weepaws 3,191 Posted January 6 Joe Biden took the Lords name in vain. Biden said, I might be the oldest president, but I know more world leaders than any one of you have ever met in your whole godd - - - life. Oh those silly liberal Catholics. Exodus 20:7. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain. Indeed Amen Thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Engorgeous George 2,331 Posted January 6 Is God a name or a category, a descriptor? Yahweh is a name, Jehovah is a name, Jesus is a name. Ken is a name. God, I would submit, is not a name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And will he/she/it punish me for having questions, having doubts ,having failed to worship it? If so is that God a meglomaniac sadist? What sort of entity creates sentient beings for the purpose of being worshipped and punishes for eternity those who chose to not do so? A defective, insecure, childish being, that's what or who.

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you, depart from Me you that work Iniquities. Indeed Jesus said, you will have an opportunity to be puffed up and prideful, just before you go into the fire pit. Amen Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bible characterizes God as being the epitome of love. Yet, the punishment for falling short of his glory, which the Bible explicitly says is unattainable, is the most severe thing imaginable. Hell is contrary to the character of God. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aren't most Christian religions just opposite sides of the same coin at their core? Honestly, you come across somewhat arrogant and have some kind of inferiority complex when degrading Catholics like you do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People like him are a big reason why I've distanced myself from religion. They are the biggest hypocrites I've ever met. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, you come across somewhat arrogant and have some kind of inferiority complex when degrading Catholics like you do. My wife yesterday said that her boss told her she was raised Catholic, but in college tried some other churches including a non-denominational one. She was turned off by it because of their disdain for Catholicism and, frankly, and other organized religion. Not all such churches are cults, but a lot of them are, including @weepaws Small churches need to make money, and they don't have the long history and support of a large, established worldwide organization. So they teach their sheep that theirs is the only path to salvation, and that all other forms of Christianity are bad. Can't have the sheep taking their money elsewhere, can they? Weepaws thinks Jesus would approve of his behavior toward other expressions of Christianity. He doesn't truly understand. He can quote the Bible though, so he's got that going for him.

Honestly, you come across somewhat arrogant and have some kind of inferiority complex when degrading Catholics like you do. As a general rule of thumb I believe Christianity is Christianity. The Catholics are different though. Their rule that priests cannot marry has created a pedo factory that goes up to the highest ranks of the church. It's one of the reasons the Greek Orthodox Church split from the Catholics a long time ago. If you need to be Catholic join the Greek Orthodox Church. They're almost exactly the same but with less pedophilia with your sermons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
