You will not find the workers Truth in a Christian bookstore, nor would there be any hope of finding the workers Truth there. The worker brand of gospel and Truth is not glorified there. That happens only from their own lips. Lips that blend a little truth with allot of lies.
Like a bunch of paralyzed blind victims all stuck in the web of the spiders nets. Captured and tricked into serving the flesh of their masters, enslaved to the fear of their disapproval. Pretending and acting as they have watched others do. Monkey see, monkey do They must keep their heads in the sand, yes they use all their faith, just keeping their heads buried as deeply as possible, so reality does not hinder their delusions.
Going to a Christian bookstore to look for Truth would be like taking their heads out of the safe, but blinding sand.
No don't go looking for answers, just follow the workers and get to live in the workers kingdom. NOT GOD's

Why is it that people of this 2x2 way don't like Christain bookstores? Don't lump everyone together now. I love Christian bookstores. I could probably open up one of my own with my own collection! I'm fortunate enough to have access to dozens of some really great Christian bookstores and a couple of excellent Christian University bookstores too.

If you are at a Christian book store to purchase a bible, workers wouldn't mind today. Just don't purchase any religious material because many of them believe religious stuff comes from "man" and not "God". I do know workers who go to religious stores hunting book markers, bible cases etc.. Although they prefer the friends to order bibles through RL Allan. www.bibles-direct.com

Wow, lets just stereotype everyone!
My parents went into Christian bookstores a lot, most often to buy new bibles, but sometimes for other reasons. I have several Christian books, as do my parents.

Do you mean to tell me I am wrong? Whew, I have jumped to conclusions again? When I was going to meetings, several people made it "clear" the F&W's did not read outside material, cause it was EVIL and from the lost and the dead and the false. Then I heard how the devil was an expert on scripture and could deceive the elect. Only trust the workers, Only trust the workers, only trust the workers. I don't trust the workers, but I do trust God and his Son and his Spirits leading. Once I heard the workers lies, and arrogance, and prideful service, their food made me puke. To much us, not enough Jesus

Why should they? i like the way you put a question mark on christian materials ;D i would question a lot of that stuff as being christian as well when you brag about where you get your truth from, it's not from the Holy Spirit, God Jesus or any from heaven, it's from satan. boy are you decieved

I dare you to buy some Christain books---let's say for example books by Charles Stanley or Chuck Swindoll or Beth Moore and set them on your coffee table. Tell us what the reaction of your workers and friends would be----- Well We have done that, we had a Gideon bible an book of Mormon and a couple of books on the crucification under our coffee table when we had our overseer in our area and his reaction was to pick up one and start reading it. His only comments were "This is interesting what have you got here?" and before he went to bed asked us what we thought of what we had read. It is like any subject you would care to name that one would like to study, there is material out there that supports, refutes, educates, belittles and sometimes puts a different spin on what you believe to be the truth of that subject. What you must do as an individual is be discerning of what you read, or rather what you believe after reading. If I get a book and start reading it and find it is so far away from my belief as to be detrimental, I just put it down. Todays readers are tomorrows leaders. By what you learn and understand today you can change and shape your world of tomorrow. Short sightedness today creates blindness tomorrow. Some little sayings I use when running Business seminars for motivation. [shadow=red,left,300]Regards BC[/shadow]

I said I followed Jesus spiritually to learn how to love. Jesus taught me how to love unconditionally...... You may not care for my love though. Thats okay, Jesus wants you to have the very best, inspite of your spiritual condition (blindness) Has God ever shown you anything? Or do you let the workers tell you what to see? Can you see anything without them? Or do you just follow the herd? The flesh is ruled by fear The spirit is ruled by LOVE !!!!

One of my very favorite workers (and companions) was an avid reader of Halley's Bible Handbook, and more than one sermon of his had benefitted from his research in same.

I have heard it preached in some of the last 'gospel' meetings I attended that "We need no books but God's own Word"-Hester Williams,1999.Heard it discouraged often from the platform at various conventions and meetings.The only Christian reading materials in the friends homes around here was concordances and Bible dictionaries.A few NIV study bibles have crept in unawares:)-my sis-in-law was very suspicious of hers(it was a gift from an "unsaved" friend.)She has come to read it a bit and likes it.In general,the iowa friends above 40 years don't have much in the way of Christian study helps or commentaries.(imho)

I have been enlightened by Chuck Swindolls writings and John Piper,Dennis Rainey,many others.There are many good preachers who are writing to help us understand God's words.Are you familiar with any?They are teaching god's word-expounding and increasing understanding.I enjoy listening to their sermons also.

A lie is a lie is a lie. When a workers says"If a Baptist quits smoking it has nothing to do with God", where is the lie? When a workers says "all the other preachers are of the devil" where is the lie? The workers teach you what to see, not how to see. You are so biased and lost, you can't afford to seek the Truth, it would destroy you. Why? Because you serve God in the flesh, not in spirit, it is the same delima faced again and again by us Christians. Whats your Christian story? Do you have one? What has God taught you? You have not overcome your flesh, for your flesh cannot manifest Jesus. Only the Spirit can do that. A monkey cannot teach you that, a worker cannot teach you that, only God can teach you that, and if you follow Jesus, God will not allow you to change the Truth to suit your biased, selfish, unobjective view of his creation and the hidden glory of Jesus. Stand up in the name of Jesus and seek out the Truth, do not sit around being spoon fed from the workers spoon. They can only tell you their truth, cause thats all they know. Go ask God, his presence is a joy to all his creation. Good luck, bonvoyage, alvetersang, sighanara, chow, adios... Yeah, I care enough about you to tell you to do this. I have loved in the name of Jesus Christ, Son of God. Have you?

I myself have taken workers in what you call Christian Book stores. You really mean stores that carry religious materials. There is nothing wrong with going in them. Many, Many people are buying Bibles at places like Zondervan's, etc because Allans are way too high. Hymnbooks, you have no choice of where to get one. Myself I have Matthew Henry's commentary, several different versions of the Bible, Halleys, Books that go over every single verse and explain it, in their own way, which is probably better than mine. So who ever you are, you shouldn't write such threads unless you really know what you are talking about. Why do you think, well I guess you don't do that nor attend any meetings, workers often say, "and it says in another version of the Bible". Come on, and get real.
