FUNDIE RESPONSE:
One of you problem is that you don't have a clue about what fundamentalism is. Neither of those verses is abut getting us to see the reality of who Jesus is. Both are about seeing the reality of what Jesus did for us. Only fundamentalist understand those verses,
Only fundies understand? How was your Paulie able to understand when he had NO knowledge of Christ other than to persecute the disciples? Yet PAULIE was able to understand Christ speaking??

FUNDIE RESPONSE:
No we didn't, you have. Again we made it about faith because without faith we can't pleas God.
THIS IS WHAT GOD REQUIRES---MERCY, JUSTICE and walk HUMBLY---MICAH makes no mention of FAITH.

What "pleases" the God I know is when we look after the least of us, and recognize our shortcomings by correcting what we have done when we do wrong to others and when we acknowledge we are LOVED.

No they can't. In fact you rejecting the Bible as God's inspired word and making up you own theology keeps you from knowing the truth, the whole truth and nothing bu the truth.



To make you think is the point. Think about this. Christianity is more than about MERCY, LOVE AND JUSTICE.

The main subject of the Bible is the person and work of Jesus.
What you do not realize is you reject most of the scriptures in favor of your briefs,biases and prejudices that you think are contained in the scriptures. You fundies are the big deniers of the scripture, bogged down in the cesspool of beliefs, biases and prejudices that you think are in the scriptures, but when examined they are either completely out of context or not to be found in the scriptures

Yes, Christianity is about love, mercy and Justice( not fundy justice by the way), all 3 of these are conditional in the fundy world that pressures folk into believing they are sinners to be beneficiaries of their beliefs, biases and prejudices that they think are contained in the scriptures

The main subject of the Bible is Jesus Christ representing the true reality of all that God is. After all the most important thing is to know God and who he is, and Jesus Christ did an A1 job of that for us all, and he's nothing like the fundy god.

The whole truth is Jesus Christ, not your beliefs, biases and prejudices.

The whole bible which you clearly do not understand is about the revealing of God through a man called Jesus. Why ?, because we became so far alienated from him in our unbelief, biases and prejudices, we came to a point where we had no idea about God whatsoever. So the great purpose of God is making himself known to man and leaving him in no doubt who he is firstly through Jesus Christ then through those who believe him, but we all know that that failed miserably, when the church very quickly became an apostate church and drew the attention away from the righteousness of God who is Jesus Christ to sin and especially the sin of everyone but its own.

One does not need the myths of the bible to know and understand what MERCY, JUSTICE and LOVE are...

ACCESS that "C" word and life will be so much better..
Without the Bible, Jesus (hay-zeus) would just be a guy doing some yard work for you.

No, MICAH is NOT the God I know...

Jimmie, jimme, jimmie-john--- will you not listen to the words of Christ----"..., you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"

He was mistaken to be a gardener by some close to him, by the fundies he was mistaken to be a winebibber, glutton and a devil..

Didn't you get that from the Bible, which you call a book of myths?
