Clirus, how can you expect us to win people over to Christ if you don't want anyone showing Christ's love to them?

DuneSoldier, how can you expect us to win people over to Christ if they don't even know/believe they are a sinner and need a Savior?
I believe the way to win people to Jesus Christ is to hold up a newspaper in the left hand and the Bible in the Right hand.
Shake the newspaper and say "This is the problem".
Shake the Bible and say "This is the solution".
The worst thing about Socialism is that it allows people to avoid looking at their lives and removing the sin/evil that is producing their problems.
I believe a lot of sinners interpret love as acceptance of their sin.
Clirus, and those like him/her/it, are a far greater threat to my continuing Christianity than an Army of Richard Dawkinses.
Typical Clirus, the New Testament scriptures that I posted prove Clirus wrong so Clirus attacks the New Testament. For added judgment Clirus insinuates that I don’t really know God.Response by Clirus:
Not one quote from the Old Testament. Do you really know God or do you only look at the New Testament.
WOW! You did a good summary of my statement reprinted below:Response by Clirus:
Liberal Christians also tend to be Pacifists, Socialists and Extreme Environmentalist

Wait, socialism? What does this have to do with socialism? Did I miss something or do people just associate everything bad with that word? Don't get me wrong, no one is more against socialism than me, just look at my avatar for goodness' sake. I just don't see what all the means of production being owned by government has to do with anything.

Mike, Clirus seems to think that socialism is everything that isn't Christian. Clirus probably considers your stance to be socialistic since you wouldn't punish people just for their religious beliefs.
That's all you've ever done with every single one of your threads.sdmsanjose quote
Clirus, your use and interpretation of the Bible reminds me of Archie Bunker.

You know a person has lost the discussion when the only thing left for them is personal attacks on their opponent.
Socialism always requires taking from some and giving to others, which is stealing. The Bible calls for personal charity, but not government Socialism/Stealing.
Socialism allows a person to avoid taking a look at their life and removing those things that can be removed to solve their problem.
Socialism and Atheism are a symbiotic relationship because Atheism creates disease, death destruction and poverty and Socialism tries to solve disease, death, destruction and poverty. Atheists cannot survive without Socialism.
Political and Religious aspects of Socialism
Socialism has wide appeal to both the people that receive the health care/welfare and those that advocate Socialism. The Catholic Church and Liberal Protestant Christians support Socialism as a concept of social justice. The Atheistic Liberal News Media supports Socialism and the Democratic Party supports Socialism so there is a symbiotic relationship between the Atheistic Liberal News Media and Democrats.
Some say Socialism is needed to help the innocent children of guilty parents. History has shown the that concept does not work. Seeing a better life more often produces anger instead of motivation. Better to deal with the guilty parents than the hopeless concept of making a silk purse from a sows ear.
The Republican Party does not support either Socialism or Atheism. Read the Republican Party Creed and it is obvious.
Some say there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats, but there is definitely a difference on Socialism and Atheism.
Atheists will not follow God's Law nor Civil Law. Atheists will change Civil Law when Civil Law restricts their actions.
Socialist use the disparity of wealth to justify the need for wealth redistribution, but I believe most wealth comes from hard work and self restraint and most poverty comes from a failure to follow the commandments/doctrines of the Bible. There is no justification for Socialism until every person is doing everything possible to avoid the things that lead to poverty such as adultery, homosexuality, alcohol, drugs, etc.

Have you noticed that you have gotten a LOT of responses to your threads and posts?
Have you noticed that almost every one responding to you disagrees with you?
Do you think every one else is wrong and you are right?
I am well aware of the people that make most of the responses to my threads and posts?
I am willing to be proven wrong, but that will have to be by logic and not insults.
