That’s a new one. I don’t think anyone’s mistakenly gone down that path yet. But no sir, I was referring to God and His final judgment of man, of a man. The particular man in that instance being the poster to whom I was replying.

Maybe but it’s the truth.
The reading Trump picked is a subtle jab. If you are familiar with scripture And the nature of this feud you would catch the nuance.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Judge not, lest ye be judged.

Why do you look at the mote in your brother’s eye and ignore the beam in yours?

Is that not obvious? Any real Christian, when told that someone (anyone) is going to rededicate the US as one nation, under God, on our 250th anniversary, should be excited and happy about that. Instead the retard continues to disparage Trump.

He isn't a real Christian and he is simply an anti-Trump retard.

I don’t keep up with all of you and everything you post. I simply reply to what I e read and move on. I know you and I have had a back and forth recently but can’t remember on what specifically and whether we agreed or not. Nothing personal…

What you see often in response to such an obvious set of well-known passages, retorts so obvious that it leaves them completely flummoxed momentarily, is they’ll come back with some version of the safe go-to that they really hope diverts the direction of the “discussion” is they’ll say something like “See! You can’t help yourself but to hurry in here and defend your cult leader!!” When in fact you didn’t even defend any specific person at all, but instead advocated for one side of a debate over judgment of man versus judgment of God, generically speaking at that.

As much as they loathe him, they actually rely on him (Trump) to legitimize all their positions and thoughts.

One is reading scripture that is from God, which by the way is exactly what this nation and every nation needs regardless of who reads it. Humble ourselves and call on Jesus.

The other has put himself in the place of the one that has already come, and defeated sin, and is still alive.
The Old Testament is filled with representations of the one to come and they all failed on their end of the covenant until Jesus. We no longer need a representation to stand in the gap for us, we have access.

You wouldn’t know the difference between a fake Christian and a real Christian. The extent of your repertoire is a handful of canned lines that you lifted off of some other know nothing who was of the same ilk.

I think I'm a "fake Christian" because I pointed out that real Christians follow Christ.

Your “Christianity” can’t be found more than a few hundred years ago and isn’t similar at all to the early Church. I understand that facts hurt your feelings but there’s no reason to make shite up and attack me personally just because you are incapable of a coherent response.

by reading Jewish text and ignoring the Christian gospel?


Jesus talks about and quotes the O.T. a lot. He says the whole O.T. Is about Him

John 5:39 you search the Scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me

John 5:46-47 if you believed Moses, you would believe Me ; for he wrote about Me.but if you do not believe his writings, how can you believe My words?
2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness….

Good. I’m happy for you that you have your own thoughts and opinions on the vast subject. Thanks for sharing. I respect that. Now don’t crumble it up and turn it into trash by pivoting to the assertion that anyone else must conform to the exact same line of reasoning, excepting of course if someone voluntarily joins you in thought and opinion.

The way this whole “thing” sets up is a matter of vast, wide ranging and distinctly varying subjective interpretation.

Whatever it is you hope to achieve for yourself with that, I wish you good hunting.

**Perhaps lead off by trying earnestly not to take something that you don’t necessarily like or agree with as a personal attack, then down the line a little ways if you’re left with no other choice, then it’s there if you must. I’m not personally attacking you.

You as well. Keep reading and studying the early church and the early church fathers. Eventually you’ll settle on Orthodoxy or Catholicism. Best of luck.

Right back at ya… and that goes for most of my Protestant brothers on here…

I think it certainly pivoted into a personal attack but maybe that wasn’t your intent. I don’t take the personal attacks personally. Most of them are well intended and just communication flaws from someone trying to do/defend what they believe to be right.

My question earlier about him being anti-Christian was a legitimate question. I have not read this entire thread. Additionally, people carryover animosity and feelings from other threads so figured it might have been just a history there that I didn’t know about.

I’ll openly admit I do get pissed when I feel people are attacking what I believe to be Christ’s Church. Some are just misunderstandings but a few on here are just disingenuous.
