Re: WHY ARE ATHIESTS SO MISERABLE?

Actually, I never knew that passage.

So isn't the Bible contradicting itself there? Either that or Matthew just happened to forget to add in the little addendum about what he just said not applying to spiritual men. But if Matthew were simply writing down God's word, that would mean that God either contradicted himself or else forgot the aforementioned addendum. Hmmm, this is a dilly of a pickle.

No, the Bible is not contradicting itself whatsoever. The Bible tells us we should judge others, not only in the aforementioned Corinthians verse, but in several others as well. When it comes to Matthew 7:1-5, Jesus is just warning us about hypocritical judgement. A careful look at the text reveals Jesus is not saying we can't judge others, just that it is a prohibition against judging hypocritically.

For an example of what Christ teaches us, let's say for sake of argument that I am an adulterer. Now, I judge you for committing adultery. That is hypocrisy and that is what Jesus is against. However, if I am faithful to my wife, I have every right to judge you as an adulterer.

The Bible gives us every right to judge, but it also warns us not to judge haphazardly or whenever we feel like it. The Bible tells us we must judge righteously, and without hypocrisy.

I'm not going to lie, I have no idea what you were trying to say in that second question.

But alas, you have caught me. The truth is, I have come to this forum to be saved.

Well Praise Jesus! Further evidence of His love!

Have you made a thread of your own in the "introductions" section yet? If not, please do so now and tell us about your miserable life of sin and depravity. Your testimony will be valuable for future heathens to read! Shout Glory!

Re: WHY ARE ATHIESTS SO MISERABLE?

No, she did not forget. Rather, it seems that you have forgotten some of the Bible instead.

We have every right to make judgements onto others.

1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

Although, I think seeing a Mexican and calling him lazy based on his actions is hardly a big judgement. It's just common sense, really.

Sure, seeing a Mexican being lazy and calling him lazy is fine and dandy. But unless you see every Mexican and see that all of them are being lazy, it seems a bit judgmental. Anyway, Jesus will let you know when you die. And don't get me wrong, I also think most Mexicans are lazy.

Oh darn! I did spell manner wrong. (Seriously, I am pretty ashamed that I let that one slip.) Thank you for pointing that out Johnnyboy.

And I'm quite willing to be judged.

Darn, Rev. Jim, you blew me away answering that one! But there again, you ARE a Reverend! I guess I should feel no shame in that.

Re: WHY ARE ATHIESTS SO MISERABLE?

Perhaps, but based on her manor of speaking it seems she may have forgotten that nugget of wisdom.

I see nothing wrong with her MANNER of speaking, at all. I doubt if Sister Talitha has forgotten anything in the Bible. She can recite it from memory.

Perhaps, my friend, you should also be reminded of this passage as saying things like "lazy Mexicans" is quite judgmental.

First of all, "lazy Mexicans is an accurate description. The truth. Jesus loves the truth. Also, there's nothing wrong with judging someone, as long as you do it honestly, and are willing to be judged yourself.

Matthew 7


1Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

God Bless

Friend, It's not necessary to quote scripture to Sister Talitha. She's a True Christian.

Touché, but shouldn't you be telling that to Talitha as well?

Friend,

You should heeds Christ's words on this

Matthew 7:1
Judge not lest ye be judge.

You need to open your heart to Jesus' love.

That doesn't seem like a very gracious, genteel, kind, tender, and warm thing to say.

I'd be really miserable too if I hadn't got the Love of Baby Jesus.
Atheists are mentally ill as well as ignorant.

Ephesians 4:17-18
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart.

Excuse me, Mr. Marshall but you just penalized me for being disrespectful.
Exactly what part did you find offensive? On all my previous posts I'm defending the Holy Word of God at all times and I'm not attacking any True Christian (TM).
