Matthews is such an ignorant jackass! All of MSNBC is for that matter!

[protochris]

The press orchestrated the election of Obama, hence the demise of our country.

@falcondriver100 Totally agree, they need to be taken OFF the air. They are so hateful and they do nothing but race baiting.

@falcondriver100 yep. and they have the worst ratings to boot. they rightly deserve it.

When is Chrissy ever right? He gets his ass handed to him so bad! that I started to feel bad for him...He's so in love with the Presindent that he forgets the facts, right or wrong...Remember the tingly feeling he get down his leg when the President speaks...I think he has a major crush on the man?...There's nothing wrong with that! lol

@Ginasong Well they may not be the same all the way down the line, but an opinion needs to be made in a judgement, that much is clear. And I think we're making real progress here, you've admitted you're view is an opinion. They're not set in stone, they can be changed. Hopefully someday you'll get over your hostile views of other religions, Islam in particular. Anyways, I've had fun. Good luck in life.

@classicor Judging is not making an opinion. We must make opinions about people all the time. A judge sentences. He makes a judgement....who will be sentenced....who will not.  God does lead and direct. Sometimes, with just a small voice...sometimes not. He is God and He can speak to us how He deems necessary.

[classicor]

@Ginasong Being judgmental is making an opinion regarding their lives. It's calling their god a false one, even if you truly believe it to be so. And God doesn't direct you, he doesn't lead you, if anything he influences you to make the right decision. People think he's in your head telling you to do this or do that. He gave you choice for a reason. God can't tell you right or wrong, it's up to you to figure that out on your own.

[Ginasong]

@classicor Thank you for sharing. I agree that our lives are to be an example. I'm interested in what being judgmental actually means. If I said I was a Christian and had God in my heart guiding and directing me and you looked at some of my fruits and decided I wasn't, would you be judging? Yet the Bible says we will know them by their fruits. As for forcing someone to believe, I don't think we can force anybody. But I believe we certainly need to challenge people to seek God.

[classicor]

@Ginasong Also, let me share with you an influential story in my own life. I once asked a preacher what he thought of people who didn't share his beliefs. He told me that he didn't dare judge them or what they believed, instead he said that he would keep believing what he did with the knowledge that eventually they would see the good his religion had on his life and they would someday convert. It may take generations, he said, but forcing people to believe isn't believing.

[classicor]

@Ginasong I'm sure telling them that everything they believe in is a lie and that their god is a false god is really going to sew up relations between the two religions. And, I do look at the facts, and the fact is that there are billions of Muslims throughout the world yet less than one tenth of one percent are terrorists. The same can be said about Christianity. You're the one taking the fact that some terrorists are Muslim to paint the entire religion.

[Ginasong]

@classicor I know enough about the Muslim religion to know it is not the truth. It is you who should study the Word of God to know the real truth instead of arguing the Bible with people when you don't know enough about it to argue your point to anyone who does know the Word.
