No problem. I accept all peaceful religions, and Christians are 99% great people.

You know what is most important, regardless of which religion? Try to leave this world a better place than when you arrived. Non-violence to other human beings should be the top priority. I like and admire all religions which do NOT commit violence to others in the name of religion. Faith is a very personal matter, and we all share so many common goals. Let religion NOT divide us.

It must be hard for one of your level of immaculate purity to see so many fallen, filthy, doomed for eternity souls who go through life with such a false sense of belief in their own salvation through merely loving people as God loves them and living and speaking that truth as they see it.

If they could only understand, as you do, that God is actually an accountant, meticulously marking down every tiny bit of divergence from the one true interpretation of the Bible version you accept into specific ledgers, adding all the nits up at the end of a lifetime and then seeing the final count to send people to eternal heaven or eternal hell based on the best efforts of their one short, tiny little lifetime, where even belonging to the wrong Christian sect (out of thousands) is not good enough, what a better world it would be for everyone.

Alas.

Hey, you're the one who criticized another freeper's "lack of knowledge," and now you're declaring what should be the top priority in a religion. But you know what? "Faith is a very personal matter, and we all share so many common goals. Let religion NOT divide us."

If you can dump the childish sarcasm, and look at the last clause of your statement, you will have the essence of what Yeshua says will keep one from finding his narrow path to salvation.

“living and speaking that truth as they see it” is exactly what Yeshua was condemning in Matthew ch 7.

It is as the Father sees it and presented it in his word that is the defining line of the path, not as we see it through blinded eyes.

No that is not what the Father asked of us.

We are incapable of leaving the world a better place. The actions of men pursuing what you suggest is exactly what destroys this world.

What men think is “better” is what God has denounced.

He gave us his Torah (literally “the teaching”) to live by.
Men constantly deny his Torah, and replace it with the pitiful “wisdom” of men, which God has called foolishness.

We can only live in wisdom through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Interesting you went to the last clause. Because the whole state ment was "belief in their own salvation through merely loving people as God loves them and living and speaking that truth as they see it." And that is because the first clause is: "belief in their own salvation through merely loving people as God loves them..."

Which, of course, echoes Matthew 22:36-40: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

And then, as for the "second clause," I said "living and speaking THAT truth as they see it." So as "that" truth is what Jesus called the "Greatest Commandment," I hardly think it was what he was condemning in Matthew ch 7.

And as for "childish sarcasm," sarcasm in the face of arrogance isn't childish, it's appropriate. But to the arrogant, it seems childish, because they consider themselves superior.

That's a little weak for foul mouthed, I'd say...and even low grade morons know the difference between a spelling error and a typo.

Am I maybe holding you to too high a standard?

yes really....you’re either A: lying and trolling about Cruz record or B: really unbelievably dense not to understand these issues and what he was doing on them - because it’s pretty basic stuff.

so yes really, there are NO other explanations........altho I’d love to see you try.

Ok, we’re done. I thought you, above all people here, would not resort to name calling. Bye.

that’s not name calling....I gave you the choice of two alternatives.....and even held open that there might be another option (though I doubt it).

"That twisting of the word of God to the aggrandizement of his enemies is rather sick, don’t you think?"


No, I actually think that your total mischaracterization of my post is what is rather sick.   (And the only twisting here is your own twisting of the meaning and thrust of my post.)   My post did not twist the word of God - it actually quoted it directly.   (Read it directly right here.)

That Bible quote was preceded and followed by two photos of Trump, and an obviously fictionalized, lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek application of those Bible texts about the wall of the holy city from heaven to the campaign promises of Trump to build a wall to protect American citizens.

Why are all of your posts so miserable, and mean-spirited, and grumpy, and negative, and bitterly sarcastic, and grouchy, and just plain snotty?

Perhaps you should just go away for a while, and eat a few thousand "Happy Meals", and meditate mightily for a few years upon the following Bible text:


"A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."    Proverbs 17:22

I got carried away. I have decided to overlook their comments on religion. There are too many more urgent and critical issues facing our country. We must set priorities. Otherwise there will be so many liberal democrat voters, ALL conservative issues will have no chance in less than a decade.
