John, Izzy,
Terry, Lance et al,
I will not
argue with you guys. I will be taking a break from posting on this
forum; whether this is long-term or not I am not sure. When people
keep leaving Truthtalk because of the judging when will any of you look
in the mirror?
Regarding my
last two posts: I posted what I believed to be an interesting article
(hence the incredible title). I did not make any value judgments or
even claim to agree with the article. I merely thought the article to
be interesting. Secondly, I never stated that Clinton was a Christian
or that he even says that he was a Christian. I put a quote out that
stated he believed he had some sort of relationship with God. I
pointed out that you (the respondents) would use his lying and
hypocrisy in his life as your defense for your own hypocritical
attitudes. All three of you did. Clinton is easy to judge and you
have all jumped on board. I never tried to defend Clinton or give my
own opinion of him or his party. All three of you completely missed
the point. You badgered Lance and I with verses about saying anything
critical about your current president. You claimed we were
anti-American. Your holier than thou attitudes were all on display.
Now those verses mean absolutely nothing to you when speaking of a past
president, one not in your party of choice. When the leader is not one
you like you use your bible in a different way, to judge. All three of
you are loving and Christian-like when it revolves around someone you
would include in Christ. When it comes to anyone outside this rather
small circle (a different political party, homosexuals (Terry’s
favourite), etc.) you put on your judgment hats and go to work. You
think you have a biblical basis to do this. You think it is
Christian. It is called hypocrisy. It is what Jesus hated in the
Pharisees and religious leaders of His day; it is what Jesus hates in
my own heart (I am just as much an offender here).
Lance, I
apologize for leaving you alone on this forum but you know my heart and
the struggles it has been having with the hypocrisy and judging that
this forum feeds on. You know how I have fed on it as well. Thank you
for forgiving me.
John, a man
who commits adultery (even 60 times which of course in Clinton’s case
is hogwash) can still be a Christian. It is no worse a sin than your
own hypocrisy. You have confused moral behaviour with salvation. Note
that I am not claiming that Clinton was/is a Christian, just that your
reasoning is flawed. I expect a lot from you John. You could be the
leader on this forum. Many of your posts express the heart of God. If
only this same heart would beat in love with your political views. The
compassion you had for Judy is completely missing when you speak
politically. The same thing happens with Izzy and Terry. Where does
your love go? Why isn’t Christ allowed there? Why eat from the Tree
of Knowledge of Good and Evil? It isn’t filling, and it won’t satisfy
your hunger for long.
Izzy, you
have a delightful heart; if it wasn’t for politics and the
non-Christian love you display when discussing them you and I would
have gotten along much better. Thank you for your kindness regarding
my illness.
Terry, your
version of Christianity that hates sin AND the sinner is the sickest
and most satanic form out there. Nevertheless, you are still
included. May God help you to love not only sinners but Christians
that sin.
Be safe.
Jonathan
