Re: The Meaning Of The Trinity
nrw, I don't care if some Democrats are critical of what
trans activists are pushing. It is still supported by the
Democratic Party.
The Democrats also support murder of their own
children. And they will attack someone without
mercy if they speaks against it.
Some Nazis were against annihilation of the Jews, and
some Mualims were against 911, but this did not
prevent the acts.
These videos of women packing their signs that
promote abortions, while screaming "kill, kill, kill,"
makes America look totally sadistic.
If there were a Republican candidate that supported
these ideas, then I would not vote.
I will put my money where my mouth is. I will never vote
for a candidate or a party that supports an agenda that
is contrary to God.
Did you support the Black national anthem at the Super
Bowl.
The Democratic Party seeks to divide us, not unite us.
Anyone can figure out why they do this, if they would
just stand back and truly observe.

That still more bullshit.

Whenever you vote Republican, you do just that.

I paid no attention to the Super Bowl.

Re: The Meaning Of The Trinity
nwr, are you really as ignorant as you pretend to be?
These perversions are supported by your party: the
Democrats.
If you do know what your party stands for, I suggest
that you contact a politician of that party, they will be
glad to tell you that I am right.
The Democrats are the party that kills babies.
They are the party that's thinks a man can become a
woman and vice-versa.
They are the party that castrates young boys and
cuts of the breasts of young women.
Kenyan born president Obama stated that if a baby
survives an abortion it is acceptable to place it on a
back shelf and let it starve.
Where is the compassion of this former Liberal president.
Oh, that's right; he doesn't have any.

Burning The Candle At Both Ends
Candle2, im going to have to put you in check. There has been a valid complaint.
complaint writes:
Why is this kind of smear allowed to continue over and over without so much as a comment from admin?

This is definitely not "understanding through discussion," instead it's just a firehose of hate straight from Fox!
I used to be an administrator here so I'm going to act like one for a minute.
(I can also learn from this discipline, by the way)
First, lets address the Forum Guidelines.
quote:
Please follow all moderator requests. Concerns about moderation should be taken to the Report Discussion Problems Here thread. (which is where I found your complaint)
Please stay on topic for a thread. Open a new thread for new topics. (I'm as guilty of this as anyone around here. The focus should be on professionalism and politeness)
When introducing a new topic, please keep the message narrowly focused. Do not include more than a few points.
Points should be supported with evidence and reasoned argumentation. Address rebuttals through the introduction of additional evidence or by enlarging upon the argument. Do not repeat previous points without further elaboration. Avoid bare assertions.
Bare links with no supporting discussion should be avoided. Make the argument in your own words and use links as supporting references.
Avoid lengthy cut-n-pastes. Introduce the point in your own words and provide a link to your source as a reference. If your source is not on-line you may contact the Site Administrator to have it made available on-line.
Never include material not your own without attribution to the original source.
Avoid any form of misrepresentation. (Are you guilty of this?)
Do not participate as more than one ID. You may change your user ID by going to your Profile Page and creating a new alias.
The sincerely held beliefs of other members deserve your respect. Please keep discussion civil. Argue the position, not the person. (This is important. Don't attack nwr personally. Stick to the position.)
Usually, in a well-conducted debate, speakers are either emotionally uncommitted or can preserve sufficient detachment to maintain a coolly academic approach.
-- Encyclopedia Britannica, on debate

Now lets review what you said. I will comment now as member Phat.
quote:
These perversions are supported by your party: the
Democrats. (You are assuming that nwr is a Democrat.)

If you do know what your party stands for, I suggest
that you contact a politician of that party, they will be
glad to tell you that I am right.(This makes no sense. Both you and I need to study thoroughly what the Democratic Party officially stands for before we sling mud.)

The Democrats are the party that kills babies.(Ridiculous. You make "them" sound like a cabal of satanists involved in a ritual! Lets get real!)

They are the party that's thinks a man can become a
woman and vice-versa.

They are the party that castrates young boys and
cuts of the breasts of young women.

