@Frondeur @ChristiJunior @Goalkeeper @matty lmao woopsie

@verita84 @Goalkeeper only ethnically. just like the apostles were. I consider Jesus to be God.

if protestantism were "agape alone" instead of "faith alone" we might not have this problem

@patchuun it really is breathtaking

@King_Noticer @ChristiJunior @Goalkeeper @SuperSnekFriend thats not what helping refugees means lol

@Goalkeeper @ChristiJunior @matty if God only loved people who repented or if He only loved Christians He would not be all-loving. God showers grace on the virtuous and the sinners alike, and Jesus advises christians to be like God in that regard.

"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.  For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." Matthew 5:44-48

do you know what Jesus says of people who break his commandments given in his sermon? he says "they will be called least in the kingdom of heaven".

this is the essential belief of hateful christians. their God is simply not all-loving.

@The_Vampire_Brigade there are women on the internet you know

@Goalkeeper @ChristiJunior @matty jesus ate and forgave criminals and publicans. jesus said that you should love like he loves. you harp on a single insignificant quotation to argue that paul, who is not divine, who was engaging in a manner of polemic, would say that unbelievers are not worthy of your love.

here's a paul quote I just found.

"And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." Corinthians 13:13.

do you know what charity meant? it doesnt mean "giving money to the poor". it means "love". the original word is agape, which is the greek word for divine love. if you look at any concordance agape is the same love that God showed for humanity by dying on the cross. paul literally says that the commandment to (divinely) love one another is more important than faith here. https://biblehub.com/greek/26.htm

"Rather, it denotes a holy, self‐giving disposition that originates in God, is displayed perfectly in Jesus Christ, and is implanted in believers by the Holy Spirit. The frequency of the term in the writings of John and Paul underscores its centrality to apostolic theology and ethics."

@matty @ChristiJunior @Goalkeeper this is true but hes delusional by thinking christ only loved people who loved him (were good christians). hateful christians (a religion about Gods love for all mankind) are just as christian as atheist communists.

@The_Vampire_Brigade he doesnt send me Leeds he posts lewds on his account. by "gay" I meant that I like women

@dagda what are you talking about in particular lol

@ChristiJunior @theshortbus I think refugee status should be verified unless its incredibly obvious. I dont believe in open borders unless its something the majority wants.

@Goalkeeper @ChristiJunior the commandment is love as Christ loved. if you think Christ only loved people who werent sinners youre reading a different bible.

@The_Vampire_Brigade @ChristiJunior wait, me and snacks are dating??

@lebronjames75 WHAT

@Goalkeeper @ChristiJunior I havent read titus or much of the Pauline epistles but ive recently read the gospels, acts, the johanine literature, and james. I ask you, is whatever quotation you cite more important than "love one another as I have loved you?"

john 13:34-35
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

@ChristiJunior okay that actually explains a lot then

@Goalkeeper @ChristiJunior many farmers are incredibly wealthy. in south africa they had and I believe still have a very disproportionate share of land. in the US theyre supported with generous subsidies too.

@ChristiJunior "Christi" and yet so un-christlike
