Atheists and Liberals better than evangelicals

[Earth Wind and Fire]

What I am does not change the fact that you called that a Bible LEASSON when all you did was copy and paste a Scripture.



It is not obvious to all on this forum. Others have commented that I have a point.

Maybe you should learn to read more thoroughly.




Again, you don't read very well. To Convicted I just admitted error. I do it quite regularly because I don't PRETEND to be humble like you and then not actually BE humble. I actually TRY to be humble which means not putting ON that I am humble.

That may be a bit over your head- but you'd be too proud to admit it and not for education enough to DO anything about it.

What a predicament in which you find yourself!



Nope! Wrong again. At least you are consistent.

I JUST finished a post on this thread or the other one like it in which we are discussing this matter where I said to a guy who raised some objections to my view point that he raised some fine, thoughtful and reasonable points.

You see, "old regular," its not me. Its you. I know you can't see it. Pharisees never can. But it is you who is haughty and self-righteous. It's not me. It's you. And the fact that each one of your points here is the OPPOSITE of reality is PROOF that it is you and not me.



No. You are. You embrace and defend stupidity and divorce in the Body of Christ and you say that we ought not even work on it because we are just fine the way we are.

That is arrogance in the highest degree. You are a pompous, self-righteous, arrogant old man who is too old to learn and grow and too pompous to be taught anything.


This from someone whose very post is filled with vitriol and hateful banter.

Do you not SEE what a hypocrite you are?

No, I imagine you do not. Pharisees are only good at killing those who bring needful messages to them. They are not good at seeing the need they have of the messages.



I never said that. But that is EXACTLY what you are saying right here.

You are not like me- this arrogant man you are rebuking. That is what you are saying, right?

You are a genuine, humble old man and you think "Thank God I am not like this young punk!"

Yes. You are the Pharisee in the story.




Translation:

"I thank God that I am not like Luke! I temper my speech with worthless words that will never make a difference and never challenge anyone to improve anything. I fool people into thinking I am a fine fellow when I actually am stuck in my ways and unwilling to grow in knowledge and hate people with all my heart who try to get me to grow. I thank GOD that I have no zeal for the Kingdom and that I just want the church to remain in its slumber until it perishes from our culture. I thank God that I am not useful, that I am not challenging anyone, that I am not willing to receive a black eye for confronting the damnable status quo that is modern fundamentalism. I thank God that I am not like Luke!"

You, sir, are the epitome of a Pharisee.

You have allot of respect for your elders I see.

 

[Luke2427]

You have allot of respect for your elders I see.

Thanks!

Oh don't thank me.... respect is something momma teaches her young in the formative years. FYI, I have asked all my Hard Shell brothers (OR included) to pray for you. Enough said.

I'm not a young Christian. I've been preaching for 19 years. I have been in full time ministry for 14 years.

Wow. Slowwww learner.

 

[Earth Wind and Fire]

Wow. Slowwww learner.

Another burn.

OK off the subject.....your signature says The Lord Hates GAY-NESS.

Define GAY-NESS.

 

[Aaron]

A man wanting a woman's job, or vice versa. :thumbs:

 

[Aaron]

Seriously, the definition of gayness is the corruption characterized by unnatural and deviant romantic attraction.

You should change that. Please do not play by the rules of a sinful world. Instead, "name the darkness."

 

[OldRegular]

WE know that but it doesn't matter to him. Luke is a cal and that is all that matters. Everyone who opposes a cal must be destroyed.

Actually it is anyone who questions anything he says! You are a pastor, how does anyone with his harsh judgmental attitude serve as a pastor?

 

[kyredneck]

You're asking Revmitchell?

(wow)

 

[OldRegular]

(wow)

He is a pastor. If you were an Elder I would ask you!

 

[kyredneck]

"..how does anyone with his harsh judgmental attitude serve as a pastor?"

I suppose that someone that has a harsh judgmental attitude and serves as a pastor could answer the question.

 

[Luke2427]

Grace to the humble, law to the proud.

There is all the patience in the world with people who want to do better.

There ought to be very little tolerance in the bosom of ANY pastor for people who shirk God-given responsibility and accountability.

So how do you know who is shirking & who isn't?

 

[Luke2427]

I am not speaking of specific people. I am speaking of fundamentalism and evangelicalism as a whole.

However... here might be a clue:

The ones who fight most vociferously against the accusation that we need to tighten up are likely giving themselves away.

You've heard the saying, "Throw a rock into a pack of dogs and the one who whelps is the one you hit"?

That comes off sounding superior.

Because he is a modern day Elijah!

I honestly believe the death of conservative Christianity in America may be the best thing for real Christianity in America. And I am conservative. I believe the Bible is the infallible, inerrant Word of God but the sad thing is that most other people who claim to believe the same thing have a faith that cripples the rest of us from making inroads.

But then God had to take Elijah to the woodshed as I noted in a previous post!!

1 Kings 19:1-3; 9, 10; 11-18
1. And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2. Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.
3. And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.

9. And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
10. And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

13. And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
14. And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
15. And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
16. And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
17. And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
18. Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

Good...then everyone on this board views you as acting superior. When multiple people tell ya something, you should listen. But you just need to be right. I tell you this Rick, in all sincerely ... more evil has come into the world by people of righteous ignorance than by people who've intentionally sinned.

It's not wrong to be "right." Once in a while if something works out, that's sure nice. The spiritual problem is the NEED to be right.

 

[Luke2427]

Multiple people tell you that men are the arbiters of their own salvation.

Multitudes tell us that there is no God.

But you just need to be right. I tell you this Rick, in all sincerely ... more evil has come into the world by people of righteous ignorance than by people who've intentionally sinned.

Which is exactly what I think you guys are guilty of.
