CIVIL RELIGIOUS DISCUSSION: All things Christianity

[ArcadiaGP]

The oft-forgotten 8th deadly sin

 

[JettaKnight]

You know it's sinful, but sometimes you what to know that one secret doctors don't want you to know about.

 

[Jludo]

Hate of a person is not Christ-like.

Kudos to Kutnupe and Hough

Maybe hate isn't the right word then, whatever was going through christ's head when he was flipping tables.

 

[2A_Tom]

Ignore might be better.

I think you could say he hated what they were doing and was angry at the people doing it....but didn't hate them.

 

[JettaKnight]

It’s not just the non Zionist many groups don’t care for Paul and many scholars point out the differences.

BTW

I am not that serious about the beeswax to push any faith other than my own Joel Olsteen Prosperity preaching.
I hope to make a 100 million one day and never mention Jesus but everyone thinks they are in church!

Brad69 - I think you need a gimmick like Jim Bakker:

[Brad69]

I agree!

Combining survival food and prosperity preaching is a force multiplier!

If Jim Baker can still make a living doing this I have hope !

I have learned from some of the cults not to set a solid time for the end days!

I thought about asking that, do Christian's or atheists hate the prosperity preachers more? Atheist see it as a cynical cash grab. Do Christian's hate them for making the rest of the religion look bad/hypocritical or is it more 'they're bad but they're our bad' ?

There's a certain place in hell for someone pretending to love Christ, but doing so for selfish ambition. (except for Brad69 )

Probably. Jesus himself warned of these sorts of people. (Not prosperity preachers in particular but preachers that would preach a false gospel in general).

Don't forget His warning about worshiping false gods and prophets...... and all the idolatry going on out there.

 

[Brad69]

Being a prosperity preacher has issues with the Bible and challenges with guidance of Christ.

A pastor must have financial integrity — not greedy for gain Titus 1:7, Tim 3:3. A pastor is to be upright in his financial dealings and not accused of pursuing money over the kingdom of God.

NOT A LOVER OF MONEY!

Look at this video and tell me what you see in his eyes?

Does "news" for Orthodoxy mean anything that's happened since 1054?

Well you know, if it ain't baroque, don't try to fix it.

 

[2A_Tom]

Ill bite. Who got caught or who decided that the bible says it (whatever) is good and right.

This is the only thing I can find:

Or this:
https://www.in.gov/judiciary/opinions/pdf/12111901ehf.pdf

Indiana courts trying to resolve an issue of church leadership, where the internal church rules explicitly mention the application of holy words.

It is a long read, but interesting.

If it is ever of use to anyone, I have a motion for summary judgment about the whole "we're a church- gvt. stay out of our business" thing that only needs to be updated with this latest case. Discounted for the holidays.

I personally, like chamber music.

Rack the slide,
Chamber a round.
Sights on target,
and the cymbals go
