It was a not altogether serious question, Lighthouse. You really need to take a tall glass of Lighten Up.

Want me to scooch over a bit for you?

If I stand for mocking the wicked, how do I mock what I stand for, when I mock the wicked? You have no clue what I stand for, because you are projecting your preconcieved ideas of what Christians beleive, onto me. Get a clue! I don't believe what you automatically assume I believe, just because I profess Christ

He said "your sins ARE forgiven." Not, I forgive you, but they already ARE.

What He's intolerant of is sin! All sin, Dave! Wickedness of any kind! For wickedness can not stand in the presence of righteousness! It is utterly destroyed! And Jesus didn't tolerate it either! I will never understand anyone who forgets the story of the temple/den of thieves!:doh:
The woman in question was not misguided! She was committing adultery! And she knew it was worng! The Truth does not tolerate lies! And neither shall I, as I am His and He lives in me! You are a liar! And I will not tolerate you, for it!

If pagans are your friends, I fear for your eternal soul. And don't start on that whole, "Jesus was friends with sinners," bit. Jesus called them to repentance. You don't.

I never said mocking was malicious, as in having malice towards someone. Buty Jesus did mock. And so did John the Baptist, and Elijah. Are you one of those tools that think God's character changed from the OT to the NT?
Dave-
Jesus didn't pick up a rock, because He knew He had no right to, under the law of the covenant of God. Pay attention!:doh:

You actually go out in public?
I agree, it wasn't meant as a rebuke. But was Jesus mocking, or rebukling, when He called the pharisees, "vipers" or "children of Satan?" Was He mocking, or rebuking, when He called the Gentile woman a "dog?" I think the thing we are disagreeing on is whether or not malice was intended.Originally posted by avatar382
Perhaps you have a different definition of "mocking" than I do. Mocking is making fun of someone, insulting them, putting them down, etc. The difference between mocking and rebuke is that the intent of rebuke is to aid, to set straight, whereas mocking is purely negative and malicious.
What Knight was doing to wickwoman was mocking. It served no positive purpose whatsoever. All it did was serve to make fun of her and put her down. It was a malicious act, ie., meant to hurt/harm. Do you realize the difference?

Bottomline, if chest-thumping Christians want to justify the abuse they throw at people, they'll find ways to.
"When they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools." (Romans 1:21,22)Originally posted by granite1010
I no longer consider myself a Christian, a member of the Christian faith, believer in Christ or the Bible.

Nope: Matthew 10:14 says, "And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet."Originally posted by granite1010
Took ya long enough to respond, Jefferson. Figured you'd be all over this thread.
