That the obnoxiuos, condescending people that come of with a holier than thou attitude, that claim to be Christian, do not represent all Christians.
If they offend you, please try to keep in mind that they are speaking for themselves and not speaking for the rest of us.

And may I return the favor and say that the lukewarm, half Christians, and ones who make threads like this one, do not represent Christianity at all.

Bev,
And may I return the favor and say that the lukewarm, half Christians, and ones who make threads like this one, do not represent Christianity at all. Now why would you think that Lance in any way would place you into that category?
Was it the "obnoxiuos" part?
Or the "condescending" part?
Or maybe the "holier than thou attitude" part?
Peace

Lance has done a great deal to repair much of the damaged image of Christians in these forums and elsewhere. To me its not so important what he believes but what he does with those beliefs in his way of expressing them.

Lol, and I just love all the "Christians" who are not Christians to begin with agreeing with him. That speaks volumes.

Try to remind us every now and then because their stupidity and ignorance often putrefy the air that we tend to forget the nature of the stench.

Lance, dont worry Bud, personally I dont look at religion here, I look at people. Religions are my own experiences and I only choose to take the good, the truth and the best but sadly little religion is represented here, just the nauseating ignorance of individuals.
Thankfully the Christianity I have experienced and known is that taught by Christ where individuals have tried to walk in his footsteps not their egos.

"Christianity is not a triumphal march to the Kingdom. It is an emptying of self. This profound teaching of Christian life is very close to Buddhism. Buddhism tries to empty ourselves of a false identity and to come to the world as naked and as crucified as Christ was." Father Robert Kennedy, Jesuit priest and Zen Buddhist Master.
Hmm, seems like someone has the first sentence backward.

Ignorance, the word says, "By their fruits ye shall know them." Jesus said that He spewed the lukewarm out of his mouth.
Jesus said that the world hated Him first and if they hated Him how much more would they hate us. We only have to worry when you guys start liking us and agreeing with us, lol, then we have to worry about our salvation.
By the way, I never said he wasn't a Christian, but that he did not represent Christianity. As to the ones who agreed in here, all the ones I know are not Christians. Sail is a gnostic, Becky is a mixture of lots of things, Yash, who knows what he is, iam is an atheist, and honestly, I don't know what eastham is.
Lol, Lance was the one who started the JUDGING thread.

Thanks for all those kind words, folks.
Bev:

Lance, I gave you scripture, would you like to give me some scripture to support what you are saying.
I remember Paul fussing at baby Christians because they were still drinking milk and not eating the meat of the word, their faith had not grown.
