I am once again amazed at how angry people get when christians tell things as they are. If a man steals, is he not a thief? If a man lies, is he not a liar? If a man kills with malicious intent, is he not a murder? If a person rebukes the laws of God and the bible, are they not heathens? The word of God is what it is. The Truth. Simple as that? Men and women of God let's keep spreading the word. Are you with me?

Yes , of course he is a thief . But we have to forgive him for stealing , Mark 11:25-26 . Some people just don't understand the Word of God .1st Corinthians 1:18 , The Word of God speaks for itself , I challenge you if you have a problem , to search in the Bible for answers . I have found answers practically every time I needed to . There are some occasions where you have to just have faith that God will pull you through . 2nd Timothy 3:16-17 . My favorite Scripture is Philippians 4:13(Notice the Words all things) God bless you and your family

Yes! There is no relativism, except that it be relative to some truth and in a society that has come to accept relativism, they have forgotten to carry it to the nth degree - or have they done away with the mathematical nth degree too? In any case, truth is truth and lies are lies, and gray areas are legal reasons to be into the affairs of God's arena - as God did not say we would sometimes know what is right and what is wrong, but as his children, we would always know what is sin and what is not. James 4:17

tetchily yea but a thief that steals to feed a starving family is a thief with a good cause. just because someone steals does not mean they are a bad person. lien to protect someone is not bad either unless they deserve it. but my point is don't judge people by their actions but by their intent

Yes , if a man steals he is a thief...cut off his hand. If he lies he is a liar, cut out his tongue, if he kills, he should be killed. The laws of God? Or are they the laws of man? Since man has been proven to lie and the Bible being written by man, how can you trust this to be the laws of God? I do believe in a higher deity (God) but without proof it's hard to believe in the Bible.

No I would rather be a heathen. I live a moral life, I just don't believe in a high power. I would much rather live a life in which I treat others well and don't hurt anyone and don't believe in a god then a life in which I do and I look down on others because they don't have the same beliefs as me. It doesn't bother me that anyone believes in a god, it does bother me that because someone doesn't or believes in a different god that suddenly they must be morally corrupt and a bad person.

The Police Chief is also planning to take the help of Women's Cell as the office where theft took place only has women employees and we all know that women are less comfortable interacting with men who are after all disturbing them like hell The preceding sentence makes very little or no sence what so ever and thus your riddle is LAME!! 2 points...yoink

Certainly. And if stealing is taking that which is not yours, then all men are thieves.
People don't get angry at christians for "telling things as they are". People get angry at christians for expounding on their unsolicited opinions.
I'm sure it isn't surprising to you when i put it this way: if someone doesn't ask for your opinion on the matter, then, no, they don't want to know about your beliefs. They certainly don't care that you think they're going to burn in hell if they don't believe the way that you do.
And that's the key - other people don't agree with you on what the "word of god" is. If you don't want people to get angry at you, then keep your opinions to yourself. Don't try to convert people, and don't verbally condemn them.

i am with you yes but let me clarify..what word are you spreading? the world doesnt want to be condemned by you or me as christians or get the "word" crammed down their throat... and thats not doing any good imo..what did Jesus say to do? Let your light shine wasnt it? so yes bring the word of God to where it is recieved and let the truth shine out no matter where you are and dont deny Him...but the strategy of telling people theyre condemned doesnt do a bit of good. Remember also what Jesus said...whoa to the world because of offense...we should at least be careful and try not to offend. its not us against them and "fighting evil" is specifically pointed out as somthing not to do by Jesus...He came to save the sinners not the righteous...He lived and ate and hung out with sinners and got along with them...we shouldnt forget that and we are not above our Master.
