Unscriptural Part II

Thanks for all your comments about "unscriptural". Here is what I have observed over the years. MOST.....not all, but most.....of the time I have heard the word "unscriptural" being used, it was used in one of the following three ways:
A) to talk about something having to do with worship
B) to talk about something having to do with the church building itself
C) a divorce or marriage situation

I can see where there would be legitimate times to talk about A and C in that context. Mind you, not as OFTEN as our fellowship normally has, but still.....I can see how that discussion could evolve. Right now I can't think of a situation involving item B when that discussion would have been appropriate. Call me naive, but I am just not aware of a lot of scriptures addressing our church buildings.

But this is what I find interesting..........you almost NEVER hear the word "unscriptural" used when talking about everyday life and discipleship issues such as attitudes, anger, lack of love, exclusiveness, arrogance, being judgemental,
being un-Christ like, etc. Have you noticed that, or is it just me? Let me know what you think.

This is from an op-ed piece from a daily newspaper in a large city in the USA. Granted, this guy writes about the most hatefilled and vile secular stuff you can find. It's evident to me he hates Christians. He is an extreme radical, and so you take what he says with that in mind. I wish I could ask him why he feels this way, and I just hope and pray that nothing in his answer would indicate that Christians have done ANYTHING to give him this perspective of us. This paragraph is taken out of a piece he wrote concerning the new "God-Tube" internet site, which has become popular and was modeled after the "You-Tube" site. Give me your take on what he has to say.


"Witness, in other words, the thing that modern Christianity seems to do best, and I don't mean help justify brutal unwinnable wars or slam gay people or bash women's rights or promote ignorance of stem cell research or science or music. Because oh h*## yes, that's there for you, in heaps and droves and mounds. I mean the other thing: to fracture. To splinter and divide and segregate. You know, to exclude."
