Is Jesus too liberal for Republicans?

@suzianne said
Do you make any distinction between Christians and false "Christians"?

That's a baseless question. Sophomoric at best.

Indeed the scriptures make the distinction. I read the scriptures and believe what they say.

@suzianne said
Usually that is whatever group falls out of favor with the "Christians". Minorities, women, gays, trans now, the poor, the homeless. You know the drill.

How obtuse it is that the "drill" you know happens to be the one you've fallen prey to.

The narrative of the LGBTQ+ crowd, even the ones that claim to know Jesus, has rewritten the script to allow them to engage in carnal lifestyles without conviction, which the scriptures are perfectly clear about in both the Old and New Testaments, of which you seem to have fallen for, and now you appear to be in league with those that have generated a narrative that places blame at the feet of not just those that follow Jesus, but Jesus himself.

God is not mocked. You are in grave danger due to your apparent embracing of heretical teachings.

I get why you might align with Suzianne's brand of Christianity because of the progressive stances you share, but do you REALLY wish there were more Christians like josephw and that it would "make the world a better place"? Have you not been reading his posts over the last decade?

That new avatar(picture), if that's you, doesn't make you look or sound any better than the old one. 🤣

Obviously you think it does and that's why you've made such a gauche comment about it.

Name one false claim.

Every time you invoke scripture you twist it to your purposes by not taking what the Word says at face value, by not giving the proper respect to the writers God has chosen to give us the scriptures. You put yourself above the text, deceiver.

@josephw said
Everything you post is rife with heresy, baring the scriptures you quote, but even the Devil can quote scripture.

I've read everything you've said over the years, and none of it is worth replying to.

Your error has been explained to you.

I have been accused of quoting lots of stuff from the teachings of Christ pertaining to good works and righteousness, and what Jesus said about eternal life. Is that what you call heresy?

You on the other had has condemned what Jesus said about good works, referring it as works-salvation.

I think the heretic is you.

You are a slow learner. You did it with sonship, now her. Sonship was preaching garbage for years and you were here lapping it up and referring to him as a 'man of God' and other such sycophantic expressions, until his true personality leaked through. Same with this woman who is a professed bisexual for years.

When God shared 'insight' into personalities, you were asleep.

Still waiting on an example. You gave one, which I dealt with. Here it is again:

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:21-23 KJV)

You use this passage to claim that Jesus condemns good works. But the passage says nothing about good works.

Wonderful works is NOT good works. These are works of miracles using the power of the Holy Spirit eg casting out devils, prophseying etc as stated in the passage

GOOD WORKS is feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, etc The works that you have condemned

Liar, I've never condemned good works, you just cannot help but speak lies.

Great ! You dont. So we agree. Here in Matt 5, 6 and 7, Jesus gives a long discourse the thousands of people, explaining in detail that doing good works and living righteously will get them into the Kingdom of God, they will be called the sons of God, they will be called children of God, they will see God, they will inherit the earth.

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
(Matthew 5:3-9 KJV)

Strangely, not one word about
- professing faith
- saved by grace through faith
- believing in his death and resurrection.

Instead Jesus condemns those who call him 'Lord Lord', and use the Holy Spirit to do miracles, casting out devils, prophesying and such things. They will not enter the Kingdom of God. This group sounds a lot like church people ... your type.

Im glad you are finally seeing the truth.

Do you believe this bit about the talking serpent being literal?

Here is another interesting brain teaser for Christians, all of which are in the bible
- God is Love
- Love keeps no record of wrongs
- A record is kept of all that is done, in the 'books'
- All people will have to account for their wrongs.

Sounds like you have one.

I am not the one twisting scripture because I don’t like one of Jesus’ Apostles, or ignoring scripture that doesn’t line up with my personal beliefs. Deceitful you are with your half truths and out an out lies!
