John, from your very first post on 04/05/09, you revealed your true colors
when you stated:

JJW> Room for heretics in here?

You acknowledged and reaffirmed your heretical position in a message that
you posted on 04/15/09 when you stated:

JJW> Happy with the handle 'heretic'...

On 04/11/09, you first revealed your desire to debate and attack in a poem,
in which you stated in part:

JJW> 17 posts in this one packet
JJW> I'll not take the time to attack it

The very next day on 04/12/09, you again confirmed your desire to debate and
argue when you stated:

JJW> I love debating, and arguing. I dislike quarreling :-)

Contrary to what the Bible states about God the Father, you implied in
several posts that God is female:

JJW> Or to think that they can understand Her :-)

JJW> He can't, having the answers. SHE can, however, She is curious; the
JJW> equivalent to Her putting her hand on a hot stove would be, evolving
JJW> creatures that become extinct.

On 04/12/09 you also agreed with Lee Lofaso when he said that God is female.

Also on 04/12/09, you questioned the need for Christ's Sacrifice on the
Cross, and question God's choice of the Cross as part of the Salvation Plan.

JJW> Because He [God] couldn't have just said "Your Sins are
forgiven!", but
JJW> He decided to do this to His son...

JJW> Ah, The Lamb Of God - sacrifice . . . I don't understand. Why were/are
JJW> people so easily convinced that sacrifice is a really good idea?.

In the same message, and contrary to the Biblical message that Salvation can
only be obtained through faith in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ, you offer
your own Buddhist alternative:

JJW> Buddha, to Arjuna: "Work out your own salvation"

You were promoting the merits of a false religion in our Christian echo.

On 04/13/09, in a conversation regarding how Islam denies the Divinity of
Jesus Christ, you appear to have a preference for accepting Jesus'
teachings, but not His Divine Role as the Son of God:

JJW> As does the Jefferson Bible. I'm surprised it isn't more popular. Just
JJW> the teaching of Jesus not a word about his divinity.

On 04/16/09, you contradicted the widely-held Christian belief that the
Salvation Plan is the central message of the Bible, when you stated:

JJW> THAT is where Kochman/Snyder basically, fundamentally errs. The central
JJW> message is the teachings of Jesus. But if you are saved by grace and
JJW> belief in a coming resurrection, you can forget all that nonsense about
JJW> loving your neighbor, not judging, being a good samaritan, the
JJW> discourses on Matthew ('from the Mount) ...

With those remarks, you clearly reveal that you don't even know what the
teachings of Christ are. Throughout the four Gospels, Jesus preached the
Message of Salvation, through His own Death on a Roman Cross.

In another post, also on 04/13/09, you stated the following:

JJW> I could of course, be mistaken, but I don't think the Koran denies,
JJW> rather it merely ignores concepts like the crucifixion and
JJW> resurrection...

Yes, Mr. Wilson, you are mistaken. The Qur'an very clearly teaches that
Jesus was not crucified on the Cross, and that He was not raised from the
dead. That puts it in direct contradiction to Christian teachings.

Jesus clearly exposed the false teachings of the religious leaders of His
day, as did the First Apostles. We evangelical-minded Christians carry on
this same tradition today, because we are obligated to do so by God's Word.

JJW> Oh, I agree...my weird brain believes that every religion has reasons
JJW> for their creation and provide something valuable to adherence.

Yes, other religions which deny the Divinity and Sacrifice of Jesus Christ
most certainly do serve a purpose; Satan's purpose; and that is to
intentionally deceive and confuse people, so that when the truth of the
Gospel comes along in their lives, they have a difficult time accepting it.

In another message on 04/14/09, you frowned upon those who have a conviction
about their beliefs and stated:

JJW> ...I believe (!) you are correct...those who are blessed with certitude
JJW> should be whipped, I'm sure of that.

The Bible says that we're to be firm in our beliefs, and not doubt or waver:

"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of
God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on
the name of the Son of God."
1 John 5:13, KJV

"A double minded man is unstable in all his ways."
James 1:8, KJV

Furthermore, the Bible instructions us to preach the Gospel with boldness
and conviction. Sadly, you mistake that for pride and ego:

"And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth
BOLDLY, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an
ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak."
Ephesians 6:19-20, KJV

"Quench not the Spirit."
1 Thessalonians 5:19, KJV

"Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this
adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be
ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
Mark 8:38, KJV

"For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity
is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!"
1 Corinthians 9:16, KJV

In a message on 04/16/09, you revealed that you reject the Creation Account
in Genesis, and accept Darwinian Evolution:

JJW> As a part-time rational being I of course accept evolution as proved. I
JJW> happen to conjecture that evolution has not ended...and perhaps Jesus is
JJW> a harbinger of an evolved human race...

Also on 04/16/09, you stated:

JJW> . . . I could not be constrained by these rules anymore than you would
JJW> feel in joining a group to discuss religion in general but mentioning
JJW> the bible was forbidden.

Which is exactly why you do not fit in here Mr. Wilson. This is not an echo
to promote the beliefs of other religions. It is a Christian echo. Period.

In your rebuttal on 04/18/09 you again reveal that your main problem seems
to be your liberal attitude. You want to accept all religions, even though
the Bible states that Salvation comes through Jesus Christ alone. Any
religion which denies this fact is false, and yet, you freely embrace them:

JJW> Here you, err. I have never mocked another's beliefs. All deserve
JJW> respect and justify challenge.

JJW> On leaving, one of my beliefs: The soul of ALL religions is compassion.

John, just because a religion preaches peace, compassion, etc., does NOT
make it true. In fact, that is what makes belief systems like Buddhism so
dangerously deceptive; they entice people with half truths, but they leave
out the main ingredient: Christ's Sacrifice...the ONLY way to Salvation:

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me."
John 14:6, KJV

By denying Christ's Sacrifice -- the central tenet of our faith -- you do
indeed dishonor the Christian faith.

Referring to Mr. Joe Bruchis., you stated:

JJW> I'm not allied with him. Please.

You may not be his ally, John, but you certainly enjoyed and agreed with
some of his ungodly posts. After all, you did state on 04/15/09:

JJW> I am really enjoying your posts to Snyder. (Kochman?)

John, you also stated:

JJW> I've a bag-full of theologians on my side of the fence, and they are not
JJW> all led astray idiots. :-)

John, nowhere, in any of my messages, have I referred to anyone as an idiot.
While I may not agree with some people, I do not need to resort to silly
name-calling in order to make my point. I'll leave that to other Fido users.

I will make my final comments in a second message to you, John.
