Say and believe what you like about Liberals, you will anyway, thankfully at the end of the day, God is our judge, not you lot
Liberals stand on very dangerous ground. It can be dangerous for themselves and dangerous for those who respect what they have to say. There is always hope that their spiritual eyes and spiritual ears would be opened but statistics put the odds very low. The older a person gets, the more likely they are to resist God's Holy Spirit. Jesus did not hold any hope for the Pharisees. He called them a brood of vipers. They were liberal thinkers and very dangerous to the church.Thankfully?
No worker of iniquity will inherit the kingdom of God ... no thief, no liar, no bearer of false witness, or murderer or fornicator etc. and as Matthew 7 makes clear this includes those who profess Jesus is their Lord. This is something that the Nancy Pelosis, Harry Reids and Barrack Obamas had best consider because God's wrath and hell are very real.

They believe the Bible to be a valuable resource, but not free from error.
do not view homosexuality or sexual reassignment as sin or unnatural.

No one needs to judge you at all. You have done that for yourselves.
I can judge fruit though as that is what Jesus called us to do and I can say without doubt that anyone that disregards Gods word has a problem. And if you don't believe that then you don't even know the creator and His son Jesus Christ because if you did then it would not be possible for anyone to call right wrong or good evil and just twist Gods word into what ever you want to make of it.

We'll leave it to God will we, He is the judge of who gets into heaven, not you or any other mere human being despite what you may think, or how you interprete the Bible.
God will judge exactly as He tells us in the Bible and there is only one way to 'interpret' "I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity" or "but the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolators, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake of fire and brimstone: which is the second death" but it is apparent a whole slew of people do not care what God says including many who call Him Lord.
I think I'll let God be the judge of whether He knows me or not, not you, but thanks all the same
its not for me to judge another's commitment to the Lord
My bad grammar, yes He will indeed be my judge - NOT YOU - you can judge me all you like, but at the end of the day it is the judgement of God that will grant me entry to heaven, not the judgement of BondiHarry.
God and I are in regular dialogue BondiHarry, if He has an issue with me I'm sure He will be the first to let me know, as He has done on countless other occassions
The only thing you will find is a place where deception rules and reality is thrown in the trash can. If you ever decide that you want to deal honestly with the truth then come back any time. Ya'll enjoy your mutual butt patting.

Are there really any good old fashioned conservative Christians out there anymore? If so, I want to find you! lol. I am so sad to see the Christian population has become so liberal in their morals, thinking etc....
*whoosh*
That's the sound of that joke going over your head.
Seriously, did you not see the way I spelled "Smartar"?
Besides I'm a moderate christian, Both Conservatives and liberals both have issues they are wrong about and right about. Both have their own contradictions so I like to avoid the unreasonableness of both sides.
And assuming that the conservative ideology is the only way to get the "truth" and "honesty" is a pretty arrogant and ignorant statement.
And I agree witht the liberal christian that is in this thread, thank God that God is the judge of us and not you all.
All well and good Cris413, but see the part of Liberal CHRISTIAN that says CHRISTIAN - guess what that means - I'll give you a clue it means we are Christians and just incase you don't know what that means, it means we have asked Christ into our lives as Saviour and Lord.
Seeing as Christ is already our Lord and Saviour, try instead of wasting your energy on fellow Christians to take the message to non believers
We call them people who sin. Sin isn't exclusive to any one group.What do you call the Christians who twist or make light of the Bible to suit their needs so that they can protect themselves from feeling convicted for their sins?
No. There are more than two groups of Christians last time I checked. It's not an either/or. Some, like me, are very conservative in some areas and more liberal in others.A non conservative Christian would have to be a liberal Christian meaning you tend to make changes to the traditions and teachings of the church to fit your need.
Very well said. I think both ends of the spectrum take themselves entirely too seriously.To me, both sides of the spectrum are rather unfavorable sense both sides only seem to be right about half the issues and then they have their own contradictions and it just gets unbearable.
Morderate and independant Christians FTW. I wish we had our own section.
Good one. I've witnessed right here in this conservative forum the exact type of infighting you refer to. It's sad to watch.If by conservative Christian you mean trusting in Christ alone for salvation, I am an old-fashioned conservative Christian. If by conservative Christian, you mean obeying God's clear-cut directives and commands laid out in Scripture, I am an old-fashioned conservative Christian. If by conservative Christian you mean that we exercise love for our brothers in the gray areas not clearly forbidden by Scripture, I am an old-fashioned conservative Christian.
But.........
If by conservative Christian you mean obeying manmade religious rules, I am NOT a conservative Christian. If by conservative Christian you mean adhering to the commonly accepted standards of behavior established by the prevailing religious culture, I am NOT a conservative Christian.
Think about it...........How much of what we consider acceptable within the conservative Christian culture is based on human religious standards and how much is based on true Scriptural standards?
I've been a part of the conservative Christian community for over 30 years and I'm realizing that a lot of what we adhere to in conservative circles is based on human religious and cultural standards. And even worse, when other Christians fail to meet our standards, we judge them and often gloat in our own false sense of spiritual superiority.
Excellent point about using worldly political labels for people of faith. We really need to stop referring to ourselves as "conservative christians" or "liberal christians" as it is counter productive. Can anyone show me in the Bible the words "conservative" or "liberal"?It appears that many of you are confusing Politics with Faith; "Conservative" and "Liberal" are political labels, not religious faith.
Also I will point out that what determines "who" is a Christian is a confession and Faith in Jesus, not a "political stand" on various issues of the law, character or behavior, as each of us [regardless of "label"] has our own sins to overcome and we ALL have them.
Additionally I will remind you that a sin is a sin is a sin, and if you commit "the smallest" [sin] you are guilty of them all. So while a "Liberal" may endorse the legalization of drugs, promote abortion or agree with "same sex marriage"; a Conservative may cheat on their taxes, cheat on their wife or be a drunk.
All sinners folks, and while it is true that "Conservatives" [like me] tend to not commit many of "the bigger sins" which are more "public" and considered more "sinful" [by man], Liberals "appear" to do the opposite.
GOD does not see things as we do and ALL of us, regardless of our "label" are sinners and unworthy to judge the "other side". Sure, we [Conservatives] should fight to defend that which is Holy and give ourselves to the serving of the cause of Christ, but while we may feel "superior", better or "more Christian" than "Liberals" we should not be so arrogant to actually believe that we are the only "true Christians", as we are not.
