    You make WILD assumptions
    You paint with a REALLY broad brush
    Then you utter forth judgment and condemnation.

    If that's not a Pharisee, what is?
    I recently reached the same conclusion about him. I think it's time for me to stop interacting with him.

    Dave L has done this to several threads. This one started back on track and he derailed it again.

    I've asked for this second derail to be split. smiley waiting-impatient.gif

    He is more than wrong. He was putting words into Jesus's mouth, claiming Jesus would support gay marriage. That is tantamount to adding to scripture and lying about God.

    So does that mean you condemn his support of gay marriage? You already admitted condemning others in this thread for promoting adultery. Without a lick of evidence by the way. How do you know their church promotes adultery? Mine for example says that Christians should not divorce except in cases of sexual infidelity or physical abuse. Are they promoting adultery?

    Also, "He is wrong" is pretty light judgment because it makes it sound like he is merely mistaken.

    Oh, so now it's only "most churches".

    I also find your claim about sins of "equal weight" rather specious, because by that standard, nobody who attends one of the churches you look down your nose at would be unable to condemn murder, which is of "equal weight" to homosexuality and adultery if we go by the penalty. And I wonder, what sins do you condemn in others despite being guilty of an equally weighted sin in your own life? Does this, then, make you doubly hypocritically? I think you just strangled yourself with your own ephod.

    You demand that others condemn churches that support divorce and yet refuse to simply say that Carter is wrong to claim that Jesus supports gay marriage. Or is it that you agree with Jimmy?

    That is indeed hypocritical.
