do you have any idea how retarded you sound when you do that?
... don't cha just hate it Aaron?
Please don't bad mouth Patrick. I know I've always found him a good dude.
Otherwise, I recall some years ago almost feeling like I wanted to throw something at the TV set, or do an Elvis shoot the tube, and this was over a minister I much admire and will not name, but he gave a sermon with, as if, an antimatter black hole in it, using Luke 17:3-4 his teaching text. I could not believe what I was hearing: he did not once mention repentance in his entire sermon, and he read those verses entirely without the repent references. This is because his theory was God’s unconditional love, hence that we must willy nilly forgive all evil
Aaron and I go back a long ways here on TOL. Perhaps my fondest memory is when he emailed my late pastor asking if he thought homosexuality should be recriminalized. One of his many sock puppets should be reporting me anytime soon now, so I better make this post quick.
Can you believe that the filthy moral degenerate who was elected as President of the United States stated that he never felt the need to ask for God's forgiveness, i.e. to repent?
I don't know about you WLJ, but I couldn't sit in a church where the pastor (Norman Vincent Peale) said things like this:
"It’s not necessary to be born again. You have your way to God, I have mine. I found eternal peace in a Shinto shrine … I’ve been to Shinto shrines and God is everywhere. … Christ is one of the ways! God is everywhere.”

Disgusting huh?
Don't know about this legislating morality stuff, but yes, quite disgusting.
I also considered the I don't need to repent comment in completely objective terms, that is in the totality of God's word, as if my own Christian experience weren't enough, and coming to the conclusion that's something a real Christian would not say. But, also, I believe nothing a campaigning politician promises, ever: the truth will be in their actions, the fruit they bear, not lip service, and, for my part, I remain very skeptical, expect a fish out of water, flopping around for the Satanic machine, the truth be known, one can only hope flopping less than Hillary. History sort of makes you that way, doesn't it? As to a lot of charlatan preachers out there, it's inexplicable how there are still flies on earth, one would think all the maggots gagged.
Flopping around less than Hillary? So where in Holy Scripture does it say that the (supposed) lesser of two evils is acceptable when it comes to electing political leaders?
You poor babe! Here it’s 2017, and you’re actually expecting an acceptable choice. Look, mister, if you want at shot at those roses, we only carry horse or chicken manure. Of course, like everything on the tube, you won’t find that in the Bible, either.

LOL...just like during the primaries, you fail to condemn the moral degenerate Donald Trump.
Holy Scripture is filled with verses and passages where God sets the standard for civil leaders (and the selection of civil leaders). As shown with your failure to provide an answer to my above challenge, there is nothing that says that those who embrace evil (which Donald Trump does through his strong stance on LGBTQ supposed rights) should be elected into political office.
I think that you are very forgiving towards some of them.....
I could interpret that to mean that a lot of people haven't bothered to work out what they really do believe in...?
Now just suppose a Unitarian popped up and said ,'Hello!'......
Honestly, you are too kind to some.... And what about attitudes towards..... say..... Catholics?
I'm sure that some varying Creeds can cope with each other's beliefs, but others...... Wow!

I haven't had any luck in another thread when asking people to come forward and defend the doctrine of the 'inclusive' (i.e. pro homosexual, pro abortion) Metropolitan Community Church.

Since they call themselves a Christian Church David, through the use of Holy Scripture, you should have no problem showing that they are.
I think you missed my point. I'm not saying the liberal, main stream denominations are biblical.
I was saying you're not going to have much luck getting everyone to stop calling themselves Christians who aren't biblical,...
..Would add that, lashing out at Trump during the campaign would be lending support to Hillary, Einstein. To at least some practical extent, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.
And it’s not wrong to say, “I like this guy more, who at least doesn’t beat his wife as much”
While I don't normally waste this much time with fanatical bigots, I have to admit I am having fun watching you trying to defend one single law out of 517, the others of which you have obviously ignored. Amazing!While I normally don't waste this much time on rainbow flag wavers, I have to admit that I am having fun watching you trying to defend something that doesn't exist:
"liberal Christianity".
You have not quoted a Law! You have quoted a privilege! You do not know the difference. If it was a LAW then Jesus Himself would have followed it.Since you once again refused to answer my above question, I'll close with Matthew 19:4-6 where Jesus talks about His institution of marriage:
4*He said to them, “Have you not read that He Who made them in the first place made them man and woman? 5*It says, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will live with his wife. The two will become one.’ 6*So they are no longer two but one. Let no man divide what God has put together.”
You poor misguided person. God made the Laws of Moses to strengthen, protect, cohese, secure, make safe and keep healthy the Israelites. Every single law helped to do this. Back in trhe day the punishments for breeches had to be extreme or sickness, weakness and collapse would creep in. You have decided in your wayward thinking and unloving prejudice to take ONE of those laws and mangle it into your own twisted mindset. Come into the light and find the truth, that Jesus's guidance, rules and laws never mentioned the law which you cling to as a lost cause. His answers to the Pharisees were always clever, more clever than you ever realised.What shall we call those who mock God's Word and engage in and promote things that He abhors like homosexuality?
No.... the way in which you have discarded hundreds of laws and clung to just one is surely a perversion of the laws of Jesus. I hope that one day you will see the light of understanding and love for all.While they are desperately in need of spiritual and often times psychological guidance, how about until they seek such help we call them what they are:
Perverts.
Have a good day yourself, you Cop Out Christian , and remember that God sent down 613 laws (less the 96 sacrificial) but you know and follow only one. How do you think that keeping that one law will get you to your heaven?Have a gay ole day eider and remember that you're always welcome to come fly the rainbow flag of death over in this thread anytime:
Thankyou for your reply.Possibly. Thought I expect if you could talk some down from whatever emotional state and point out that you both believe Jesus is the only begotten son, come in flesh, crucified for our sins and risen, there'd be a concession that you are both believers. But usually the conversation has ended at this point.
The 'You're not saved!' crowd are truly amazing. As if they will sit upon some bench to judge!Sure, there are lines that cross the salvific issues. But it's pretty common to see people spouting off "You're not even saved!" over issues like free will/predestination or even the pre vs. post tribulation rapture of the saints.
The first shall be last, and the last shal be first.I've known Catholics who clearly aren't saved, and others who, as far as I can tell from discussion, are. Then again, I could say that about a lot of protestants, too.
Oh, that is only chucked by the lost, methinks.Certainly. I wasn't trying to imply that anyone who claims the name "Christian" is saved. Just think that "You're not even saved!" gets thrown around a lot.
While I don't normally waste this much time with fanatical bigots, I have to admit I am having fun watching you trying to defend one single law out of 517, the others of which you have obviously ignored. Amazing!
What ignorance!It's standard LGBTQ etiquette to call someone who defends Judeo-Christian doctrine a "homophobe". Since you've not followed LGBTQ etiquette, it's back to LGBTQ training school for you.
Please........ Just keep to the Laws of Moses, eh? You'd need to be thinking of Leviticus 18:22, which is just as outdated as Leviticus 18:19 if a woman so chooses. Note that it reads 'a woman' and not 'a wife'.Regarding sexual sins (fornication, adultery, homosexuality, incest, polygamy, bestiality, necrophilia).
God found the subject important enough that He set the standard for human sexuality early on in the Bible (Genesis), and as shown in my earlier posts, He continued to talk about it in the New Testament.
See? You're learning, slowly. But that was back in the day.................. and for those who engage in unnatural sex acts, He brought forth diseases that would let them know that they're doing wrong.
I don't have any issues with Him. He may well have with me of course, but then He may well have issues with..... you, for breaking his first rule! If you need me to tell you his first rule, just ask.Like all defenders and promoters of immoral behavior, your issue is with Him, not me.
I don't have any issues with Him. He may well have with me ....

