When you rock up to your church on a Sunday do you treat the underclass, unemployed, underprivileged or people who don't own their own home the same way you do on his forum ?

If not why not ?

Could Longweekend be the devil?

He could be. We should warn his church that they have an evil one among their flock. He sounds more devilish than Lordish.

Yes Pansi,
He treats the underclass, unemployed, underprivileged or people who don't own their own home
in a contemptuous way.
Christ was kind to the poor.

Longweekend must be the anti-Christ?

Well done! with those bible quotes!

Nail knows more Bible quotes than most proclaimed Bible scholars like Longweekend.

This makes it very difficult for Bible thumpers to win a debate with him.

PS - how come you still haven't looked at the videos?
the last one is only 3 minutes?

copy and paste does not a scholar make - something a real graduate from a university would know.

This one might end up in the hall of shame too lol!!!!!

When quoting the bible, one must copy it word for word. How else could one show the hypocrisies?

One cannot make their own stuff up and say it's in the bible.

Have you written your very own version of the holy book, longy?

yes all of the nasty sh.t he writes here will be in his bible.

What does it mean to be Christian these days?

F-ck... you're asking that on a forum like this?
Go ask a thousand Christians and you'll probably get a thousand different answers. Like any other religion you can cherry pick what bits you want to believe and still consider yourself a follower of that faith. You'll even get different answers from people within the same congregation of the same church.

About the only constant with Christians is mention of God, Jesus and the Bible.

Say you believe in God, acknowledge Jesus and mention the Bible and you're a Christian - it's the bare minimum, but it gets you into the club.

As for the teachings, it's pretty damn easy to go find a Christian church that is a best fit for your beliefs - not just religious beliefs, but moral, social and even political beliefs.

Find yourself falling into the too hard basket and unable to find a suitable church or simply can't be f-cked making the effort to show up - or even think that Churches are the instrument of Satan?
Then just kick back at home with a beer, abuse the wife, kick the dog, think of Jesus and you'll be believing you're just as pious as the cross waving, church goer down the road.

Hear hear Nail,
notice Yadda took a quick exit instead of watching that Catholic devil video?

Bible bashers don't like to be reminded of the truth.

Gold_medal also avoided watching the truth about the Easter ceremony at the Vatican.

forgiven

namaste

maybe Id carea if I was a catholic. However, Im not.

try again bubble-head

Longweekend,
As the head of the only true christian church - the hands being touched/passed
from the time of St Peter & St Paul - his voice should be the truth.

the Pope is stuck in the dark ages - not the new age of light.

He believes in the devil & even says that Christ was the son of the devil.

You believe in devils & witches too don't you? - Longweekend/Gold_medal.

SOB... you have a challenger for stupidest poster... booby the gay stalker

Yo are trying to get sorens crown?

Well - the ideas in the Bible have done a lot of good in the world but
they were also the cause of the 600 year Inquisition.

Bear that in mind - christians can become the hands of their devil. Sad

if there was any logic in your brain at the time of posting, it didnt make it to the keyboard.

So you disagree and think you should be allowed to make up your own bible verses to quote?

Longweeknd claims to be a Bible scholar:

Longweekend,

WOW. brilliant response and I am embarrassed that as a Biblical Scholar I didnt jump on that at the first opportunity!

I wonder if that study of the Bible extended beyond Sunday school lessons when he was 8 years old?

Muso,
where has Nail misinterpreted the Bible?
He was referring to the Church & their money making.

Nail's quotes:
Quote:

Matthew 6:19

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Luke 14:33

Any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple.

Matthew 6:24

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Money.

Matthew 19:21

Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

Hebrews 13:5

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

Phil 2:3

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

Acts 2:44-45

All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.
