The Destruction of American Freedom, Liberty, and Captialism

What did Jesus say to some "religious" types in his day? "That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you." Isn't it the same today? As Solomon said, "There is nothing new under the sun."

I just am one of those STRANGE creatures who doesn't do mainstream Christianity... I will not place myself in a religious box of labels and definitions... My heart is to LOVE the lost and the broken... the unloveables of the world. I don't do the Pharisees well at all. They don't like me either... LOL

Hahaha... Ye anyone who is old enough to have enjoyed the original Star Wars movies is "old school".
I think I draw the line now at the age of 40, your old school if your older than 40

I'm old school by 8 years

I have mixed moments, sometimes I would like nothing more than to sit with another Christian and have a chat over coffee, or tea. My children and I have some good debates - and Dan ( my son who lives with me ) and I do find some common ground and agree on many things x

@Rita Good that you have each other, anyway, in times such as these.

I think that's what's really behind much of the angst from evangelical Christians in this thread....the days where they could force everyone, even non-Christians, to abide and live by their beliefs are largely over. I suppose though in one sense, seeing Christians wail and gnash their teeth during the transition to a post-Christian society should be expected.

To an oppressor, being stripped of the power to oppress is oppression.

The only Pharisees today are the Talmudist Jews.

I'm sorry if you were not able to read into that statement.

I was able to read into that your accusation against Christians whom you may consider "Pharisees". But that is a MISAPPLICATION of the word "Pharisee".

Thank you for grading my post. LOL I did not realize that was a free service.

You can look forward to the same in the future at no cost. Whether you learn any lessons will be entirely up to you.

The problem is you won't find me arguing scripture... so if you want to pick apart what comes from my heart and my writing style.. then go for it.... however... it is a strange hobby.... I am accountable for my words... and whether I mis-use a word or not... I think it is rather on the RUDE side to dissect other's writings. But whatever floats your boat.

Why would it be considered rude -- rather than a help -- to correct someone? If you were in a classroom would you consider it rude for your teacher to correct you?

Is this a serious question?? OH my goodness...
