When a Christian says, I will do such and such in November of this year!
From the teachings of James concerning Boasting about "tomorrow"........
It is written:
Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on a business and making money. Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrrow. What is your life?
You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead you should say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that. As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil.
Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins. - James 4: 13 - 17
It is a good lesson for all who wear the name Christian, that we say, God willing we will do this come winter. God willing, we shall attend such and such. God willing.
Hun, I don't see what any of this has to do with Hobby Lobby. Seriously, did you sleep under the nightshade last night?
No and neither will I hide my light under one, Sunshine. This man has used his Christian morals as an excuse to not carry Hannukah and Passover Jewish items in his store. According to his company workers... yet he announced according to latest report provided by Amelia that he has made an annoucement of "what he will do" in November. If he had said, God willing, I will do such and such in November then that is in accordance to the teachings of the Christian faith and according to the teachings of James - without including God first all other speech of his plans a month out is boasting and is evil. When we examine our walk according to scripture we can see more clearly what is going on, Sunshine. The path of the Christian is narrow, Sunshine. Not a wide road where folks do whatever they feel like doing and then tell everyone they are a christian.
Where does the Bible say that you have to sell menorahs? What merchandise you carry is a business decision regardless the reason.
