If you are on this list and you repent of your heresy, or if you find my categorization of your beliefs is in error, just post and let us know.
If you feel someone needs to be added to the list, either post or PM me. In order to speed things along, if you can post a link to one of the offending party's posts reflecting their heresy, that would be greatly appreciated. Also, a person must have a decent amount of posts and have been around for a few months at least to be considered for the list. I don't want to throw every one post wonder who wanders through here onto the list. After all, this is TOL's list and if the person isn't a regular visitor, they don't make the cut.
Thanks for any help or feedback.

Which words and in what context. I vaguely remember your username but don’t remember your theological bent

Jesus is risen from the dead.Jesus was a Galilean preacher in the first century.
This is a statement of FACT.
Jesus was divine.
This is a statement of FAITH.
I guess I am a Christian in exile.
I beleive Jesus said:
--Love your enemies
--Give to everyone who begs from you
--Pray to the Father in secret
--Do not judge
--“Why do you call me good? Only God is good.”
--“The Father makes his sun to shine on the evil and the good and sends his rain to fall on the righteous and the unrighteous.”
--“Friend, who made ME a judge over you?”
--“Go and learn what this means: [God] desires mercy--NOT sacrifice.”
Believers rarely acknowledge these sayings.
In fact, many of them even know they exist.
So they call me a rude or judgmental name and go on their way.
Jesus is risen from the dead.
This is BOTH.
If Christ didn't rise from the dead, then Christianity is a huge fraud, and Christ's Resurrection is a diabolical hoax, perpetrated by His Apostles, who had concluded a suicide pact among themselves (Judas dedicated it). If you don't believe in Christ's Resurrection as nonfiction historical fact, let alone that Jesus of Nazareth raised Himself up from the dead, then you belong on a list of those who are in some one critical way, not Christian.Many people were said to have risen from the dead. There’s historical evidence that shows this.
There is no rational truth for these events to have happened--even though they have been written about in ancient texts.
Did Jesus rise bodily from the dead?
Did Muhammed go to heaven riding a gigantic white steed?
Was the Buddha born walking, talking and preaching?
These three events were all written down and were literally believed in by many.
So they must be true, right?
Caesar Augustus was actually known as Lord, Savior of the World, Son of a god and Redeemer.
Are you aware that these exalted terms were carved into the stone of the buildings and temples of ancient Rome?
Did you also know that these exact phrases were stamped on the coins as well?
Jesus is risen from the dead.
This is BOTH.
The only people on the list are those people that do not agree with the heresies of Mid Acts Dispensationalists.What about those who quote Jesus’ actual words and teachings and get called “the Devil?"
Well of course, just like "some people" claimed that Augustus was Caesar. All we have is what people claimed, unless there's some physical evidence. As far as that goes, fwiw, we've got the empty tomb (within the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem; 'sepulcher' means tomb).But to be honest, one would have to say “Some people claimed Jesus rose from the dead.”
It is a faith claim because of the Christian faith being based in Christ's Resurrection. It is also a statement of fact.It has to be a faith claim.
The only authentically Christian view is that He was dead, and then He was alive again.None of the gospels describe it actually happening. Resurrection in ancient times did not always mean resuscitation.
There is no greater hope than the Christian hope in resurrection. imo. You're free to your own opinion of course, as am I.Whenever we literalize a sacred metaphor, we forfeit its great claim and hope.
Neither in mine. I was echoing the Apostle Paul in saying that if Christ's Resurrection is a hoax, then and only then, but definitely then, Christianity is a fraud. But I don't believe that Christ's Resurrection is a hoax.Christianity is hardly a fraud in my view.
Because He is risen.Jesus died and his power and presence were yet still felt by his followers.
That the Christian Bible says that if Christ's Resurrection is a hoax, then Christianity is a fraud.What’s the big deal?
Rome wasn't even playing the game. Rome was a pawn in the game.Rome did not win.
Because of Christian faith in Christ's Resurrection; founded upon Christ's Resurrection being nonfiction historical fact.Death did not win.
The only authentically Christian meaning, is that He was dead, and then He was alive again.The powers and principalities are defeated.
Jesus already saw “Satan fall like lightning from heaven.”
It’s helpful to find out what the term “resurrection” actually meant in Jesus’ day.
Jesus was a Galilean preacher in the first century.
This is a statement of FACT.
Jesus was divine.
This is a statement of FAITH.

The question is....why did Jesus say all those things? So that we would STRIVE and strive to TRY and do them, or that we would trust in Him to do His work through us and in us.
Matthew 11:28
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Jesus said these things because he was a radical usurper.
Conventional wisdom said that the good prosper and the evil do not.
God is not corrupt or unclean.
Revenge is encouraged and violence is redemptive.
With his parabolic teachings and the short, pithy sayings, Jesus turned this convential wisdom upside down.
His teachings dislocated the accepted reality of the world.
