    Matthew 3

    But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?




    John was a loving and accepting guy. Kelly sounds just like him.

    If this post was written while you were sober it might have made some sense.

    Does it sound like John the Baptist was glad to see them and wanted them to be saved?

    No. It sounds like John was simply telling it like it was.

    Idiot. Why don't you wake up and stop projecting into the text your own distorted opinions.

    Who warned you to flee?

    That isn't telling it like it is. This is complaining about the fact that these people might actually be saved.

    How has Jesus calling some religionists a brood of vipers helped your spiritual growth as a Christian ?

    In this case it was John the Baptist, but Jesus did it too.

    It goes to show that societal beliefs about the inherent negativity of name calling isn't true. It also shows Jesus wasn't interested in saving all people.

    Unless you elaborate I will get this impression -

    The positive influences in your spiritual life from John the Baptist and Jesus ARE -

    1.) They give you rational to call people names without feeling bad about it.
    2.) They give you rational to be apathetic about people being saved, because Jesus was not interested in saving all people.

    I don't know if you ever heard the saying - " The kind of person you are determines the kind of Bible you have."

    Unless you elaborate I am getting the impression that you need from God:

    1.) justification to call people names a lot.
    2.) Justification to not care that many people not come to know Christ for salvation.

    Does it matter what you read into my posts? What you read into things speaks of what is in your heart not mine.

    Would the same apply to you too, as you read into scripture a lot of ugly things, as well
    as other people's posts too?

    What you call ugly is simply clashes with what you have read into scripture.

    I have scriptural support for what I have said. You just want to worship a false God that makes you feel good about accepting the morality of the dead.
