"Don't shoot until you see...RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY"
Yeah, that's the spririt, all right.
Are you a Chrisitian? If so, then for beginners defend your decidely un-Christian behavior towards Terriergal (insinuating that she is a b*itch), and me for your post #160, If you ever get your head out of your a$$ long enough to actually figure out what I'm talking about... What is the point of discussing the Word of God, if we refuse to allow the Word Himself to cleanse our minds and tongues? Until this issue is addressed, to go on any further with you would be a complete waste of time.
Yes, and I do think you have a problem with the Bible. If you are unwilling to believe the sure and terrible judgment of God against all unrighteousness, it is foolish to think that you will ever know the love and mercy of God.
it is very clear from the New Testament that turning the other cheek has a high price, even the ultimate price, sometimes
You know as well as I do that those who 'turned the other cheek' in the bible were doing so as they were being so-called punished by the Romans for being Christians....abused women are not being abused because they are Christian but rather because their husbands didn't like the way they washed the dishes, or the clothes they wore that day or etc...big difference.
Take a look at IPeter chapters 2 & 3 and tell me what you think. Pay particular attention to the opening phrase in v.1 of Ch. 3, as it transitions from the persecutions described in Ch.2. The Great Commission gets obeyed in myriad ways. OTH, the grace that covers us extends way beyond where a woman needs to go to protect her children and herself.
I know women in our church that have hung in there way beyond the call of duty (in the world's terms) and been rewarded with a 'new man' in the same husband's body. I also know (quite well) a woman that left her dope dealing hubbie, from concern for their 6 year old boy. I did'nt (and would'nt) tell her that what she is doing is wrong; this woman has a solid faith, and if that is where G-d is leading her, than it is for a reason.
Cordially,
,,, you're the judge, after all.
I am a Christian, if that what you meant to ask.
"If so, then for beginners defend your decidely un-Christian behavior towards Terriergal"
You just can't seem to stop playing God, can you? I owe you no explanation concerning my "behavior", that's between my Lord and myself, don't seek to stand in the way.
"(insinuating that she is a b*itch)"
Hey! If the shoe fits, wear it.
There was no problem between me and Poodle girl before she made a bitchy remark directed at me.

"what is the point of discussing the Word of God, if we refuse to allow the Word Himself to cleanse our minds and tongues?"
Is that God thing of yours again acting up! Who are you to judge everyone that comes across your path?
Passing judgement on others with unclean hands...shame on you.
"Until this issue is addressed, to go on any further with you would be a complete waste of time."
Cool, then there will be no response to this, I like getting the last word in.
"Yes, and I do think you have a problem with the Bible."
That and $3.70 will get you a Vente coffee at Starbucks.
"If you are unwilling to believe the sure and terrible judgment of God against all unrighteousness, it is foolish to think that you will ever know the love and mercy of God."
It isn't the "sure and terrible judgement of God" that I have a problem with, it is the bile and hate spewed by so-called Christians that I have a problem with, and the fact that they believe that God's tender mercies will be rained on those who hate like they/you do.
Now, smile!
Jesus loves you!
Your use of the word "MAY" indicates you are not familiar with God's judgment, God's Word, or God's love. Love doesn't declare evil good.
*smiling*
Dontcha' just love the 'Jesus loves me more than He loves you' crowd?
And counterproductive, too.
