How dare you!?!? Sasquatch's relationship (or anyone else's) to God is between him and God, it is certainly not up to you to judge it.
Maybe if you stopped being so judgemental more people would respect what you had to say.
Also, if you stopped putting yourself on the same level as Jesus and actually learned some humility, you wouldn't come acros ...[text shortened]... here in the name of Christianity has absolutely nothing in common with the Christianity I know!!
Knightwest, firstly, I, and trust me, nor even you will ever be on the same level as Jesus. BTW, I have learned alot, and how would you even know? You dont even know me!

You actually mean how dare I stand up for Jesus? Well, if anyone here says "I have a deep and personal relationship with God" and then mock God, swear people, and talk as dirty, you have to not be talking about God, but another god. I will never be a Christian if I keep my mouth shut and see how socalled christians go on like that. Is this called judging? Palease! Its called helping you right.

Originally posted by The Chess ExpressIf only churches were only running Flea markets, then it would not be so bad.
Because money is the most direct form of help that a business can receive. A church, regardless of whether they are right or wrong, is a business. With no money, there would be no church.
Psalm 62:10 “Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them”
This is basically what Jesus said a ...[text shortened]... his way.
If a church were to turn its halls into a flee market, that would be another matter.
Unfortunately, churches tend to invest in stock market companies, including ones making weapons of war.
Still, given religion's close links to war in the past, this is hardly surprising.
So how do you feel about your money financing arms deals? Do you think this gets God's approval?
Originally posted by NicolaasYour assumption that Jesus needs you to stand up for him is laughable. Should Jesus be offended by anything anyone says about him in these forums, then he will work it out with that person himself.

You judge other people's approach to their faith as not good enough, implying that you are somehow better because you are vocal about it.
Sas's relationship with God you know nothing about, yet you judge it because it is different from yours, you call him a so-called Christian. That is insulting. Who are you to judge his, or anyone's faith?
Originally posted by blindfaith101I think you mean "hear hear".
Here Here
It is a statement made when someone makes a point one agrees with, usually at public speeches or dinners.
It refers to the audience "hearing" (and agreeing with) what the speaker has just said.
It has nothing to do with the location one finds oneself in when the statement is made.
Subtle difference, but important.
