Yes, that's what they sound like when they talk about those evil fundamentalists.

The attackers sound EXACTLY like that Pharisee.

What part of that parable do you not understand that it was the fundamentalist that left the temple no more justified than when he entered it ?.

The root problem with you fundamentalists is you enter the temple hoping God will hear you petition while holding those you do not approve of in condemnation.

Jesus didn't mock people in the context and style that is being done here. I am mocked because you can't stand my opinions and need to feel superior. Plus Jesus comments might have been harse, but truth. Telling me that I am absolutely a homosexual is a ridiculous untruth.

If you want to teach people, berating them isn't a good method to get them to take you seriously.

That's the great irony. They keep claiming that we are like Pharisees when their own behavior here is quite Pharisee like! Wadendresden even had the audacity to claim that I am not a Christian as if he has the ability to see my heart or know my life experiences.

Quite possibly fundies are learning? But, the real difference is where LOVE is practiced?

Can love be practiced via discrimination and oppression, or can love best be lived with the concept of forgiveness and acceptance?

Opinions or insane interpretation of the scriptures and insistence that ONLY you are right?

I know. I was judged in similar fashion yesterday by one member of that gang. It was actually twice, but two separate members. Personal attacks and smear are their old and trusted friends.

Can you give an example of these attacks........ when i say example i do not mean your opinion of another forum members post but a direct quote from them where it is evident they are attacking you or someone else who supports your beliefs............ because it getting rather tedious you saying that you are attacked because another poster does not accept your version of christianity.

You also have the option of ignoring them or reporting them

Have a nice open minded day

When the Bible says it is an abomination and unnatural to have same sex relations, that is a pretty clear interpretation to me. Not an insane one. An insane one would be trying to say the passage is only talking about temple prostitutes or that David and Johnathan were lovers.
