What if God was you

Oh dear.

What’s your point?

@divegeester said
Ghost of a duke, do you think that Christian’s should execute sun worshipers?

Do you?

@divegeester said
You’re bringing up American Christians, Suzianne is an American, Suzianne said that the right thing to do was give all the homeless homes. Not me.

Why are you asking her?

Homelessness isn't confined to America.

Again, it's okay if the question makes you uncomfortable.

@divegeester said
Why are you deflecting by bringing up “love”?

Whoosh

You don't think helping the homeless is an expression of loving your neighbour?

Why do you think I’m uncomfortable?

It sounds a bit like a rhetorical gimmick.

Who says I don’t want to help the homeless?

You have already said you think Jesus would concur with the notion of taking the homeless into your own home. Why then are you so adamant that you wouldn't do that? Do you only listen to the teachings of Jesus that are convenient?

Do you?

I have answered this with a very clear 'no.'

Again, you appear to be using the sun worshipper riff to dodge your Christian responsibility towards the homeless.

Yes I think that in Jesus time the instruction to bring the homeless into your house would be relevant and applicable. I don’t think it is now and I wouldn’t do it, because of the point Gravedigger made and you concurred with.

What separates you from a mouth worshipper if you don't put biblical teachings into practice?

So your principle in this exchange is that you are fine with some scriptures being applicable, but not others?

I’ve no idea, why not start a thread on this tangential topic.

You think the teachings of Jesus are/were only applicable to his time?

I don't think you have thought that through.

It wasn’t a teaching of Jesus.

I don’t think you’re thinking this through.

Crikey.
