[Pastor Ezekiel]

Re: Are we all "equal"?

We are told numerous times in the Bible to treat everyone equally, for example in Matthew 25-34-45 it says:

If you believe that treating people differently because of any preconception you may have is the way to the kingdom, you are sorely misguided.

And perhaps you can find the verses that admonish us to tolerate witches, queers, mockers, liars, mudslimes and uppity children?

Jesus wants us to treat our fellow True Christians(tm) equally. Those who have been Saved, as in.

Here's your trouble:

John 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

Re: Are we all "equal"?

Luke 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

Leviticus 19:15
In righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

John 7:24
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

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

1 Corinthians 5:12-13
For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

1 Corinthians 6:2-3
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

1 Tim 5:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

You obviously have scales upon your eyes.

Galatians 5:14-22-For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. [This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith.

I'm not very likely to have a witch or a queer as my neighbor, now am I? I live in a gated community of True Christians(tm) only.

God doesn't love everybody:

Proverbs 6
[16] These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
[17] A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
[18] An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
[19] A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

And don't give me any "He hates the sin, not the sinner" crap...

Matthew 13
[38] The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
[39] The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
[40] As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
[41] The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
[42] And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

That is the Chirstian way, you would never find Jesus going out amongst the masses, living and eating with them them, now would you

And were does it say that you must hate people, this is what God hates people doing, not the person themselves. You may not like the answer, but you are not God and you have no right to say who God hates, yes the answer is the action of the person, not the person up to a point.

• It also telling you as the reader not to do these things, it does not say to hate them, does it

• Mattew 13 is talking about judgement, even if a person is of sin that does not give you the right to hate and despise them for that is what the devil wishes for you to do, you never know, by loving them as Jesus would they may change their ways, this is God`s grace.

Many heathens and atheists strut in here seeking to turn some fragile knowledge of the Lord's word into a stick to beat us with.
Like all of that kind you prove that lacking knowledge is your worst enemy.Smugness and pride is always their strongest ally , and therefore you are always weak in support and substance.
Most of them aren't lost souls in need of solace or rescue , most are arrogant sinners seeking a few moments of false pride as they imagine themselves to have shaken a good Christian or two.

Proverbs 10:3
The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of
the wicked.

'The Wicked ' covers a whole multitude of types and sinners.
Blasphemers proclaiming false Gods , heretics celebrating the dark masses of the corruption of the Lord's Words as seen in the depraved catholic church,even smug atheists in their false security of feeling safe from the Lord's wrath.
All of these and all like them are enemies of God.
As the Lord's words proclaim ,
They are of no substance simply because the Lord will not , and would not sustain them you in any form with real substance or worth.
They are discards, rejects , and empty vessels...
as such they may well make a lot of noise,
but that noise is of no worth and no matter.
They prate on about some idiot atheist's , or depraved heretic's ,presumed view of what Christianity is.

They assume that our Faith hinges on a few rumours they have heard.
If your knowledge extended beyond paraphrases like 'forgiving sinners',
and cpomfortable adjustments of 'turning the other cheek' you would understand that your words serve to render you an enenmy of the Lord,
and thus, our enemy...
You are no poor soul who has fallen by the wayside and needs a helping hand to reset themselves in the Lord's ways.
You are a self-declared foe, too proud in your imagined ability , and too ignorant of your own limited knowledge and skills , to even identify and label yourself correctly.

Thus , all your statements about what Christians should do, are base, groundless , guesses...
ignorant assumptions your own lack of awareness blinds you to.

You have declared yourself an enemy of Christ and an enemy of any righteous believer.
The Lord makes it plain what should befall our enemies.

Joshua 10:19
And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to
enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.

The Lord demands no such thing as blanket forgiveness.

And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies,

hound them , and hunt them ,
finish them...

So before you challenge the faithful to a test of their faith, you need learn to read more so you might understand some of that faith's true basis.

Joshua 10;19 tells plainly us how to deal with His , and our enemies.
and his words make it pretty plain that any turning of cheeks is so you can check to make sure there is no pulse.

Redeem yourself, come to know the King James , and turn your face away from heretic ways.

We hate those whom God hates. Glory!!

Psalm 139:19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies
