The last thing in the world I would wish for is someone like you telling me how to follow my religious teachings. If you can do it, then Barack Obama can also, and he probably won’t be quoting any religious doctrine.
Mind your own business and keep your nose out of mine.
The last thing in the world I would wish for is someone like you telling me how to follow my religious teachings... Mind your own business and keep your nose out of mine.Let me get this straight: My "religious teachings" from the apostle Paul & Apollos tell me it's OK to go into the synagogue and debate with fellow religious Jews (See Acts 16, 17, 18, 19). But your "religious teachings" of telling others to "mind" their "own business and keep your nose out of mine" supposedly shuts down and censors my "religious teachings" from the book of Acts?
On what grounds do you appeal to re: your religious teachings trumping mine? (I can at least appeal to the Bible, book of Acts). What authority do you appeal to?
Besides, if you're own personal standard is to "mind your own business and keep your nose out of mine" then please tell me why you're not keeping your nose out of the religious business I'm posting on this thread?
If this was such a great standard to adhere to, then you'd ignore me. Totally. 100%. Your nose would be elsewhere. As would your mind you're not suppose to "mind."
Instead. You're minding my business.
What are we suppose to believe? The words you're preaching at me? (Or the actions that betray your sermon?)
Mind your own business and keep your nose out of mine.
I know EXACTLY how you feel!
17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother,
“I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”
