Now why would you do that?

Because Jesus didn't harass anyone but the money-changers and the scribes/pharisees for lack of love/goodwill/charity. I don't judge - I just go by what people say and react.

Do you also believe someone is condemned to hell for their beliefs? Ever think that is the foulest thing that a so called Christian can say?

ahem.... post 292.....

In a word, yes.

In a word No.

Everyone is condemned to hell already unless they believe in Christ as He is who He said He was.

Is it Christian to warn someone that what they believe is in error according to Scripture?

You betcha. The most loving thing a Christian can to do is to warn them that they're in error and heading to hell for it.

So you don’t judge, funny thing is that God said we are to judge everything against His Word.
I can not condemn you to hell - heaven or hell its your choice and your’s alone. We go to heave or hell of our own free will.
Jesus spoke truth - He said the was only one way.
psst, Have you ever read what Jesus said? If He wasn’t ‘harassing people” they wouldn’t have crucified Him.
Really, now look at the disciples, they preached and people rioted - I’d call that big time harassment.

John 3:16-18

 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

I have news: Luther exaggerated. His logic flawed. He didn't speak 'truth. - what he spoke was heresy. [DaveMSmith, post #292]

So condemning someone for their beliefs is "foul," but DaveMSmith condemning Luther for his alleged heretical beliefs is A-OK???? Or labeling Luther "quite insane" (post #171) must be a "compliment" by comparison, eh???

ALL: Note from Dave the split directives and the "religious license" he gives himself for openly judging others' religious beliefs as he openly condemns Martin Luther.

I like you...for some reason...

Even if somebody did that, why would you -- a follower of Swedenborg -- deem that to be a "foul" thing? Swedenborg taught that heaven and hell are both within us and that we can freely enter into either one...

If you literally believed Swedenborg on this, then if somebody condemned you to hell, they are just -- in Swedenborgian concept...condemning you to somewhere inside of you...

Now perhaps you know yourself best...and perhaps you see how "foul" it is in there (I don't know, I'm not you)...but if the worse that can happen is to be condemned inside yourself...how is that "foul" unless that inner environment is already pretty foul?
