Isn't this a FAKE AR-15?

Pastor Dowell just emailed me, said he was taking the "response video" to me down as it had served its purpose and he did not want it used to beat me down further... But it was a classic owning...

Quite a man, that Pastor Dowell...

Meh, he took the opportunity of somebody "questioning him" to denounce all "doubters" as professional hypocrites.

God forbid anybody be skeptical and not simply accept everything at face value. Otherwise they might not believe all the other bullshit you are peddling.

I guess he doesn't grasp that if everyone had that mindset we'd all still be worshiping Zues and the other Gods of Mt. Olympus, lest we be "professional hypocrites."

So while I can find his stance on firearms admirable, and ironic given many of the Christian "critics" responding to his videos, the rest is nothing more than another guy with something to peddle who has a problem when people "question his wares."

And that doesn't impress me at all.

Actually, he would steer you to one of his other videos telling you how he is NOT a Christian in any way or form...

Interesting. I did not listen to the whole thing, but did listen for a while, but he is not railing against Christianity (ie belief in Christ), he is railing against the multitude of different sects proclaiming Christianity. And his focus on Israel as the covenant people.

A further email with Pastor Dowell and I, we both agreed the video serves a good purpose back up for public viewing...

He's referring to not being a Christian in terms of religion, but he is a believer in Christ.

The point is the same, he is still selling wares based upon faith alone and criticizes any who question what is being offered.

I think we do the same thing all the time in life... We believe something to be true, tangible or intangible, and we act on that belief, and we often ponder why people don't see it the same way as we do based upon whatever evidense we accepted in that formation of belief...

But as with most things of this nature, one can take it or leave it... No gun to the head. His words of criticism should mean nothing to one who rejects the whole premise...

This is why DETAILS matter, and why so many do not understand the path people like Pastor Dowell are on... Culture & traditions...

Christ is from the roman word "christos." Every roman god, and there are a lot of them, was a CHRIST. So what CHRIST does he believe in? Mithras? Jupiter? Venus? Jesus?

Technically, Christianity, the religion, is a roman off-shoot of Messianic Israelites who believed Yahushua was the Messiah. Later adopted and transformed by Rome into the Catholic Church, then into other offshoot denominations, all with their specific traditions and holy days (sunday, christmas, easter, etc...)

Pastor Dowell rejects Christianity, the religion, and is a Messianic Israelite (see his comment on mixed multitudes left Egypt but ALL became ISRAEL). He is not Jewish, nor does he accept Judaism as his religion. He rejects CHRIST, a meaningless, non-defined title, but is a follower of the Messiah, whom I call Yahushua, but he calls Jesus.

Didn't mean to take this into religion, it was about me getting owned, but I thought I should clarify where he is coming from...

Yep. I'm fully aware of the belief, as it's my own. His church is about an hour and 15 minutes from me. I'm somewhat tempted to drive up there one weekend and hear what he has to say.

Actually Christos is GREEK, not Roman, and means "anointed one". It is commonly given to the Messiah.
