The "No?" in the end of my post, means you can explain your point if I was wrong. So, agape is NOT god then?
Please ask the followers of that belief system.

It was written by the late Clark Pinnock, an influential evangelical theologian.

But from a moral perspective I would agree with his assessment.

I was talking about this post above. Where you conveniently left off the authors name.
But we already know your modus operandi which is misdirection and manipulation.

And, as I have stated "from a moral perspective I would agree with his assessment.

I prefer not to put up with their anger and game-playing.

So, I take it you do not share their beliefs then.

Go cry me river

I quoted the whole thing, and even gave you the link so you can read it again, and now you whine because I didn't quote it again. Accusations..... Unreal. It must be that spirit of your speaking through your month.

Sorry to say Jerwade, but you are a very dishonest person.

Yours beliefs are not worth getting angry over(anger is not good for your health too), they are laughable at best, contradictory, full of flaws and unscriptural.

I asked the question from you, because I assumed you share their belief system (you answered on their behalf before), but now you told me to ask the followers of that belief system, which clearly indicates you do not share it.

At this point I do not know if you share that belief or not, but I guess it doesn't matter.

Read it, again. And, as I have stated "from a moral perspective I would agree with his assessment."

There's no need to personalize these threads unless one is looking for something besides the topics.

I don't care anything about individual beliefs on the Christianity forum, although it might be interesting to hear about some of them over on the R&S forum.

That's fine. There is no need for you to say what you believe, or don't believe.

I asked because I thought you had the knowledge to explain my question, but at this point it is best to move on. It feels like asking a Hindu questions about Judaism.
