God then condones homosexual pedophilia.

This will not be refuted, but suddenly the argument will change and run off, howling it the opposite direction, daring us all to chase it.

It so saddens me that indeed, when we should all be working for The Kingdom, fighting Islam, and spending our time preaching the Good News that Jesus Christ came to save us all (a message sent to Jew and Gentile alike, as Paul sounded)...some people insist on slapping Christ in the face and distracting the lost from that Good News...by stirring the pot. I recognize Catholics as having their own faith traditions, and I am fine with that. But I judge trees by their fruit. If you must attack MY faith tradition...why aren't you spending your time witnessing to the Lost instead. And why is insisting making our differences more important than our common Grace...and clearly to you more important than the Great Commission.

In the debriefing after I am dead, if I am wrong, God will take care of it and set me straight...as he will do for those who curse their brothers. In the meantime...should we not be preaching His grace, and fighting the devil?

I have a good friend, an otherwise fine Christian, that is a "7 Day Creation" person first and foremost. DARE to opine that perhaps the Almighty took longer...and you might as well renounce your faith, because to HER...beating you into believing as she does is more important than winning souls. Science-believing people that SHE meets will never come to Christ because to HER, winning that argument is EVERYTHING. You cannot point out to her that she will be judged by God for having turned people from the faith...because what she wants is to force others over to HER views.

If I am wrong about that...I lose nothing. God will straighten me out five minutes after I die, and it probably won't matter then. But I don't want Jesus to shake his head in disappointment at me that I turned away His sheep by letting them think that his followers looked nothing like Him.

I am perfectly fine with Catholics. Preach, win souls. But I have to express disappointment in the ones that insist on attacking my traditions when I have done nothing to warrant that attack.

And clean up your own house before you come knocking on the door at mine. Just saying. Let's see you defrock the ones that molest little kids, not just move them around and tell the new congregation nothing at all about that little trouble at the last one.
