C, don’t get too worked up over ‘Pastor’ Chad. He was the one who made the replica of my blog. He has a mind of filth. Unfortuantely for him and his 1/10 working braincell – he forgets some of his congregation has access to internet and have seen what he has done and the things he has said across the internet. They emailed me. Ooopsss for Chad. I think some of them even contacted Duke Divinity School and the Methodist whatever board he belongs too.

All I had to do was sit back and watch how one of his emergent friends betrayed him and how one person from his congregation found him commenting on my website and that let them to reading Nics website and Iggy’s stuff. Well…they didn’t take it well.

So leave Chad to his own devices. He burnt his toast a while ago already and does not even know it…probably never will.

“Love the Lord your God…and your neighbor as yourself.” “Who is my neighbor?” The answer comes back: “Even your most hated enemy” And how does one show love to such people? Not by beating them over the head with your own perceptions of truth but by being a friend, by being in community with others, by lending a helping hand, by caring for the sick, by giving a drink of water, a plate of food, a shelter. That is love.
> Matthew 5: 44But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, (NIV, NASB, Amplified, NLT, ESV, NKJV, ASV, TNIV)
44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; (KJV)
44But I tell you to love your enemies and pray for anyone who mistreats you. (CEV)
44 But I say to you, love your enemies. Pray for those who hurt you. (NCV)
44But I tell you, love your enemies. Ask God to do good to those who trouble you. (Worldwide English)
NOT ONE OF THESE mention “your most hated enemy”. As a matter of fact, even Bibles in other Languages don’t have those words in.
This is where (I feel) one of the main roots of distortion lies – in the “extra’s”. Put in an extra word or phrase, so people will understand it. Says who? Your enemy is your enemy. No. differentiation between two of those. In this scripture it doesn’t say that your neighbour is “even your most hated enemy”. Chad, you are putting Mtt. 22:37-39 (Luk. 10:27) in the same sentence as Mtt. 5:44. You should know as a pastor not to do that? In fact, in Luk. 10, an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus with the question “who is my neighbor?”, Jesus went on and replied with a story about “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho” (NOT mentioning of what nationality the man was), and “robbers” stripped him (not mentioning the nationality of the robbers); these 2 people (ya, maybe representing these 2 nationalities) avoid the scène (didn’t want to get involved, whether by law or other reasons) – priest , levite; then the Samaritan helped him. Jesus asked 36″Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man . . . they answered “The one who had mercy on him.” Then Jesus told this law-expert to go do the same. I often ask WHY DO people tend to “add extra’s” to the Word of God? because in doing so, you distort the original and the meaning thereof.

“Please, feel free to show where anything I have said or any of my friends stands in direct contradiction to Scripture. This is your chance to show me, a lowly pastor, the error of my ways and perhaps you can save an entire congregation from the pits of hell.” Chad, the “adding to the Scripture” above, is one example to answer your question here. And please don’t belittle yourself by calling yourself names (I highlighted your words). YOU are saying it Chad, not others. Go and talk things out with the LORD God, all by yourself; wait on Him and HE will show you the error(s) of your way(s); and Chad, YOU are the pastor / shepherd of that flock! They are YOUR responsibility, God will ask them of YOUR hand. DTW has got NOTHING to do with saving your congregation from the pits of hell (pheeewww, I can’t believe such language and thoughts can come from a pastor ….) cecilia

>> “….the truth about your loveless religion ”

Ryan do you agree with that, what Chad said that we preach a LOVELESS religion?

Chad, I am sure you are copying and pasting all your comments else where as you have told me so many times. Go to Nics blog and comment there. Take some coffee with you and a picnic basket…

Run along now…

Ha! DTW, do you not notice that every time you get cornered and asked a question that exposes the truth about your loveless religion you delete me? If it weren’t so sad it would be hilarious.

DELETED – Chad when you learn to be nice I’ll think about letting you comment here again. Not sure when that is going to be…

Yip I did. In fact the entire Emergent gang who comes and comments here read another book. I think it’s Gulliver’s Travels.

Ryan said: Actually, the scripture you’re probably thinking of is James 2:19:
You believe that God is one; well and good. Even the demons believe that – and tremble with fear.”
The Scripture doesn’t say demons believe in Jesus. What it says is not the same as “believing in Jesus” which means you put your trust in and you wholly rely on Jesus.
The demons don’t “believe in Jesus”. They believe that God is one. In fact, I could perhaps say that they believe the FACTS of Jesus but don’t believe in the PERSON, which was my point.
Demons don’t pick up their cross and follow Jesus because they don’t follow Jesus or believe in Him.”

And Ryan, they do believe Jesus exists, they believe He is the Son of God, they believe that He can torment them night and day, they believe.They believe He can destroy them in an instance. They don’t however following him, they follow Satan, hence Satan has been trying to destroy the line of Jesus since the beginning of time. Kinda just like this article that Nic wrote.

Also:

Philip. 2:9-11

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

By saying what you have said you have pulled down the Divinity of Jesus Christ.

Acts 19:15
15 And the evil spirit answered and said to them, “I recognize Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you?” (These other were Jewish exorcists)

Matthew 8:29
29 And they cried out, saying, “What business do we have with each other, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”

Mark 1:24
24 saying, “What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are–the Holy One of God!”

Mark 5:7
7 and shouting with a loud voice, he said, “What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!”

Luke 4:34
34 “Let us alone! What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are–the Holy One of God!”

Did anyone catch that Ryan comment about demons not believing in Jesus? Do emergents have their own version of the Bible? What about Mark 5? “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God?”
