ARCHIVE: Hello. (funniest "hello" thread ever!)

[red77]

Well... as they say.... if you don't like the way this place is run don't let the door hit your.... (you know the rest).

It's not about how this place is run, its got nothing to do with that, but arent we as Christians supposed to show the fruits that draw others towards faith? patience, kindness, self control? Am I wrong to believe that We as Christians should try to rise above pettiness and insulting behaviour?

While I may not agree with what they've chosen to do, they're still people, and, to me, are still deserving of love.

You are a sick disgusting pig.

You love people who molest little kids????? :vomit:

I love people in general.

It's just their actions that I may not agree with. And no, I don't like molestation.

Jesus wasn't a hippy like you think He was.

Jesus was harsh when it came to wicked people.... Jesus was the "Rock of offense" (Romans 9:33) in other words He was highly offensive.

But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. - Matthew 18:6

There are dozens of similar examples in the Bible.

Jesus affirmed that homosexuals get what they deserve and He also affirmed others deserve even worse!

“But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you.” - Matthew 11:24

Even the Devil can quote scripture to serve his purposes.
All your quotes say is that offenders will suffer eternity for their crimes, it DOES NOT say that you should hate them.

Should we punish child molesters or should we punish molestation? :think:

 

[JadeTigress]

I never said that they shouldn't be punished for what they've done.

Parents punish their children when they do something wrong. But they still love their children, n'est-ce pas?

You make sense for the most part. But do you think that the Lord would approve of your hate speech? He doesn't approve of the homosexual lifestyle. He says that they shall parish, but He also states that you are love him no matter what.

Classic verses from the bible.

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself - Lev 19:18

And walk in love as Christ also hath lovers us... - Ephesians 5:2

It is said you are to love everyone. Don't hate someone because they are gay. Their punishment will come in due time.

Psalms 139:21 Do I not hate them, O LORD, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? 22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies.

Yes... I hate child molesters and rapists. I hate them with a perfect hatred.

 

[Nathon Detroit]

It is said you are to love everyone.

Actually you are dead wrong.

Loving EVERYTHING is wicked.

God says....

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor [hate] what is evil. Cling to what is good. - Romans 12:9

 

[Fnord5]

Psalms 139:21 Do I not hate them, O LORD, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? 22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies.

Yes... I hate child molesters and rapists. I hate them with a perfect hatred.

I am not even going to point out the arrogance and irony there.

Excellent retort! :chuckle:

Psalms 139:21 Do I not hate them, O LORD, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? 22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies.

Yes... I hate child molesters and rapists. I hate them with a perfect hatred.

But you would still wish them to repent and come to the faith though right? They arent unredeemable are they?

 

[Nathon Detroit]

But you would still wish them to repent and come to the faith though right? They arent unredeemable are they?

Absolutely, that's why they should be confronted.

You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him. - Leviticus 19:17

 

[Nathon Detroit]

I never said that they shouldn't be punished for what they've done.

But why punish them if it's only their ACTIONS you disagree with?

It's just their actions that I may not agree with.

Then I agree, rape and molestation should never be tolerated and always confronted, however we are called to love our enemies by Jesus himself, to bless those who persecute us, easier said than done its true but then that should one of the marks of the faith IMO

 

[JadeTigress]

But why punish them if it's only their ACTIONS you disagree with?

To help them, and hopefully they won't do it anymore.

Oi...sometimes I think I'm more of a Christian than some Christians...and I'm a witch.

 

[red77]

But why punish them if it's only their ACTIONS you disagree with?

But people ARE punished for their actions, not for being who they are....

 

[Nathon Detroit]

To help them, and hopefully they won't do it anymore.

But you are punishing THEM and not their ACTIONS. :idunno:

Remember, it was you who said.... "It's just their actions that I may not agree with."

 

[Nathon Detroit]

But people ARE punished for their actions, not for being who they are....

God says...

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. - Proverbs 23:7

We are who we are, you cannot separate us from our actions. Our actions are what define us.

 

[JadeTigress]

But you are punishing THEM and not their ACTIONS. :idunno:

Remember, it was you who said.... "It's just their actions that I may not agree with."

Exactly, and if you punish them and help them to realize that those actions are wrong, they might not do them anymore.
