I have never got on here and said "you are wrong" to anybody.
But I deserve the same thing.
Its not about who is right and who is wrong...its about respect for one anothers beliefs and conviction and interpretation of scripture.
Tell me,
Did Jesus "stoop" to their level when he went and saw what they were doing in the temple....did he just say "you bad boys...stop it you might offend someone that comes to pray"
NO SIR!
He reminded them that it was a house of prayer and got quite INDIGNANT!
And what we today would call ticked off.......
Called them an "Brood of Vipers" ....."Full of dead mans bones and All of corruption".
Jesus called it like he saw it....and I reserve the right to do the same.
Its not always "stooping and making two wrongs make a right"...its having enough of the religious nonsense and realizing that its time to chase out those that are trying to change the house of prayer into a shrine of man made junk!
And yes...that ticks me off, so excuse me while I run out the money changers!!!!

That was the Lord, Bro. Dan...I don't think any of us can or should say that we can do what He did or say what He said.
When He spoke about "greater things than this shall ye do," He wasn't meaning that I should go into my church this morning and start kicking over the pews and exposing this or that.
Ya know, I feel a spirit of "I am right and you are wrong" from certain posters ALL of the time. Does it make it right to "stoop to that level?!"
In my opinion, and for what it may be worth, no...never!!
Arrogance at any level and on either side of wrong can never be termed right, Dan...it just can't.
Who said it was your place to run out the money changers?!
Who said ridiculing and mocking WH was right?! I strongly disagreed with what he said in that thread and respectfully tried to tell him so, but what makes you think that what
you did was justified?!
Can a Saint of God EVER find justification for laying someone low because we think we have a right?!
If someone doesn't respect another's views or beliefs or convictions, the guilt for lack of respect should be left to
their charge...what gives anyone the right to answer in kind?!
All that does is push people's buttons and alert admin and people get banned or decide to leave in anger or disgust...it just ends up being a mess of junk between SAINTS!!
We have a wealth of words at our disposal and a zillion different ways to arrange them, Bro. Dan...surely there is a better way of expressing ourselves than what has been witnessed and not cause strife.
I'm not sure if you will receive this because I am not a minister, but I pray you do. I pray that you receive it in the spirit of grace in which it is given.
