4. And they quote the Ten Commandments but ignore the Two that Christ taught - Love God & Love your neighbor.

23. Love God and love your neighbor as yourself.
That last part is really important.
It calls on each of us to give the same love, respect, and consideration to all people; as we give to ourselves, and expect to receive from others.
That's where many followers of Jesus fail miserably.

Faith without works is dead in itself. Show me a man who has faith and I'll show you a man who has good works

Lot of projection going on here

[enslaved1]

All the Catholic Democrats who vote for and push for abortion then complain when they don't get communion are all good, LGBTQWTF Christians and Christian allies are all good, James "God is non-binary, there are six genders" Talarico is all good, Christian liberals who are multimillionaires but donate little to nothing to the poor are all good, that same group who dump millions every year into Democrat campaign funds are all good, ect ect.

As long as people live Democrat Uber Alles, the rest of their adjectives don't matter to the moonbats. 

Loving your neighbor means, among so many other things, telling them when they are sinning and that their sins will land them in Hell for eternity, not encouraging or promoting their sins.  It means expecting them to follow the laws to maintain an ordered and civil society.  It means working to make our communities better, be that local, state, or national, which includes encouraging those who can take care of themselves to do so, not incentivize sloth, ignorance, theft, and violence.

Loving God includes, also among so many other things, recognizing Him as God, the Almighty, the Creator, and recognizing His rules and expectations of all of us.  It means fearing Him, not cowering fear, but the respectful fear of One who gave us life as well as free will.  It means acknowledging that His wisdom and rules are always right, even if we don't always like them or understand them. 

These nutters do as much, if not more, cherry picking of the Bible as they accuse Christians of doing.

Spew Bible verses? This is not a word choice motivated by hatred?

Deport humans? It's called deporting lawbreakers. This lying by omission is not motivated by hatred?

Shoot bystanders? Good, Pretti, etc., etc. were not standing, nor were they just "by". They tried to run over ICE officers. They ICE officers defended themselves, successfully. Calling attempted murderers "bystanders" is not motivated by hatred?

Tax the poor? Like tax laws written by Congress (Dems and Rs) and signed into law by Presidents (Dems and Rs) only tax "the poor"? Not middle class and wealthy people as well (and at higher rates than "the poor")? This lie by omission is not motivated by hatred?

Take food from children? How is this stoopid lie not motivated by hatred?

Think it's ok(sic) for children to die in schools by a shooter? Name one person who says that! Just! One! LIAR. How is this stoopid lie not motivated by hatred?

Take healthcare from the sick? OhBummer!Don'tCare was a failure, an abject failure. Admit it. How is this stoopid lie not motivated by hatred?

We don't think it's okay to shoot school children, we just think banning things doesn't address that problem.

False choice. 1. Do you even admit that God exists, let alone know what loving God means? 2. Enforcing laws against illegal immigration, murder, theft, rape, kidnapping, assault, etc. is loving my neighbor, because enforcing laws protects my (and others') law-abiding neighbors. As for feeding the hungry and visiting people in jail, are DU-grade Progs so ignorant that they do not know of the huge number of (Evangelicals, because that's who Progs hate) Christian charities and churches that do these things?

Oppaloopy knows what Evangelical (see above) Christians read? Really? Did (s)he, in reading the Sermon on the Mount (assuming (s)he has), notice these verses:

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

IOW, Jesus did not abolish the laws forbidding sex outside of marriage, homosexuality, theft, murder, perjury and false accusations, and envy (= covetousness).

I can't speak to what ChicagoTeamster believes true, but yesterday morning at my small megachurch, the 8-person worship band included at least three players and singers of non-European ancestry. The teams vary from Sunday to Sunday, with 6 or 7 being different each week, but 3 non-Europeans is average. The most frequent preaching pastor, who is also the senior pastor, is Korean, though the preaching pastor of the previous two or three weeks was a different Korean person. On different Sundays in the past 6 or 9 months, the preaching pastor has been an Assyrian or an Indian or an Iranian. Then there's the home group to which my my and I belong ... the first languages of four of last night's attendees were Mandarin and/or Cantonese.

That is some weird-### racism!

As for "idiots", I live in Silicon Valley, and in a small megachurch like ours here you can find engineers, doctors, trades people, CPAs, lawyers, yada, yada, yada.

The newspeak is strong with their choice of words, saying bystanders are getting shot. And yet, if Democrats had their way, we probably wouldn't be allowed to use anything but their approved wording.

[Movie buff- The Sequel]

We don't think it's okay to shoot school children, we just think banning things doesn't address that problem.

Oh, and speaking of which, the DUmmies have frequently made nauseating posts defending school shooters.
Over the years, they've made posts openly defending/ praising the Columbine shooters, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter, the Covenant School shooter, and many others.

A lot of the DemonRats who claim to be Christians are who are mentioned in Matthew 7:21

The rationalizing in that thread is disgusting and delusional.

Yeah...no.

Contrary to DUmmy tendencies to ascribe whatever meaning to words that happens to be convenient and useful at any given time, words do indeed have meanings, and they just aren't as flexible or malleable as DUmmies or leftists want them to be.

If an invading mass of people, or any part of an invading mass of people, makes camp across the street, that doesn't make them my neighbor, even if they're living in a building. Even if they're paying rent. Those particulars do not change who or what they are. Not at all what so ever. Not even slightly. Similar to how dressing like a female doesn't make you one. Another reality these ingrates can't wrap their pea brains around.

And citing a religious text that "calls on each of us to give the same love, respect, and consideration to all people; as we give to ourselves, and expect to receive from others", is less than meaningless coming from a member of the flock that only gives love respect and consideration to those who with nearly idental political positions.

This is alinsky rule 4 in action. Twist words to make someone elses tenets/rules/ideals mean what you think they should mean, then complain that they aren't living up to them.

These 'people' disgust me.
