Can we stop pretending the the right is a bastion of "Christianity?"

[Ross Dolan]

I'm never here on Sunday mornings.

In a sense, you are never HERE at all.

But that is the way things go with the American Right.

 

[Ross Dolan]

Do you understand the fundamentals of Christianity?



It's very difficult to emulate Jesus as he was perfect. What I can do is to pray for him to reveal his will for me. Part of his will for me is to spread the word about HIM, and basically to make HIM the center of my life. So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna ask that you read the gospels (the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). Pray first for the wisdom to understand what you read.

You don't have to read it all at once, just little chunks, and you don't have to do it every day (although you might find yourself wanting to).

Jesus H. fucking Christ.

A lecture on the fundamentals of Christianity from someone of the American Right???

Gimme a break.

The American right would not understand the teachings of Jesus if they tripped over them.

Yes.

It's very difficult to emulate Jesus as he was perfect.

Striving to emulate the example ofJesus, even though perfection is unattainable, is the duty of every witness for Christ.

Anyone who hasn't seriously sought and seen moral improvement does not have genuine faith in Christ

So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna ask that you read the gospels (the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). Pray first for the wisdom to understand what you read.

I've read all four Gospels and the epistles of Paul in multiple translations, with a range of explanatory annotations from multiple religious scholars. I also probably attend Sunday service more frequently than most of the self-identitified conservative 'Christians' posting here

It seems more a reason to discuss the judgment of others.

One might worry about their souls if they believed that Matthew 7 counted.

I believe we are called to avoid sen as much as possible and to elect leaders who do the same. Nobody is perfect, but some never show remorse or humility and are proud of their sin.

 

[Into the Night]

No, even though faux Christian right-wingers like to believe they have carte blanche to sin all they want.

WTF is a "faux Christian right-winger", Sybil??????

A key tenet of the Protestant reformation is that if your faith in Christ is actually genuine, that has ethical consequences because you will improve morally, even if perfection is not attainable.

Nope. The key tenet of the Protestant reformation was to reject the conflicting doctrine of the Catholic church.

Anyone who did not experience moral improvement after putting their faith in Christ means their faith is not actually genuine.

You are not God, Sybil.

"We"?

They themselves have been increasingly giving up on that false pretense every year since 2016.

The only ones who are still pretending to be Christians are the ones who were Bible thumping zealots before trump came along and caused them to out themselves for what they really are....

Bigoted, hate-mongering shit stains.

Bigotry.

 

[Into the Night]

Y O U just said "A huge part of the left are Christ deniers."

Many are such deniers, as declared by themselves. Most are members of the Church of No God and try to call themselves 'atheists'.

Fake physician, heal thyself.

Cliche fallacy.

 

[Cypress]

You don't really know what the condition of anyone's heart is. So STOP judging

I've seen right-wing "Christians" on this board engage in slander, libel, and lying, and even when they are proven wrong I can't recall any of them ever expressing the slightest remorse.

...

Why do you hate billionaires so much? There's nothing wrong with being a billionaire.
...

There is something wrong with allowing Billionaires to put so much money into elections that they buy favorable taxation and treatment from government (both left and right).

If you want to understand the biggest correlation of why people used to be able to survive on one middle class salary and have a family and a house and why now that is so much harder and you truly want to Make America Great Again then this must fixed...

It is not just CEO's but the entire C-Suite whose pay have soared so crazily disproportionately and taking so much more of the corporate salary pie that the rest of the middle class and below no longer get a big enough piece to survive, in the same way, off one salary.

And yet Trump and Magats are currently trying to make the uber rich still richer at the expense of the middle class and below with their 'Big Beautiful Bill' which will trigger the biggest shift upwards of wealth from the working MC and poor to the uber rich.

Do you understand the fundamentals of Christianity?

It is obvious he doesn't, since he:
* Attempts to usurp the judgement of God, and
* has declared his belief in other religions.

It's very difficult to emulate Jesus as he was perfect. What I can do is to pray for him to reveal his will for me. Part of his will for me is to spread the word about HIM, and basically to make HIM the center of my life. So here's what I'm gonna do.

[Into the Night]

Yes.

Blatant lie. You have declare your religion to be a non-Christian one (Buddhism).

Striving to emulate the example ofJesus, even though perfection is unattainable, is the duty of every witness for Christ.

That is up to them, not to you.

Anyone who hasn't seriously sought and seen moral improvement does not have genuine faith in Christ

You have already declared your lack of faith in Christ, by declare your belief in a religion is it non-Christian.

I've read all four Gospels and the epistles of Paul in multiple translations, with a range of explanatory annotations from multiple religious scholars. I also probably attend Sunday service more frequently than most of the self-identitified conservative 'Christians' posting here

Quoting Paul won't work. Denying your own posts won't work either.

Denial of logic (identity axiom). Paradox. You just posted a response to someone you claim doesn't exist!

Such as you. You continue to pretend to be things you aren't, Pretender.

You support Obama, a racist sort that openly defies the law. You support Biden, who has committed four acts of treason.
And you say these avoid sin!

 

[Into the Night]

I've seen right-wing "Christians" on this board engage in slander, libel, and lying, and even when they are proven wrong I can't recall any of them ever expressing the slightest remorse.

And you're one of them, even claiming to be 'Christian' now, AFTER claiming to be Buddhist! You've even expressed Shinto beliefs!
You have also claimed to be 'atheist'!

Where is the proof of this, Kewpie? Class warfare is just bigotry.

So you are saying there are no buyers of houses, causing their price to go up???????

Want to make more money? Go out and make yourself worth something to somebody. Sitting here and whining won't help you.

Look at the results of these vicious, unfounded and racist lies about Haitians.

Would Jesus Christ EVER support that? Would he EVER defend that, as most of MAGA is right now?

Other than the MAGAt dolts themselves, who is pretending that the right is a bastion of Christianity?

Sure, it may certainly be if they get to define what Christianity is
when they don't even have the aptitude to define "define."

But if being Christian means accepting New Testament values,
MAGAts are as far from being Christians as can possibly be.

As an atheist who accepts New Testament values as having genuine merit,
I'm far closer to being a Christian than any one of them.

Satanist are generally disgusted by their values, never mind TRUE Christians..
