[James Dewitt]

Elihu702;587350]

i have received a private warning with this insult :

One of the most important commandments in the Bible tells us to avoid unsaved scum such as yourself.

You wandered in here uninvited, and unwelcome .
well you do ramble a bit, and you are unsaved trash.

Just : INCREDIBLE !!!!

Thank you my wife agrees

HOW CAN PEOPLE WHO TELL THEMSELF CHRISTIANS BEHAVE LIKE THIS ?

God tells us to.

THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR WILL ONLY DISGUST PEOPLE WHO ARE UNBELIEVERS

Unbelievers are disgusting in their own right.

TO EVER SEARCH CHRIST, SINCE CHRIST WANTS THAT WE LOVE EACH OTHER, AND NOT INSULT PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR UNBELIEF. TODAY THEY ARE MAIBE NOT BELIEVERS, BUT TOMORROW THEY COULD BE, IF ATTRACTED BY THE LOVE, TRUE BELIEVERS DEMONSTRATE TO THEM.

END OF STORY.

Where did you come up with load of crap?

You need to look at Paul's writing in context. He is not speaking of your ability to cherrypick parts of the Bible you want. He is talking about ignoring the "Judaizers" preaching circumcision and against him.

Here it is in context.

17And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

To read and follow the entire Bible.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written (by Moses), Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Matthew 5:17-19 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

The Bible also tells us we must follow secular law, so we're kind of stuck until we can get a proper Bible based government voted in.
Titus 3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

1st Peter 2:13-15 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

and women in your church, do they use o towel on the hair ?

Why did you quote a pagan page at us to prove what the Bible says? The Bible says our heads should be covered, it doesn't say anything about wearing a towel.

1 Corinthians 1:15 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

So exactly what is wrong with a nice hat?

Paul wants us to "earnestly study" so that we may become intimately familiar with what the Christian "word of truth" actually says.

And then, he wants us to have the insight to be able to "rightly divide" or to correctly interpret these teachings. What's the best way to avoid misinterpreting the Christian message? All we have to do is to follow Paul's example. He tells us, in unmistakable language, how he "sees" these teachings. Paul wrote: "we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught us by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God for they are foolishness to him and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned." -1 Corinthians 2:14 (New International Version)

You're not even a cherry picker. First of all 1 Corinthians 2:14 says For the body is not one member, but many.
I'll even check the NIV for you.
Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. (NIV)

So where exactly did you get your quote from? Try actually picking up your Bible and reading it, not quoting what pagans tell you it says.
