Does anyone find this amusing?

Hello Ray and Everyone.

i do enjoy some of your acid sarcasm.

But has the Church got worse or is it just the volume of heretics is larger, with many more heresies.

At the death of Stephen they gnashed on him with their teeth, really ghoulish when I think about it.

Vic,

Hello Vic

Yes the Church has got worse. The deception is more sophisticated!

Peace to you

Arcturus :)

Kat:
Hi Arcturus,

I agree with you on this. 
It brings this scripture to mind.

Mat 10:32  So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven,
v.33  but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
v.34  "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

Do we deny Him when we do not speak up for the truth He has revealed to us, like you said,


--- Quote ---I am not saying we should go and get a soap box, look for war or to be the hero and be idiots but I am very certain that we are all tested in small, very small situations that could be answered politely and affirmatively to take a stand against error and its continuity!
--- End quote ---

As verse 34 shows, it may be true that if we stand up for the truth (sword) we may not recieve peace, but we have to get a thick skin like Ray, because the whole world remains deceived.

mercy, peace, and love
Kat

Deborah-Leigh:
Excellent point Kat!

Sorin:
Arcturus, you said: "Should we be not  be able to respond more like Ray does at times? Shouldn't we also be able to respond with scathing sarcasm? Shouldn't we? Or do we fear rejection, persecution and hate that will pour out from festering souls who have not yet...NOT YET but will be....  given the Spirit of Christ."


I used to respond like that alot of times when I first came to this forum and when we were allowed to reply to emails without copying them and pasting them in General Discussuion., Before you joined I believe. And wouldn't you know it, I got verbally assaulted by a group of people who have their own forum now, which is of course set to private so you have to register before you can view the forum.  ::)
And I believe one got banned.

What do they have to hide? I mean if they have "The Truth" they sure are keeping it to themselves. ;)
Isn't that like keeping the lantern under the table? How's it supposed to light up the darkness?

But yeah, I agree with what you said. And no, I'm not 'afraid' to still use scathing sarcasm, and I still do.   :D

Take care,
Sorin
