Dogs

[Spitfire]

I think it's silly when people act like dogs and cats are people. Especially when they hate children and then treat dogs like children. But idolatry? Seriously? Companion animals should remind us that God loves us.

Speaking of oneself in third person is odd.

Spitfire sometimes enjoys illeism as well.

Go and do a study on the term idol and idolatry.

Go pet a dog and honestly ask yourself if God was offended.

Truster, do you eat pork?

 

[Saved.One.by.Grace]

Truster, do you eat pork?

Wouldn't that be like cannibalism for Truster?

 

[serpentdove]

What I hate is people like you who prefer to mock piety in favour of idolatry.

...And this would perturb you.

When an individual makes his personal preferences another's obligation it's called legalism. lain:

Adrian Rogers spoke with a couple at their home and noticed that they treated their dog over and above with TLC. He commented they showed such love to their animal--what a shame it was that they didn't have a child to pour all of that love into. The wife left the room in tears. The husband told the pastor that they did have a child and he died. The reason they treated the dog so lovingly was because their child loved that dog. They believed that loving the dog was a small way to honor the memory of their son.

And this you would find this simply intolerable.

I don't find it in keeping with Acts 20:20 and I find your particular flavour of hypocrisy vile.

:doh: Moron.

 

[Huckleberry]

Oh, the idolatry! :shocked:

Polka dots aren't profitable?

 

[serpentdove]

I've never seen anyone hate dogs as much as Truster. The only others I know of are cats and Muslims, and I doubt he's a cat.

Is that it? :think:

I used to breed and train German Shepherds. I was as much a dog lover as anyone on TOL if not more so. I was then converted and my love is now directed elsewhere.

I have been where you are, but you couldn't possibly imagine what happens when a man is saved.

Converted to what?

The Messiah laid down His life for the people He cares for Delmar.

Amen