Kenyan born president Obama stated that if a baby
survives an abortion it is acceptable to place it on a
back shelf and let it starve.(I liked Obama, FYI. He was born in Hawaii according to the info I have)

Where is the compassion of this former Liberal president.(You dont see it? I certainly do.)

I will put my money where my mouth is. I will never vote
for a candidate or a party that supports an agenda that
is contrary to God.(My position is that SOURCE=God and CONTENT=Secular Agenda. I will also never throw SOURCE away. Thats about as far as I agree with you.

Re: British Humor Writ Large
It takes quite an imagination and ego to think a god would actually die for us, after condemning us unjustly in the first place.
Why were we condemned unjustly? Who defines just cause?
Christians have swallowed a lie and don’t care how evil they make Jesus to keep their feel good get out of hell free card.
Why would we need a get-out-of-hell free card? What crime would send a Christian to hell?
It is a lie, first and foremost, because, like it or not, having another innocent person suffer or die for the wrongs you have done, --- so that you might escape responsibility for having done them, --- is immoral.
Who defines morality? Who judges it? Who executes the sentence?
To abdicate your personal responsibility for your actions or use a scapegoat is immoral.
Good springboard for further discussion.

Yes, it is for those who wish to recognize immoral concepts.
You asked who judges.
Your bible says you do, but you did not render your due and duty.

Re: British Humor Writ Large
Wiki:
Tritheism is a nontrinitarian Christian heresy in which the unity of the Trinity and thus monotheism are denied. It represents more a "possible deviation" than any actual school of thought positing three separate deities.

You tend to sound poetic and wise at times, yet you lack full comprehension. It makes me wonder why you chose to embrace Gnosticism rather than just do as the majority of the other peanut gallery members did and ditch ALL religion. Care to answer that?

So again.
  • Why did you prefer to twist scripture in order to make yourself Deified rather than drop religion altogether?

    Re: Burning The Candle At Both Ends
    Phat, you are right in that I have gotten off topic a
    number of times.
    And, I will agree that this is a valid issue.
    You have accused me of not providing sources, which
    I oftentimes don't.
    All of my Biblical sources I cite-100% of the time.
    You have disagreed with me concerning the
    Sabbath Commandment; Sunday service; the
    nature of God; the trinity; women pastors; and,
    several other issues.
    All that you have offered as rebuttals are your opinions.
    According to the policies of this board, you need to
    cite chapter and verse.
    I will henceforth provide sources, but I expect you to
    do the same.
    I will provide sources for my last post, the one that
    upset you so badly.
    After I cite my sources, I will no longer deviate from
    the topic being discussed, as long as those who
    reply to my posts do the same.
    Being that I do volunteer work at two animal shelter
    locations, I will post my past sources over the next
    couple of days.
    I feel since you so stringently objected to my not
    providing sources for my points of view that it
    would be appropriate for me to do so.
    I want to abide by the rules of this forum.

    Re: British Humor Writ Large
    Atheists are not as wise and do not recognize the value of religions.
    This is demonstrated by their slowness in creating new atheist churches and mystery schools.
    At this point in time, they are likely the ones contributing to the horrid suicide rate in the young.
    No fellowship creates all the bullying we now see, --- as social bonding is universally reduced.
    A friendly cell phones does not replace a friend on the phone.

    As a Christian, aren't you supposed to believe that what the Bible tells you that God and Jesus want you to do and command you to do is actually what you are supposed to do?

    And why is it that you, a Christian, not only do not know that, but fight so adamantly against it?
    But I really dont fight against it. I try every day to do the best that I can and show empathy and love. I rarely gripe, except to you guys.
    Add By Edit:
    OK, yes, I fall short. My belief is that we all are human and all are prone to immaturity and occasional ignorance. I am likely worse than you are, because you were in the military and have built in discipline. My goal is and will be never to throw away my beliefs but, rather, to strengthen them and be the best that I can be...not as a zombie "soldier for Jesus" but as a real life, interacting and communicating human. This is addressed to all of you, by the way.
