I especially like the FULL-GOSPEL CHURCHES, They are much better than the 3/4 GOSPEL, or the 7/16 GOSPEL CHURCHES.

Well, they DO have a claim in that one.  There are plenty of liberal churches that pick and choose which parts of the Bible they're going to follow.  Fundamentalist, full-Bible-believing churches ... also pick and choose, but choose more of it than the liberal churches.

I'd actually prefer the idea of a 3/4 Gospel ... at least they'd admit they only take 3/4 of the bible seriously.

You know what do they have a 1/1000000 Gospel church??

Now, there's a message I could get behind.  According to http://www.trivia-library.com/a/bible-numbers-and-statistics.htm, the Bible (I'm guessing KJV) has 774,746 words.  So, which word are you going to believe 3/4ths of?

 

Or, to look at it another way, the Bible has 3,566,480 letters.  Do you know which three letters I'm believing in?  :-D

As these places seem to offer the ultimate answer, perhaps the Final Church or the Last Stop Before Heaven Church would make more sense. It got me to thinking about 'Seventh Day Adventist' - as God was purportedly having a snooze on that day, shouldn't they respectfully wait till the eighth before they start getting saved? Or is it the apocalypse that takes six days?

More literal thinking - 'the Church of Latter-Day Saints'...  Have they rejected the former-day saints? Surely that would have to include the apostles? And when exactly does 'latter-day' start?

 

Thanks, Samantha, for making me think about something not worth thinking about. I love to do that.

 

When you come to it, 'The Church of Christ', for Christ sakes? What are the others churches of?

Your welcome ... I think about things probably not worth thinking about every time I go to bed till about 2 in the morning :) ... it's a pain.

Actually, that one is meant literally.  They're emphasizing the Mormon saints over those in the Bible.  Remember, when Joseph Smith asked God which religion was the right one, God told him, "None of them," and then proceeded to give an entirely new book.  I think the early Mormon church had a whole slew of saints which took the place of the older ones, from the European church.

Thanks, Joseph P. I'd forgotten it was the Mormons. 'None of them!' Wow! Heaven must have been pretty lonely until Smith came along. But fortunately lots of Mormons have died since then, so it must be rocking now.

It's okay.  Remember, the Mormons are baptizing people, after death, and squeezing them into Heaven on a technicality.

I used to live just a block from the second baptist church of Decatur, Alabama.
