Republican Rep. Peter King Criticizes The 47 Traitors And Their Letter To Iran

You keep making the same accusation: that Obama is “evil.” What, exactly, makes him “evil?”

With respect, it is bad etiquette to answer a question with a question. Why not simply answer my question, and let me answer yours afterward. After all, I must assume that your answer to my question will be the same whether or not I am a believer. And if you are concerned whether or not I will “understand” your answer, let that be MY problem.

Sadly, your response has shown what a misguided Christian you are. In fact, not only am I a believer, but I have been a minister and theologian for over three decades. And in my opinion, your presumption, arrogance and overall attitude are anything BUT Christian. In fact, your arrogance is born of pride, and pride is the deadliest of sins. Yet like all too many Christians, you are blind to your own shortcomings. You think that simply self-proclaiming as Christian and reading and believing the Bible and that Jesus was God’s son, this makes you “Christian.” Not so. “Real” Christians live Christ-like lives. And Jesus was not arrogant or presumptive, did not resort to name-calling (except in one single instance; more below), and not only never called anyone “evil,” but forgave even those who crucified Him. In fact, the only people with whom Jesus had ANY “issue” were the religious leaders who were corrupt, and were “preventing” others from entering the Temple and praying, and keeping them from salvation. Yet while Jesus challenged them, He never called them “evil” (though he did call them vipers and other choice names), or implied that they were. And the sole instance in which Jesus showed real “anger” was at the moneychangers in the Temple square, because they were “disrespecting” God. So it is was ONLY in “RELIGIOUS” instances that Jesus expressed anything other than 100% love, peace, humility, forgiveness, compassion, patience, charity, selflessness, service, justice, and truth.

Ultimately, like all too many self-serving Christians, you cherry-pick Scripture and take it out of context to support narrow, unloving, unforgiving and ultimately un-Christian positions. Sadly, you probably wouldn’t know Jesus if He bit you on the ear, so far have you fallen from what He actually did and taught.

You would do well to step back from your arrogant certitude and realize that even those with FAR more years, experience, expertise, and understanding of the faith than you have would never express the kind of arrogant certitude that you do. And they all take to heart three very appropriate - and “contextual” - Scriptural passages:

“Judge not, lest ye be judged in equal measure.”

“Take the log out of your own eye before you remove the splinter from anothers’.”

“He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone.”

To this I would add, “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.”

I will pray for you, brother.

RB: Thank you for the kind words. And no apology is necessary. In fact, if anything, it is ME who owes YOU an apology. Although I had formulated my response before posting it, when I went to post my response, I saw yours, and realized I had unintentionally (“inspirationally?”) “echoed” YOUR post. So I was probably far more surprised than you were! Of course, it would also seem to show that “inspired minds think alike” (to mangle an old phrase…LOL). Clearly, God had put on both our hearts the errors that GBU makes. Still, s/he seems like someone who simply has to “replace ‘bad theology’ with ‘good theology'” (to steal a phrase from Rev. Jim Wallis). Nice to make your acquaintance here in cyberspace. Agape.

I can fully understand how you can become discouraged. It is more widespread than you think (or than it should be…). And I agree: racism (among other things) is so ingrained that it only takes the right “spark” to being it back to the forefront. Indeed, there are all too many people out there who would like to re-fight the Civil War. I simply try to keep in mind that God knows what He is doing, and everything happens as it must; it is only because we have merely human minds that we can never and will never understand His ways; we must simply keep faith. Try not to be discouraged. Faith, hope and love are all good, and are always stronger than their opposites. Peace.

If He comes back, a sinless man casting stones. You better be ready to duck.

Answer the questions Maani.
As a minister, or should I say “real minister” these should be easy to answer.
If you were standing with Jesus now, do you think he would say homosexuality was right or wrong?
Is it a sin or is it perfectly fine?
Can an unrepentant homosexual enter the kingdom of God?
As a, so called minister, would you marry two homosexuals?

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14

You are tip toeing around Maani.
Is homosexuality a sin?

Sorry son you couldn’t be more wrong.
Just answer the question, but then I already know your answer. What are you afraid of? If you were comfortable with your belief you would just say, yes it’s OK.
You know in truth it’s wrong but just can’t bring yourself to say it.

No, what I actually said was it is up to each of us to make up our own minds, make our own decisions, (you know Free Will,) and it will Be God to decide what HE thinks of it at the end of our days, not you, you overinflated zealot.

Yes you certainly do, judge you judge , you continue to judge, despite the FACT that it is no way an undertaking assigned to you by the One you profess to “follow,” not so obediently.

You were counselled here by another regarding the sin of pride, yet you refuse to do what you so “self” righteously extoll all others should do….LISTEN! You are far too smug to be a slave to anyone, even Jesus. You don’t even realize the size of the log in your eye….Pride

I hope that’s you Maani. I have a friend who has an IP detector program and maybe I’ll get him on this.

Those who spread lies are in fact, foaming at the mouth. Yes, this is what you are doing. Maani has gone into hiding and now you show up. Probably no coincidence.

gbu, wouldn’t it such a fine world if we all just saw this world in exactly the same terms as you do. One nation under GBU, with Liberty and Justice for whom he deigns worthy. To be so full of yourself and then to blame Jesus, and people who don’t swallow your diatribe whole is simply bad form. Good luck, because as you may learn at some point, reality DOES bite.

