ordaining. Don't you see it? You can only trace your church to the first time someone became a heretic and decided to spurn the holy baptism of mother church and there you have the first Baptist. I read somewhere he baptised himself and others!!! What a heresy!!!

Is this what St. Peter said, that only your church can ordain, a church that has thrown away all that the Apostles taught. Oh, wait you do not believe in the Apostles do you, then tell us how is it you say you identify with Peter.
Proof you know nothing about the Southern Baptist Church or have ever read about us. We have no priest nor bishops or archbishops, we believe all are equal and hold no power over others, all have equal access to God, we have no one to rely on except Christ.
As far as ordination we need no approval from a disbelieving church such as you portray, I was ordained by God through the church.
Who is he, do not tell me you believe a man named Baptist founded the Southern Baptist Church, really!

The Baptist church baptizes with water as a symbol of our acceptance of Christ, the symbolism is identifying with the life of Christ in His death, burial and resurrection. The real baptism comes from the Holy Spirit, anointing true believers into the church of Christ ie. the family of God.

In the first place, all churches use water for baptism. The Baptist church just copied the mode used by the apostolic church, ie mine.
It's heresy to say there is another baptism. There is ONE baptism for the forgiveness of sins. That's in the Creed that even heretics like you recite.

You have no idea what that verse even means, we as Southern Baptist do, we know that water baptism is not required for salvation, the water baptism is to honor Christ and show that we believe in what He did for us.

Son you have a lot to learn, I suggest you get with it and find the truth about Christ. I can see that all you are interested in is being noticed, of coarse I guess that is what pimple faced prepubescent boys do.

As they say, sticks and stones....
Prepubescence is only a short-lived thing and in my case, it sure is going to be VERY short-lived. I don't think I need to be any more specific. Even the church pulled me out from the choir together with other boys. If prepubescence were a permanent feature, we'd be singing soprano all our lives. Read a biology book if you don't know this.

You'll sing soprano all you life, you have no truth in you, you are nothing more than an atheist in disguise, come out of the closet little one and admit it. Your parents force you to go to church and resent it, so instead of standing up for what you want to believe you run down the true church from behind the mask you have placed on yourself, you little pup, are afraid, and I see through your little disguise.

Oh, this is sweet: inter-christian fight in an atheist forum!

He is not a Biblical Christian, he's like a lot of people of all manner, a want-a-be.

What? Someone from a heretical church dares to call an altar boy from the Holy Apostolic Church a wanna-be? I've seen baptist churches. They're much smaller than a tiny chapel within a typical cathedral. A Baptist who enters one of my churches will probably gasp at the splendour of a real church and for the first time in his life, he'd be thinking what a rotten deal he had for being cut off from the Apostolic church. But we accept heretics and fundies who repent of their sin of fundyism. There's no greater sin than fundyism.

Sin, you talk about sin, hypocrite, you do not even believe there's a God so how is it anyone could sin if there's no God. No God, no one to sin against, you should grow up before arguing with adults.
We do not really care about the splendor of cathedrals, the splendor of our Lord and Savior is what's important to us. As far as the Southern Baptist Church goes in numbers, we have more members. We are actually glad not to be associated with nonbelieving churches such as you describe.
Oh yea, you are a want-to be, but it's not a Christian you want to be.
