He is being sarcastic. In another post he referred to us as being a cult. Hopefully it has been deleted by now.

I stand with my good shepherd to keep those who claim their sins. Those who deny their sins and lead are the worse sinners of them all. We need to take criticsm where it comes from people who leave the SDA's and commit slander. There are Trolls in here woo us as brothers and sisters need to stand up over these people and love them back even harder than they hate. LOVE will prevail AMEN

Just because he posted something we do not like (as longas it was not threatening or demeaning.) doesn't me we should judge him. Let him speak....resposnding to him only makes it worse. Maybe CF should consider an ignore feature? I posted on here a link for people to donate for a film and charity....but somehow kindness was disregarded....and my post was deleted. Since when do we not care for others? I am getting so sick of hypocricy!Sophia7 said:

You really are something! You come in here and refer to us as being a cult, and yet you expect us to give you a donation!
And we don't need the ignore feature. We just need people to follow the rules of the forum! Did you read the rules?
Now what was it that you said about hypocrisy?

We Adventists are a difficult bunch.
We're so freaky about Biblical accuracy, and about teaching/believing what the Bible really says. I wonder if that's something someone could sue us for.
I've had "and exchange it some day for a crown" stuck in my head all day.

All Religion to me is a CULT. I like what Trust and Obey said. DiffiCULT. That is what ALL religion is. This is simple. God says NOT to Form Religion. Yet we do. So it is okay not to listen to him? I love the fact that we are all here to talk of God. And Speak of his Love. THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS. I have had such HORRIBLE dealings with Adeventist and Mormons...Witness'.....why can't we just all agree we LOVE GOD? I put no one down. I stated my opinion. When God Judges me....he will let me know what the truth is. If I am wrong then I accept FULL responsibility. I am not going to Judge your "religion" I will state my mind. Simple fact. Because I call All religion cults that means other must pay for what I speak. Well, that is sad.catlover said:

But when you became a member of CF you agreed to follow the rules of the forum. It is not permissible to refer to a religious group that has accepted the Nicene Creed, as a cult.
In one of your posts you referred to us as a cult. This is highly offensive to me, and others. And it is very obvious that you do not know what SDAs really believe, much less what a cult is. For, if you did, you wouldn't say such things about us.
By the way, nowhere in the Bible will you find anything that says God condemns religion in and of itself. To the contrary, James, the apostle, spoke favorably of it when he said, "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." James 1:27
In my opinion, any world view that finds its basis at the condemnation of another does not fall into the category of that "pure religion" which is described above by James. For, its foundation must be love, because God is Love. And there is nothing loving about going around and telling people that they belong to a cult, and trying to stir up trouble with them, or accuse them of being hypocrites because they haven't chosen to do what you expect them to do.
No man is the standard of anyone. God is the standard. And we need to keep this in mind when we speak to others in His name. If you disagree with what we believe, then state what you disagree with, but make sure that your disagreement is founded on facts, not personal biases or some vendetta.
Regarding your encounters with SDAs, I don't know what you've been through, but whatever it was that does not give you the right to come in here and treat us like you've done.
If you want to discuss something, or just simply fellowship with us, then we welcome you with opened arms in here. But if all you want to do is hurt us by referring to us as a cult, then I kindly ask you to take your discourse elsewhere.
We would not do this to you. Therefore, we expect that you would not do this to us.
Jesus said, "Love your neighbor as yourself." And if we really love Him, we will do what He says.

I am not "flaming" anyone religion. I have nothing against religion. It can have good properties. No where in the Bible does it say not to Form religion? Oh geez. I am not here to debate. If you cannot fathom that someone can Love God and the Life he has provided, there is nothing I can do or say. I am not demeaning or putting anyone down. I have freedom of speech and if CF wants to ban me then do so. I am so glad that God has shown all of you to love everyone...even THY ENEMY. Me...you dispise though strange. It seems to be to much of a task to accept me. I am not here to Judge. I have read so many other Posts demeaning and be hateful, yet it is okay for them to do so. Ahhhh the sweet nectar of justice...or should I say HypocricyJonathanSDA living word said:

We do not despise you. Rather, we do not like the condemnatory attitude that you are bringing into our forum. Yes, this is our forum, and you should show some respect for us.
It is important to remember that you are a guest here. And just as you wouldn't go into a man's home as a guest and speak evil of his household, we ask that you would show the same courtesy to us while you are here. If you want to speak evil of us outside of this forum, then so be it, that is between you and God. But while you are here please show us some respect.
Now then, if you want to discuss something then we can do that, but if you are here to condemn us by saying that we are a cult or that we are hypocrites, then please take your condemnatory rhetoric somewhere else.

Condemn you? Do you not read the Bible? Do you not speak to the Lord? GOD is the only one who condemn anyone. Who can judg can judge anyone. I can say that Adventists are terrorists....but in the end only GOD will judge you. Not me. I speak my opinion. Nothing more. And if you have never gone to a friends house to speak your opinion then you do not have TRUE friends. As Friends do not agree on everything...and do discuss their differences. Yes, SPEAK of anything. I do not care. But do not act as if my one word shattered your life, your belief, your being. I could care less what you think of me. Because your opinion means nothing (ironically, unless you were a friend.) to me. I am Guest here? A guest is someone with no name. I have a name. I am a MEMBER...not a Guest.woobadooba said:

You say you haven't judged anyone in here, yet you came in here calling us hypocrites because we didn't give you a donation for your project; and you also implied that we are a cult.
Now how is that not a judgment?
And as for me calling you a guest, yes you are. This is the SDA forum. Are you an SDA? Obviously not. Therefore, you are a guest. And as a guest you ought to be respectful of our house. Instead, you have shown us great disrespect by putting us down.
Now does this mean I don't consider you to be a part of the body of Christ? No. That is not what I'm saying. So I hope that you don't think that. I believe God's people come from all walks of life, and that they are not strictly subject to only one denomination. But again, this is the SDA forum; and since you are not an SDA, you are a guest here.
Now then, if you want to discuss something with us, then I'm sure that any one of us will be happy to address any concerns that you may have about our beliefs. But if you just want to demean us, then we don't want any part of such a dialogue.
Please understand something here: It's not merely an issue of disagreement that keeps God's people from walking together in love, but a lack of respect for each other is what keeps us apart.
