That doesn't seem very Christian like, disinviting others from joining you in your Christian activities?

Christ didn't disinvite people... he welcomed the sinners.

@Viper She's among the most non-Christian Christians you'll run into.

@Graylight no only to you liberals. You think that our directive to love everyone means we must accept homosexuals. That are directive to care for the poor means taking in people who break immigration laws

@Mountainlady16 Don't sell yourself short. You are the least Christian person in attitude and belief in literally every front there is. Not just sexual intolerance.
Mountainlady16 · 22-25, F
@Graylight oh because I don't follow the modern day accept everyone dont step on their toes less you offend someone church view

@Mountainlady16 No, but you don't follow the Jesus Bible either.

Jesus didn't mind pissing people off to state something is a sin. That you have in common with him, maybe more so than the modern church.

But Jesus STILL accepted all of the sinners, and went out of way to welcome them and show them acts of kindness, such as washing their feet, which was seen as act far far far beneath him, as it is what a servant or slave would have to do, but he did it willingly anyways as a show of good faith and caring.


Your view of that is much much MUCH more political than it is biblical.

And if you look at the US political views, neither is following Jesus political believes, so they're a horrible leader if you actual want to follow the Bible.

@Viper Jesus washing people's feet was his disciples not random sinners. Because I don't want to sit down with a homosexual and have a meal or have them attend my church or their kids attend my kids school isn't about hate. Would you want to sit down with a murder or rapist or expose your children to their influence. In my opinion its the same thing.

@Mountainlady16 I never said it was about hate. It's about your comfort level, I get that, and we all want to be comfortable.

But we're not talking about sitting down directly with them... nor just the murders and rapist.

You have dis-invited all non-believers from Christmas and Easter activities...

That includes even the innocent ones that just don't happen to believe or maybe weren't exposed to Christ growing up.

And that's not in person, that's throughout the interwebs where they could be 1,000 miles from you.


Something seeing these Christian activities is what gets good people interested in becoming more informed about Christ.

@Mountainlady16 Jesus' whole mission appears to have been breaking down the elitism of the Pharisees and opening God's love to everyone. Other tribes, warring factions, tax collectors, prostitutes, heathens, sinner, lepers and the sick.

You attempt to appropriate universal love for yourself and ilk is perhaps the greatest transgression against love and God that can be committed.
Mountainlady16 · 22-25, F
@Viper but nonchristians have made this about what you get and Santa instraf of Jesus.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Mountainlady16 Irrelevant. Not talking about secular habits. You made a statement quite easily disproven by the Bible itself.
Mountainlady16 · 22-25, F
@Graylight what statement is that

First, he washes the feet of his disciples precisely to show is above not even the least among them.

Everything you refuse to "expose you children to" are exactly what Jesus did and encouraged. Read the NT.
Mountainlady16 · 22-25, F
@Graylight he doesn't encourage us to expose our children to these sinners. He preached to the sinner yes but remind you he told the woman at the well to go forth and sin no more not to go back and continue whoring
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Mountainlady16 Nowhere in the Bible is homosexuality specifically called a sin. Jesus Christ has this to say about homosexuals: NOTHING.

Why you equate homosexuals to whores is beyond me. Personally, I'd reserve that for a teen girl sleeping with men unmarried and unsanctioned.
Mountainlady16 · 22-25, F
@Graylight many places in the bible homosexuality is called a sin.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Mountainlady16 NEVER in the ancient and thereby truest translations. Not once.
Mountainlady16 · 22-25, F
@Graylight another excuse of gays to continue sinning. But they could also fall under another sin premarital sex and fornication since the bible doesn't recognize any marriages but one man and one woman too. So Even a gay married couple is committing that sin

@Mountainlady16 Yeah this is conversation is going in argument circles, which I don't like so I'm gonna step out.

But I just hope you realize that you're version of Christianity is more political conservative religion than it is biblical religion.

Which perfectly explains why the the political liberal religion completely upsets you. Which is also not the biblical religion.
