"Miron said, "Strange that men who wrote with what seemed deep Christian faith should turn traitor so easily!" Perhaps the answer was that in their writings Daianu and Ghinda praised Christ for the gifts He gives us-peace, love, salvation. A real disciple does not seek gifts but Christ Himself, and so is ready for self-sacrifice to the end. They were not followers of Jesus, but customers; when the Communists opened a shop next door with goods at lower prices, they took their business there." — Richard Wurmbrand https://www.morefamousquotes.com/authors/richard-wurmbrand-quotes/
"Montefiore's impression of Jesus was wrong. Jesus loved the Pharisees, although He denounced them publicly. And I love the Communists, as well as their tools in the Church, although I denounce them." — Richard Wurmbrand https://www.morefamousquotes.com/authors/richard-wurmbrand-quotes/
"If the heart is cleansed by the love of Jesus Christ, and if the heart loves Him, one can resist all tortures. What would a loving bride not do for a loving bridegroom? ... God will judge us not according to how much we endured, but how much we could love. The Christians who suffered for their faith in prisons could love. I am a witness that they could love God and men." — Richard Wurmbrand https://www.morefamousquotes.com/authors/richard-wurmbrand-quotes/
Yes, you are. ----------------------------- "The World Council of Churches in The Challenge of Proselytism and the Calling to Common Witness[16] states the following: 19. Proselytism as described in this document stands in opposition to all ecumenical effort. It includes certain activities which often aim at having people change their church affiliation and which we believe must be avoided, such as the following: making unjust or uncharitable references to other churches' beliefs and practices and even ridiculing them; comparing two Christian communities by emphasizing the achievements and ideals of one, and the weaknesses and practical problems of the other; employing any kind of physical violence, moral compulsion and psychological pressure e.g. the use of certain advertising techniques in mass media that might bring undue pressure on readers/viewers; using political, social and economic power as a means of winning new members for one’s own church; extending explicit or implicit offers of education, health care or material inducements or using financial resources with the intent of making converts; manipulative attitudes and practices that exploit people’s needs, weaknesses or lack of education especially in situations of distress, and fail to respect their freedom and human dignity."
Did Jesus ever command the people to spread the Word, or did Matthew? If it wasn't Jesus, then it was MAN, and not Jesus, and Jesus is the Bible.
Reminds me of noobs on ET who maybe are running a journal, and to prove the point on their winning system, cherry pick some charts here and there with squiggly lines.
