Yeah, the angry SOB in the sky kind of lines up nicely with a lot of what's in the bible.
I just chuckled about the scene from History of the World Part I where Comicus (Mel Brooks) is doing his schtick for the Emperor (Dom DeLuise): “Those Christians are so poor ( “how poor are they?”) that they have only one god!”

I haven't said anything about how I, or anyone else should follow Jesus, but it makes sense that you would try to be as decent as possible.

This whole discussion started when Cleets said that in America, many people were able to simply say they were Christian. I agreed, but said that I hoped the bar would be at least to accept Jesus in order to call yourself a Christian.

According to the Bible, no man or woman can by themselves, meet the 600+ laws that God requires you to keep, in order to be in His presence. Only Jesus was able to fulfill all those laws and then gave everyone who wanted to accept Him a chance. If you don't want to accept Jesus, that is your right, but then you aren't Christian then either.

As to how I live? I'm pretty easy going, so that helps, but consistently look at myself and wonder if my actions are consistent with being a decent person. Often refer to myself as the worst of Christians because I realize how far I fall short each day. Daily I'm reminded that I couldn't meet the 600+ law standard and am grateful Jesus did it for me. So, as someone who is grateful, I try to do the right thing.

For example, I still have trouble with that internal monologue that screams out at the guy staring at the green light, three cars up, saying "go fucker!"

That's why I often jokingly say that the day I get that under control will be a big step for me in removing the board from my eye.

To your point though, where does God draw the line as to who gets in and who doesn't?
SG, I reread my post and it would appear that I was talking about you literally and that was not my intention. I was talking about the 1 day a week Christians and it was not intended as it might have been read. Sorry!
No worries. I saw your comma, plus I pretty much agreed with what you said.

this president chose to do something that Republican politicians have been hesitant to do in the past. He punched back. And it has driven the media into removing even the thinnest veneer of professionalism or impartiality. That the media no longer disguises their hatred of America and Americans is one of the president’s great public services.

Unfortunately, even at that, the media still matters. At least half of the country live in a media-induced fog and are oblivious to the stories that the media blacked out in the interest of protecting Democrats. This is also why justice rarely visits Democrats.

Well, JBB, do yo favor “the living word” or not? In your first paragraph, you lump it in with “blasphemy.” In your second paragraph, you pull a 180.

Maybe he’s conflating living word with living document?

I know when I think of the money changers I instantly think of human traffickers acting under the guise of sanctuary and welfare to make their fortunes... :?

JBB appears to be simultaneously attacking the Creflo Dollars of the world along with the Unitarians. :? :?

2020 Democrats’ Home Towns Resettled Only 0.22% of All Refugees in Last Decade
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020 ... st-decade/

2,000 of them within 1/2 mile of my house on the way. The town they are giving away used to have a population of 21,000. Over the past few years they have added about 5,000 African muslims that are almost totally dependent on human services. They call it immigration and/or refugee “resettlement”.

Image

The bankers, with specially constructed “loans”, build brand new buildings for them where they pay no rent you do. The agencies are paid huge sums by “the head” to traffic them in. You pay for their groceries and their first dollar medical coverage they are “entitled”. You pay for everything they do. They bring over their older relatives that begin to take social security checks coming out of your paycheck. We need multiple languages and muslim prayer rooms in our schools where you are arrested if you say a Christian prayer.

It’s really human trafficking. Those doing it profit mightily. The rest pay.
refugee contractors include:

Church World Service (CWS), Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC), Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM), Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), International Rescue Committee (IRC), U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI), Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services (LIRS), U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), and World Relief Corporation (WR).
We are definitely white flight out of this shit hole of liberal greed and blasphemous churches serving themselves.
Kool-Aid Introduces New Pre-Watered-Down Fruit Punch For Church Functions
The punch comes in 96-ounce, 192-ounce, and even 600-ounce varieties, for those long, Baptist luncheons. Kool-Aid says the punches are already a huge hit for children's ministries, where they are consumed by the bucketload along with stale Goldfish crackers.

Sadly.

I haven't followed the Catholic news lately, did Pope Frank allows priests to marry in South America ( I think that's where they're going to test it)?
