LOL! I know the rules of the the religion forum now....go insult yourself.
You are a poor mind reader fist. I dislike mormonISM. If I disliked mormons I wouldn't waste my time showing them the error of their faith and let them go to hell. I like JCS - but it is not a replacement for the bible - which I do like.
So why do you dislike Christians?
Again, try the bible some time. A ‘70s hippy musical isn’t authoritative.
BBQ sauce works wonders
Dislike Christians? I am a Christian. Apparently I'm not Christian enough for you or others on this thread.
Your actions speak loud.
Instead of scripture, you cite a hippy musical
Appear ignorant of the great commission.
Appear ignorant of the multiple commands and examples to confront false teaching disguised as Christianity.
What do you base your Christianity on?
Actually, back in the day it was monumental. A black Judas (try that now), that is favored by the lord and absolutely has to turn Jesus in to complete His will. Perhaps you should actually watch it. Music by Andrew Loyd Webber.
I agree and throw in with all of you ... the mormons that I’ve known, which in the scheme of things isn’t that many, have been good friends and good citizens. Who am I to judge their salvation? Way above my pay grade.
Tanks! I bee a posting! I asoo whant to make sure that we speak da some.....errrr....langidge.....we be speking more later.....
How’s that “I attack other posters” working out for you......?
Well, if you ain't a Christian, I guess you're off the hook.
TECHNICALLY, you are right: as we CANNOT judge someone's SALVATION; but we sure as HELL can judge what they proclaim to believe and what they teach!
Real poorly!
But the EXPOSING of the chosen Organization that other posters are MEMBERS of is going REALLY good!
They REALLY howl when what their CHOSEN Organization teachs and publishes gets shown on FR.
And if any of their HISTORY is re-printed here?
Why... you'd think the END was near!!!
How am I to set an example and try to lead others to living in the tradition of Christ by removing myself from contact with those who do not believe as I do? Like I wrote previously, the mormons I've known have, without exception, been good to me and productive members of society. Should I treat them as outcasts and how does that make me a person worthy of walking with The Lord and receiving the forgiveness that I so desperately need every single day?
Oh, and nice use of cursing in a post that I guess was supposed to be an argument for Christianity.
Ok, christian; how do you treat people who are in a cult and headed down the BROAD way as Jesus mentioned?
I would hope to HELL that HELL would attracct SOMEones attention!
JESUS seemed to mention it a LOT!
My comments to you contained questions, if it is discussion that you seek to advance. If you don’t want to answer them, fine. But I’m not going to chase every rabbit that you want to throw out there instead of addressing what I’ve written.
Jesus did not use hell in the context of a word to swear in a discussion. It is becoming rather evident that you find yourself in the position of being holier than everyone else, but I find your comments using Jesus to excuse your swearing shameful.
I thought they were rhetorical; not something that I was really supposed to answer.
Repeat the ones that are real important to you, and I'll see if I am able to answer them.
If I detect the odor of a red herring, I'll let you know.
Oh...
Ok...
I'll try to be more Christlike...
Matthew 15:16
"Are you still so dull?" Jesus asked them.
Matthew 231. Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:
2. "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat.
3. So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
4. They tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5. "Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long;
6. they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;
7. they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them `Rabbi.'
8. "But you are not to be called `Rabbi,' for you have only one Master and you are all brothers.
9. And do not call anyone on earth `father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.
10. Nor are you to be called `teacher,' for you have one Teacher, the Christ.
11. The greatest among you will be your servant.
12. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.
14. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.
16. "Woe to you, blind guides! You say, `If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.'
17. You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?
18. You also say, `If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.'
19. You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?
20. Therefore, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
21. And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it.
22. And he who swears by heaven swears by God's throne and by the one who sits on it.
23. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law--justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.
24. You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
26. Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
27. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean.
28. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
29. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous.
30. And you say, `If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.'
31. So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.
32. Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your forefathers!
33. "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?
34. Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town.
35. And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
36. I tell you the truth, all this will come upon this generation.
37. "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.
38. Look, your house is left to you desolate.
39. For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, `Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.' "
Mark 7:26-27
26. The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27. "First let the children eat all they want," he told her, "for it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."
And St. Paul chimes in...
Galatians 5:12
As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
