True Christians would not lie to cover up for their criminal negligence and failures leading up to the attacks of the 11th September 2001, which killed thousands of innocents.
True Christians would not ignore other countries human rights abuses, in order to get their support for a so called "war on terror".
True Christians would not lie, and decieve their people into believing that another nation posed a "clear and present danger" in order to initiate an attack on another nation which would kill innocent people.
True Christians would not ignore torture and abuse, and would not attempt to make excuses for the scumbags who carry out that torture and abuse, and those who ordered people to torture and abuse captives.
True Christians would not argue about legal niceties, or their role in helping their own countrymen, women and children following a natural disaster. They would offer their help unconditionally.
True Christians would not deny help for those in need.
True Christians would speak out against those who speak with a forked tongue. When those who claim to be Christians don't act in a Christian manner, then Christian leaders must speak out. Church of England Bishops have called on Christian leaders to speak out and publicly apologise for the Iraq war. It's long past time for true Christians to speak up.
I knew that all it would take would be for us to sit down and talk reasonably amongst ourselves. I feel that the schism between the branches may be close to being healed.
I think that in a situation like this, you should strike the attacker hard enough to spin them around - causing them to thereby "turn the other cheek." At that point, you can strike that one as well.
But I'm willing to listen to anything that Bob might have to offer in this regard as well.
Sure thing! Um, what kinda beer ya got?
So the world is spinning faster.

Will you heed the master’s call?

"And so we wandered on a bit and learned to cope with life.
I grew somewhat stronger when I first encountered strife.
It was the prudent thing to do, to turn the other cheek,
One cheek too many though, could mean that you were weak.
From "Before There Was Dirt ..." on my about page.
Same thing I was thinking - I've got Bud, in the bottom of the fridge so it's good and cold. Can't get the stuff I want - John Smith's Best Bitters, so what I do drink has to be ice cold to hide the taste.
And you always drink your best beer first!
*sniff* We are brothers!
... in pure loving friendship, of course.
ROFL!!
Do you accept non-Bob members?
"Sure thing! Um, what kinda beer ya got?"
Um, non, but I could gopher. Wait!! One Bud Light in the bottom of the fridge.
Brother Bob - I'm not too sure about the Bud Light. Remember Beverages, Chapter 7, verse 3 - Drinkest thou not the lite beers - for they have not the flavor of ordinary beer, and will lead you down a path of darkness.
Cool! You're in!
Worship service is next Sunday. When you open your eyes, be thankful.
Hmmm... well, my favorites are Erlanger and Grizzly, but they're hard to come by. Does that count for anything? OH -- and the Grizzly has to be bought IN CANADA cause what you cna buy here doesn't taste the same. Short of those I like Sam Adams.
LOL!!!
Of course, of course. But then there is Beverages, Chapter 7, verse 11. Adhering always to the recognition that lite beer is not less expensive than proper nourishment. And at the end of that path of darkness, remember to flush and put the seat back down.
Well - the Yankee says you're in - so - you're in. Welcome aboard. Where's the bottle opener??
Cheers!
Church key ... bottle opener ...
Coincidence?
These Muslim loving Bishops are not Christians. They have been working for two decades to remove the basic Christain tenants from the Church and all references to the old testament.
