Is this some lame attempt to try to defame the Word of GOD?

I didn't take it that way at all.
I think he was pointing out what is a common point that, The Map is not the Destination...
or 'The Menu is not the Meal'.
But, that's just my take.

The printed word? I prefer the AUDIBLE word myself.

Yes, good post as geekigirl said.

Simple answer, it doesnt. Idolatry, false teaching, corruption of Gods word, murder and rebellion are worse, and more deadly to soul and body.

I don't think it said. I just got the impression that he was disgusted with the behavior of his flock.

Why? Because Trump encourages this crap. No gay person by speaking out against these things is stopping you from practicing Christianity unless by "practicing Christianity" you mean that you want the right to condemn, and marginalize people who are gay or trans-gendered. Why can you not see that you are not the victim?

As for the Muslim community -- America is not a Muslim nation and we have now banned people from many (not all Muslim countries) from traveling to the U.S. How can this be considered Constitutional? Yet the Supreme Court says it is okay for Trump to have a list of countries whose people are banned, but not on that list is Saudi Arabia who had 19 high-jackers who participated in the 9/11 attack in 2001. Our country has gone mad. How can we be great friends/allies with Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., and Russia, but are now treating Canada, Europe, Mexico, and South America like our enemies? The current moron in the Oval Office is guilty of treason. He does not represent me. He is a Nazi and a traitor. He will bring us to ruin, so you should prepare yourself for really bad times.

Your homophobia is unnecessary. God does not require you to treat gay people like animals. You are not to judge by the outer appearance. You do not know anyone's heart.

As a 9/11 survivor who now works for a company owned by a wonderful Muslim family and who had Muslim (and those of other religions or none) coworkers who ran out of the same disintegrating building as I did, I am completely disgusted by this.

Have you ever went to a restaurant and wanted to eat the menu??

When you use a Map, are you concentrating on the paper used to make it, the map itself
Or are you concentrating on using it for directions??

Again, as stated, this makes no sense

I have a client that requires 24/7 supervision.
It's called Protective Supervision through IHSS
She spent her life in orphanages, mental institutions, jail and being homeless
She felt bad about an incident where she was jailed and hallucinating
She ate and swallowed, pages of a bible given to her.
This is a rare instance where you'd have this conversation with a mentally ill person
Hence why it makes no sense
Unless the poster is in the midst of a mental illness


Since she is a Christian, it made sense to her (even if not, she's like a little child anyhow with a BIG FAITH so no worries there).

The Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.Hebrews 4:12
