Give my Preacher cousin his 15 minutes of fame

[A Theist]

for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me;

Then in verse 6 He says...

And shewing Mercy unto thousands of them that love Me and keep my commandments.

You left out that part.

Everyone remembers what God promises  to he who tosses His salad.  (Don't ask me which verse that is, I don't speak scripture.)

To he who tosses His salad?

[SteelCurtain]

So, what's his explanation for why the godless secular nations of Europe seem to get better results in this regard?

I wouldn't know.

I wouldn't have expected you to.

Ask your cousin when they took the Lawds prayer out of churches.  Because a couple of them have been shot up too.  Thanks.

Maybe those shot were some of those third and forth generation types that were still being blamed by God ?

And apparently accepting Jesus in regards to ones Salvation is pre-empted by that third and forth generation blame clause from Almighty God. I appreciate that being made clear above in post #14.


Always check the fine print on offers from preechurs, prophets, and others representing God.

Do you have ANY idea how many commandments you (personally 'you') break each and every day?

I lost count.

If you fail to keep the commandments, you do not love God, and so he will have no mercy upon you.  He will punish your issue unto the 4th generation.  So, when a grandchild of yours is diagnosed with inoperable, unremittingly painful cancer, have to good grace to admit that it's your fault.

I was quoting my cousin.  I did not edit his comment.  Read.

You can't ask a guy like this anything.  Any response other than "Amen" and "Preach it brother!" is a personal attack.

I have a 1st cousin who is a Methodist preacher in Tennessee.  I read - somewhere - lately, that Tennessee is 80% Christian.  So-called Christians like Joey.
His response to his "flock" about the Florida shooting was that it was God's punishment for taking prayer out of schools in 1963.

I could have "shared" his post on FB, but hey, he loves his guns and I have very few family members that speak to me as it is.  But I want to get his views out there.  I want the world to see this sickness.  And I don't know how to do it.

So I'm asking anyone here who enjoys posting stuff to various social media outlets to consider posting this.  Somewhere.  Anywhere.  I would take suggestions on other places to post it myself as well.  (A few friends have already posted the black meme on Facebook.)  
Thanks.

First a small suggestion. While I do like the idea of sourcing the quote (particularly if you are going to give names). In that situation, I would ask myself, what am I trying to accomplish by giving a name and facebook (basically giving an address for this person)? What is the goal of all this? Asking people to anonymously put this out there seems a little scary to me. The mob is stupid and often angry now days, and you may get more than you intended. You said, you still talked to this cousin (I don't know if that means that you like this family member), but even if you don't , consider what could be the consequences.

That said, I hate when people do this. And it seems like the ones who do; do so every time (unless it is them who falls on misfortune). Whether it's a natural disaster, or the evilness of man, these things are not always to be considered a punishment, or that they where worse a sinner than you are. If talking to another Christian, I would ask them why they felt the need to speak this, and caution them about taking the Lords name in vein. It looks bad, and if they are not speaking for God, but just guessing, then it is very bad (false prophets where never looked upon well).

Now a suggestion; I didn't look at the Facebook link, which I see you added later. But most of what I disagree with, I believe is you talking not your cousin. I think that it would be better if you used direct quotes more. While what he said (that you quoted) certainly makes me pause, and ask questions, it's not necessarily that bad. Was there more that was said, or are you making a liberal interpretation. It is difficult to tell, and you would probably be better letting him speak for himself.

Looks like we're both in the same hand basket then. 

...with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

IMO you're coming across as an intolerant bullying bigot who is potentially engaging in possible illegal internet activity.  If you have problem with your superstitious twit of a cousin you should be man enough to tell it to his face and not stir up a mob to lynch him.
