WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE FOOLING?
I know you were brought up by good Christian parents, only hoping to
do what was best for you, both here and in the realm beyond time and
mortality. But have you been ASLEEP all your lives? Have you turned
a blind eye to the HATE, HYPOCRISY, VENALITY AND PURE WRONGNESS of
your Chrsitian leaders?
HATE towards homosexuals, HATE towards muslims, HATE towards OTHER
CHRISTIANS who are just one hair's breadth different, CHILD
MOLESTATION, SUICIDAL CULTS (or have we forgotten Jim Jones or David
Koresh already?), -TERRORISM- (or have we forgotten Oklahoma
already?), FORNICATION (or have we forgotten EVERY GOD DAMNED
TELEVANGELIST IN THE LAST TWO DECADES already?), CORRUPTION, DECEPTION
and a deep attraction to POLITICS which SHOULD, if you were AWAKE,
really DISTURB you?
I know YOU are a good Christian. But are you BLIND? -EVERY MAJOR
CHRISTIAN LEADER- is guilty on ALL POINTS above!
So you want to think "oh well, there have been some FAILURES, but the
FAILURES are the exception to what is essentially a GOOD rule"
BULLSHIT
LOOK AROUND. They are ALL up to their noses in the INHERENTLY corrupt
morass of TEMPORAL POLITICS. (Have we forgotten "render unto Ceasar"
already?) They are ALL corrupt.
Do you not BELIEVE in the book of Revelations? Do you not SEE how
neatly it all fits?
The greatest trick that SATAN ever pulled, his GREATEST TRIUMPH, the
triumph UNAMBIGUOUSLY PREDICTED in Revelations, is to take over the
CHURCH ITSELF!
YOU WERE WARNED. If you are a Christian, you HAVE read the book of
Revelations. They TOLD YOU that this would happen. But you WOULDN'T
LISTEN.
Is this the message of the gentle Jesus? The Jesus who went out of
his way to teach the REJECTED, the HATED, the DISENFRANCHISED?
Or is the HATE and AVARICE which rules modern Christianity the work of
THE BEAST?
WHAT FITS? WHICH MAKES MORE SENSE?
If you worship the Jesus which THEY present you with, you are in truth
worshipping SATAN HIMSELF.
It's time to WAKE THE HELL UP, BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
It's time to ORGANIZE. It's time to QUIETLY RESIST. It's time to
MAKE CLEAR that where your self-anointed LEADERS reject the true
spiritual message of Christianity, that you will NO LONGER SUPPORT
THEM.
IT HAS ALREADY STARTED. WE are already separating ourselves from the
loathsome, nauseating HYPOCRITICAL MORASS which is modern Christianity
and forming a NEW CHURCH.
ONE MAN opened my eyes to the truth. I say nothing but that HE speaks
through me. If any of what I have said has had any meaning to you, it
is because HE speaks through me.
No, not Jesus, but HE who has come to prepare the way. The only one
who has seen the truth. I am just a small man, HE has shown me the
way.
Yes "Bob" Dobbs can help you. Only he can lead us through these, the
end times, and out the other side with our souls intact.
JOIN US. Help us. You just cannot live but to choose a side in the
battle to come. And only through what "BOB" DOBBS makes clear can you
hope to see the subtle but terrible truth.
The "end times" are not coming, brothers and sisters. The "end times"
are HERE NOW.
It is TOO LATE. Only "BOB" has seen the truth, so you need to GET
WITH "BOB" NOW, you need to SEE THE TRUTH.
Let those who have ears to hear, listen.

Why are you trying to generalize and stereotype all Christians as being like
this? You are the one that sounds full of hatred here. Even then, does
not Romans 3 and 6 say that all are sinners?

So cussing makes you a better Christian than they, or better than us?

Jesus never preached hatred, but He did have some harsh words for those who
did not want to admit that they aren't perfect. You are starting to sound
like one of those pharisees that Jesus preached against (but He also never
preached hatred). Jesus called them blind because they said "we see".
Jesus also called them white-washed tombs, indicating that they were trying
to be good on their own strength, yet were still sinners. Read Romans:
Paul also hinted on what the issue was: they didn't seek the righteousness
that comes from God, but their own.

Again, some Christian you are if you cuss. Do you not recognize that while
your argument seems valid (even though filled with hatred), it all becomes
meaningless when you cuss?

No, but even those who are lost know that a Christian will have to give

Matthew 18:15 " Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell
him his fault between you and him alone. If he
hears you, you have gained your brother.
16 "But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that 'by

So his being entered into a killfile (to be ignored and not

APPROPRIATE.

