Zone1 How important is helping others in Christianity?

[ElmerMudd]

I agree with the below statement. I find too many Christians are trying to controll others rather than controlling themselves.

We should always look to help others, not feel envy nor withhold information that can help someone else. Be men and women of character. There are many fake Christians unfortunately. Can probably be said of other religions also.

You don't understand. And you misinterpret. Christians discern good from evil and that is uncomfortable for you. It is easier for you to call good evil and evil good. It's more fun isn't it.

 

[Calypso Jones]

Christians can pray for sinners. But we don't help them to continue to sin. Neither are we to associate with bad people. Are you just angry because we oppose turning our children over to pedophiles. Is that what you're referring to?

You are not God. God will determine if I am right or wrong and if you are right or wrong.

Why do you support bad man Trump. I cannot see how any Christain could support such an immoral person as Trump.

That's in your mind. You can't discern God's word. Why should you be able to discern a man's character.

 

[Calypso Jones]

You are not God. God will determine if I am right or wrong and if you are right or wrong.

No. I can judge whether you are right or wrong.

You're a hypocrite.

Your judgement means nothing to me. God's judgement means everything.
I humbly try to determine what God sees as good and bad.

100% projection.

you don't have to determine. All you need to do is to read what he says to you.
Does he tell you to support killing the unborn?

1 Corinthians 5:11

But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one.

 

[Calypso Jones]

No. I can judge whether you are right or wrong.

1 Corinthians 15:33​

Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”

 

[BULLDOG]

you don't have to determine. All you need to do is to read what he says to you.
Does he tell you to support killing the unborn?

Does he tell you to help strangers traveling into your land, or does he tell you to build a wall and turn them back to where they came from?

The Parable of the Good Samaritan​

25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[a]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b]”

28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”

Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

Does he tell you to help strangers traveling into your land, or does he tell you to build a wall and turn them back to where they came from?

He had Ahaseurus send Nehemiah back to build the wall around Jerusalem. He set the boundaries for the sea and he set the boundaries of all nations. The Israelites were to be good to foreigners because they, the israelites were once slaves in egypt. I don't think God abhors borders and boundaries. and i am pretty sure he doesn't mean for us to open our borders to criminals and rapists to kill our own people. AND God says to obey the law which the bribem administration and these illegals certainly ARE NOT doing.

When there is no god in your life, you allow the government to govern your mind

Do you know what a samaritan is and what this story means? Look it up. It still doesn't mean to allow open borders.

Is that what you tell yourself to justify your hateful behavior.
