Christ is not for sale.
Jan 13, 2018 13:18:22 #
The more I live the more I see how christ is used as a sale argument and as a profit/power/influence maker.
This by the way is another reason why I do not set foot in any congregation.
I do not see how folks who claim to be christian can support any politician from any side and become politically 'engaged'. Many compromise their faith by doing so.
Church leaders who preach toward one or another political idea are false prophets, false leaders and commit sins against god. They push toward something that is morally wrong. While running program toward charity, food drive and the like, they forget that everything they preach can and will hurt someone. The current rhetoric for/against illegal immigrant is a blatant sample of it. Stay out.
Then you have churches where brazen leader ask for donations as 'seeds for wealth'. What kind of crap is that? Why are all those who are appalled by this not calling out the evil in this, the greed openly displayed? Do you really think that 'paying' some con man will make someone rich? Do you think christ is happy toward those who fall onto that trap? Remember it is our responsibility to speak out and denounce abuse made in the name of christ.
What can I add when I see church leaders asking for donations for 'healing'? How about asking 'for a plane' - among other things - to visit folks who live with less than a few dollars per month and could be fed for years with the price of the damned plane????
Why are church leaders so corrupt and no one pays attention? Why is no one called them out?
On another issue i have... Why are church leaders trying to prevent their... flock to make their own decision?
Do you not understand that we have allowed these to corrupt everything christ is about?
Some will say: "They (leaders) stand for what is right" blatantly ignoring that the 'new' rock they are looking at is sinking in quick sand and they with it.
All this is the result of placing christians in 'small bottles' in order to control them.
Have we abandoned all sense of being responsible in front of god? Are we so vile that we sell christ?
Remember, our bodies are parts of the body of christ. Respect yourself, respect your faith. In doing so you respect christ.

i believe that most are a business. Who was the one who said "God wants me to be rich, send me money."

Being a 'business' is not an excuse. As a business it is thievery anyway you look at it and disregarding the aspect of 'god'.
If you add god in the equation it is much more worse and despicable.

I believe you forgot your photo. This is for Christian photography.

The OP doesn't have the capability to express God's work in a photo. I'll put one in, though. This is a picture of church members who give superficially in both time and money to both a food bank and youth program where 100% is used.

Trying to divert the message is usual.
Same as placing folks on 'ignore' while not doing so.
You call yourself 'honest' when you are not.
Since I do not trust you I post a capture of your profile to expose the hypocrisy of your actions..

So, what's the problem? Was good done or not? Who servers the most? He who criticizes or those who give time and money in the name of Christ? What's your beef? If you don't contribute, then what's your reason for being critical of those who do? Maybe a little reading of the Scriptures, a little communion with the Lord and time given in His name might make a difference in this world. Do you not believe there needs to be some changes in the world? If you don't like this being done, go do whatever and stop being critical of others who do.

Yeah, you're right. I'm a hypocrite, a sinner and "the least of these". You can't call me any less than what I know I am. But at least I know I am one.
So Mr. Troll why can't you post a pic that exemplifies Christ and not your god worship of yourself??

Funny answer that shows how little you read and comprehend. That is your issue, not mine.

Sorry you feel the way you do. All I did was ask if doing good isn't better than doing evil or nothing. I can agree to disagree without malice. Go in peace.

Great witness to our Lord but I believe you mean sacrificially not "superficially". Thanks for posting and staying within the subject of the topic as sinatraman posted: "This group is for Christian photographers to share fellowship, photos that glorify God. Anything from church photos, baptisms,photos of the cross, anything including landscapes that inspire you to think of God. Those who are photographers for their church are especially welcome. Non believers can post photos of churches, religious statues etc. However NO SNARKY COMMENTS. this is not the place to debate the existence of God. Testimonies of what God has done for you or brought you from are always welcome." If only all would adhere to the objective of this "Christian Photography" post as stated by sinatraman all would be well. We can only hope.
"The OP doesn't have the capability to express God's work in a photo." This type of reply only fuels Rongnongno's ego, raises his ire and prompts and continues his insatiable desire to defend his arguments, call folks hypocrites, etc. Rongnongno feels he is the ultimate authority so, really, he needs to be left to himself unless you feel your bantering back and forth somehow fits within the definition of this topic and glorifies our Lord.

Do support those who have placed a 'for sale' around christ neck. This is additional to the crown of needles and you aprove of it by not decrying this behavior.
Instead you try to divert the thread into senseless drivel.
Enjoy your hanging, I am not a participant of that.
As to posting again? Trust me, It will come, when I feel I have to. Not before, not after.
By the way, I did post a couple of images here but not with 'quotes'. My images are about symbolism, not about churches and documentation of what is going onto your churches. One in particular so far has escaped scrutiny.
