Christians need to be out there overturning tables and shouting at people that they're "doing it wrong".

Jesus did the same without crude and abusive language. As a Christian, I'd suggest you try that model.

Are you accusing me of using crude and abusive language? How so?

It’s called righteous indignation....the keyword being “righteous”. If you’re in the right, it’s ok to show your anger at the wrongs being done.

Of course, the leftists all think they are in the right and never, ever question the possibility that they might be 100% wrong.

And yes...the leftists wish we would all just ‘turn the other cheek’ as was mentioned last week. I think not.

Jesus wasn’t being abusive when he called the Pharisees serpents, whitewashed sepulchers and den of vipers? He was being civil when He fashioned a whip and drove the money lenders from His Father’s house?!

I just went back and reread the comment. Where on earth do you see "crude and abusive language" in his post?

Again, please show where CCG used “crude and abusive” language.

You have beared false witness against thy neighbor and need to apologize and ask forgivness.

Until then you will be disregarded.

That was uncalled for.

No “crude and abusive language” is in that post. You need to apologize to that poster.

I've got to weigh in here. This was your post at #7:

"Jesus did the same without crude and abusive language. As a Christian, I'd suggest you try that model."

Now if that wasn't an unwarranted slam, I don't know what one is.

LOL. What about the cleansing of the Temple?

What do you call Jesus, riding on a donkey, followers laying their coats down, and waving palms was all about?

What about calling the political religious leaders of the day hypocrites, pretentious lovers of themselves, vipers, and sons of Satan? You can't get any more bombastic than that.

What about all the parables that ridiculed the political religious leaders of the day?

I could go on and on about how Jesus mocked and ridiculed the enemy, but the fight against principalities (Not flesh and blood) is a foreign concept to you.

without crude and abusive language

Would saying 'Urinate off!' fit into your lofty requirement?

Nice policy for some issue...unfortunately, no one suggested crude and abusive language.

What's your agenda?

“Jesus did the same without crude and abusive language.”

Not as I recall the Temple scene where He unleashed his anger and threw the tables over. There is a place for righteous anger.

We have gained, not by being silent, but by getting in their faces and showing them up for the liars and hypocrites they are.

Yea,... he used a whip and turned over the money changes tables to make his point...."You will not make my fathers house a den of thieves." He called some..."white washed hypocrates"...."snakes" ....and a few other choice phrases. Additionally, the bible does say there is a time for every thing....war and to refrain from...to live and to die...to laugh and to cry. This feeble mushy tolerance out there today is not the Christ I know...nor would I want to. We are called to stand for the truth....not take falsehood sitting down. That has been done many yers now and it is "time" to stand..and that we shall indeed do.
