You then state that, “[Jesus] laid down his life so that sinners like you and I can receive his free and eternal gift”, and yet you refuse to See what that gift actually was (and what it still is to this day) – namely, the indescribable Bliss & almost overpowering Contentment that comes to everyone […]
“His love and [his] justice merge at the cross. There is no greater love”, and yet you conveniently forget to mention that Jesus also told us all quite clearly to “GO & DO LIKEWISE”! (please read Luke 10:29-37) “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and […]
“I would love to share the Gospel of Jesus with everyone”, and yet you refuse to do so – choosing as you do to share Paul’s “gospel” with them instead! Paul’s “gospel” was focused on Jesus (see 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 & Romans 10:9 et al), and this, directly against the clearly stated wishes of Jesus […]
“The words contained in Mathew 7:1-9 are often misinterpreted by people who want to be left alone to live in darkness.” Well, aside from the fact that anyone who is truly walking The Way of Jesus Christ – a Way composed solely of Light & LOVE – cannot ever “be left alone to live […]
“As with everything else, if you take the text out of context, you are left with its contra.” EXACTLY, my Friend! And this is precisely what you & yours are doing in this thread! Indeed, we need go no further than John 7:24 to see that this is the case – as you & […]
“The Holy Spirit convicts and corrects. The Holy Spirit leads us all to truth.” And to this I respond with a wholehearted and an enthusiastic AMEN! It is the Holy Spirit that leads others to Truth, Dan – not you – and not Lucy – and not Bart – and not me or anyone […]
“Jesus is asking us to use careful consideration to what is righteous, and to believe accordingly.” … YES, my Friend – he most certainly is at that! And so the question must now be posed: Just what is “righteous” to you, Dan? *Is bigotry righteous – or even worshiping a bigoted God? *Is […]
“I am not on a crusade to condemn anyone – no one.” That is excellent news, my Friend! Now all that remains is for you to actually walk that noble talk – all that remains is for you to humble yourself enough to heed the words of Jesus Christ and actually STOP condemning them! “And […]
Bart: Scaughdt, if you are not walking in Spirit then you have no sense of the real direction of the Word of God. If you are walking in the flesh the Word will become flesh to you. If you have the wisdom from the Word you will come to know the difference and the true […]
“All of us make judgments, Scaughdt … Some of them are good and some are bad. Some of them are right and some are wrong … We make judgments if someone is driving too slow … We decide which Facebook posts to comment on and which to leave alone.” Yes, my Friend, this is […]
“Where in the Bible does it say to shut your mouth and open your heart?” Seriously, my Friend?!? … Ummmmmm – Well, how about HERE: “Do not judge, so that you may not be judged … Why do you see the speck in your neighbor’s eye, but do not notice the log in your […]
