Barbarian observes:
Then you and Jesus have different ideas about what a Christian does.
Put some glasses on while you observe. Perhaps you won't make the same errors over and over again.
Little girls are not "wicked."
"Born with a fallen human nature and tainted by original sin, children also have need of the new birth in Baptism to be freed from the power of darkness and brought into the realm of the freedom of the children of God, to which all men are called."
You need to go back to Catechism class.
And it's incomprehensible to me why you want to treat them so. You're supposed to be a imitation of Christ.
Show me one place in Scripture where Yeshua tolerated sin.
Rather, you made up a new religion and want us to call it Christianity.
You would be surprised at how many Messianic Jews have distanced themselves from the rest of the Body for their lack of obedience to God's commands.
Well, let's take a look...
Matthew 23:5 “Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries[a] wide and the tassels on their garments long; 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;
I'm completely aware of Yeshua's attitude toward grandstanding. He also said "blessed are those who hunger after righteousness."
So you're a jerk to a little kid, because you want people to see you as righteous.
Your violin is getting entirely too squeaky. You've gone from little girl to little kid. There were no little kids and little girls aren't little anymore when they can show off their attributes and are old enough to bear children.
You've just picked out some parts you think fit your obsession, and made them your religion.
Well, it's becoming pretty clear to me that the faith of Yeshua may not be what you hold to. I owe Resurrection an apology.
Barbarian suggests a Christian approach:...
Barbarian needs to learn it first prior to suggesting it. The blind can not lead.
It would stand for you being a reasonable imitation of Christ.
Okay, next time I'll overturn their tables also
Being a life-long Christian, I'm not impressed by people randomly tossing Bible verses.
They're not random when you stand on them.
You're way out of line on this, and I think you're starting to realize it. This is not what Jesus did, and it is not what He wants you to do.
Actually, I was marveling at why God gave me the courage to stand and thanking Him.
Congratulations.
I was a coach, a boy scout leader, a CCD instructor, and I happen to teach kids for a living. I know kids.
Careful, you're getting a little Pharasaical.
Odds are, she never thought about it, or even heard about the Girl Scouts' policy of non-discrimination.
Odds are she has parents who can't be bothered to teach her Who God is and what He expects of women. I wouldn't be much of a Christian woman if faithful instruction were not on my lips.
A firm faith is built on Christ, not on homophobia.
A firm faith in God and His Son has nothing to do with homosexuality for both consider it perverse and abominable behavior.
They wanted Him crucified. And they got what they want. Until you realize that things such as you did to that girl scout are the things that put Him on that cross, there's no hope for you.
You must not really be Catholic. You have no understanding of the Crucifix. I suggest you take up your cross and follow Him. I think that is the point of this thread...Knight wanted to know just how far we are willing to go in that endeavor. I can understand the atheist opinion in this thread but yours is a bit disappointing.
I feel "hot"!
