no what i am saying is if the hurts people like killing people it did
not come from jesus

that's exactly right wonderman

I'm not an argumentative person but can there just be peace in the
religion chat part. Why can't people talk respectfully regarding the
thoughts of others?

YOU started a thread aim at calling me names i got angry maybe I should
have ingore someone like you, but I sin by lowering myself to your level

That’s not true. I started a thread that asked a serious question and
you just assumed that it was aimed at you because you felt the shoe fit.
You hung yourself on that one Wonderman.

THIS IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT:

THE FEAST OF SPRING is in play - please join us, games, campfire
talks, guitars, food, wine, song, poetry. All are welcome.

Sorry for the intrerruption of this thread - please continue!

No assuming about it you use my own poetry against me, not once but
twice.

Thank you Red, I'm on my way!

2 Timothy 2

1You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2And
the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses
entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.
3Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4No one
serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs—he wants to
please his commanding officer. 5Similarly, if anyone competes as an
athlete, he does not receive the victor's crown unless he competes
according to the rules. 6The hardworking farmer should be the first to
receive a share of the crops. 7Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord
will give you insight into all this.

There is noway a true christan bombed an abortion clinic there are crazy
people in this world that claim to be all sorts of stuff so what exactly
did they do or do you know? Was it the Baptist or the Catholics that
supposedly bombed these clinics you dont know do you? I'm just curious
if you can back up you accusations or not I'm sure if you can you will
so lets see it cut and paste any artical you can find to support your
claimes I can always back up anything I claim.

That goes back to page one.........

I'm not sure anybody got my point. My point: Of course its wrong to bomb
abortion clinics. Probably 99.9% of Christians would feel the same way I
think. The whole was being smeared for the actions of the few. Thats not
right either. If it's not okay for one group to generalize it's not ok
for another to do it.

That wasn't directed at you. I just want to see fact of this accusation.

I like what Alphine said

"There is noway a true christan bombed an abortion clinic there are
crazy people in this world that claim to be all sorts of stuff so what
exactly did they do or do you know?"

Abracadabra,

"All non-Christians are baby raping murderers!"

That's a smear. It's an unfari attack against a group of people. Just
like claiming that the "Christian soldiers" are bombing abortion
clinics. My point is that you guys would only get angry about a smear
made against non-Christians, while sororitygurl4life smears Christians
without raising an eyebrow.

"Are we speaking for all Christians when we say that?"

No, I'm saying that you don't give a **** about what sororitygurl4life
said about "Christian soldiers".

What kind of crazy tangent did you go into? I tried to read what you
wrote, but it had so little to do with any coherent thought that I just
couldn't do it. Do you EVER read my posts? Do you think before you
reply? I just don't get how you could read my post and think I support
abortion clinic bombers.

gays, feminist, abortionist should die... i'm not smeering christan's
name.. lol by far there are a lot of great christians, but soldier

Christian soldiers are people who fight the way Christ taught us to
fight, but presenting the truth and quoting the Bible. (ie Wonderman,
BoredChick, me etc) When you talk about Christians who bomb abortion
clinics, you are talking about "crazy people". There are "crazy people"
in every part of the world, with every type of belief.

Where in any translation of any bible did Christ say. 'Go forth and be
soldiers in my name'.

One or two of the disciples might have said that but the Christ?

I think not.

AdventureBegins,

Yep, you are right, it never says that. It doesn't have to, because
Christians understand that when you say "Christian soldier", you aren't
talking about someone with a gun and a bible running around killing
non-believers.

Mark 16:15
-------------------------------------------------------------
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel
to every creature.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Romans 15:16
-------------------------------------------------------------
That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles,
ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles
might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
-------------------------------------------------------------

1 Corrinthians 1:17
-------------------------------------------------------------
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with
wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Spider, question. There was a thread earlier discussing the word
offering in scriptures. At one point, it seemed pretty clear to be that
offering up meant killing. Could not a fanatical type person therefore
take that quote about offering up the gentiles to me, go ahead kill 'em?

Differentkindofwench,

Could you quote the scripture?

This site is host to many of differing beliefs. I, for one, am
delighted that there can be diversity in this world and that there are
so many who would remain civil within that diversity.

Having said that, I can also say this. If one opened a forum ONLY for
those proclaiming to be Christian, and then began to discuss doctrine -
do any of you really believe there would be any more acceptence, or any
less argument? If so, then I can only say, that you would believe
this as a bigot, as a hypocrate, because one Christians views are not
the same as anothers.

What we have here is just as diverse in discussion as a totally
Christian site would be or at least if they were all honest, and I've
been told that's part of the doctrine.

So remember, when you praise the 'diversity' of a fellow Christian, you
may be praising some doctrine that is in direct conflict with your own.
So why not try being as open minded with those whose doctrine, Christian
or otherwise does not match your own.

I KNOW THERE ARE SOME HERE WHO HAVE PROVEN THEY CAN ENTERTAIN DISCUSSION
WITH OPEN MINDEDNESS, This is aimed at those who have not yet learned
how to appreciate true diversity.
