I don't agree with Taxy, but it would be better if the Forum stopped piling on posters. That is my sense of this thread.

She is either an invented persona playing with the forum or a person who just disagrees with many here (including me, as I posted above)

But either way, there is no purpose in a pile-on.

I agree Taxy should be able to have her own beliefs...whether we agree or not.

Yes she should. That is one thing wrong with this forum and the ring leaders need to stop.

I do not think Taxy believing those who are not Christian do not go to heaven... as hate.

The other religion you are speaking of believes those who do not convert and believe should be killed...huge difference.

Pile ons are toxic to the people who post them, not to their recipients.

Sometimes I think people here just like the taste of blood in their mouths.

I do believe you are onto something as to one of the reasons behind pile ons.

No, there is no difference. It's their beliefs, you can't OK it for one religion and not another.

Well, OK, you could.

I don't understand why anyone would call material things "blessings from God" anyway. Material things are only temporary and mean nothing - or should mean nothing - we are supposed to lay up treasures "in Heaven," not here on earth; we are supposed to be humble, and live our lives in a way that is pleasing to the Lord.

There's something wrong with him if he things he needs a new jet. No preachers don't have to be dirt-poor, but why on earth would any sincere person who knows the Lord care about such luxuries?

No one needs that sort of life. I don't want it or need it.

As long as we have the Lord, we have EVERYTHING.

He is all that matters, in the end.....and so, people need to look into this prosperity stuff, because it's not true.

It's also not true that Christians never get sick; it IS true that the Lord paid for our healing and still heals people, but sometimes it doesn't manifest itself due to the wisdom of God and His timing.

Creflo's ministry is growing and thriving as I type. The reason why he wants to purchase a jet is the same reason any CEO from any company throughout the globe would want one, it's cheaper than leasing or flying privately. I have no issue with the demand that would cause him to need one, but making the request for funding public was a mis-step imho.

The OP of that statement is not that dumb surely.

ETA -Well maybe she is.

[croemer]

Hate is a strong word for simply having ones beliefs. Taxy has never said anyone should die for their beliefs...just a difference of opinion.

[YorkieonmyPillow]

I'm not piling on anyone; she obviously is free to believe what she wants; I was addressing C. Dollar. Just to let everyone know, I'm not trying to pile on.

When you teach that only one group will get into heaven, that is hate.

It is also the mantra that has been used against Jews over the centuries.

What are you implying Noel? Hate is a word to be used wisely...not thrown around too lightly.
