Re: Pick up at the other BoM thread ?
Nothing like some good ole' "judge not lest ye be judged" to spice up the conversation. Sure is nice of you to condemn someone to hell, especially considering you are God. Oh wait.....

Re: Pick up at the other BoM thread ?
Oh ok. You are not God you just somehow have the right to speak for him.
Luke 6:37
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
It seems to me that telling someone that they are going to hell does little to make them want to listen to anything you have to say. Pushing someone away is not being Christ-like nor is it furthering your cause.
Add on top of that the fact that you have no idea who that person is who you just condemned to hell. All you did was react with condemnation toward sarcasm. Your judgement will forever be inferior to God's judgement because you do not know the soul of whom you condemn.

Re: Pick up at the other BoM thread ?
I am not sure I understand the question. Are you asking how would I have responded to jar?
If so, I would have simply chuckled and further disregarded it. I would have left it as the satire it was meant to be. Certainly I would not have come to the conclusion that, by my authoratative knowledge of God's will, that the speaker was going to hell.

Re: Pick up at the other BoM thread ?
Have you stopped to think that maybe the speaker is trying to 'usurp' YOU through satire. Or maybe the speaker was just trying to add some comical relief to a serious discussion.
The key here is, you can't know because you are limited by your senses while God can see a persons soul. You have no right to judge someone based on a statement that is most likely made in jest.
Even if it wasn't made in jest, what gives you the right to condemn another Christians' mental vision of God?