I find it oddly dishonest for you to continue to refuse to answer my question, even though I answered yours. And dishonesty is not a Christian trait. So I ask again: what makes Obama “evil?” I am not responding to a question with a question (as you did), but asking you, as a matter of honesty, to answer my original question since I answered yours. Once you have answered - with specifics, please - I will be happy to address all of your many questions and comments. Peace.

Hurry up Maani, I have to go soon.

It isn’t if you are waiting on a false minister.

Hey false minister Maani.
Answer this easy question.
Is homosexuality a sin?

Well…since all or many of these apply to many politicians (as well as many others in other fields, including finance), why single out Obama (even assuming I agree that all of many of these apply to him)? In fact, since all or many of these can apply to many “normal” people, are they also “evil?” If so, you have a remarkably low threshold for who is “evil.”

To bandy about a word like “evil” as willy-nilly as you do shows a remarkable lack of understanding not only of theology, but of language.

You seem to harp almost entirely on homosexuality, to the exclusion of all other sins, many of which are FAR worse than homosexuality. It seems to me an unhealthy obsession, and something which, as I have stated, you seem woefully misunderstanding of with respect to what Jesus would say to us about it were He here in the flesh right now. Personally, I think you would be shocked to your socks. LOL.

We can agree to disagree on my walk: of course, only God knows the truth of it, and I am fully willing to be judged by Him.

Setting that aside, I would like to ask you a single, serious question: where do you believe that homosexuality “comes from?” What “causes” it?

I am sincerely interested in your answer.

That is not an answer. It is an evasion. Why are you so afraid of answering the question? or have you simply never given it much (or any) thought? In fact, I’m beginning to think you give very few things very much thought, except regurgitating Scriptural passages - some out of context - and displaying a level of arrogance I have rarely encountered in a self-proclaimed Christian. Very sad. I really do hope you will answer the question in a more thoughtful manner.

I think I now have figured out your problem with what I said on my previous comment. You said you couldn’t understand it and I think I know why. I didn’t want to say the “H” word so instead I used the word “abyss.” You probably don’t know that these two words mean exactly the same thing. Most likely at your theologian school they don’t teach this until year 31. I think this should clear up any issues you had in deciphering what I said.

You are a false minister Maani.
Many will call him by name but he knows them not.
You say you know Jesus but he does not know you.

Yes Maani, I am going to pray that you will see the light and that your life will be turned around. Yes, in Jesus name!
If you are who you say you are, you can affect and influence many people. Thus, this is the great danger in false teaching. There is a terrible price to pay for those who teach wrong, with the knowledge that they know it to be wrong.

“Many will call him by name but he knows them not.You say you know Jesus but he does not know you.”

This has to be either the “bad,” or “ugly,” part of your username, but verily I say to you, only if you have ears to hear.

You say this about our president,
“1. liar
2. deceiver
3. fraudulent
4. unethical
5. corrupt
6. dishonorable
7. immoral
8. unscrupulous
9. vicious
10. dishonest
11. criminal
12. vile
13. unlawful
14. crooked
15. shameful

Too easy, the list can go on and on.
Go for it Maani, answer up”

He said, “Let he among you who is without sin, cast the first stone.” Is that you? I think not. You have far too much desire within you for that.

I’m sorry, but it appears the Truth is causing you great pain.
I didn’t throw, “every” word at the (Presidenrt). The list of words is immense. What I gave was the shortened list of the qualities this idiot, “president” expouses. You can add that one to the list too.

Those who follow Obama and people like him will be going down the path, straight to the abyss.

“What is required of those who follow Jesus? Those who truly follow Jesus will know right from wrong and follow the path of righteousness.”

First, are you asking what is required for “salvation?” If so, then Paul has given us that in Romans 10:9: “If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”

Second, “righteousness” is not the same as dogmatic, doctrinaire - and arrogant - certitude. You may think you are righteous, but, sadly, you are blind to your own arrogance. All I can say is, if you believe, correctly, that repentance is a requirement, then I would strongly advise repenting for your arrogance, or it will be your undoing. Indeed, your comment that, “If you refuse to answer these questions we will know what kind of a minister and theologian you are” is about as arrogant a statement as you have made yet.

Third, re “judgment,” again you misunderstand what you read. Because when we talk about “judgment” vis-à-vis Jesus and Christianity, we are not talking about a Merriam-Webster definition. We are talking about something much deeper. And Jesus says at least three or four times that He himself did not come to judge, and that He would not be “made” a judge of others. If Jesus Himself did not judge, by what right do YOU do so? Especially since, as you have now ignored twice, you seem not to understand what was meant by “Judge not, lest ye be judged in equal measure. For with what measure ye judge, it shall be measured to you again.” As with your arrogance, I would strongly suggest that you repent for your ignoring Jesus’ own words both here and in Matthew 5:43-48.

I feel truly sad for you, my friend, that you do not understand who Jesus was, what He actually did and said, and especially that he was all about love, peace, forgiveness, humility, patience….traits which you seem to be sadly lacking in, at least as expressed by the “tone of your voice” and the unloving, unforgiving and un-Christian attitude and words you have provided.

I fail to see the connection.
I, too, want to know exactly what you think makes him “evil”.
Maani simply beat me to the question.

No, Jesus Christ is a myth as is his so called Father.

…and for you as well.

Remember to duck chuck.

Why? He already Knows what’s in your heart.