More to the point, anything which implies that your accepted idea of
what Christianity is, is inevitably rejected.
The only "vile hatred" shown was for existing hypocricy and venality
disguised as piety. In fact that was clear enough in what I said,
there was nothing ambiguous about it.
But Christians have been well-trained to reject anything which
questions existing authority; extremely ironic, in that Christianity
was founded on the willingness to reject authority when that authority
was clearly contrary to spiritual reality.
More ironic yet that you would be quoting scripture which recommends
that you respond to what you consider to be wrong actions by speaking
out against them, but you are doing so to justify simply stopping up
your ears and ignoring something you don't want to hear.
Not even to mention the irony inherent in playing "duelling scripture
quotes" in order to decide who is right; again, in a religion which
is, in theory, based on the willingness to THINK FOR YOURSELF, even
when the contradicts established authority.
Nor to mention the futility in my posting this at all, when you have
already made clear that you have stopped your ears and won't listen to
anything which you think is icky or might disturb the status quo.
You have been well trained by very powerful, very rich, very corrupt
men into shutting down like robots when -their- authority is
questioned in any way.
And calling it "piety" when you do so.

More blanket statements that are blatantly false about real
Christianity. You are dishonest. You might be right if you narrowed
your field down to the Arian Nations, or the other white supremecists,
or some other group of pseudo-Christians, but instead you ignorantly
lump everyone who claims to be Christian together, despite the fact
that in the real world we are NOT as you claim.
We Christians accept the BIBLE as "authority," and that BIBLE is
clearly NOT "contrary to spiritual reality." Unless you can
demonstrate that it is, then you are WAY out in the woods in your
claim.

I am? No, I am pointing out SCRIPTURE to you that shows your thesis
is wrong. If you are delusional and want to claim you know my motives
better than I do, I cannot stop you. But be aware that your reasoning
does not connect with the reality of what my motives are.

It is an easy "cop-out" to claim that a person who disagrees with you
must be somehow not be "thinking for themselves."

Disagreeing with you, seeing the error in your use of a blanket
statement that does not apply in real life, means to you that I must
think it is "icky or might disturb the status quo?" Only in your
mind. Not in reality.
Pointing out that you are wrong, and pointing out that such blanket
statements are false is not "stopping my ears." It is simply logical
discourse. If you cannot handle logical discourse, I am sorry for
you.

You have no clue at all who my leaders or friends are, or where my
training comes from. For you to LIE and claim that my friends are
"very powerful, very, rich, very corrupt men" makes you a LIAR and
completely undermines your credibility.
I have studied the Bible independently for over 40 years. While I do
examine what others have found in their studies, I do so in the same
manner as I read posts in this ng, examining the scriptures closely to
see if what they claim is true. If what they say is NOT true, I
reject them.
Perhaps if you actually READ THE BOOK and GOT TO KNOW THE PEOPLE who
live by the Bible, you would not make such blind and completely false
statements about us.

The only one using that term in this post has been YOU.

Who's sinned against you here? (Nobody, as far as I can tell, but never
mind that.) Did you go and talk with him "between you and him alone"
first? That failing, did you then try talking with him with a couple
other people around to keep things real?
Or did you just pass judgment on him and throw him in your killfile
without a second thought?
Ironic that you posted, as a defense, a step-by-step guide that, with a
little creativity, is quite applicable to modern life and which you
might have been better off to have paid attention to and followed
instead of just copying and pasting.

Christ and his disciples partied with whores and tax collectors (Matthew

Is that really your "Christian name?"
> BTW What is the ESV translation?
English Standard Version. Far from perfect but better than most: more
literal than the NIV, less pedantic than the NRSV, and more scholarly
than the NASB. It's a pretty new translation but I think all the
megachain booksellers are stocking it now, which is good because it used
to be a real pain in the ass to find a copy.

Last I heard, lying is a sin. And it doesn't say "against you." It

Try again. No party there. . .
Matt 9:9-13
As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at
the tax office. And He said to him, "Follow Me." So he arose and
followed Him.
10 Now it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that
behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and
His disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His
disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and
sinners?"
12 When Jesus heard that, He said to them, "Those who are well have no
need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 But go and learn what
this means: 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice.' For I did not come to
call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance."
NKJV
Inviting a person to eat with you is not "partying."
I do that with street people who are hungry.

No, but when I used to give the name my parents gave in these

It must not be very popular. I have PC Study Bible, Quickverse, and
Hermeneutica (Bible Works) and none of them have the ESV available in
them.
I would find it difficult to believe it is more scholarly than the
NASB. Perhaps you could illustrate to me why you believe that.

