Re: OT: Shades of gray?

What a pig that preacher was and may I add typical of the fundamentalists I
have run into in my path, wastes of human flesh! I wasn't going to jump in
this thread but preachers like that are why I'm not attending churches --
there are way too many of them -- in fact I feel they all have a bit of that
in them.

If so, then that's exactly what I was referring to. Sitting here in
class, I don't have a Bible on me, but my belief is that it is not up
to me to judge whether anther person is a Christian because I can't
possibly know what is in his heart. Of course we are instructed to
show our Chrisitanity to others through our behavior, but since none of
us are perfect, it's entirely possibly to have the proper heart and
still make mistakes that would lead others, if they aren't on their
very best Christian behavior, to point fingers.

I sat at my father's funeral and listened to a fundamentalist preacher
say, almost verbatim, "Bill wasn't a Christian, so he's in hell today,
but you don't have to be." He honestly thought he knew my father's
heart. What a sick, sick example of a man professing to be a
Christian.
