Interfaith

[juvenissun]

And no, that does not address my questions at all. I'm asking why you shun the idea on inter-faith groups working together to help the needy, perform service, socialize, and understand each other.

I think one should prioritize one's effort. What you suggested is not a priority at all. I can do that first with my Christian faithfuls. To do what you suggested also give a wrong impression that I "accept" other religions. That is NOT a good impression to people.

 

[dlamberth]

Why not?
I love you. But if I have another Christian to love and also have a unbeliever to love, then you are on the third.
Why is this not clear?

It makes me wonder...do you believe that Jesus would do the same?

 

[Jane_Doe]

I think one should prioritize one's effort. What you suggested is not a priority at all.

I prioritize all men equally, and love them equally.

To do what you suggested also give a wrong impression that I "accept" other religions.

According to who?
I would think that you serving people gives the impression that you like to serve your fellow men. You refusing to serve because of someone's religious affiliation gives the impression that you don't value service.

Good point, some people could say "Behold, a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!" - I mean, no Christian should put themselves in a situation where they get called like Jesus was called, right?

That's the logic of a Pharisee to do things based on what the image given, is.

That is what He tells us to do.

 

[Jane_Doe]

That is what He tells us to do.

Reference?

I do serve. I try to avoid to serve with you. I have nothing to do with Mormon.

 

[juvenissun]

Reference?

Do not bear the same yolk with one of different faith.

A Christian must be sensitive to sin.

That is your choice. I will happily work along side you, despite the difference in our faiths.

Tell me: how is your light supposed to shine to other people, if you shun serving/socializing/understanding/etc with people not of your faith?

I can talk to you. But I won't serve together with you.

 

[Jane_Doe]

I can talk to you. But I won't serve together with you.

So a person has to under go a theology to feed hungry people with you. Because you're worried about being associated with sinners? Because Christ never associated with sinners?

Yeah, that is strange here...
NONE of the disciples / denominations/ believers/ I know of
consider jws, or mormons, part of Christianity.

Was going to ask if they just forgot to change the label... (if that changed that is and they are no longer that ).

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

Amein.
Stand strong in HIS WORD. (THE BIBLE).
For many times YHWH says righteousness and unrighteousness have nothing in common - they cannot work together (even IN/inside ONE PERSON) .

 

[dlamberth]

That is what He tells us to do.

That's not my question. I asked if Jesus would do the same...that is put me last to love.

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

Unless unexpectedly you are one of the robots visiting every day,
or
if somehow you fit one of the categories in HIS WORD that
says otherwise (IF THERE ARE ANY),
then
YHWH and Y'SHUA (JESUS) CHOSE before even CREATING THE WORLD and all life
that Y'SHUA would be born a man, suffer horribly, be crucified and buried, and be RISEN FROM THE DEAD HALLELUYAH !
to give
YOU at least some hope for LIFE with HIM. (NOT thru religion or any such thing either).

HE LOVED YOU at the same time as HE LOVED EVERYONE ELSE.
ONLY a few people respond to HIS LOVE favorably.
EVERYONE ELSE still keeps crucifying him (as if).

That's not my question. I asked if Jesus would do the same...that is put me last to love.

 

[Jack of Spades]

A Christian must be sensitive to sin.

The greatest command says to be sensitive to show love. That being the greatest command, my logic says that sensitivity to showing love should override sensitivity to sin.

Again, the Pharisees were very sensitive to sin, even more sensitive than Jesus was. Being tough on sin is not a sign of being a follower of teachings of Jesus.

Here is what is hard to swallow,

Abrahams faith was tested, the tenth and final test,

he was told to sacrifice his son,
something he would normally not have done

A whole lot of people when they hear or read that Abraham was prepared to sacrifice his son,

They go bananas.

Yet, fast forward, many believe a human was sacrificed for their sins .
Does not add up, not for me at any rate.

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

Perhaps tenth, perhaps not.
Perhaps final, perhaps not.
Many people sacrificed their sons and their daughters ,
Abraham was not unfamiliar with this.
Many people TODAY sacrifice their sons and daughters,
both after birth, and before birth,
are you unfamiliar with this TODAY ?

Abraham had YHWH'S PROMISE - Abraham had been chosen as the one out of
all the world, the only one.

Abrahams faith was tested, the tenth and final test,

he was told to sacrifice his son,
