You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the speck from your brother's eye. Matthew 7: 5 |

i see this as an important topic for Christians. The Christian faith has become know far too much for its judgments and far less for its mercy. We pick out sins to condemn mankind with and yet fail to tell them of God’s mercy. I feel that it is not our role to judge others. I feel that Jesus told us to base the way to live ones life on the scriptures. To judge, as in to discern your own path, not as in to lay judgement on other peoples' lives according to how it should fit into your life. If a sinner comes for help in repentance, by all means help him. But do not judge him. @huxley whats your take from a Mu$lim point of view |

Cayon: Don't expect a Mus1im POV from me. Am no Mo follower. |

huxley: the important thing here is to note that it is refering to "brothers". A christian is not a brother to the unbeliever . . . besides the unbeliever is classified as BLIND by the bible so there's no beam or speck to remove from eyes that are not there in the first place. Invoking this verse is irrelevant to you. |

davidylan: Is a Christian a brother to a Moslem? |
Re: The Beam In Your Eyes Should First Be Removed by Nobody: 11:49pm On Sep 11, 2008 |
huxley: No. |
Re: The Beam In Your Eyes Should First Be Removed by Cayon(f): 11:51pm On Sep 11, 2008 |
@huxley: are you a Christian? say it aint so . I thought you were a Mu$lim |
Re: The Beam In Your Eyes Should First Be Removed by huxley(m): 11:52pm On Sep 11, 2008 |
Cayon: If you must know, I have no beliefs in god(s). |
Re: The Beam In Your Eyes Should First Be Removed by Cayon(f): 11:54pm On Sep 11, 2008 |
Then why i am wasting my precious time with you. stuuuuupes |
Re: The Beam In Your Eyes Should First Be Removed by huxley(m): 11:56pm On Sep 11, 2008 |
Cayon: Another case of the closing of the superstitious mind, alas.! |

Only people who agree with Dayweed are his brothers, they are the only christians in the world. Thats brings the total number of christians in the world to , Hmmm, 1 Just his sorry arse. |
Re: The Beam In Your Eyes Should First Be Removed by Cayon(f): 12:11am On Sep 12, 2008 |
huxley:then permit me to ask. Why the over obsessed with Christianity? I guess you are the kind who only see the glass as half empty Solve the puzzle by joining the highlighted together later have to go serve dinner. in times like this some people get real hungry |
Re: The Beam In Your Eyes Should First Be Removed by huxley(m): 12:15am On Sep 12, 2008 |
Cayon: I see you have NOT been released from your intellectual, sexual, barbaric serfdom. Go and have your clitoris removed and wear a veil, idiot. |
Re: The Beam In Your Eyes Should First Be Removed by Cayon(f): 12:18am On Sep 12, 2008 |
huxley:imbercile |
Re: The Beam In Your Eyes Should First Be Removed by huxley(m): 12:23am On Sep 12, 2008 |
Cayon: C'mon, go have your turn in bed first. Otherwise, one of your co-wives might get there first. Go, please go. Who let you out, barbaric imp? |
Re: The Beam In Your Eyes Should First Be Removed by Cayon(f): 12:28am On Sep 12, 2008 |
huxley:Nicompoop |
Re: The Beam In Your Eyes Should First Be Removed by mazaje(m): 12:58am On Sep 12, 2008 |
Cayon: thats a typical response you get from a christain when you tell them that you dont believe in god. . . . you can't have it both ways. . . . . christains expect us to respect their beliefs but they are quick to look down or disparage the athiest for their own beliefs. . . .wasting your time you say. . . that is the typical response you get from christains when you tell them you dont believe in any god/gods. . . . and when we challenge their faith they get angry. . . |

huxley: closing of the mind is relative. While you accuse the religious of having a closed mind the same could be said of your own inability to see anything beyond your own religion wrongly refered to as rationalism. |

It is better to close an argument if you percieve it is not leading anywhere. That's one of the things we are encouraged to do as christians. |
Re: The Beam In Your Eyes Should First Be Removed by huxley(m): 1:07pm On Sep 12, 2008 |
dudu-bobo: Just my point. As Christians you are encourage to take leave of your thinking faculties. |
Re: The Beam In Your Eyes Should First Be Removed by dudubobo1: 1:10pm On Sep 12, 2008 |
huxley: I am encouraged not to engage you in your remarks which are intended to generate arguments and which are of no use to anyone. Why do you feel the need to try and force christians by engaging their thinking faculties, especially with your knowledge that we have taken leave of our thinking faculties? |
Re: The Beam In Your Eyes Should First Be Removed by Nobody: 4:48pm On Sep 12, 2008 |
dudu-bobo: Exactly my own point for the last few weeks. Why the obsessive need to force "explanations" from christians? |
Re: The Beam In Your Eyes Should First Be Removed by AKO1(m): 12:27am On Sep 13, 2008 |
I believe that this thread is no more than an unecessary attack on christians. Name calling is against the rules. The responses of others have also informed my decision to lock it. mazaje: In as much as I do not approve of Cayon's name-calling (unless stupeee is a compliment), do you guys really want to know more or are you just being on the offensive? You need to think about that. |
