I'm not a witch doctor. My mother was Catholic and my father Protestant. I have some understanding of the misunderstandings between the two religions. My loving father lead me to be a Protestant..and you sir are not like any Protestant I have ever met. Christians do not throw Bible bricks at other Christians. We have common enemies to fight. Stand together or fall one at a time.
In dealing with the kind of depravity as demonstrated by what was the authorship and inspiration to post the article at the beginning of this thread, the worst thing you can apply is sugar coated Jesus crap. You use a ball bat.
Why? Because before anyone could ever come close to ascertaining productively the concepts of what one would refer to a biblical truth or genuine spiritual aid, you've got to demonstrate the basic ability to be honest with the baby blocks kind of truths in life.
If B-Chan had the wax out of his ears, he got the point of my last paragraph of my first post. What ever the origin was or where ever he got it from, it's a sure bet those ba$tards don't give a sh*t about him. Maybe he got it. Maybe he equally doesn't give a sh*t. Doesn't change the truth.
The battlefield is always the mind. And unfortunately the brain of the container that holds crap ALWAYS gets crapped on. With your mind YOU choose what goes in it. If you choose wrongly, don't be shocked if somewhere along the line you get the ball bat. Better that the ball bat is in words than in the ultimate consequence of the stupid choice you made. In this case it's death. The true enemy of any man is error.
“Christians do not throw Bible bricks at other Christians”???
Chapter and verse please.
Sometimes depravity gets people the ultimate consequence Christian or not. I refer to the Apostle Paul as he confronted certain “Christians” not conducting themselves in a “Christian” way and the truth “brick” clobbered them to the point of death. Paul nor anyone else laid a hand on them. Just poof. TOAST.
You think Jesus was all “sweetness and light” as many Christians erroneously perceive it? When Christ called the religious leaders of that time “Whited Sepulchers” most Christians, ignorant of biblical truth go, Ho Hum ok next verse. They don't get it.
In that time, in that culture, if you called someone a “whited sepulcher” you were saying the equivalent in that age of the most severe curse word you could hear today. Mother F*ker, Ba$tard, A$$ Wipe, Cu*t, take your pick. And from the mouth of Jesus Christ. He ALWAYS did the Father's will, so you can safely place the assumption in there that God told him to say it. Because they were as corrupt, low life, scum sucking punks as are in the Whitehouse and Congress today. Lying Ba$tards all of them. So what do they deserve for their depravity? THE BALL BAT. Damn straight.
To do anything less than what is right and deserved is to intentionally water down truth in the hopes someone will be drawn to a lower standard. You don't do God, yourself, or the person you are attempting to help any favors. When you get honest, really want to, then’s when you're going to get answers and correspondingly good results. Outside of that, you can go right ahead and be as bitter and mean-assed as you want, you're just heading for the next brick wall with your own skull.
B-Chan’s just the moron type headed for the brick wall.
Don’t enter my universe. I’ll smoke you myself.
