It would; some would even go so far as to say "spitting in God's face." By "some" did you mean just you? True - but then again, what do these specific people look to for guidance? The teachings of Jesus Christ and his apostols, most likely. And as a guidance I think rather reflects Jesus' will, he says "One man has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only. Let not him who eats regard with contempt him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him. Who are you to judge the servent of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and stand he will, for the Lord is able to make him stand." (Rom 14:2-4) Not a very good verse to use as an example because if you had kept reading you wouldve noticed that further down it says: Romans 14:20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. So, it seems to say that even if its not wrong, you should avoid doing things that other christians consider wrong because you can cause them to stumble (by promoting the view that christians are hypocrites) Thats why many pastors who dont see anything wrong with drinking alcohol in moderation still avoid doing so, because it will cause others who disagree to stumble. These are the many things which the people you note ignore, which they condemn, which they spit upon and slander with lies; I have faith that they would beat and kill them if they could. This shows how warped your point of view is, I dont think anyone else has seen any slander going on in this discussion. Quote ONE of these, and see how quickly a 'Christian' will call you a murderer, a rapist, a servant of Satan... You just quoted it and I see no christians calling you any names. Perhaps you should post an angry reply with a different nick calling yourself a murderer, rapist, and servant of Satan so that it wont seem like you are grossly exagerrating? love, Drifter e-mail: webnomad@ziplip.com url: http://www.fpc.net/sites/drifter/ |
