    IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP

    Fish do not exhibit the image of God. For now, they certainly can, but God will not hold His anger forever and Christians are bidden to warn others to flee from His wrath to the degree and extent to which they also have freedom of choice. Who is denying people any such benefit? .

    IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP

    I knew you would want to say that but I didn't think you actually would. I do confess I thought it would at least be more maturely expressed, somehow. The last time I witnessed someone issue a challenging statement beginning with the words "I thought you..." people were still buying B&W TVs...

    IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP

    I think it escapes the notice of many that God is capable of a kind of hate that is almost entirely elusive to human beings. God never hates without simultaneous love. The flood that killed countless sinners also kept sin from bringing the race to extinction. The fire that consumes will one...

    IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP

    I have a hi-def copy of the clip. I went looking for it because I wanted to make sure I wasn't being buffaloed by extremists. Some amateur lip-reading reveals different marchers actually chanting different things, but the only two I could make out were the one most often quoted and something...

    IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP

    I'm always here, J. You have my number. For clarification's sake: Christians warn sinners to flee the wrath of God which is limited to temporal consequences and His deferred executive judgment. Violent fanatics who call themselves "Christians" quote Scripture and urge their flock to kill...

    IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP

    ...unless those who are being marginalized and hated are Christians, who know the difference between: a) warning others to flee the wrath to come; and b) presuming to administer that wrath prematurely-----even if violent fanatics who call themselves "Christians" and scoffers at God's Word don't.

    A Cranky Old Man

    Before I lost a bunch of weight the little ones all thought I was Santa Claus at Christmastime - lol. Now I just look like this guy:

    I think I finally lost my faith

    The Amplified Bible might be helpful to you. https://www.biblegateway.com/reading-plans/beginning/2023/10/02?version=AMP https://biblehub.com/amp/matthew/1.htm It's so easy to give advice. But, truthfully, things have to be worked out between individuals and God.

    You can't even say it, can you?

    IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP

    I wasn't offering. It's a hypothetical. Certainly not me. I have an obligation to warn about certain things. You don't have to agree. Again, hypothetical.

    IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP

    The title has never been changed. Of that I am sure and I think I could get a staffer to verify that. Not sure why it matters, tho. I've already addressed this. I can't wait until I'm without sin to address the topic of sin being depicted as righteousness by Christians. The ultimate solution...

    IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP

    I hear you but you're basically just being evasive here, Matthew. I know I've been guilty of anger without cause many times. I don't think that's the case here. I don't know how to hate a hypothetical human being. And I don't hate anyone here. Is mutual consent the trusty mitigator of duty to...

    IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP

    What if one person wants to be murdered and the other agrees to do it willingly? Mutual consent is the Great Mitigator of God's commandments, right? All behind closed doors, of course. :)

    IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP

    I get the strategy aspect but on an individual, intellectual level I honestly don't know what's with all the heavy denial, anyway. Isn't this what is wanted? How else are these folks going to "teach" our "children not to hate?" It's just like the promise from postmodernist academia 20+ years...

    Removed Thread.

    What would be nice would be if someone created an "appreciate" button or something like that. I often want to show my appreciation for a post while not feeling comfortable with bestowing a -like- upon it - lol. I've experimented with the -loveeyes- button a little but it doesn't seem to be...
