Yet we are called to charity and compassion, to love, compassion and helping each other.
Only if you deny or dispense with Jesus’s ministry can you deny this with the hope of a clean conscience.
But only the hope. The Truth does not change.
There’s a scripture from Paul about that, if you see your brother hungry and naked, and say to him “Be well, stay warm” and do not give him food and clothing, you are serving the master of evil.
Do you not think sharing the gospel IS charity, compassion, love and helping each other? It is only our eternity. Everything else is temporary and will end with the next day of being hungry, or sick or lonely. I know what you are talking about, though. It is a combination of both. But without the gospel of God’s grace, everything else is fleeting. The truth does not change, indeed. And we are called to give the truth. ALL of God’s truth. Not just the parts that make the outward man feel good about his outward acts of kindness and charity.
Charity, Compassion, Christian Charity??? I think not, from the Anti-Popery Cabal. These would hang us or burn us for our devotion to Holy Mother Church. Remember how the republicans of Spain treated the Church. Don’t think for a MINUTE that there are not persons who would do the same in the name of bigotry against Catholics!
I’m not familiar with that scripture. Could you share the Book and scripture it is found in?
Now look at you, being all hateful against non-Catholics. You must have found all those 100 anathemas we proclaimed against the Catholic Church. One day you are going to see yourself as you claim others to be.
And you thought I would just click on a blind link from someone I don’t trust? LOL NOT.
So there you have it. Works, but only as long it isn't too much work. Claiming that what can be done anonymously from the comfort of an easy chair with absolutely no personal sacrifice or risk is answering the call to Beatitude is an insult to those who gave everything.
Badgering and insulting other Christians with an alternate interpretation of Scripture is not an act of charity. It is an act of hubris and vanity. You will not find Grace where you find none of the Fruits of Grace.
The way some of you share the gospel, using it as a club, it’s definitely not charity, compassion, love or help. For the love of God, don’t bother with outward acts of kindness and charity, instead, just make fun of people who do them, impugn their motives, tell them they’re afraid of hell.
And don’t look in the mirror, it might make you uncomfortable.
After all, they’ll just be hungry again tomorrow.
I look at your last posts each, and I ask you: where are the fruits you claim you have? Standing back and letting you post is the best way to show others what hypocricy means. I’ll leave it at that..
Where are YOUR fruits of the spirit? Honestly, all of you, ALL of you, post hatred day after day, and then act all indignant and superior when you reap what you sow.
I am not impressed. Go preach to some poor naive fool who believes everything they read on the internet
Like I said, I’ll just stand back and let you show your fruits of the spirit. And Beatitude Attitude.
Nobody is saying THAT. What we are saying is that just because it isn't mentioned doesn't mean you can presume it did and teach it as truth.
Anything not mentioned in Scripture is suspect until proved otherwise.
Do you believe that Moses’ soul went to heaven and God gave him a new body to return to earth? And if you do, where is that in Scripture?
Double standard much?
That would be the only logical conclusion to be made especially since Scripture CLEARLY says that Moses died and was buried. TO conclude anything else has to deny the clear, plain statements made in Scripture.
Why Moses and Elijah?
Jesus came to fulfill the Law (Moses) and the Prophets (Elijah)
Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
I think there is no clearer illustration of what warped Christianity Dispensationalism is:
“Everything else is temporary and will end with the next day of being hungry, or sick or lonely.”
This extreme devaluation of Jesus’s ministry is it’s own distorted theology, yet it does dovetail with Easy Believerism, I am Church and Just Me and the Bible theology.
Enoch and Elijah were specifically said to have been taken up before they died.
It’s dangerous to presume the same for anyone someone happens to feel like presuming it for. It’s too easy to lead to deception going into areas that cannot be clearly supported by Scripture.
Yes, of course. But in Dispensationalism they believe there is different gospel delivered only to Paul and that it is not the same as Jesus taught to His apostles and disciples.
It is this imagined different gospel that Dispensationalists care most about, not the one we know: the single gospel Jesus lived and taught.
“Smackvoice”: I consider you about one step above Nestorius. you will reap what you sow. In the meantime, I won’t be losing any sleep over your rancor.
Good thing you’re so smart. Clicking that link would have caused you to melt.
Citing chapter and verse like it is an incantation or a municipal code on a traffic citation will not get anyone into heaven, but Blessed are those who live the Beatitudes. If today anyone on these threads has not worked to feed the hungry, comfort the sick, clothe the naked, give hope to the hopeless or defend the unborn then their posting is done only for public consumption and not for the glory of God.
Good. Now about those random verses about rocks and keys and remitting and binding sins.........
