I am not a liberal, but you are a legalistic pharisee who thinks you are God. I would be careful if I were you, as God sees and knows all.
I have nothing more to say to you.

[redeemed_by_His_blood]

Yes you are a liberal religionist, who is ignorant of God's Word.

Ok, we just call it church:>)

And you know that an Irishman is never drunk as long as he can hold onto a blade of grass and not fall off the earth :>)

Having a bit of Irish blood myself, I believe I did hear that somewhere...LOL

I am not a liberal, but you are a legalistic pharisee who thinks you are God.

I am always amused at the liberal religionists who so quickly misappropriate Matthew 7:1, and then go about "judging" in violation of the very principle they purport to abide by. In reality, that is exactly the kind of hypocritical juding that Jesus denounces in the Matthew 7 passage. Unfortunately, you confuse upholding of God's commands as "legalism", which proves you don't know what "legalism" genuinely is. But it makes you feel good to throw out false charges, doesn't it.

I guess you would call John the Beloved a "legalistic pharisee" too.

Go learn what this means:

1 John 2;

3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

Well, I have to agree with that. There are some in our congregation that think that "Left Behind" makes sense. I am working on them, too :>)

I wonder if they also think it makes sense giving TD Jakes, a full blown modalist heretic the stamp of legitimacy by giving him the role of a pastor in the "Left Behind" movie?

[irishtenor]

They are just confused. They feel that anything with a feel of legitimacy must be of God. There is little discernment among them.

That's just it, they "feel" like something is right, without an objective standard.

There is little discernment among them.
scary isn't it. No wonder bill Klinton was elected twice.
