Who's to defend the Lord Jesus the Christ? See my avatar, read Revelation quote, and you have my answer.
Now, if anyone thinks that any Christian must jump up and engage in apologetic bantering anytime and everytime some ignorant dolt (i.e., :troll: ) decides to yank the chain, think again.
Isn't that what "Truthsmacking" is?
Litte Debbie goes to school, goes up to Jenny, and says, "You're a skank! Well, y'are! Y'ARE! You need to repent before you go to hell!!!" Then she walks up to Steve and says, "You are a fornicator! You make me vomit! You need to repent before you go to hell!!!" Then she walks up to Rachel and says, "You're a Jew! You need to stop rejecting Jesus, before you go to hell!!!" Then she sees a Muslim girl crying. Her mother has died. Debbie says, "well, your mom is being tortured in hell for rejecting Jesus Christ, and worshipping a false God. Mohammed isn't going to help her now, I tell you what! But it's not too late for you!"
Then she goes home and thinks she's done the work of God.
The truth is, all little Debbie can do is bring fear and shame. Is that what Christianity is about? Is that the Good News? That we are all disgusting piles of filth, and that only Jesus can mask that from God?
The world is full of people that will call you a loser, a waste of space, that you have no reason to live, a pile of filth, simply because it's fun to be cruel, and sometimes, the wolves just put on sheeps clothing and continue to be cruel.
Justin was calling people on something, and they were offended, just like the Pharisees were offended at what Jesus said, Didn't Jesus know that they were the heads of the temple???? They were the teachers and studiers of the law!!! They were better than the other people!!!!
Fear and Shame. "Good News"?
