does it say hate sin or does it say hate sinners, jesus-joe?

If that's not true, try behaving less like you do

i happened to have a bible with me so i thought id pull a few things out that support my point about the need for you to be less confrontational:

"blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy" Matthew 5:7
"blessed are the peacemakes:for they shall be called the children of God." Matthew 5:9
"but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." Matthew 5:39

This is an especially important one:
"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 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;" Matthew 5:43-44

"But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses" Matthew 6:15
"Judge not, that ye be not judged" Matthew 7:1

and all i did was read the first 10 chapters of only one Gospel, will carry on later after my lecture if you'd like?

also I'd be interested joe to find out what thread of christianity you follow?

"and loz. you excel at them."

To match you, my darling

how can i be someone as seemingly devout as joe4444 know so little about the bible and christianity and its teachings in a whole ? i cant imagine how this has happened but i would like to find out. joe4444 you think you could write me a autobiography of yourself with the part where you decided to slander gods name in it.

technically, priests usually have sex with little boys, not men.

beaners, I'd like to know how and why you feel I know so little about God's word?  I don't confess to be a historian of the Bible, nor am I nearly as smart as many of my Christian friends, but I understand God's word.  I strive to read the Bible everyday and learn new passages, what they mean, and how I can apply them to my life. 

Now it appears that many have attacked me here, in a Christian Forum, and simply understandable since I do put up a likewise defense.  However, I would like to draw emphasis on who's attacking here and expressing their defense of the faultless word of God, whereas who is in contrast attacking without justification.

Jesus turned the other cheek and so will I when smacked.  But Jesus never sinned, he never accepted sin nor did he aid to its practice.  You can attack me all you want, that is fine because I am a worthless human anyway, but your not going to force me to take on a sinful belief.  Decimus's presence here is wrong and unjustified, and I will not change that view unless he himself changes.

God bless.

BTW i set up a IRC channel, yep thats right #christian. All welcome full stop. ill chuck some ops around for you reguar forum goers

you're not jesus though, you're his follower. so you should be doing exactly what he taught you to do not exactly what he did. are you going to go around healing sick people like Jesus did? Of course not, you're not our saviour, you're his follower.

well americans arent welcome but we are forced to put up with them >.<

> "you're not jesus though, you're his follower. so you should be doing exactly what he taught you to do not exactly what he did."

The contradiction in that is that as a follower of Jesus, Jesus has taught me to flee sin.  As Jesus was fled sin in every way, I should therefore, follow his example.  Obviously, I and no other Christian is as powerful as he is, but we can strive to be as close to him as we physically can, and that is what brings most glory to God.

> "are you going to go around healing sick people like Jesus did?"

I can and will do what I physically can, but like I said above I am not Jesus, nor are you, nor are anyone in this forum.  But by your statement your implying that nurses and doctors hypocrites, so could you please be a bit more specific.

> "since when is this a christian forum? i thought this was a browser game's forum where christians, muslims and even americans are welcome."

What I meant was "Christian's thread."  I apologize for the misclarification, but I was thinking you would use that wisdom you have displayed here Decimus, and conclude that for yourself.
