Because otherwise you are picking and choosing what “sins you will support.”
What makes YOU think you can evaluate millions of people with a little observation!”
Are you serious? I offered no evaluation, except on what you posted.
“You might even find yourself placed in a situation by the Lord where someone, who at some point had been in ISIS, now is being sought by the Lord. But no, you won’t be the kindness that draws them.”
I specifically mention ISIS, a manifestly evil organization, not individuals.
But the boycotting being discussed is not of ISIS, assuming it to be of single minded evil.
It is one of people who do some good and some evil things.
I stand firm that the bible never requires such a boycott, never. Therefore it is of man’s formulation, and therefore has myriad pitfalls.
From Romans: Bless those who persecute you. Bless them, and don’t curse them.
Notice he didn’t say under the breath. He said don’t curse them period!
Also you go to the gospels to get quotes from Jesus... not to Paul
You said boycotts were acts of hate. That was the point I was addressing. Nothing more, nothing less.
"If we go on sinning after we have learned the truth, no sacrifice can take away our sins."
Because otherwise you are picking and choosing what “sins you will support.”
I would never ask for or presume personal information about anyone, but I can guess you are involved with a company that promotes causes that many at this site would call evil.
In the vast majority case, unless it really is of a totally-evil organization, they are. Picky points around the edge about an entity like ISIS notwithstanding.
Wow, finally the judgmentalism comes out! Thanks for confessing it by your acts!
I work at a firm which is extremely conservative.
You are taking a warped take on that verse anyhow, to support your eisegesis. That was a warning to the Hebrews not to give up on Jesus, because if they did, they would only get in hotter and hotter water with the Lord (until they got it right).
You know everybody sins, what is your excuse for doing business with anyone?
Pick and choose as you wish, but I go to the Bible to get the inspired Word of God.
Notice he didn’t say under the breath. He said don’t curse them period!
He didn't say help them promote their sins either.
But you aren’t helping them sin by simply doing generic business with them. You are giving them funds with no direction as to what to do. Now the responsibility is theirs before the Lord. It isn’t yours.
Thank you very much for posting this. I stand with Kim Davis!
Bravo NKP. Too many tools of the pervert alliance have accepted their changing of the language to downplay their sinful and disgusting acts. There is nothing gay about the sodomites. The males are coprophiliacs and the females are simply diseased in their minds.
Jim.
Had my credit card lost a few months ago, had to cancel it and forgot to update my monthy donor on the new card.
Noticed it today and updated to monthy again.
My apologies. .....
"If we go on sinning after we have learned the truth, no sacrifice can take away our sins." The readers can decide on your interpretation for themselves.

In many cases, it's simply unavoidable in this fallen world. That doesn't mean I have to support planned parenthood and HRC.org if I have alternatives.
Wow, finally the judgmentalism comes out! Thanks for confessing it by your acts!
What, that I forgive and have been forgiven? What does that have to do with helping to fund organizations that kill babies and push children into thinking they're members of the opposite sex? Nothing.
I work at a firm which is extremely conservative.
I'm actually glad to hear that.
Be prepared.
Of course you are. Who do you think that money comes from? If you know they fund planned parenthood and HRC.org and you choose them over a company that doesn't, you are choosing to send some of that money to those organizations.
I certainly appeal to the reader to read the whole book of Hebrews, not a cherry picked phrase that seems to make you feel good about boycotting.
Nobody is FORCING you to personally do it, but when you spread it around, then your responsibility goes to a whole new level. You are presuming to think for those other people. That is quite a perversion of the actual biblical urging to “give a reason for the HOPE that is in you.”
And the judgmentalism I mean is the EVIL suspicion on your part that I somehow have a financial vested interest here!
