Why dont you use your "judgment" then to witness of God's gift with a civil tongue then?

You and many other immature-behaving followers of our Lord are constantly on this forum with their judgmental voices doing NOTHING to DRAW the LOST to Jesus, but rather drive them away with the coarse rhetoric which is many times very hateful. Did not our Lord tell us to love one another? As for believers making judgment read your Bible, as believers we are to JUDGE ONE ANOTHER - not the WORLD (and people of the world).

I stand now as a believer judging all those believers who have percieved FR as some type of "field" for them to witness in yet you constantly err in your doctrine, and method of approaching the lost: If you cannot say it in Love then expect no words of love from the hearers. I would not want to be in your shoes on the day of Judgment when it is revealed how many you all have offened missed the prize and you were the one to offend.

There is some kind of misconception going around FR that you have to preach Hellfire and Ill Fly while you'll Fry.

You armchair witnessers are brave when you sit at home spewing this guile, go downtown and talk to some drunks like you do here and see how long you will last before they hurt you.

It was very foggy here also, I always take extra precautions when its like that. Amazing, how some drivers speed-up in the rain and fog.

Ah, Khepera I expected YOU to come along and make your judgments here. Why not let God judge for a change?

Every where you post the stench of unmericfulness remains. You must be a babe in the Word, and not been through the fires of suffering yourself to always come off so haughty. Pain will take the shallowness out of you. The true footsteps of Jesus lead to a cross, not self-exaltation - pray for wisdom and God will show you the meaning of mercy.

Why doth the christian rage?

Thats really pretty funny!

King Kong Bundy?

LOL!

These incidents happen in all denominations, but we rarely hear about them. Glad to see this out in the media.

I cant imagine why when the Media's agenda is to defame Christianity as a farce and lead young people and lost souls in general away from the Truth by portraing believers in Jesus as hypocritical.

What is it with clergy and sex with underage boys?

The question is why is this type of thing more publicized than say, teenagers having sex with other teenagers? See above.

The church will have to allow the marriage of it's priests if they want this stain on the church to go away.

Really?

If they were lusting after the younger female of the species, I would agree - Its obvious to all though that these priests are desirous of young boys...hmmmmm?

Sin is rampant in the Church because of the lack of sound teaching, you know this must be true if even the TEACHERS are off chasing the things of the flesh, rather than exhorting their flocks to just works of faith. Still, I do not judge this pastor, this circumstance exposing him may just be the salvation of his soul if he now repents and goes on for God.

If he had been "faithful" he would not be engaging in sodomy with children!!!!

Did you read the article at all? Apparently not or you would have known it said it was "cosensual" (my pun) sex. This indiscrete pastor is charged with second-degree felony because his lover was 2 months shy of 18 yrs old and he was about 51 cards short of a full deck for fiddling around in a parked vehicle.

Also, his "pick-up" was on the Net and not out of his "flock" - I dont condone this and no apologist for homosexuality but the lack of another "Godly" quality called MERCY is appalling here. All of you are quick to judge the man for his weakness, I surely hope his congregation will stand by him as the jackals with fangs bared are all too willing to consume his livelihood, and see him thrown out in the street. Sad.

gotta luv those Tammy Faye eyes!

Wake up Trent Lott and GOP!!!!!!

Yes, the SNORING is deafening.

Please, Dont hold your breath waiting for the lame RINOs to dare say any such thing, lets just lay low and let Dashole make an complete ass out of himself.

With Bush's approval rating in 80's this latest emission of gas from "Farthead" Teddy should drive the last nail in the coffin of his Crappy News Network.

What a stupid fool.

Letterman admitted last year that he is a Republican.

Letterman is a F888ING Liar. Hes playing games with people

You are absolutely correct, Tater

F*** Letterman and Gephardt, there both a couple of sneaking dem slimeballs, dont watch Letterman.

Chelsea's just an attractive young woman.

No, she is truly a painfully plain girl who is despite all attempts to improve her looks has failed miserably, and still looks very unappealling. so, what specifically attracts you to dear Chelsea...

the puffy cheeks?
the Bugs Bunny teeth?
or the bulbous nose?

As usual your modus operndi is just to disagree with the majority on this board.
Or maybe its time for some new glasses :)

Nothing WRONG with that mind you! Enjoy the flames, youve earned them.

Two really evil guys.

BTW...

Unfortunately, for you it will then be too late to take advantage of God's salvation offer before Eternity starts for you

I dont see the word Hell in this sentence - do you?

Hell is a misunderstood concept -All God wants you to do is get a spiritual education, and some moral development. You can get it now, or later. There is a reason that the bible says "every knee will bow and every tongue confess the Jesus Christ is Lord, unto the Glory of the Father.

Every spirit and soul WILL grow into the stature of Christ, in the fullness of the times...it will take longer for some than others - Belivers in Christ are rewarded because they choose to accept the Truth and get their "education" in Time, all others will get it by GIFT in eternity...God isnt going to stop until every knee bows, because all men have a portion of the Name.

Your religion has an implied threat, what a wonderful way to get people to join your religion. Isn't it?

You are a free moral agent, my friend - if you are threatened then maybe its your own conscienece (never could spell that, dangit!)

I addressed your question concerning the problem of "measuring God" (like whats the largest number, or the value of pi) I cant help it if you dont like the obvious answer, - have a good 'un!

, I really have to get offline to make calls and run to the bank.

Dont worry I predict this thread will be running for some time to come...Now if you had some $$$ to spend, Im rather fond of PRS guitars.

On the other hand nothing can kill a kid's interest faster than a crappy instrument.

If that was ALWAYS the case then I would have never attained the skill-level I posess now.

I struggled through several cheap no-name Japanese guitars (none with less than 4 pick-ups *grin*) all sporting horrible large gauge, flatwound strings - before I finally attained a Gibson SG at 16 yrs old. But I believe it made a better guitarist out of me, paid my dues, so to speak.

Wish I still had those old battle-axes (sniff)

Either quantifiy and measure your alleged god, or I will remain unconvinced

No one (but God) will convince you then, because Infinity cannot be measured nor quantified.

Unfortunately, for you it will then be too late to take advantage of God's salvation offer before Eternity starts for you. The Ultimate CATCH 22, my friend. Very interesting!
