So moving my account to rcsocial lasted all of a half-hour. Despite the apparent willingness to host all sorts of faiths & all separate viewpoints, I got met at the gate by someone with a very my-way-or-the-highway attitude. I dislike it when people try to limit a Limitless Deity. I could tell it was going to be endless animosity, so I left.Does any #Religidon or other #theology nerd have a recommendation for where I can set up my account in peace, without annoying my neighbors too badly?

@George — I don't believe in "love the sinner, hate the sin" rhetoric. Jesus told us not to judge and I am listening to Him. Not to mention: I am part of the Old Catholic Church, which is brother to but ultimately divorced from Rome. I genuinely wish you all the best but hope that perhaps this conversation might gently make you aware that the way you feel the need to instruct people is, ultimately, disheartening to those whom you should be extending the most love to. Peace be with you.

@threalist @StVitus @George ‘Jesus also said, "go, and sin no more" ‘. That message was G_d speaking (giving HIS direction) to YOU. The message that we not judge each other (John 8:7, most notably) is G_d’s direction about how we treat each other. Are you equal to G_d, that you tell others if they are sinning? Are you so perfect, so you don’t have to listen to G_d’s clear message in John 8:7? Two very different messages: personal vs community behavior

> The message that we not judge each other (John 8:7, most notably)First of all, Jesus was dealing with Pharisees in that verse, and it states explicitly that they brought the adulteress to him and asked what they should do because, "they were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him."So he was teaching them a lesson about their hypocrisy, hard hearts, and legalese. Secondly, and importantly, after they had left, he said to the woman, “Go now and leave your life of sin.”He didn't tell her that her preferences were heckin valid. He did not tell his disciples to be more tolerant of her sexuality. He told her to stop. He told her to do better.Now you said that is for Jesus to say, but not for the church.The New Testament is full of letters written to the early church from the disciples, holding them accountable.So I ask you this:What do you think John meant when he said this to the church in Thyatira?> I know your deeds—your love, your faith, your service, your perseverance—and your latter deeds are greater than your first.> **But I have this against you:** You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching **she misleads My servants to be sexually immorality**How could John hold this against them if the body of believers is not to Judge? How could she mislead with her sexuality of her sexuality is not for the church to judge?What did John mean by this then?

Off topic, but why do you avoid typing "God" as if it is a curse word?

@threalist @MTramonti @StVitus @George It’s a woman? Don’t take her opinion too seriously.

@George @threalist @StVitus @threalist— As long as you’re re-blogging a discussion that has NOTHING to do with your rabidly right-wing silliness, let’s get ALL of the discussion in. And why exactly did you re-blog this, unless it’s to spread our identities to some of your fellow Klansmen? If we hear a drip of hate mail from anyone connected to you, you will be reported to every possible authority. 😉
