Rant Never trust a non-Christian.

[James]

So they're sinful?

Yes, everything Christians did and thought was sinful when they were non-Christians.

by that logic all of humanity is a demon because they didn't start praying the nanosecond they exited their mother's womb

Only the Nephilim are unclean spirits.

So how are they ever guided to Christ if good thought is out of their capability? After all, all people, preceding their acceptance of Christ’s word as true, are going to have a “good thought” in their head of “this may truly be the Messiah,” for that thought is good because it is leading them to the truth of the faith. Therefore, there has to be a line where they think “good” in even the preceding seconds before accepting Him.
In addition, to bring a scriptural argument to this, what of Cyrus the Great? In the Book of Isaiah, it particularly highlights the goodness that Cyrus brought to the Israelitic civilization and the glory he brought to God even as he was without The Lord in his own soul, being a foreign Persian conqueror.
>Thus says The Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped, to subdue nations before him and to loose the belts of kings, to open doors before him that gates may not be closed: “I will go before you and level the exalted places, I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron, I will give you the treasures of darkness and the hoards in secret places, that you may know that it is I, The Lord, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name. For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my chosen, I call you by your name, I name you, though you do not know me. I am The Lord, and there is no other, besides me there is no God; I equip you, though you do not know me, that people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am The Lord, and there is no other." - Book of Isaiah, Chapter 45, Verses 1-6

Faith in the Trinity remains tainted by sin until it is sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Brother, I feel like you are repeating yourself. How? Besides, I'm not saying they aren't tainted by sin, I'm saying that non-believers aren't incapable of good thought and action.

Every thought and action tainted by sin is evil.

Plenty of “Christians” out here larping holy while they’re beta male pieces of shit too. Jesus Christ didn’t say “vet thy neighbor,” he said love ‘em, not slobber all over their bullshit. Don’t be a chudarist deepthroating church pews, cringe af.

1. No one said you're a bad person.
2. Your argument is literally "Christians give the credit to God while I give all of it to myself. That means I'm the better one." Christians acknowledge their own sinfulness while you don't. It comes across as a prideful statement if anything.

I'd elaborate more but honestly what you said doesn't deserve a detailed response. It's literally just throwing a hissy fit at seemingly nothing.

What am I supposed to say when someone says to never trust a non-Christian? Say “it’s all cool” and become buddies? If they’re going to start shit then I’m going to throw it back.

No, you shouldn't say anything because it would be sinful to do so.

Everything non-Christians do and think is sinful. Never trust a non-Christian.

What about me
