selective bible memory

[creativemechanic]

isn't it funny how people loved quite part of a verse of story that suits them but of her ignore the rest

[bryan]

Are most people too busy figuring out who to accuse of sin, wrong doctrine, or wrong interpretation next?

I was referring to your observation in your OP about the picture as possibly being your first stone ...or do you identify as one who is also guilty of taking some Scripture that suits you but ignoring the rest?

We all do it in some ways. What i find amusing is how people can use that let he who is without sin part as a defense against correction but ignore that Jesus right after told the woman to stop ssinning. People often have this image of Jesus as a passive  softie who let people do as they please and never spoke up or corrected anyone , which is far from the truth

That is a teeny tee tiny percent.  the mass majority are busy hugging everything and loving sin and correcting none.   The mindset of seeker friendly

apparantely DID NOT WORK OUT WELL.  the churches fell away instead of people getting saved ,they all hugging , no doctrine , no correction

and just a massive falling away.

The correction part can go in the extreme direction as well.  Several of the seeker friendly churches we looked at in our area seemed to be very open, bible based, and accepting, but they also seemed to pick their version of some sin and make it a mission.  For one it was that women must cover their head during service, another was extremely against ever drinking alcohol.  Several profess to be open to any seeker, yet also refuse to allow people that are divorced, have tattoos, or even those that adopt children of a different race.  One SBC church excommunicated a family when they adopted some Korean children.  

Churches picking out pet sins and classes of people to effectively hate set a really bad example.

How about greeting me with a big Holy  Kiss?   

 

Romans 16:16-18English Standard Version (ESV)

 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them.  For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.

The amish and others still do that .   we are supposed to always look out for the other and some still do the holy kiss.

However kissing a computer screen feels a wee bit awkward,   how bout I just hug the screen for ya neighbor.    Now leapfor joy peoples

and armour up , a great deception begins and it is all tied into a false love , unity, world peace mindset.   Be on guard for its taking many now.
