I understand that you all are saying that you are just relaying the views of those hypothetical people, but sometimes the messenger can't dodge the bullets.
You all are posting as respresentatives speaking on behalf of those hypothetical christians, and we are replying with our real life personal views. Don't take it as a personal attack, it is an attack on those beliefs/views. If our questions/comments don't personally apply to you say that...None of you "representatives/messengers" have denied having those same views so maybe some of the replies have been worded as if they are personally to you.
Nobody has said that there is something wrong with having a "zeal for christ" but when your zeal brings you to the point of making judgments about others that is a problem. When your zeal leads you to preach as if everyone is ignorant of the scriptures then it is a problem.
Most wars have been started/justified by overly zealous christians...
ETA: HTH did I get in this thred anyway. I usually don't discuss religion...oh I know, I came in to co-sign one of my fav. sorors...nevermind.

Let me say proudly in case I misspoke that I am a Christian, very happy to be one. My big thing is that no one said it was wrong or cast judgements on any of the greek organizations, they just quoted scripture and their interpretation of that scripture as it applies to their life. That was basically answering the question. No one assumed anyone was ignorant or the scriptures posted, but someone had to not have known where this was coming from or else this would not be a thread. I wish everyone peace and blessings regardless if I don't see things exactly as you do. Everyone's personal walk in their spirituality is there own at the end of the day. Everyone doesn't believe that the Bible is the infallible word of truth and even those who do believe might not do everything in the bible, including me. Just because people have different views does not mean we can't coexist peacefully.
