They are only the misrepresentation of what it means to be Christ-like.</div></blockquote> <br /> Oh, I don't know. If "Jesus" actually lived and taught that people deserve to be tortured eternally just for not believing in his message, then the Phelps people are genuine messengers on his behalf.</div></blockquote> <br /> But Jesus never taught that according to, what I remember from, the Gospels.</div></blockquote> <br /> You should look again. Matthew 25:41-46:<br /> <br /> "41 ???Then he will say to those on his left, ???Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.??? <br /> <br /> 44 ???They also will answer, ???Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you???? <br /> <br /> 45 ???He will reply, ???Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.??? <br /> <br /> 46 ???Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.??? "<br /> <br /> Combine that with John 14:6: ""I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.""<br /> <br /> Am I missing something?</div></blockquote> <br /> Funny, because these are some of my favorite lines. <br /> I guess I wear filtered lenses when I read these things. <br /> <br /> To me the lesson is that we are called upon to Feed the hungry, Clothe those in need, Care for the sick, Help those in Prison and welcome the Stranger. <br /> <br /> The meaning is when you help a moocher in your house it is the same as if you had helped Jesus. <br /> And when you deny someone food or health care it is the same as denying Jesus in his time of need. <br /> <br /> This, along with; treat others the way you would want to be treated, is all anyone needs to know about religion. <br /> <br /> All that eternal damnation stuff is bullshit and should be ignored.</blockquote> <br /> Somehow you don't hear, "That Jesus, what a bullshitter!" much in churches though.
