you know what I mean. where you stake out a position and basically skewer anyone who disagrees with you; facts don;t matter.
the one that is presently bugging me is the gay marriage vs Christianity statements. "How can you disagree with gay marriage if you don't have a problem with adultery, smoking, drinking premarital sex or anything else that could be a sin." As a pro gay-marriage advocate, do you consider yourself a christian? if not, how can you make any statement about people of that faith? Well, what makes anyone think, first off, that someone posting an anti-gay marriage meme is actual um... Christian? They might be conservative, they might be just trolling...that is, getting a charge out of your emotional response.or enjoying the status of bully-where there is nothing you can say in defense. They might not be saved, that is, having accepted they are sinners and thanked Jesus for paying the price so they can be in relationship with God. Secondly. why do you assume they are guilty of adultery or harming the body ( drinking smoking drugs) or any other sin? did it ever occur to you maybe sincere Christians actually are living sanctified and holy lives? No? Salvation is mind blowing. It changes everything. That's a promise to those of you brave enough to actually open a Bible and learn about it. And why do you think anyone who is a convicted sincere christian is not speaking out about all sin issues? Did it ever occur to you that the average church is losing members precisely because they don;t speak more strongly about salvation and sin? that the current feel good christian church that just says God is love, let's sing a song, has nothing to do with authentic Christianity? Methodists Episcopalians and soon now, Baptists, have gay clergy. some will perform gay weddings. the Presbyterian church may, I am not sure, but they also loudly support BDS.That is, they think Israel is a terrible and oppressive country.This rather melds with the churches teaching replacement theory (nothing special about Jews; we now have the blessings) This directly contradicts the attitude we are to have towards the nation of Israel ( after all, we are only grafted branches on that tree.)meanwhile the Catholics are wooing atheists and Muslims, and point fingers only at protestants. As well, the Pope has bought into the climate change agenda. It isn;t exactly christian human or freedom friendly. We have a number of churches teaching only-your best life now. Usually this means they want as much of your money as possible, as the seed is supposed to open God's blessings in your life, but mostly it just gives them their best life now. If apostate Christians are all you think Christianity is, you are sadly mistaken.God's never changed; but we humans think we are so much smarter.... The next time you want to post something mean spirited and pointed, you might want to reconsider;public opinion polls do not matter one whit to God. And to be so focused on supposed hypocrisy,l suspect you really do worry you are a hypocrite too. |
