But not as important as pumpkin pie!

At least partially correct. If a person were really and continuously seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness I do not believe he would confuse the two things.

Some people also often seem to confuse being a Christian with being a patriotic American. While the two may overlap at times, they are most definitely not the same according to my understanding.

@kcnalp What is with the condemnations so freely given? For one so strongly against anyone who even suggests that mercy might not apply, how is that you are allowed to apply a condemnation without seeing people's hearts? Do you then have all of the facts that God has about each one of us...

Praying!

Amen!

I do not disagree. I made lots of decisions on my secular job over years which were legally binding on people... but never as to whether a person should live or die in the flesh. I would not want the responsibility for such a decision. Neither would I want to tempt God. "...not as I will, but...

What is to be done with the rest?

The only black and white answer is God's. When He shares it with us then it should be ours. When He does not, proceed with caution indeed... or perhaps back away. Not being a judge of men nor a member of a jury, I really am able in most cases to do that. "And he said unto him, Man, who made me...

You should read more carefully.

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your...

Amen!

Also joining in prayer for you sister!

Who is innocent? Some certainly have been forgiven by God and some by men, but does that make them innocent of the crimes which they have committed against God and men? "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Rom 3:23

Yes, but what has God given to all men? The authority to choose God's and His Way... or not! That men in their government have been given the authority does not mean it should be misused. In the case of Naboth it was misused and likely in various cases today in the courtrooms of men it has been...

You keep on speaking of accusations. Even if they really existed, how meaningful are they? Of what did they accuse Jesus? How did he answer them? I speak only of charity. Talk to God about that if you will... for without it what is knowledge anyway? "And though I have the gift of prophecy, and...

I do not believe I accused you. I responded to your post simply suggesting a better way to deal with people in accord with what I believe is God's Way. Your final sentence presumes that JWs and LDS members are not Christian. You may find such a presumption in violation of the forum rules when...

Two things before you speak against another person's way of follow God that a I would suggest. One, is to be certain that you are right [remember what Solomon wrote] and two, is to be certain that God really wants you to speak! "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth...

Even so! Men will misuse the law to stifle justice... to get their own way. We should remember what Jezebel did to Naboth [I Kings chapter 21]. Naboth was innocent of the crime with which he was charged, but using the letter of the law which God gave to Moses, Jezebel brought false witnesses...

People very often like to be on a 'good' side, which perhaps they will call the "right" side, but what and where is that? This church or that church or my church? It seems to be much easier to criticize or tear something down than it is to build from the ground up or edify. Just about any of...
