Bro. Joe:
> You know it is totally amazing that this string started
as just a simple offer to change to another phone service
that MIGHT be something some folks would feel more
comfortable supporting...
Me:
The point is that these "Christain" orgianisations are
trinitarian and the Bible is VERY clear about ANY support
of these:
Galatians 1
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other
gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you,
let him be accursed.
2 John 1
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine,
receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his
evil deeds.
Are you wishing someone God speed (God aid you in your
journey) when they give you a product and you give them
money for this product? Are you wishing the Government God
speed when you pay the taxes they demand of you?
Jesus said to give tribute (taxes) to whom tribute was due
and in that day this meant the Roman empire. Was the Roman
empire any more or less vile than the Government of today?
What were the merchants of that day like?
What about doing business with those who offered meat to
idols? Paul said to go ahead and BUY the meat with a clear
conscience but to not partake of the evil.
Now I have another question. Is it wishing this "Lifeline"
company God speed to purposfully switch to them KNOWING
they are supporting worship of a false God?
This kind of thing "looks" harmless enough. Is it?
