Fundamentalist Christianity breeds narcissism/bigotry

[theefaith]

You ask "What did he put in place to teach us His truth?" The Holy Spirit. John 16:13, "But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. For he will not speak on his own authority, but will speak whatever he hears, and will tell you what is to come."

He founded a church Matt 16:18 and commanded the church to teach all men Matt 28:19without error Jn 16:13

You know, sometimes I really worry about you. "She singular" means???

For the umpteenth time, Christ had brothers (and sisters)...

Matthew 12:46, "While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and brothers came and stood outside, asking to speak to him."
Matthew 13:55, "Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother named Mary? And aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
Mark 3:31a, "Then Jesus’ mother and his brothers came"
Luke 8:19a, "Now Jesus’ mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not get near him because of the crowd."
John 2:12, "After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there a few days."
John 7:4-5, "For no one who seeks to make a reputation for himself does anything in secret. If you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.” (For not even his own brothers believed in him.)"
John 7:10, "But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then Jesus himself also went up, not openly but in secret.
Acts 1:14, "All these continued together in prayer with one mind, together with the women, along with Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers."

All four gospels and Acts clearly say that Jesus had brothers! Why are you rejecting the Scriptures? Has your unbelief blinded you?

cousins or he could not be the heir!

is Jose’s His Blood brother?

Matt 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

"The path of becoming a born again Christian involves repentance (turning to God in humility and the realization that you have sinned against Him) clearly applies to others but not to you, correct? Isn't this in your Bible? Matthew 7:1-3, "“Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For by the standard you judge you will be judged, and the measure you use will be the measure you receive. Why do you see the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to see the beam of wood in your own?" It's clearly obvious that you ignore the teachings of the Lord about judgement.

Humility towards God is first, leading to godly sorrow, repentance. And 31 years ago, that happened. My relationship with others did not save or damn me, it was my believing in Jesus, regardless of how dark my sins were, I realized my sins and turned to him.
Now Matthew 7:1-3. Who is judging? I am pointing out what defines moral relativism, as the OP did. It is this person's view which I am explaining. We are given abilities to discern good from evil - otherwise we would just act on impulse and do anything we want. A judgment is found in a courtroom. The conviction comes first (whether guilty or not), then the trial, the evidence, the jury's decision, then the judgment. A judgment is a penalty that the criminal suffers. So now, what judgment did I cast on the OP. Did I send him to Hades, or the Forum Prison to be whipped with a cat of nine tails? No.
So, I have removed many planks from my eyes and I welcome anyone to point their finger at my errors in theology. Iron sharpens iron and so Christians routinely within the church keep eachother accountable.
There is a divide in this country and you can almost always distinguish Right from Left within minutes of talking to them. Now I am surrounded by like minded Christians, although liberals are escaping their corrupt and dilapidated states to come here too.

Our new neighbor moved from Texas to New Mexico be with open-minded, non-judgmental people, the type of people you call "liberals"

Matt 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

I have no idea who "Jose's" is. Also, what's with the apostrophe in his name?

Matthew 13:55 in my NET Bible reads, "Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother named Mary? And aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? So Jesus had four brothers.

Perhaps "Joses" in your Bible is an error?

Open-minded is likened to "wide is the gate" that leads to destruction, narrow is the gate that leads to salvation. Liberals are open to anything: abortion, adultery, foul language, homosexuality, many ways to God such as including other religions, etc. Open-minded ... no thanks.

What are you talking about? The oldest son is the heir in Biblical families.

So stay with your closed mind. The Pharisees had closed minds -- and missed knowing Jesus as the Messiah.

Your description of liberals is bigoted nonsense. No wonder you like Texas!

Amen brother, great post agreed 110%.

 

[amigo de christo]

I was reminding you

it is Christ Jn 14:6 and His church 1 Tim 3:15

Only most who claim to be THE CHURCH are not of THE CHURCH . I keep trying to tell you this my friend .
Many can claim their CHURCH is the CHURCH . But the doctrine and the fruits prove otherwise .
A good long read in the holy bible and then stay planted in it and reading it , Will quickly show one
just how far many churches have indeed fallen . EVEN though they say WE THE CHURCH .

kjv changes Joseph to Joses

is he a blood brother?

my iPhone put in the apostrophe

I suppose your open mind supports abortions, gay marriage, the transgender movement, and you voted for Biden, Socialism, were duped by global warming, and jumped in line for your vaccine? You're just embracing life in the full!

Animal2692,
A narcissist person is a lover of themselves to the extreme. He/she is an idol worshiper ... themselves being the idol, which is completely contrary to the true Christian who "dies" to themselves. A Christian first repents in godly sorrow and realizes IT IS NOT ABOUT ME, IT IS ABOUT CHRIST.
AND Christ did not leave open many ways or religions to God and eternal life. He said I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE, NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME.
So bigotry is a false accusation, a lie created by Satan to attack Christians, a presumed character flaw that the Devil uses to label God's chosen. It is a form of hatred.
Basically Jesus said if you do not believe in Me, you will die in your sins. So Buddha, Mohammad, Shiva, Krishna, L Ron Hubbard, or science, or evolution, or any other religion or philosophy won't save your soul. Your labels are from the enemy. And you are motivated to attack Christians as your enemies.
If you are a true Christian, then it is like picking up a hammer and smashing your other hand. We are all members of the Body of Christ, if you are born again. Frankly it is hard to believe that progressives are.
Did you ever wonder why you are compelled to attack Christians?

This just shows your unChristian bigotry. You lump me with a bunch of people you disagree with, yet you've never met me. BTW, how did it go when you tried to storm the Capitol and over throw the legitimate election of our President?

BTW, I have been vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19, unlike the 1,000,000 Americans who have died as a result of this virus that trump could have nipped in the bud.

Also, unlike yourself, I'm literate. What is "embrasing"?

You wrote "So bigotry is a false accusation, a lie created by Satan to attack Christians." So why are you so bigoted? Are you led by Satan? A Christian first repents in godly sorrow, so why not give it a try?

Your labels are from the enemy. And you are motivated to attack Christians as your enemies. Read your own bigoted, hateful, hypocritical posts.

Since you are a liberal/progressive are you not also in support of what they represent: abortions, gay marriage, transgender crap, socialism, the green new deal, open borders, the NWO? I mean, it sounds like you were against Trump. I said I suppose, which means I lean that way wkth suspicion. You have'nt denied being in that lump. It would be refreshing to hear that you wasted your vote on an independent instead and was against all those things I mentioned. So far you have'nt denied your suport of those key progressive issues.
So you aren't in our lump, which means you are in a different lump. You said you are a progressive. Bill and Hillary Clinton, Obama, Pilosi, Schumer, Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Fauci, the Rothchilds, Soros are all progressives. Are you in that lump or not? I don't put anyone in any lump, they put themselves there.

Your last sentence reads, in part, "I don't put anyone in any lump..." You have "gone off the rails"!

John 9:40-41, "Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and asked him, “We are not blind too, are we?” Jesus replied, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin, but now because you claim that you can see, your guilt remains."

Try reading this until you understand its meaning.
