Definitely
How is it offensive to say Jesus loves me?
Also adding to the slutty teen story. F***er doesn’t even stand for the pledge. Of course
Or disruptive or distractive
Us Christians need to stop playing nice. Jesus was *never* nice. He was never a push over. He confronted His enemies and He engaged in public pwnage whenever the need arose. The dude flipped tables and even *cursed* at a fig tree. If Jesus did that and He is our pattern of conduct, I see no reason why we Christians can't flip tables and curse at an illegitimate lawsuit.
On another note that verse taught me that you should not mess with God when he's hangry
That verse brought dont test the Lord to another level
To those who were asking about whether or not God is okay with Homosexuality and as to why he is both wrathful and loving.
```
While the Lord may be our loving father, he had given us free will, so rather than forcing us to love him, he made it so that we'd come willingly with love.
As a parent, would you force your child to love you? No you wouldn't, you'd want them to learn to love you of free will.
As a lover, would you force your lover to love you? No you wouldn't, you'd have to let them learn willingly.
Forcing someone to love someone isn't real, its fake. God loves all of his children but he will not force us to do anything that we won't want to do.
He'll try his best to guide us but if we rebel against him it's the same as a teenager rebelling against their parent.
They can only do so much.
As your child has learn to love, so do you, he let's you choose from your free will.
Adam and Eve had bitten from the fruit, The Lord had told them not to, and therefore created sin.
Does this mean we are forever to sin? Yesnt
With the Lord, we can stay off the path of sin but even the slightest slip up we go right back to sinning and stray away from God.
God had sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to pay for all of our sins and as so long as we truly believe that, we are saved.
And as long as that is this case we can repent and ask for forgiveness from our sins. God will forgive us before you even ask it and he will let our debts be paid.
When we stray from the Path of God and stray from his word, we sin, and the more we succumb, the worse it gets. Regardless we can always repent.
For this, because of sin, we have abandoned our nature. God had created Woman as a companion or partner for Man. Which is to our nature and otherwise would not be.
```
More coming a sec
You don't ever mess with God. The moment you even *conceive* of messing with Him, He has retroactively messed with you and shamed you from the outset. That's why Satan complained after his third defeat against Jesus.
```
It says in Romans 26 to 27, that Men with Men is unnatural and opposes true nature.
In a nutshell, when we win, God let's us deal with the consequences of our actions as long as we continue to stray from him.
When we sin, we can fill ourselves with wickedness, unrighteousness, greed, evil, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. We become gossipers, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedience to Parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unfeeling and unmerciful
```
Done
Yes but he still did treat his enemies with mercy. Always remember that
Could maybe the mods pin the first larger message i sent if thats okay???
The mercy understood at that time is not the mercy we associate in modern time.
It doesn't matter what we associate Mercy in the present. The Bible says that it, God and the Holy spirit never change
We must associate Mercy with what it was back then and not now
https://www.tektonics.org/whatis/whatmercy.php
It is better understood as a form of gratitude.
I mean yeah.
BTW yall know if that Jim guy got ban hammered?
When I think of God's mercy I think of the parable of the prodigal son
Idk
We should show mercy, but how we show it is key. Even so, Jesus attitude towards people like the Pharisee was not the same as people like Nicodemus.
Jesus was patient and kind to the latter group. Jesus pulled no punches to groups of the former.
Also in Jonah
Jonah probably the best example of God's mercy
Oh I agree
If sodom and Gomorrah had repented he'd of never destroyed them, like how he showed mercy to Nineveh
I think part of the reason Jonah's situation with God's mercy is the best because of how much more simply it was explained
Mhm
So to people like those who disagree with us but show respect and a willingness to listen, yes; be kind and courteous. To people that find pleasure in violating our 1A rights with convoluted excuses; we are not to show kindness to such people. We should expose them harshly and with no pulling punches.
I actually agree, thats a great way to explain it
Correct those who are wise but those who are nothing but mockery wi hate you
Proverbs 9:8
“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.
Matthew 7:6 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.7.6.NKJV
So if these tyrannical "lawyers" pull the "That's not very Christ like", you answer: "If Christ was here, He'd bitchslap you right now." Or something along those lines. Jesus never showed kindness to the Pharisees that violated their people's rights, nor would He to the lawyers that expelled that girl for showing a Christian message through her mask.
Smash Boy, what you said definitely plays apart in whats happening as of these days.
Literally that.
Mhm
Jesus showed both God's Mercy and his wrath
Thats what you mean right?
Yes but anger must be controlled
Thats what wrath is
People don't understand that wrath isn't just some synonym of anger
