would sure be quiet on the 24 hour campfire if this guy was reviewing applications!

Damn you gangster rap!

He got me at alcohol drinkers.

At least he didn't include bacon eaters.

Sign doesn't mention community organizers.

Liberal plot.

prideful scoffers covers that!

I'm gonna have company at least!

Edit. Dang, I'm going to have to hurry at my age to get the rest covered.

uh oh

Someone found Ringman?

He needs to organize it into an itemized check list. I lost track of my score at backslider.

It's a sandwich board, that's on the back side.

Doesn't mention rounders,....Phew !

GTC

....but can I keep on loving my dog?

Yep, I had to enlarge the photo but there's an eye chart in the distant trees.

Naming sins is an idiotic way to evangelize. Everyone needs Christ.

A much better way is to lift up Christ as the redeemer for all the world.


The sign wearer is from a sect that would like to think of themselves as righteous because they have tried to abandon everything on the list.The problem is that they are considering themselves as righteous because of what they are able to accomplish, rather than as righteous because of what Christ has accomplished. Their list will never be long enough or comprehensive enough for them to earn Heaven by abstaining from the list.

AWwww, cut to the chase,
...the guy wearing that sign's an azzwhole.

GTC

I thought that's what I said! LOL

May be, but he'd be a hoot at a frat party.

I thought all sects thought they were going to be the exclusive inhabitants of the afterlife ?
Dont get me wrong, I believe in God and His son Jesus, but once an organization gets behind them ..

Mark me notified.

By the way, did he miss anybody?

Why is he talking about me?

Yep, self righteous sign toters.

Just to clarify, it's not just believing that saves you,as in believing they exist. It's relying on and trusting in Jesus that saves. As long as that's what you are saying ,you will be fine without group affiliation.

Even so I think you just haven't found the correct group. I would suggest a non traditional non denominational group. There is great benefit from joining with like minded Christians that want to lift and support each other ,rather than tearing down and talking about each other.

He forgot cat owners...

That guy needs diversity training.

In his world view, it probably already is covered by other categories.

Didn't Christ turn water into wine?

And for a bunch of folks that already wine bonged a couple casks at that.

That guy new how to throw a party.

Agreed.

I think he figured that one was *so* obvious that it didn't need to be included on the sign.


BTW where's TLee??

The sin isn't drinking alcohol. It's in drunkenness. Some churches consider all alcohol to be sinful but that's not scriptural. I once had a minister try to tell me that the Greek word for wine also included grape juice and raisins. At the last supper, grape juice would have been impossible because it wouldn't have kept since the harvest so he was saying that Jesus made his covenant with us by drinking raisins. I think not.

People thinking money is the root of all evil is another error, it's the love of money that's the problem.

Then there's the often misunderstood "judge not" passage.

Acknowledged.

Was referring to the wedding feast, where Mary asked him to handle the bar-tending after the first of the wine was already consumed.

Granted we need to consider everyone's tolerance, the alcohol content, and hopefully everyone's temperance, but surely, it must have been a festive occasion, and I can only surmise that libations were well into the issue when Jesus provided more.


queue 10 pages....

But he's 'saved' so all's good.

Fail to see the problem.

The guy is biblically accurate and spot on as far as Christianity is concerned....


It's just most 'modern' Xtians are coming to terms with how schitty their message is and are trying to sweeten it up, but it all comes back to: you're on that list and need savin'!

He got me at porn-loving masturbators

Didn't see anything about golden showers on there so I guess Donny is safe!

Regular jerk-offs are good to go.

Seven! I fit in seven of those categories.

And I'm damn proud of it.

(That HAS to be Obama holding the sign. Because on it, he blames everybody on the planet except him.)

I'll probably regret asking but just what is a backslider?

It's a *good* thing that the Bible is *not* the foundation of the Christian faith.

Someone who supposedly becomes a Christian but then sinks back into their old ways.

What if one loves porn but is to old to get it up to rub one out?

Guess I lost track counting my "shortcomings" and I didn't see shirker.

Then you get to shake hands with St. Peter...

Found a loophole, you are golden.

Unless you live by RockyRabb in Utah where they are specific about just porn being a public health problem.

He sounds like a fun guy. Is he available for bachelor parties?

That guy is gonna burn in hell just for that shirt and tie combo.

Any guesses as to how many pages this one will go?

You gotta see the antler too for 100% confirmation

You mean a sinner?

For whatever reason backsliding always struck me as describing something more egregious than garden variety sinning. Don't ask me to explain.

Cross

You have a WAY with words!!

Is it a perception of hypocrisy or something akin to rejection of faith?

Not a Christian but I thought that a basic tenant was we are all sinners even if saved through the grace of Jesus. People that try to 'go without sin' and fail are still saved nonetheless. Am I wrong?

Yep he missed people with ugly ties that try and hide them with stupid signs

I've heard there's a special place in hades for them

Oops just saw this. Spot on mm

Only partially. many Christians will tell you they are still sinners but only because most churches still ignorantly teach that. Saved people become one with Christ.You can't be both one with Christ and a sinner at the same time.

The misconception comes from thinking that sinning makes you a sinner. It doesn't,not if you are saved. I know that seems hypocritical but people that are truly saved don't want to sin. Of coarse they will,but their nature, or Spirit to be technical,has changed to not want to sin.

Think of it like this, before a person was saved by becoming one with Christ, no good deed or righteous act could save them. The only thing that could save them is trusting on the grace of Christ,that he paid for all their sins. That faith in Christ transforms them and they are born again,one with Christ. Now saved, an unrighteous act doesn't unsave them any more than a righteous act could have saved them.

The caveat is that when a person is really saved they want to stop sinning. Any person confessing Christ as their savior who really doesn't want to stop sinning is just a liar.


