you are an ass. you know that.

There is a nice old man who lives across the street. He is in his 60s. He is an atheist. I have tried to witness to him once or twice over the last couple of years, but he has a very negative view of christianity.

Do you know why he has a negative view of christianity ?

PEOPLE LIKE YOU....

I see why Mahatma Gahndi said..

“I like your christ, but I don’t like your christians, they are so unlike your christ”

He probably has a negative view of Christianity because he’s what Jesus called in the gospel of John a “son of the devil.” Christ was far more negative than any of his servants. He promised not to bring peace—but a sword. Like it or leave it alone. You can’t get around the injunctions given in Matthew 18 or 1 Corinthian 5 or James. The Bible clearly states that we are to forgive, but that we are also—where appropriate—to disfellowship.

Sorry but do you think you are giving yourself a good and nice view of christianity?

You are falling in the trap yourself with your personal agressive attack.
BTW the “nice old guy in the street” and Ghandy are not the ultimate and decisive criteria on christianism and christianity...
Christianity must not undermine Christianism which should not forget CHRIST...

I disagree with your “old man in the street” and Ghandi(who BTW made some big mistakes leading to unrests and civil war in INDIA btween Indians and muslims in INDIA...PAKISTAN is the result of Ghandi’s utopy...

BTW i don’t know if farmer is a troll or a real christian but i think that his stance highlights the christian specificity difficulty(no mercy for sins but compassion and patience with sinners)...
