I originally commented with:
"You of all people should not be complaining about Vizio's insisting when you do no less"
Interpretation: You apparently do not see in yourself the same premise of attitude while engaging to any person that doesn't automatically "agree" .... thus the "when you do no less"


2)
"Because to you, any disagreement with your personal perspective constitutes trolling." ~ Katzpur
I originally commented with:
"other than disagreement with you comes with the howls of bashing"
Interpretation: unlike you, Vizio doesn't just have only a platform of disagreement, nor does he have the ready stand by defense of ..."oh you're bashing my religion" proven stop gap method, while relying on the sympathetic usual amigos crying "you're bashing-bashing" that one can expect to coming running like a water boy. ... thus the "with you comes with the howls of bashing"
Vizio said, "Discuss, yes. Troll? No." I have never accused people who disagree with my position of being trolls. That is exactly what Vizio was doing. Furthermore, I have never accused people whose interpretations of the Bible to be different from mine to belong to a pseudo-Christian cult. That is also what Vizio did when he said, "And it would be nice to have actual discussions of Christianity, and not pseudo-christian cults." Everybody is entitled to post on this forum, and nobody has the right to label anybody who claims to be a Christian otherwise.

Don't make this thread personal, twin.

On the other hand, it would appear that the Christian God was asleep at the controls during the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on Same Sex Marriage. Maybe he had the day off?

Or maybe He lets people run their own governments.

But that is you operating on a faulty premise of what a Christian foundation consists of.

Katzpur, bashing has never been your mode of operation.
Unlike, some of those on this forum - every chance they get.

Cats purr,
it's a natural healing mechanism; dogs bark!

Their mostly territorial, believing they are protecting Christianity?

This is not about people having different views of what scripture says, but, rather, about those who have abandoned scripture altogether --- except for giving it lip-service. Yes, 'Sound Doctrine' has all, but, left the CD Christianity forum 'building.'
And that is why I have "left the building" too.

It's ok. Not all claims can withstand public scrutiny.

You're restricting God, who you don't believe exists, to the God of the Fundamentalists.

It's difficult to have an open-mind with clenched fists.

Really? My premise is that the foundation of Christianity is the Lord Jesus Christ, Savior of the world. It's that's a false premise, He has a lot of people fooled.
