Does Christmas have anything to do with Christ?

Sports aren't evil either. Glorifying a team is giving glory to someone or something other than God.

”Glorifying a team” how do you do that? Cheering your home team does not mean you are glorifying it in exchange to God. You see this is how you misinterpret this thing by giving a different meaning to the word “Cheering”. Cheering is not Glorifying. Sometimes you see players praying, that is giving glory to God, at the end of the game, but during the game people are cheering on either teams but before the game starts some of the home teams recite the pledge of allegiance where people and soldiers salute the flag.

Some people call their opinion of scripture "the truth". We are able to criticize it because their opinion of some scriptures have changed. So they want us to join their chorus "it is the truth!" but it might change again. A wise person won't lean on his own opinion of scripture because he will be left holding the bag if it changes which it has sometimes. It is called flip flopping. People who trust in leaders who flip flop scripture are something i can't say on the forum because it isn't nice.

hey Savage,
That's ok....you can say it's crap, or crappy, or poopy.
I like crappy best, I use it a lot, and I agree with a lot of what you said.

Haha I suppose the word out of context can't get me in trouble. (people I don't like don't read me anyway.) The word is stupid.

Posting an excerpt from a scripture is a threat? That's delusional.

When you're doing so as a means to say "you'd better do this or something bad will happen to you" it certainly is. That's the very definition of a threat.

Or in this case,a warning.

 

[Cephus]

An irrational warning, about as pointless as being run over by invisible elephants. I think I'll take my chances, thanks.

Easy,easy...Lol...

 

[Cephus]

Easy,easy...Lol...

It's about as ridiculous as saying that if you don't take off your shoes at the front door, evil spirits will corrupt your toes. Yeah, okay... whatever you say....

Wouldn't evil spirits be more likely to corrupt your toes if your shoes are off?

 

[Cephus]

I don't know, I don't tend to believe silly things. It isn't like there's any logic to these things.

A warning that God will judge a person adversely if the perosn does not do as God says is telling him to save himself but Jesus says
Matthew 16:25
For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.

What good is your warning if it just makes matters worse?

Lol... It's funny how you respond.

 

[Cephus]

Lol... It's funny how you respond.

No, what's funny is that you don't recognize that all of this stuff is ridiculous.

 

[Nada]

No, what's funny is that you don't recognize that all of this stuff is ridiculous.

Lol....More,please more.

hey Savage,
Was Matthew a plagerist ?
And another thing, I can't find anything about that scripture verse "you will be gone as a puff of black smoke" in my scripture.
Maybe I'm not looking deep enough, my words of truth is nailed to the wall, along with my sword and my hammer.
Getting the hammer up was a problem though, I had to use a screw, and I couldn't find my driver....long story...another time maybe.
I get a kick out of Cephus....real funny...and accuratly said.
~
But anyway...do you think that Matthew plagerized Jesus or did he make some it up. Was Saul(Paul) coaching him ?
Off topic but this thread is getting pretty dull, don't you think ?
Hey Cephus......credos or kredos or whatever....try bravo !

I do not make it a habit to believe bad about saints. The Catholics might be paying attention. Not a good idea I say. Nobody never said nothin 'bout people going up in black smoke.
Revelation 18:9
"When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her.
Revelation 18:18
When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, 'Was there ever a city like this great city?'

Revelation is symbolic. Some people change symbolic into not symbolic. If I were to guess if it was OK by God to do it I'd have to say NO but they do it anyway. I keep warning them. I'll keep warning them until I go up in th black smoke. I don't know why.
