Now you have degenerated to childishness...Johnlove said:[SIZE=16pt](Matthew 5:29-30) “If your right eye should be your downfall, tear it out and throw it away; for it will do you less harm to lose one part of yourself than to have your whole body thrown into hell. And if your right hand should be your downfall, cut it off and throw it away; for it will do you less harm to lose one part of yourself than to have your whole body go to hell.”[/SIZE]
Lets look to what else John says...
1 John 1:8
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
My friend, all this talk about sin is to bring us to our knees before God and seek the salvation He provided through Christ.
Then we also have from the same epistle...
1 John 2:1
My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.
Finally what I claim the gospel to be is not opinion...it is scripture.
As it is written...
1Corinthians 15:1-2
1Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
Verses 3-8 explain that gospel...
3For what I received I passed on to you as of first importancea : that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5and that he appeared to Cephas,b and then to the Twelve. 6After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
This is the gospel as it is written and expressed in scripture...this is not opinion but fact. Personal experience is not to be elevated over scripture, this is what you fail to understand as did Mohammad and Joseph Smith. You are being consumed with a false gospel, and your zeal is misdirected condemning the Church.
By the measure in which you judge you too shall be judged. You, my friend, are proclaiming curses and condemnation on the Church. If you do belong to Christ, then you are condemning and cursing yourself. You have been blinded and you do not understand your own folly. Look to what Jesus said to Saul...
Acts 9:4
and he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?"
Do you see how closely Jesus relates to His Church? In your cursing and condemnation you include the Christ. Is this really what you desire to do? Your sin is proven in your thread sinless one.
