You are dealing with a poster who is what we are prevented from identifying them as, IMO, Richard.
I don’t think he is, and even if he is we should certainly not be provoking and buying into and feeding it
He has beliefs and he is entitled to both have them and express them, and others can respond or not as they please
In my opinion we do not need to react to everything, I believe we are to control ourselves and have restraint...... what we say, and how we say it reflects both on ourselves and our communities
The post of his above certainly qualifies, IMO, Meerkat. We are not supposed to become blind to evil in the name of tolerance.
Of course not
But if someone says things to get a reaction by just reacting we continue the cycle and that cycle doesn’t stop of itself, it perpetuates and gets bigger and more inflamed
I believe that there is a need to stop the cycle which is why when mike said it would be pointless to engage in conversation I said that was a wise thing, because it was a breaking the “cycle”
Jas 1:19**Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Jas 1:20**For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Jas 1:21**Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
Jas 1:22**But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Jas 1:23**For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
Jas 1:24**For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
Jas 1:25**But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Jas 1:26**If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
Jas 3:6**And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
Jas 3:7**For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
Jas 3:8**But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Jas 3:9**Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
Jas 3:10**Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
Jas 3:11**Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
Jas 3:12**Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

All those bible verse you are quoting are for YOU to live by it
not for YOU to be quoting them for others to live by it.
Jesus had a word he used to describe your kind.
Do you know what is it?

I try to live by them yes, and I also believe we are to help and share with each other - mystic and I have had many conversations and agree on a lot of things and I trust/know that he will not take what I say to him the wrong way
Instead of creating a god in your own image, perhaps, you might change your ways?

I have read everything on your homepage, where you seem to be the only poster with the exception of one poster who has called you out! Although, you have censored or removed your own nasty commits to this person. However, I did find it hilarious that the poster borrowed a previous on line user name of yours to mock you (LMAO - xtreme4jesus777). I find that you are not anything close to being anointed, rather you are a hypocrite and a liar who is almost seventy years of age; and should know better than to try and deceive others. Especially, that of deceiving your own self in the process.
So, I will use one of your own quotes: "Have you ever tried to correct someone who does not know - they do not know? Have you ever tried to correct someone who thought they knew - but what they knew was incorrect?"
Much of what you say is incorrect, wishful thinking and down-right asinine. However, I do feel sorry for you, as the other poster pointed out - you appear to be a sad and lonely person? Who doesn't love his neighbor or fellow Christians, much less-that of himself. In your own self-righteousness, you have merely come on this forum to attack others - believing you are the anointed?

Let you and I stand before the the Lord God
and He shall judge... not you...
Life for life
Soul for soul
winner takes all.
Will you honor your own words or not before the Lord God
or like all your brethren cut and run?
Do you accept the challenge
yay or nay cowpie?
If you do not answer or you do not reply with a "YES"
then all else will be taken as a "NO" you will not honor your own words
by standing with me before the living God in judgement.
I say you are lying.
Care to go heads up before the Lord God?
Yes or no?
Lol
