It’s always so pathetic when non-Christians, fake Christians, and ignorant Christians try to play the Quote-the-Bible game. Do they truly not realize that it is trivially easy to disprove their false claims?
So the GOP which long claimed “christian values” has now fully gone in on everything Jesus warned us against – greed, hypocrisy, division, and lack of compassion for the vulnerable. Wow. I wonder if they can get a refund on their bibles.
– Matthew Dowd
Fascinating stuff coming from a two-time divorcee and current adulterer, just to name two things Jesus actually warned his followers against. More importantly, Jesus absolutely did not warn against “division”, to the contrary, he told us that he brought it.
Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.
– Luke 12:51-53
And is it not strange, how these self-styled New Testament scholars in the media never seem to mention that Jesus also warned against Jews who reject him and named them sons of the devil who are not of God.
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me. Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”
– John 8:42-47
Many people like to speak for Jesus Christ. Some of them may even mean well. But I don’t think it is wise to falsely attribute one’s own words to the Son of God. Especially when one considers how his words have resounded throughout history and given shape to the past, present, and future.
