Relationships with "non-believers" who become emotionally valued.
Jesus demonstrated the cure for fundamentalism as he walked the earth engaging with mankind, finally ending with the command to love one another?

Slight clarification: His command was for Christians to love one another,
and that is part of Fundamentalism, as is engaging mankind.

Thus, what you see as a cure for fundamentalism, is actually
fundamentalism replacing the slander often promoted by
the anti-fundamentalists in this forum.

Love Christians Only? LOL: But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Luke 6:35-37

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and of sinners!' But wisdom is vindicated by her actions." Matt. 11:19

And that wasn't the verse you quoted before. Different subject.

But of course, you will probably want to though all of the Bible into
a blender and not stop to think of the context of what you quote,
because that would be inconvenient.

Since you are an expert in that particular denomination, you are aware it was not a "fundamentalist" one, no matter how much Pleroo wants it to sound that way.

I am sorry you were fearful. I don't know what you think you were in the past, but Jesus gives peace, not fear, to those who believe in Him. If you were fearful, you were lost.

You have proven beyond any shadow of a doubt, that you have no clue what what you are talking about when you do theses "let me tell you what you believe" posts.

Indeed. When Jesus said "love one another" He was speaking to the church members. On another occasion He said "love even your enemies".

and the worldly do this better than christians.. you are insane?

Do not judge,
. the wordly judge to the 10th power such hypocrites.

Quote:

athiests do not do this ..? rotf..



Quote:

no way is the worldly doing that!!!
you bring up these scriptures you do not believe in to condemn a Christian is at best hypocritical.. but more like slanderous and terrorists in it's lies and accusations against God's people ..
because ONLY true Christians are doing what he said at least in ever increasing measures as they grow in their walk.... God expects us to Love our enemy as best we can and even then that was in the context of governments and officials taking from you... and not the thief at the moment he is stealing for your children ..
we are to do as we mature in him and that can change.

yet it is so slanderous to try and use his words against thre only people in all the world who are doing what he said.. and we knwo what he said.. yu dont' seem too. and then judge us by what you think he means..

only the whitewashed tombstones of Laodiceans churches , who do not know him , but they will not be increasing in True love that sets men from sin and it's personal obligations...
so all that forgiveness we human do to each other as we are able ...... but that does not erase the sinners eternal obligations.

so it will never stop a christian from having to say to that sinner.. you NEED Jesus to forgive your sins or you will be destroyed in hell..
as you all know that scripture " God is not mocked as a man sows so shall he reap" that is about eternal obligations..
the Eternal obligations of sin which Jesus Covers for those who believe and walk like it as best they can... in ever increasing measures.

but your ignorance is just so dishonest and slanderous of you.

If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Luke 6:29-30

I think Jesus is offending you. If you think it's slanderous, think about the One offending you. And why true love is so offensive to you. Jesus wants you to think about it, BTW.

I have practiced what Christ preached here and even received full measure pressed down in return from an unexpected source. Someone who had observed me for some time, who had no heirs, left me a substantial inheritance, stating he knew no one better to receive it based on his observations.
