Do Christians Differentiate Between Ultimatum and Choice?
For quite a long time I've noticed that it's possible that christians do not differentiate between an ultimatum and a choice. I wonder how a christian would define ultimatum (not in any religious context). Would the christian definition of ultimatum conflict with the same in a dictionary?
An ultimatum is......
A choice is........

Like what Leewenhoekeinstein says here.
You should state your intention if you are going to twist words to crusade for the gay crowd or the pro-choice chauvinists  |

what a great question
great as in big and open ended and not well formed , but I can say try rephrasing the question.....and realize that The Term , Christian is just a term, no registration required.....and in the land of the private vote and self name- ing persons, I call myself an ignostic-believer..early folowers were not called Christian.....they were relels. and deep thinkers.

Assumptions.
Choice and ultimatum are two words in the english language. Each has a different meaning. |

Once upon a time I used to recite the Oxford Dictionary forward and backward, for my GRE test I had to take in the early noughties. So I must know what they mean
But you should state your intention of where and how you will twist the potential christian responses to fit your agenda  |

Incredible how tough it must be to differentiate between choice and ultimatum.
I don't plan to twist anything. I'll go by the dictionary definitions. How about you? |

Religion is not spiritual.
Religion plays politics.
