Ok, I'm quoting my own post because you ignored it the first time. This thread was orignally about CBN, which JesusDiedForYou never really addressed. So here it is again. Btw, JD4U, nobody hates you, at least I don't, but I'd really appreciate it if you would address this issue. Networks like CBN, TBN and Daystar get a lot of coverage around the world, and a lot of people that see them get the impression that what they say and do is what Christianity is really about. If that doesn't concern you, it ought to.
I don't hate you, I actually love you. It's just that most things you (claim to) think about God are not true (correct). You are either a liar or a fool, and I can't tell which one you are.
Ah, and the dissembling never stops. We were talking about pointing and labeling and you play with words to make it look like were talking about instructing. (if you can't win an argument change the topic?) (I find it both funny and sad that you'd think you'd need to tell me this^) Sorry but the mainstream christian interpretation of the bible belongs in the recepticle right next to the bathtub. It should be used by people who understand it (and actually read it) to guide and correct themselves. "Correcting" is too ambiquous and dangerous a term in to be left in the hands of people who've based their lives and beliefs on selective interpretation.
you have severe delusions of grandeur. i don't hate you, just think you are a bad person. Perhaps abused as a child, I'm sure there are reasons. Oh well, Jesus loves you right? I'm actually not so sure, he probably thinks you pathetic too. Whats really to like, if you think about it?
Okay, in the Bible it says Homosexual? In the New Testament it says homosexual? Jesus came out and said don't be a homosexual? The view of must of the world by the way is that homosexuals are evil. I don't share that view. Check polls. Most people in this country aren't far gay marriage. BTW Who said I was pro abortion? I am personally against abortion. I don't believe that I should pass certain laws calling for my belief in this MURKY area. Oh, yeah there was that don't get an abortion verse to right? Why am I a Liberal Christian? Most of our views are probably the same. I have two or three different views from you and I'm a Liberal Christian? What about faith and love for your fellow man? What about helping the sick and needy? What about being their for people in their time of need? To hell with that...They could be a democrat. Who of course are all sinners right? We should pray together brother. If you want my number IM me.
Nope. That was Paul (Corrinthians 6-something). Ever notice how "christians" (as opposed to christians) always have to back up their agenda with quotes from Paul or the OT or basically anybody except Jesus himself? Nope.
Jesus actually said said love everyone if I remember correctly. He also especially mentioned people who are born eunuchs are loved by God. Now, very little people are born without genitals. It happens but it's infrequent. "Eunuchs" back in Biblical time was also a term for gay men. Here's a thesis on it that makes a compelling argument http://www.well.com/user/aquarius/thesis.htm There's also people who believe Paul was talking about prostitution. When he said "unnatural" lust. Was he talking about homosexuals who were born homosexual? Or was he talking about men who picked up young boys in Roman temples?
NaykidApe, Ah, and the dissembling never stops. We were talking about pointing and labeling and you play with words to make it look like were talking about instructing. (if you can't win an argument change the topic?) - It is called a parable... I know somoeone else that used them as well to make it easier to explain His message... perhaps mine was not simple enough. (I find it both funny and sad that you'd think you'd need to tell me this^) Sorry but the mainstream christian interpretation of the bible belongs in the recepticle right next to the bathtub. -Mainstream Christianity is religion... the Bible and a relationship with Christ is the way to go. It should be used by people who understand it (and actually read it) to guide and correct themselves. "Correcting" is too ambiquous and dangerous a term in to be left in the hands of people who've based their lives and beliefs on selective interpretation -The Bible is pretty black and white... it is those who spend no time ever reading the Bible are the ones most confused.
Listen to you...As a Christian should you talk to people like that? Seriously. Does it make you feel superior in some way? Let me ask you this...Berating people has brought them to Christ when? Seriously,I want to pray with you.
Your the one holding me up to the higher standard... I don't feel supieror... but your viewing me as supireror I have just been bonbarded by about ten sarcastic posts and I try to keep my composer but I make one post that is somewhat sarcastic and you are right on my tail... like I'm perfect... never once did I see you say anything about this post: "you have severe delusions of grandeur. i don't hate you, just think you are a bad person. Perhaps abused as a child, I'm sure there are reasons. Oh well, Jesus loves you right? I'm actually not so sure, he probably thinks you pathetic too. Whats really to like, if you think about it?" But look who is pointing the finger now...
Perhaps you should try writing something intelligent that actually challenges conservative, anti-gay, pro-life positions so that those who read your material will be PERSUADED to agree with you. If you can't do that, then you really have no good reasons to complain. Also, you can't be Christian and not be pro-life. There are no pro-abort members of the Body of Christ.
But, if you're a Christian you're supposed to love your enemies right? I've had it done to me several times here. Don't let people get to you. If I was harsh I apologize. But, you said in so many words that I'm not a Christian. So, I ask you brother...If I say that Jesus Christ is my Lord and personal savior...i.e. My God...Then what am I?
I don't think I said you weren't a Christian... If I did I was mistaking becuase I do not trully know that... What I did say however is that you hold to liberal christian views which in many cases are similar to the world's views.