I'm more interested in Leviticus 11:41 really, which was just as important a law as any others, back in the day. Don't eat worms/larvae found in fruit. See? Breaches of these laws could cause sickness, or spread illness through the whole tribe, just as it did with the Canaanite nations..... which is why any of its folks had to be put to death Deut 20:16. It was all about protecting and keeping well the Israelites.
You've turned the Laws of Moses into 'the Gateway to Hell' when in fact their abuse was a gateway to sickness and weakness...
He doesn't expect us to be perfect, merely perfected
in Christ
No I didn't. Please don't stuff your Instutionalised Indoctrinations at me. I know what it meant.(Pssst, you took Deuteronomy 20 totally out of context, but that's what your kind does:
Yeah..... Heh... that's you!The LGBTQ movement just loves to use Jewish dietary laws when talking about homosexuality, in fact I noticed that you use the lame attempt at an argument in several posts (for some reason I just don't compare eating a nice shrimp dish with the disgusting act of homosexuality, but hey, that's me).
Not just Gays....... anybody with a heart and a brain will think the above.We get it that most gays think Christians who oppose homosexuality on biblical grounds are hypocrites.
Jresus didn't say that in His New Covenant...... what they do sexually is an abomination to God.
Ha ha! And you accused me of misquoting 'out of context' earlier!But there been some updates that the shrimpologists may not be aware of. Both of the menu updates are from Jesus.
And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Mark 7:18-23 ...
Love it! I never clicked that some Christioans will duck in to and out of the Old Covenant to suit their needs. They ALSO can duck from Spiritual to Physical and back, just as suits their twisted distortyed purpose?1. Jesus issued the update over 2,000 years ago. He said its not what type of food a man eats that defiles him, its the wickedness in his heart.
Joppa!2. In Acts, Christ tells Peter, his main Apostle to the Jews, via a vision that God when God declares something clean, it is clean. The analogy of the food was a very powerful one for Peter an Apostle to the Jews who couldn't eat banned foods.
Source! Where's the Source????3. Twice, we have clear evidence from Jesus himself (not a third party) that food is not the issue and what food was unclean is now cleared for consumption.
You've got to stop doing this....... if I am caused to wee myself or convulse through excessive laughter then just think of how remorseful you will feel.4. There is no evidence, no words, nothing implied, anywhere in the New Testament absolving homosexuality as clean or acceptable to any person. It is still unclean, abominable and unacceptable to God in every context. No law or decree about homosexuality was rescinded by Christ except that instead of deserved death, now the homosexual was welcome to come to God and find freedom from his sins.
I do like my shrimps, thankyou. And I collect huge oysters out on the free-ground quite regularly, BECAUSE THAT LAW WAS TO PROTECT THE ISRAELITES WHEN MEDICINE COULD NOT SAVE FROM 'SHELLFISH P{OISON PARALYSIS'.Having said that, please stop denying yourself the deliciousness of some cajun fried shrimp or some incredible shrimp scampi because you didn’t get the update memo.
Well then, stop sinning with your all devouring hatred. Come into the light of love and understanding.God doesn’t hate shrimp, He hates sin.
What....... come and play with you?There are 200-300 daily viewers that would love to see our discussion in my "Why Homosexuality MUST Be Recriminalized! Part 4" thread eider, are you sure you don't want to come over and play?
