Christianity v. MAGA Christianity

Sue you do it nonstop

She sure does.

@KellyJay and and any other Christian here

Why do you sit silently at the personal attacks and lies from this person by not having the fortitude to stand up and defend God and our brothers and sisters and children when these lies are spread? The lies being spoken nonstop or hate, the non teachings being promoted in this video, just indoctrination, this is why we are where we are!

I guess it might be a case of offering the other cheek to an insulter and wondering whether we should try to help them refrain from digging their own ditch. And I'm not even Christian, so this is just my speculation.

The Temple money-changers disagreed with Jesus, too.

While they disgraced his Father's Temple.

There is a time to every purpose under Heaven.

Oh ho ho ho! How so very self-justifying in a vague way.

@Suzianne said
If you're not going to follow Jesus, do not call yourself Christian.

It's that simple.

I have a feeling you might be one of The Nazarene's top embarrassments. "Oh well," He probably thinks.

@Suzianne said
I've already done this when you first started posting them. You are the one who connected them to my church. You have been lying about my church ever since. I said your charges were false, yet you continued lying about my church. I said you were lying, yet you continued lying about my church.

I'm not watching your disgusting videos which are not true. They are fabrications. Stop posting them.

You have been using your church in many posts as a way to deflect from people commenting upon your own behavior -- not the behavior of your church, but your behavior. Yours.

Do you take responsibility for any portion of your behavior, or are we really supposed to believe that your behavior -- no matter how objectionable and un-Christian -- is "God moving in mysterious ways"?

There is a time and place for everything, I won’t lay down for some things or turn my cheek, and neither did Christ flipping the tables of those disrespecting God the father. God and his word are being destroyed here in the new culture we live in, and no sue I’m not talking about your church don’t cry to your biased liberal mod friends.

You might be confusing her with Trump. Do you remember the time he had the people hosed down so he could take a photo OP in front of church? By the way he was carrying the Bile upside down a sign of disrespect, or he simply doesn't know any better.

Yeah, but Suzi is a forum character in her own right -- and her unique variety of Christianity is also rather repellent to me.

Well Mr. Walk Your Faith.

I think that by not responding to petty insults, KJ really is walking his talk.

Be carful she will have you banned!

@mike69,

Being sarcastic doesn't win you anything my chess friend.

Have a Great Evening!

It's difficult to avoid sarcasm, considering some of the regulars.

I feel so tainted and corrupted at times.

Until there is no talk to walk to, is it better to let someone spew lies or confront and teach even if not the person spewing but someone listening in a difficult time or ready to accept salvation? The word isn’t a candy store to pick and choose what you like.

Remove the plank in your own eye, it might clear your sight up.

Maybe easier for some than others.

Considering the persistence in a certain kind of behavior, maybe it could be that Suzi really is doing the best that she can according to her own lights (despite outward appearances), and there might be some aspects of her behavior that she cannot help.

Maybe she has always been more of an outsider than you or I, or maybe she has early Alzheimer's and some kind of bipolar disorder (with a splash of alcohol) -- who knows? I might be on that path myself, eventually.

No

If she does go to such an extreme stance as to be affirming of homosexual practice, then... I think we are no longer talking about Christianity, frankly. I am not saying that Christians need to be out there actively condemning homosxuals and trying to insert themselves in their business, and that Christians cannot support political movements that are libertarian or liberal ...[text shortened]... a Christian perspective...

But having said that, we are all sinners who require the grace of God.

If only the clergy would stop frisking the altar boys [which is probably less of a problem among the Orthodox, who (I gather) are allowed to marry].

@Suzianne said
Ask Jeanne d'Arc that same question.

I asked you, coward.

Bully.

Deflector.

Christian?
