...none of them care about what the Lord says
Love One Another
…without love some of them are no better than the left!
Buck w I don’t know your faith but these types are gainsayers!
Let alone a real practicing Christian who would leave it alone or pray for other souls to repent.
Contention is not of the Lord!
Contention is not the environment for healing!
Contention is a wicked spirit.
You do not see leading motivators Rush, Hannity, Beck etc doing this kind of stuff they may strongly disagree but also know to cross the line of being hateful invites the opposition in to the struggle how foolish of these small minds.
They have not grown in the Lord and only know how to express themselves by throwing tantrums like a two years.
BTW there are many others who do not like Romney and would not vote for him zero! ...they just move on they don’t need to incite an evil hate fest!
Why because they have peace in their soul!
Failing to answer simple questions put to you, Restornu, is showing just what kind of a SPIRIT lives in you.
SOMEone does NOT know their BIBLE!
Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.
--Jude verse 3
Matt 21:12 & 13 Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. "It is written," he said to them, " 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you are making it a 'den of robbers.'
Mark 11: 15 & 16 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple area and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.
Luke 19: 45 & 46 Then he entered the temple area and began driving out those who were selling. "It is written," he said to them, " 'My house will be a house of prayer' ; but you have made it 'a den of robbers.' "
Did you ever read Matthew 23 when Jesus uses strong words to condemn the Pharisees?
There is nothing that demands that *love* must be mushy, feely good, don't ruffle anybody's feathers and tell them what they don't want to hear kind of behavior. Telling someone the truth is love. Not telling them the truth is hating them. It doesn't depend on the feelings of the hearer and whether the person feels *offended* or not.
Praying for someone to repent is good, but it is not enough. They need to hear the truth and for that to happen, someone must tell them. That requires a confrontation of some kind, a truth confrontation. The person hearing it often does not react well of receive it well, but that is totally beside the point. It is not love to let someone go on a self-destructive path that is going to lead them to hell.
The truth is that if someone doesn't accept the Jesus of the New Testament, the one and only God incarnate who died for our sins, one is not a Christian, no matter how *Christian* that person's behavior is.
And voting liberal is not conservative no matter what verbiage one spews and how one tries to justify it.
A true conservative cannot in good conscience vote liberal, no matter what label the candidate is wearing. Republican does not equal conservative. These days, the label of *Republican* is meaningless.
Resty, we have been over this before. We tell you the truth because we love you. Tough love is still love.
And we do pray for your soul to repent. At least I do, every night at that.
Christ was contentious, remember the cleansing of the Temple (that is in the Bible, not the BOM).
And the peace in my soul is because of Jesus Christ and Him alone, not my works. That is real peace.
BTW, did you miss me? I missed you. (HUGS)
Hey Resty! Long time, no talk. How you been feeling?
