Not slandering, misstating, or lying. Christians are known by their fruits. The religion you present has a lot of snippets by no context. You are arrogant enough to believe you know God's will. You lack context, the reason why I keep noting your inability to interpret Scripture regarding Caesar. You demonstrated a sever lack of knowledge yet you keep posting your snippets. When presented with Biblical scholarship that disagrees with your personal delusions, you reject it. You are locked in.

Since Christians are known by their fruits, we only have to look at the smelly, rotting fruit you place before us. You ridicule the poor. You support the injustice of your ever-changing earthy "Authority" in police misconduct . Ignoring Mathew's instruct to care for others including strangers. The stench of what you propose as Christian causes our eyes to tear up and gastric retching.

Further proof of the nonsense you propose is the fear you have at every earthy threat. Ebola, Ferguson, etc all make you tremble. We see your attempt to ally yourself with doves, yet we know you will be armed against any perceived personal threat.

We read of your worthless, do-nothing religion, your gun-clinging, and your demonization of the poor. We do not see any Christianity. It should again be noted that it was denominations in the United States that cheerleaded in the vile practice of slavery on our shores, causing true Christians to severe ties with the evil in their midst. Christians in Europe and Canada abandoned the practice as incompatible with Christianity. You are the outlier.

Still SLANDERING and smearing

Matthew 15:19-20

19 For out of the heart come bevil thoughts, cmurder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, d slander. 20 eThese are what defile a person.

YOU UNDERSTAND NOTHING

1 Timothy 6:4

4 v he is puffed up with conceit and w understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for x controversy and for y quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions,

Three comments after my last reply and you still want to argue and slander?

In one corner of their mouths, they praise the Prince of Peace, on the other side they promote war.

Matthew 15:7-9

7 n You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said:

8 o“‘This people honors me with their lips,

but their heart is far from me;

9 in vain do they worship me,

teaching as pdoctrines the commandments of men.’”

In reply to Hypocrite

The discussion has been helpful in verifying that what you represent is a jumble of selections from the Bible used to support evil. Christians do not stand on the sidelines as injustice exists. Christians fight injustice. There will always be injustice because evil people will continue to exert their desires. Others will stand on the sidelines watching and criticizing.

Evil people do not give up easily. In the run up to the Civil War, the Union was willing to let the evil of slavery stand as long as it did not expand. Slave-owners were not satisfied with this outcome. They wanted the evil practice to spread to new territory in addition they wanted citizens who objected to slavery to return escaped slaves to bondage. There was not going to be any way to appease the evil. Lincoln made a point of trying to insure that the Union was on God's side. The Union prevailed.

The evil then switched to Jim Crow. A Baptist preacher aided in the fight to end the practice. Like Lincoln, he was killed by evil people. The death's were the work of evil men, not God. Evil continues today because of power hungry people ready to steal votes and place heavy tax burdens on the middle-class.

Christianity is hard because when you oppose evil like slavery, Jim Crow, and abuse of taxation, powerful, greedy people with fight your efforts. The struggle goes on as one attempts to do as commanded by Mathew 25.

It is easy to identify a snippet based, do nothing religion as something that is not Christian. A religion that sides with a prosecutor that allowed perjury to be presented, tells others that it is their problem to take care of children coming to our borders, and talks of liking doves while arming themselves is easily show to be false. All the snippets in the world cannot cover that fact.

I have no problem stating

In reply to We can go around on this, you

I have no problem stating that the Bible does not instruct me to support slavery. There is question as to whether translations converted servant into slave. I hear the words instructing me not to be a slave/servant to any man. I hear Mathew instructing us to care for our fellow man, not remain on the sidelines. I see a faith that tolerates injustice as something not supported Biblically. When questioned about aiding the oppressed and feeding the poor, caring for strangers, I will have much different answers than you.

Do not take from the Bible instruction to stone disobediant children. I do remember the story of the Prodigal Son. I don't take a message of stoning adulterers. I do make a connection with ISIS and Boko Haram with those practices. I receive a completely different message than you and I am glad that I do.

As I have noted before your snippet knowledge base made you unaware of the meaning of Scripture. You continue to be confused about context. You are locked into your particular delusion. Your snippets blind you to true meaning.

In reply to Hypocrite

We can go around on this, you said that I wasn't a Christian. My position on Christianity and slavery was the position taken by the Christian churches in Europe and Canada. The United States was the outlier. The Northern Baptists and Methodists severed their ties with the slave-owners in their midst. I stand with them.

I admit that I see you as a curiosity supporting an abomination and a religion that has no value in people's lives. Christians who remained silent as Trains went to concentration camps are not heroes in my book and in the eyes of many other Christians. So I view you as the anomaly.

If a runaway slave, had arrived on your doorstep, would it have been your Christian duty to return him to his slave-owner?