Look at Christ's directive not so much as an absolute law of the
universe, but more as a principle by which someone could live a fairly
decent life if they were inclined to follow it as best they could, using
their own (God-given, if you like) judgment when principles seem to
conflict.
Christianity's a lot like Zen Buddhism in that a lot of its truths are
really, really hard to communicate. One way for a spiritual
intellectual to look at the Christian Bible is as a collection of
writings which do a halfway decent job of communicating those Zenlike
truths, which is why they're traditionally compiled in one volume for
convenience.
The Old Testament is necessary for context: the story of Christ's life
would make a lot less sense had the writings of the Old Testament not
been preserved. Christianity owes Judaism an eternal debt of gratitude
just for that alone. And there are a lot of spiritual truths which are
still useful today buried in all the Old Testament's carnage, if you
bother to look and think hard enough to find them.
Unfortunately Christianity is roughly fifteen million times easier to
twist to promote violence and hatred than Zen is, but that doesn't
really diminish the value of those underlying truths.
One thing Buddhists and Christians have in common is that any of them
worth their salt will never claim to fully understand all their
religion's greatest truths.

Skeptics in Christ's day made the same argument. Fortunately his
response to them was recorded for posterity in several surviving documents.
The business about taxes in Matthew 18:17 was almost certainly from the
Sermon on the Mount. Word of it got back to the governmental
authorities who feared the threat to their power that Christ
represented. You know how these crazy revolutionaries are: today
they're talking about not paying taxes, tomorrow they're talking about
armed rebellion. After all, anyone who can gather a crowd for a sermon
can gather a mob to storm a government building.
These authorities weren't as rash as they're often made out to be. They
sent spies to question Christ, "who pretended to be sincere, that they
might catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the
authority and jurisdiction of the governor."
Sure, it's Luke the Evangelist writing here, and he was a product of his
time and was understandably pissed for life about his crazy peacenik
mentor getting executed by his government. His slightly accusatory tone
has been used to justify millenia of anti-Semitism; personally, I wish
he'd been a little more conscious of the fact he was writing for
posterity, but I can definitely empathize with being pissed at the
government.
But considering they were faced with a crazy guy who may or may not have
been representing a threat to their power, those authorities' reaction
was actually fairly enlightened. It was the backwater of the Empire and
they easily could have just made Christ disappear, but they didn't.
They sent a couple guys to talk with Christ a bit to figure out what he
was all about. What his deal was, as we might say.
The conversation between Christ and the so-called spies is related in
Luke 20, Matthew 22, and Mark 12, but Luke was the best writer of the
three. Since he also happened to be a better writer than I am, I'll paste:
"So they asked him, 'Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly,
and show no partiality, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful for
us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?' But he perceived their
craftiness, and said to them, 'Show me a denarius. Whose likeness and
inscription does it have?' They said, 'Caesar's.'"
"He said to them, 'Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's,
and to God the things that are God's.' And they were not able in the
presence of the people to catch him in what he said, but marveling at
his answer they became silent."
Luke 20:20-26 ESV. I imagine the word "harmless" appeared at least once
in the spies' reports.

We Christians don't hate homosexuals. We hate sinful behavior, and
encourage homosexuals not to commit sinful acts, and to turn to Jesus
Christ for healing of their hearts.

Where are you getting all of this "hate stuff." It looks more like a
reflection of your own heart than anything real.
I don't know ANY Christians who "hate" muslims. We pray for them,
share Jesus Christ with them, encourage them to open their minds and
hearts and look at the Truth, but we certainaly do NOT "hate" them at
all. Our Savior died for them, just as He died for us.
>HATE towards OTHER

Pure and utter nonsense! You are either brainwashed by people who have

Naah, we Christians don't "hate" each other, muslims, OR homosexuals.

I can see that you might do that. You sound like someone who

even dishonest, so you would feel MUCH BETTER if you didn't have to
have anything to do with Godly, Christian people. It is much easier
for you to leave and hide in your own self-righteousness than to have
to face the reality that you are way out in left field, totally wrong,
and in need of being changed by God.

I don't. I do speak for the Christians I have heard discuss the topic

For the record, I objected more to your "encouraging homosexuals not to
commit sinful acts, and to turn to Jesus Christ for healing of their
hearts" statement than your "we Christians don't hate homosexuals"
statement.

Christians are a hoot and a half. They know nothing of history and seem to
think their religion was created in a vacuum, as if the entire world consisted
of a few of people in the desert and nobody else.
Face it. Mary got laid.

how do you know that 'jesus' wouldn't use the name 'bob dobbs' when
HE returns, christian/bobian? do you think HE will call himself
JESUS, THE MESSIAH?
that's a one way ticket to fantasy island via the cookie truck, if you
know what i mean.

You are confusing a religion with humans - some humans are bad - not just
Christians but from all wlaks of life - teachers, doctors, politicians, and
even children... but that does not make Education, Medicine, Politics, and
Childhood evil or even the cause of such evils.