My disagreement with your statement is that all are not sinners. They are not sinners because they sin. A person is only a sinner if they aren't saved. A saved person is righteous before God,not because of their acts,but because of their trust in Christ.

The only difference between saved people and unsaved people is Christ. It is not based on their level of sin. However the saved person will continue to rid himself of sin and continue to resist sin. How well he does will depend on how well he understands that he has changed into a new person at salvation. people only change when they see themselves as different.

We're all sinners, even the most devoted Christians. This is someone who comes out of living a sinful life to start going to church and making an effort to clean up his life. Then he slides back into his old life. We all backslide at some point to some degree.

As I said above,we do all sin, but we are not sinners any longer. The scriptures calls us the righteousness of God, saints, redeemed,joint heirs with Christ, ambassadors for Christ,one spirit with God, but the scriptures never call saved people sinners. It does teach us not to sin,but that sin doesn't make us sinners again or else we would need to get saved again every time we sinned.

I think I see what you're driving at, but people who commit sins not being sinners still strikes me the same way as the Islamic State not being Islamic.

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Jesus came into the world to save sinners - and I *AM* the worst of them all. - Apostle Paul

Yea, I understand why it makes you feel uncomfortable. You want to say you are a sinner saved by grace because you know that you are only saved because of God's grace and not your lack of sin. You don't want to say that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus because it makes you feel like you are boasting to be something you aren't. It doesn't seem like humility.

The most humble thing in reality however is to submit to what God says about you and agree with it no matter how you feel about it. A humble person isn't disobedient to his master. He submits his own will over to the will of the master.


This is something God has been teaching me for about 5 years.As long as the Church still sees themselves as sinners,rather than as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus,we will continue in sin. After all why should I stop sinning since I'm just an old sinner saved by grace? I'll only stop sinning when I see myself as the righteousness of God,and as a new creation made one with Christ.

In the story of the prodigal son, the boy was eating the hog slop right along with the hogs,until he came to himself and realized who he was. He remembered that he had a father, and said to himself that even his father's servants were better off. What I'm saying is that he didn't stop being a pig until he realized who he was. Likewise a saint will never stop sinning unless he learns who he really is now because of Christ.

IMHO the OP forgot one: Self righteous people who wear their religion on their sleeve and denounce people for reasons Jesus never did.

And yet the same man claimed that he had defrauded no man and wronged no man, yet he was responsible for having many Christians imprisoned and even killed,of which Steven was one.

So was Paul lying in one instance or in the other, or was he at one time reflecting on the fact that he was a new creation and wasn't responsible for those things he did as a sinner, but at another time wanted to show that God's grace was available to all?

Soooo.....being a bacon eating masturbator I should be GTG...right....

I think that Paul, even though he was 'saved'...was *still* a sinner...as he said he was.

On Judgement Day, he will be 'passed over' for his sins because he is covered by the blood of Jesus...just as the Israelites were 'passed over' by the angel of death because their doorways were covered by the blood of the sacrificial lamb.

Apparently, you are GTG if you masturbate bacon.

Then what's the point? That's almost like jerking off into a rubber.

What about fake drunks?

I only ask because I'm concerned about Flave's eternal soul...

He's covered under 'Porn loving masturbaters'. And potty mouth. Can't forget potty mouths.

GFY

Worse than that, it's like catch n release, or QDM!

Must be a Pentecostal Baptist. They're a little off the rails.

I don't agree. The blood of bulls and goats atoned for sins,which is your reference of passing over. The blood of Christ isn't for the atonement of sins. It is for the remission of sins. It's a completely different Greek word.

I just think this is something you don't yet have an understanding of.I can discuss this farther giving you scripture reference showing you that we are not just forgiven sinners but new creations in Christ if this is something you would care to continue.

According to the bible we are not just forgiven sinners. We are perfected forever, we are new creations with all things of God, we are one with Christ, we are one spirit with God, we are saints. The Bible calls us all these things. They aren't untrue because you found a reference where Paul refers to himself as a sinner for teaching purposes to show the mercy of God in his life and to encourage others that no matter their sins they could be forgiven and changed.

Look at it like this. If the new covenant provided nothing but forgiveness from sins there would be no need of it. The old covenant provided a covering and forgiveness from sin through animal sacrifice. The New Covenant provides more. It removes the consciousness of sins from a person and transforms him into something different.No one under the OC could have God dwell continually within them because they could never be a fit vessel under that covenant.

We are one Spirit with God because our Spirit, which is the real us, has been changed incorruptible.When you are talking about sin,you are just talking about the flesh,which is not the real you.That's why the bible tells us to crucify the flesh and let it die so that we can live our life by the Spirit.

He forgot Judgers...

OK man. We disagree on the above.





"He (Jesus) *is* the atoning sacrifice for our sins..." - Apostle John

That's why I asked if you wanted to continue the discussion. It would be foolish for me to continue if you have no intention of ever changing your mind. On the other hand I think it is something that would be of great benefit to you spiritually if you could understand it.

I'm not mad at you though, and I'm not saying that you aren't saved because you don't understand what I'm trying to teach you. Have a blessed day my friend.

"He (Jesus) *is* the atoning sacrifice for our sins..." - Apostle John

Many times you will find that the King James translators used the wrong words when the passages doesn't fit with the majority of other biblical principal teaching. I haven't looked into that passage to know for certain. The principals of what I was teaching about the difference between atonement and remission is explained in depth in Hebrews chapters 8-12

What about 270 shooters?

I no longer have one, am I good to go?

Worried....

I predict 98 pages minimum...

My pussy cat asks you to reconsider.

He'd make a nice rug!

He forgot a couple on the list.
