For Christians: Do you REALLY believe this?

For Christians: Do you REALLY believe this?
September 11, 2009 11:34PM
Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men. - Titus 3: 1,2

It's in the Bible, which means that it's the Word of God.

So....... why are so many Christians deliberately ignoring God's Word?

If you don't think it applies to you, then ignore it.

Well, pt, I'm subject to authorities. In a democracy we don't have rulers. I obey all laws--even speed limit laws. To the best of my knowledge and ability, I do what is good. While I embrace the right to free speech, I never slander anyone. I am peacable. I live in a way that is peacable and am very considerate--Dems and GOPs in my neighborhood know me only as a concerned and involved citizen. And, while again, I have strong opinions about the integrity of many in positions in authority in our democracy and certainly am vocal in expressing the opinions it is my right to express, my lifestyle is one of humility to friend and foe.

So, I ask you again, which Christians that you know ignore this?

I didn't ask you to defend yourself. I don't even know you. I posted it for general edification.

And, pt, it is meaningless the way you posted it.

You implied that no Christians does this. You said,

"It's in the Bible, which means that it's the Word of God.

So....... why are so many Christians deliberately ignoring God's Word?
"

Who is deliberately ignoring it? How is it typical behavior of Christians to ignore this?

Hey Forney go to You Tube and type "Hate Obama" into search. Also "Obama Satan", "Obama Antichrist", "Obama Hitler, Nazi," etc. But of course you already know what your fellow religious fanatics are doing, don't you, sleazebag, so stop playing dumb.

You implied that no Christians does this. - CHF

confused smiley No, I did not. What mental gymnastics did you have to go through to glean that from what I posted?

And I don't know if it's "typical behavior of Christians"; I used the phrase "so many".

Why are you being so defensive? I don't even read your posts. I know nothing about you other than your religion and your monicker.

Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. - 1 Peter 2:13,14

I have no doubt that there is a small minority of so-called Christians who are unrighteous in their attitude toward O. Some were even that way toward W..

Phillipians 2:3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

Oh yeah. If that doesn't describe Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh and poop bucket, I don't know what does,

Phillipians 4:8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Yeah, again: The fundy right is just BLOSSOMING with happy thoughts and nobel visions.

Right.

CH, she wants to imply that Christian are hypocrites and then weasel her way out of defending what she says.

It's alright, I don't anyone really expects much more from her. yawning smiley


“Forget the war between the sexes. If being equal means we have fight and have the 50% chance of divorce for every marriage we have, forget it. Let's respect each other for what we are and try to get along with more respect. "Equality" might be an illusory goal, since we've each got different equipment, inside and out, but respect and compassion are eternal.” — Barack Obama
