“True Christians”… nice phrase.If you do not like... CHRISTENDOM, then WHY are you HERE ON A CHRISTIAN FORUM??
If I was admin, you'd be banned immediately just for making that above statement, so you should be glad I'm not the admin. here.
BEWARE BRETHREN OF THOSE WHO SPEAK AGAINST CHRISTENDOM:
It's easy to come here and just put the Christian label on one's avatar, but some that come here are NOT true Christians, but come here to push chaos and HATRED against Christianity!
True Christians will not support the killing of their brothers in other lands (John 13:34,35). Or anyone. - Matthew 5:44
And yet, that is what the majority of Christendom has done since their inception, with Constantine the Great!
As Christians, we should be hated by the world (John 15:19,20), for this very reason! Certainly not join the world, ie., be “of the world”, during its wars, supporting such endeavors!
What’s the history here?
Catholic historian E. I. Watkin acknowledged: “Painful as the admission must be, we cannot in the interest of a false edification or dishonest loyalty deny or ignore the historical fact that Bishops have consistently supported all wars waged by the government of their country. I do not know in fact of a single instance in which a national hierarchy has condemned as unjust any war . . . Whatever the official theory, in practice ‘my country always right’ has been the maxim followed in wartime by Catholic Bishops.”
(Is it painful? It should be if we have an honest heart.)
But it’s not just been Catholics…
Protestant clergyman Harry Emerson Fosdick admitted: “Even in our churches we have put the battle flags . . . With one corner of our mouth we have praised the Prince of Peace and with the other we have glorified war.”
What does James 1:27 mean? To “keep oneself without spot from the world”?
i don’t say this to spite, or to hurt; just to open the eyes of those who are honest & humble. At 2 Corinthians 6:17,18, Paul quotes God as saying, “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”
And I’m sure that God doesn’t put blame on the flocks who are misled. But rather, their leaders the clergy. They should know better.
There are many Christians who are obedient to Christ.
This is a lie!A former JW has told me that the JWs secretly hate Christians
We love all people, and just hate the ways they are misled.
It’s one reason why we go from door to door, following Christ’s example (Matthew 10:12,13; Acts 5:42), spending our time and gas. Yeah, we get a lot of doors slammed in our faces.
“A former JW”… that says it all!
(I appreciate your honesty with that.)
