"Liberal" and "Deeply religious" aren't mutually exclusive

[UnitarianGamer]

I am a God-loving, Bible-reading Christ follower. I'm also nontrinitarian, queer, progressive/liberal, and a fan of screamo music.

You'll notice that I used "Christ follower" instead of Christian. Although I do consider myself a Christian, I try to focus on the life and teachings of Jesus, rather than allowing myself to be chained down by dogma, which I think sets me apart from most Christians.

Being a Unitarian Universalist, I firmly believe in the inherent worth and dignity of all people. We're all sinners (some more so than others), but we're still human, aren't we? In addition, I believe that all religions have truth in them, although some have been damaged by corruption. It's up to each of us to forge our own path to God.

As a former atheist, I find that my life has significantly more meaning when I have the Lord to guide me. Some of my closest friends are still nontheistic, but I still respect their beliefs, just as they respect mine.

So what do you want with us? We have zero interest in a sinner who screams out loud they will not follow the teachings of God.

Unsaved, unwelcome. If you respect your fellow man as you claim, you best get a move on, gametard. Do not let the door hit you where the Good Lord (who you barely acknowledge exists) split you.
Bye Now

You openly admit to having been an atheist, and then you take as your belief system the next thing to it? How is that "having the Lord to guide" you when UUs don't even have to believe in the literal life of Jesus Christ? They don't accept the Bible or anything closely resembling it, and consider themselves more a philosophy than a church!

So all religions have truth in them? So why do they all soundly condemn each other to Hell? They can't all possess the real Absolute Truth they say they do. The only Absolute Truth is what you find here...because we believe God's Word, the AV1611 King James Bible.

Don't believe in the Trinity? Go to Hell!
Queer or queer-bait? Go to Hell!
Progressive/liberal? Go to Hell!
Listen to African Sex Music? Go to Hell!
Forge your own way to God? Go to Hell!

I'm sure you catch my meaning.

Re: "Liberal" and "Deeply religious" aren't mutually exclusive

Let me ask you something. You claim to be a "follower of Jesus" and focus on His teachings and life. Do you follow what Jesus says in these Bible verses or do you casually ignore them at your own whim?

John 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

Matthew 4:4 Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

So, that's it? You automatically assume that just because my beliefs differ from yours, that means that I was never saved? I was WILLINGLY baptized when I was twelve years old! I never said that I do not or will not follow the teachings of God. All you have to do is look at the first two paragraphs of my original posts to see how wrong your jump to conclusions is!

UnitarianGamer, Re: "Liberal" and "Deeply religious" aren't mutually exclusive. We are looking at Jewish Nazis and Turkeys in favor of Thanksgiving, aren't we? May be there were one or two, but, as sure as eggs are eggs, God must have looked on them as weirdos and God doesn't like weirdos.

Sheesh....another Unitarian Unicyclist here to persecute us.

Shouldn't you be out in a gay pride march, or launching terror attacks to establish socialized medicine, or praying to a coffee pot or something?

Unitarian Universe-worshipers are all alike: and they are NOT True Christians.

Bingo!

If your beliefs are different from ours you
WERE NOT SAVED.


It can scarcely be made any clearer, if you do not follow the Innerent King James Bible to the most exacting degree, you are damned.
