What you need to understand about Finn, wallflash, is that if you do not perfectly quote his exact words, you are spinning and twisting them. He allows no inferences and refuses to acknowledge any implications of his words. He is truly very literal.
Actually the words I quoted from Finn in 127 was a copy and paste , so they ARE exact . I guess Finns stance is that , in a discussion about sin and condemning non Christians , when he said he would continue to talk about "my views" and people could " cry about being condemned ", it really wasn't about the actual topic of discussion, namely sin and judgementalism .
I understand Finn is world famous for this sort of denial and avoidance behavior .

Would you like to quote the entire post of mine, and then we can compare it to your version of it
Yes, I will continue to speak about what the Bible says, and if you feel it condemns you, then you should think about why that is the case. I know its nice to have a finger to point at, but you are barking at the wrong tree.

You keep on as if you think I feel you are judging me . Why is that ? Can you not have a discussion solely on the facts ? I care nothing about your opinion of me , and I lead a boring , married life at 50+ to my original wife of 30+ yrs, so needing to feel OK about sinning isn't on the radar .
If you wish to explain how what you said really isn't what you meant, have at it . Others here, many in fact, have noted your typical slippery avoidance behavior, so I'm not concerned about your claims .

Not at all . I invited you to quote it and explain it if you wish . Why do you want me to do your work for you ? Can you not quote it here and explain it ?
In short , I am not worried about your opinion. Your reputation is well known . But knock yourself out and I will respond as needed .
Heck , on second thought I have nothing better to do for the 2 minutes it took me to do this. Knock yourself out explaining how this isn't you talking about how you will keep talking about sinful behavior and how you will choose to keep doing it and others can cry if they don't like it .

Finn :
If you want to I've by that rule, you need to quit talking.
Think, don't talk.
Me, in the meanwhile, will talk about my views, and you can cry about being condemned by it all you want, but I know I am not condemning anyone.
I know you want people to shut up about the Bible, but in reality there is nothing you can do about it, so take your own advice, and just think about your own views, and don't talk about them.

I can't quote something I never said. You made it up. You lied, so of course you won't quote it.
Enjoy your game of spin & twist. Unfortunately you'll have to continue with someone else.

See ya, and happy thoughts.
LOL You did it again. I asked you to quote me saying the words you inserted in my mouth, and instead of doing that, you quote me saying something else.
You can't make it up folks
Yes, I will continue to speak about my views, as do pretty much everyone here. You are one of the few who come here to lie about the views of others. You lied about what I said and now you are doing a never ending chicken dance to deflect from it.

Not at all . The quote clearly shows that you said you would continue to do what Mystic and the thread topic suggested you don't do, namely talk about the sins of others, and that if they didn't like it they could go cry about it . And that's exactly what I pointed out you saying .
Your denial doesn't concern me . It , in fact, follows exactly as Mystic predicted , so you in fact confirmed Mystics analysis of your behavior . As I said , your reputation is so well known that people can predict how you will act before you do so. I'm not worried that anyone looking at it without bias takes Slippery Finns excuse seriously . While I respect Mystics views , Mystic and I are not exactly buds that he backs me up from friendship .
