Colofornian, do you not know the difference between judging people by their actions and judging people to hell? The Lord didn’t tell us to not judge anything.
You also seem fixated over my sign up date. You do realize there are probably far more lurkers here that never do sign up than do right? I was one of those for years before I finally pulled the trigger to give voice. Is that really a hard one to comprehend?
Your utterly false assertion that I claimed ALL devout Christians as being the worst/corrupt business partners is contemptible at best, & a lie at worst. The fact that I’ve had bad dealings w/ devout Christians doesn’t translate into ALL! In fact, I’ve had many more good dealings w/ devout Christians than bad. My response to the poster was in kind.
And last but not least, comparing some Christians to Muslims bombers? Do you really think the Christian bombers over in Ireland that have killed innocent men, women, & children are any better than the Muslim bombers? My suspicion is the Lord will find a warm place for both.
You’re right about one thing though, it’s time to stop. My prayers go out to you.
You weren't specific about which bombers -- as if you didn't want to be. 'Twas seemingly in your interests to be vague and surmise that so-called "Christian" bombers were there neck & neck with Muslim terrorists.

I'll repeat your earlier words & let you "hang" by them. The insinuation there was quite obvious: The worst business dealings I’ve ever had were w/ “devout” Christians. [Confab's post 205 to SeaHawkfan]
Note, no caveat or qualification. This was your "living testimony" about "devout Christians." Some witness that is!

Fixated? When somebody asks you a direct question several times, and you weave, duck & just plain failed to previously respond, who was the one "fixed" upon being unresponsive. And why?
...do you not know the difference between judging people by their actions and judging people to hell? The Lord didn’t tell us to not judge anything.
Who here is judging people to hell? That's actually where I don't want you & Lds to wind up! Ask Szonian when we had FREEPER convos when he was still a Mormon? Did I ever tell him he would be in hell? Am I a prophet? Do I tell people where they will actually wind up? (NO!!!)
So if you can't prove anybody on this thread has actually constructed some "heat hut" with anybody specific's "street address" in hell, then who were you accusing of "judging" on this thread and what "judgments" were they making -- if judging actions is A-OK?
If judging actions are OK, then when we look at any of our own actions/works, or any Mormon actions/works, and we tell you (or fellow trinitarian Christians) that your/their actions aren't ever going to amount enough to get to heaven, that's "OK" then, right?
You do recall that passage in Ephesians 2:8-9: For it is by grace you have been saved,
My Note: Saved -- present-tense/past-tense
through faith—and this is not from yourselves,
My note: How can we get you & Lds to understand that this "isn't from yourselves" -- how much more plain can the apostle Paul get?
it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
Nobody earns gifts, Confab. Heaven isn't acquired of ourselves. Otherwise we could boast. We don't know motives...so we never know which good works any of us do are "suspect" in God's eyes. We are not judging the quality of those works. We are saying that no matter how good they are, they will NEVER be enough. We don't earn our way into heaven!
Possibly; but in Jesus there is FORGIVENESS for sin: even as heinous as these...
