Those of Jesus, actually..... Matthew {5:22} But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
:nono: All sin is hell-worthy because it comes from the heart. Mark 7:20.
The reason I disagree with you is 'because' you think some 'sins' are 'okay.' :nono:
...so remember that, every time you call anybody a retard.
Stop cherry-picking your Christian values.
Er, try NOT to treat everybody on TOL the same. I don't call people retards. I "do" tell them when I'm better educated or thinking better than they, but I try to even keep that in check. So your 'stop cherry-picking' isn't what I do. In fact, those who treat gay-sexual misbehavior and sin as if it isn't, are the ones that cherry pick. Look at your post and above comments, you, in fact, think some sins are worse and, in fact, think some of them will not condemn a man/woman to hell. Me? All of them. Mark 7:20 Which of us is cherry-picking? Me? :idunno:
Oh really? !!
It rather depends on the individual action.
Some people dishonestly appropriate millions...... I would hate to accept their plea that the action was a hiccup of the heart. But an old lady pushing some asparagus into her bag because she hasn't had any in many months just needs customer care.
I hope you don't work in the reatil trade....
The dead will bury the dead. Matthew 6:25 Do you even read the Lord Jesus Christ, let alone Paul? Where is your soul? You seem incredibly caught in the cares and concerns of this world. I've worked in a foodbank. You? God takes care of people. Those who muzzle the ox are sinning. It is ALL sin, Eider.
I know and follow the Lord Jesus Christ, more than you do. YET I do not neglect Paul either, but follow him as he follows the Lord Jesus Christ.
People concerned about earthly matters, do not keep both commands. There are two. Do both OR you do neither.
Do you even recognize, btw, your own hypocrisy? You push back as good as you get on TOL. You judge men, then, that they are unloving while doing the same thing. Romans 2:1 I try to always see my three fingers pointing back. AT LEAST I'm not a hypocrite (and yet often enough am when I first look
) How about you?
Then you really should show more........ love.
False dichotomy. Just because you don't have love back doesn't mean it wasn't shown.
Think about it: "Get thee behind me Satan!" Nice? :nono: Loving? Yes.
Why? I learned a paradigm I will share with you (if you don't want it, don't take it, its free and in good faith):
John 4:23 "Truth/Relationship" You cannot have relationships that are godly, without truth. You cannot share truth, without relationship though it 'may' build a relationship. I truly appreciate anybody on TOL, as mean as they are about it, if they show me the truth and, importantly, I love them for it. We can coddle and I value it BUT love can be tough. "Get thee behind me, Satan!" was harsh! "Nice" doesn't mean love, though it is certainly part of the fruit of the Spirit in goodness and gentleness. Yet, the Lord Jesus Christ wasn't being wrong when He turned temple-changer tables and whipped men, nor was He wrong in saying "Get thee behind me, Satan!" Harsh isn't always unloving. Scripture says to "BE ANGRY!" "...& sin not," is the afterthought about "Be angry." It is okay to be angry sometimes, Eider. We are to mourn with those who mourn, rejoice with those truly in the joy of the Lord, etc. etc. LOVE those you interact with. Pray for them and pray for a love for them. I did and do for you. Did you for me? :think:
:e4e: -Lon
If it helps, I too hate harsh and don't prefer it, but Hebrews 12:4-13 Nobody likes discipline. Without it, we are illegitimate. Kiwi-ray doesn't like it. He puts me on ignore. TOL isn't for the feint-hearted. It is very much and iron-sharpens-iron prospect here. Such isn't anti-Christian. It is just very unexpected. Other sites do better as far as the gentle approach. Like you, I appreciate those too.

You people will never learn....
Is that what you shout at the alcoholics?
No, and just to help you: you'd normally see quotes around such if that were the intention.
...that's probably what many of the other 3000 Creeds, Churches and Denominations say about your faith.
Nope. Most of us adhere to the creeds that already existed. Do yourself a favor, go online and look up about 20 statements of faith from different
denominations. You'll note they all look the same with little to no variation. Even Kiwi's statement of faith wouldn't be much different. We argue about application of those truths, not the creeds themselves.
I didn't know about this.........
Specialists believe that the Gospel of John was written circa 100-120 AD, so John BarZebedee would have been many decades older than the average lifespan for a Galilean peasant, although I don't know if Galilean boatmen might have had longer lifespans as an average.
But I tend to focus on Gospel of Mark mostly....... just my whim, if you like.
Thanks again for the info.
Waste of time, bible corrector instead of follower. All he was asked was what the last thing said was. Instead of saying "go and sin no more" it wound up being this mess. Ray isn't a bible believer, he is a charlatan bible corrector, internet searcher.
The answer was "Go and sin no more."
