Time to go elsewhere...

Hello mailmandan,

I've been traveling to church's for 30 yrs. Not one was 100% born again Christians. Most were there for social reasons, The Sunday school classes contained the most born again Christians., but at some church's Sunday school was a social class. 2 Corinthians 6:14 is about personal relationships; choose your friends wisely. Is every one in your family saved? Do you eat thanksgiving with them.

Jesus said in :

Matthew 5:14 -“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Matthew 5:16 -Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Everyone should know you are a Christian and your good works will glorify God, and your light will shine among people.

That’s the path for the perpetually offended.

That’s how I think.

Who did Jesus hang with? (if you said thieves, you are correct- but also drunks, fishermen, prostitutes tax collectors and sinners) — you know, the deplorable WalMart types.

Deplorable WalMart types? What kind of judgmental comment is that? I shop at WalMart as do my friends.

 

[Jim B]

I suppose the question arises, did he hang with them or did they hang with him?

Both.

 

[Jim B]

What fellowship does light have with darkness?

Christian fellowship.

I previously left one particular Christian forum site because it was turning into the Jerry Springer show - "constant contention, straw man arguments and slander."

It sure goes around!

Much love!

The tongue in cheek type.

 

[Invisibilis]

giving your life for others?

Yes. If I don't then all I am doing is remaining ignorant, and keeping others ignorant, of the truth.

Matthew 10:39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.

 

[Jim B]

The tongue in cheek type.

As opposed to the Christian type?

I suppose Jesus left the planet because there were too many whoremongers, murderers, people with wrong ideas about God, liars, etc etc?

I find it hard to believe that the site owner should be blamed for not having yet found an ad provider with algorithms appropriate for the clientele. Surely no one could think he's feeding us questionable content intentionally. This kind of suspicion used to be known as evil surmising. Today it's just good "Christian" politics. "If it quacks like a duck..." is nowhere to be found in the Bible.

Maybe it's just easier to stomp off than change browser settings or download an adblocker.

I don't get any ads here.

Can someone help with ad blocker on my phone please? Many thanks.

Most who call themsevles christain , aint . this is not a judgment against any , its just the plain truth .
I didnt say all , i said most , least the ones i know .
Its time to bible up , you can truly know one by his or her fruits .
One who lives , as i once did , though i could cliam Christ , and yet loved and embraced MY sin and yet could
still condmen other sins , WAS and IS STILL LOST in SIN and still does not know Christ .
We cannot pick and choose what sins to cover and what sins to expose . NOR can we justify evil behavoir
A lamb dont honor sin every day and justify evil every day . ONE who does so , DONT KNOW HIM .
Cause if they did they would be convicted of their evil and would not day by day by justifying it . YE SHALL KNOW them
by their fruits .

What we have Here is a failure to communicate .

The religious percepts of the time were being challenged by Jesus for receiving socially outcast sinners, and he did not turn them away. Zacchaeus made an effort just to see him by climbing a tree, but Jesus invited himself to his house.

well, or an inability maybe, dunno
“Christ i like, why are Christians so unlike Christ”
