How can we be self righteous when we are following Jesus?.He is the One who is righteous.
Matthew 6:33
Verse Concepts
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
There are lots of people who say we are wrong,but not those who are following the Bible like us.
Its like saying,if you drive your car,you follow the rules of the highway code.But if you had lots of drivers following different versions of the highway code,that doesnt mean you are in the wrong.It means they added bits to the highway code or they removed parts of it when they had no right to.Does this make you a bad driver because you are following the original copy? Of course not.They are the ones in the wrong because they distorted the original instructiin
Revelations 22
life.
18
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book.
19
And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

I used to run a few trucks to the Middle East back in the day.
Whilst Robroy and I might disagree about Brex[zb] & other issues, If I had to decide whether I would give Sploom or Robroy the seat in the next wagon setting off for Jeddah, Robroy would win hands down.
The last thing you would want on a trip that needed self-confidence and yet a degree of humility is a Born Again ZB Christian.
Alternatively, you could spend the entire journey mentally torturing Sploom to see exactly where his breaking point was?
I’d start with the audiobook version of The Satanic Bible, interspersed with selected offerings from Black Sabbath, and newer bands of the Satanic Metal oeuvre, as well as some 1980’s classics youtube.com/watch?v=D5wUr4Lut4A
I’d have a selection of other music, recorded in reverse-play so you can check out the subliminal messages
We’d have a little dashboard ornament like this
Some midnight invocations to The Dark Lord (in Latin of course), a few black candles and some demonic-smelling incense and he’d be thumbing a lift back to the UK PDQ

There he goes again with promises to wind it up: how long until he’s back quoting Verse this, Chapter that? Pound to a penny he can’t make it until the end of the day.

Robroy.
Im not done with you yet! (fire blah… brimstone blah… you know the score)
Sadly, just as I predicted Three hours and fifty one minutes, and even then we have to make some allowances for being at work then getting back home.
Perhaps more importantly, what are the precise implications of “Im not done with you yet!” ?
Sploom, just as well Robroy is your typical CBA-micky-taking-hairy-arsed-truck-driver, because I think you’re edging perilously close to an offence under the Malicious Communications Act (1988) legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/27/section/1
Short version Offence… with intent to cause distress or anxiety (1)Any person who sends to another person— (a)an electronic communication… which conveys (ii)a threat
You seriously need to consider winding your neck in
Sploom:
Youre the one whos broken all those rules.Not my tongue in cheek comment.
Ive already said the thread has run its course
That what you keep saying, and yet you keep coming back with more unwanted insanity, now with added “stalkiness”. Yesterday you lasted a bit less than four hours, let’s see if you can make it a whole six hours today shall we?
Sploom:
A) There are lots of people who say we are wrong,but not those who are following the Bible like us.
B) Its like saying,if you drive your car,you follow the rules of the highway code.But if you had lots of drivers following different versions of the highway code,that doesnt mean you are in the wrong.It means they added bits to the highway code or they removed parts of it when they had no right to.Does this make you a bad driver because you are following the original copy? Of course not.They are the ones in the wrong because they distorted the original instructiin
As I asked before - A) Which bible? Which version? - presumably any that has a quote to suit your argument?
B) The Highway Code is constantly evolving, to keep up with changes in technology and road traffic laws. Does your bible do that? Did God tell you to give cyclists at least 1.5 metres clearance when overtaking them?
and seeing as you say you aren’t a member of any church, cult or sect, who are these Elders that you often take guidance from - do they not belong to some organisation, or are they just self-appointed influencers?
We are an independent church not affiliated with any other church.The church isnt a building.Its a group of followers of Jesus Christ.We use the ESV.
The word of God doesnt evolve with the prevailing morality of the time.
For example,200 years ago,it wouldnt be acceptable for a woman to walk down the street wearing tight clothes displaying her body for all to see.But in todays world,it would be acceptable to most people,I would guess.Without the Bible,morality these days is based on what the majority of the public think,I suggest
Sploom:
What one generation tolerates,the next generation embraced
Which brings us back to the delicate subject you feel uneasy about, you know the one…homosexuality.
Modern society accepts it…but seemingly not your church,.which makes a mockery of your last statement.
So…does your present generation of your church accept it,.let alone ‘‘embrace’’ it?
Or have we all got you wrong after all.
You really ought to start thinking first before posting,.otherwise it just comes back and bites you on the arse.
Just saying .

Your interpretation of that old book would have 50% of the world’s population (females) subjugated to the position of a virtual slave, “there to serve” and be ruled by either a father or a husband.
You’ve got some brass neck even daring to use the word “morality”, because in reality you’re one sick mofo

For those that don’t know what Sploomy’s ESV is:-
The ESV (English Standard Version) is a translation of the Bible in American English. Created by a team of more than 100 Nut Job evangelists & published in the USA in 2001.
The readability level of the text of the ESV is around 8th grade.
The ESV is the preferred Bible translation for many American Nut Job ministries, including the Gideons International, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Awana, and others.
The ESV is also used extensively by a host of major USA Nut Job denominations, Nut Job churches, and Nut Job church networks, including the Southern Baptist Convention, the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, the Evangelical Free Church, the Anglican Church in North America, the Presbyterian Church in America, and Acts 29.

Or have we all got you wrong after all.
Considering he said yesterday that, even if you fill your life with good deeds for the benefit of your fellow humans, you’re still “going to hell” because you haven’t signed up to the JC fan club, I don’t think we’ve got him wrong in the slightest.
He’s all about fire, brimstone, hell, damnation and eternal torment (which has always struck me as a bit of an extreme ■■■■ fantasy that got totally out of control), trying his best to put “the fear of God” into other people because of his own insecurities and inherent biases, rather than the purported Christian values of love, tolerance, and forgiveness.
Mind you, Sploomy’s endless, unbridled religious mania has allowed me to enjoy one of my all time favourite movies even more fully, I know he posted a picture last week, allegedly of himself, but to me he will always look like Sergeant Howie
whisperingsmith:
With just a little digging, our suspicions of Sploomy’s Dark Satanic side become patently obvious
The Satanists wouldn’t have him, apparently they’re quite keen on equality for all genders/identities/insert-trendy-buzzword-of-the-week, he would be far too judgemental for them
Im not peculiar in feeling uneasy about holding a view where 99%+ of the population disagree.We have already established that ,if you were living in a different time or place,where homosexuality is illegal,you too would feel uneasy,only you wouldnt be bringing up the subject at all.You keep banging on about it because you it as a stick to beat me with.
Its not whether our church accepts it or not.The Bible lays the standard of what is or isnt morally right.We are not above God so we are duty bound to stick to the law that Gods word dictates.
Sploom:

I meant in the world,not in the Christian world.
In the world,morality is based on the prevailing majority public opinion.That is considered to be the truth.If most people think something is right or wrong,the general concensus is that it must be so,but we dont follow those principles
Sploom:

Your Bible Lays Down Your Standard - It was written in 2001 by Americans, just 22 years ago.
Nothing to do with any God or what is or isn’t morally right, if you lot aren’t the Anti Christ there must be another lot much worse & more dangerous than you.
