However, THAT SYSTEM was NOT Christianity...Catholicism is NOT equatable to Christianity.

We don't like either, but your lack of use of the function just makes it annoying as hell to read.
Its SO damn easy...it even frames it in a nice little box and references the original poster.

That is what I have labored to convey to them. We proclaim Jesus not religion.
Here are some of my posts on the subject of religion:

Splitting hairs?
Jesus never used the word religion. The word never once left His mouth. If you can find where Jesus Christ said the word religion (literally, and verbally out of His mouth) then I will leave this site forever.

I'm curious to why you choose not to respond? Is it because she showed you your own hypocrisy?I chose not to respond because I reserve that right (there is never a need to explain that fact). What hypocrisy, what are you talking about? Xmarksthespot called the Bible a work of fiction and accused me of citing Bible references. How is that hypocrisy? The Bible is an external source other than me. I say things then I substantiate them by a source other than me. That is all I wanted you to do. That is not hypocrisy.
hypocrisy One entry found for hypocrisy.
Main Entry: hy•poc•ri•sy
Pronunciation: hi-'pä-kr&-sE also hI-
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -sies
Etymology: Middle English ypocrisie, from Anglo-French, from Late Latin hypocrisis, from Greek hypokrisis act of playing a part on the stage, hypocrisy, from hypokrinesthai to answer, act on the stage, from hypo- + krinein to decide -- more at CERTAIN
1 : a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not; especially : the false assumption of an appearance of virtue or religion
2 : an act or instance of hypocrisyAccording to this definition of hypocrisy I do not fit the description. I have not/do not feign to be a Christian. I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I do not feign to support what I say with sources other than myself. I do substantiate the things that I say with external sources other than myself (and I have used a mixed number and variety of sources/links. Case in point: I used a new one last night in reference to Mormonism showing that it is not the same as Christianity). As far as a false assumption of an appearance of virtue or religion, I do not subscribe to religion I believe in a Person. As far as virtue it would be foolish to toot my own horn.

I am not talking about "religion" I am talking about God. Religion is a means to an end. The end being a relationship (fellowship) with God. That is what people are searching for. But instead of coming to God through Jesus (as the Bible instructs) people have tried to get to God through self-effort (i.e., this man-made thing called religion). Religion has nothing to do with God. Religion is not some "thing" out in a vacuum. It is something that is man-made for the purpose of approaching God. But it is not the answer. Jesus is the answer. I know what the Lord God has revealed to me in His Word about what He thinks and how He operates.

Just because you claim not to be professing religion, it is implied. First of all the only religion I can think of Jesus CHRIST being a savior and messiah is CHRISTianity. So your are still pushing your religion unto us.

when there is no difference between the two, they are the same thing. You use Jesus and/or your religion to promote hate and intolerance. Basically, it's not my gay ass burning in hell you should be worrying about. It's your own difference-loathing, intolerate ass.

You are right, it is definitely a little of both though. You make it annoying to even attempt to read your arguements.

***My dear Brother-in-Christ Jesus:
Thank you for your post...it is a joyful experience to see "one of my own brothers" proclaiming the Love of Christ to these people on this thread. I am so gratified to know that you take your faith so seriously and labor so intensely to show your love to them by your faithful witness. We must endure to the end for the appearing of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is even at the door...and the chastening of His people Israel has begun. Pray for Israel, dear brother...for they need our prayers. Continue the labor for the fields are ripe for the Harvest...and when He appears He will give us the Crown of Eternal Life.
