WOW! Chill, guys! I know it's hard, but we've got to love Liberntine no matter what. If we don't, than we can't call ourselves Christian, a Christian can't just choose certain parts of the Bible and obey them, while leaving others out! That just don't work that way. So love Liberntine as Christ loved us. Always remember: It's not him we're to get angry at. It's someone or something *else* that truely is an Antichrist. It's prayer that's asked here, not attacks on Liberntine. Edit: John 13:34-35 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." NKJV and Luke 6:28-29 28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. NKJV
i'm just saying that his presence here has been BENEFICIAL to the christians here. (lol, that's gotta chap your ass, libertine.)
surely we'd all be much happier, more peaceful and less angry if everyone was more like you. i see the light now.
Unfortunately, you WERE on such a role this morning, what happened? No, there is no "presence" beneficial to the Christians... How come they all argue with each other over their own "interpretations"? How come there are churches splitting everyday over dogma? How come there are DENOMINATIONS? Yep, REAL beneficial there...
how is disagreement not beneficial? i love that people discuss varying interpretations. i'm afraid of consensus. that's stagnation. but even stagnation is better than the actions committed by a consensus. can we say Patriot Act?
Oh...it IS if you are trying to find common ground and are open-minded with good reason. But, these people are not trying to find common ground. They are mini-versions of the Patriot Act all in little tribes. "I'm right and you're wrong." No room for reason.
There is no "adherance" to such things. Belief in what?? Show me some evidence of your claims and I'll consider belief. Atheism is NOT a belief--- it is a LACK OF BELIEF. The BURDEN OF PROOF is on the "believer", not the "non-believer".
I've read all the posts in this thread, and the one thing that stands out is that Libertine's lynch-mob attackers do not present any form of logic or reason, but rather use personal derision based upon ideological presentiment, and for those people, the translation of that is ~ The Pot is calling the Kettle Black! Christianity has a renowned ability to condemn and destroy. That is what it does best, that is what is happening here. Love thy neighbour indeed! This buch of bigotted hypocrites will never know what Love is, for Love is God!
Indeed. But, even challenging their assumptions of questioning their faith...you get labeled a "hater"...ha ha...what a convenient way to avoid the issue.
