Any wrongdoing in the name of God was not the will of God. For example Jesus did the will of God, can you point out any wrongdoing done by Jesus?What about those who burned people at the stake? Or started religious wars? Or other atrocities too numerous to count. Sorry, but I do not find your claims credible.
So your human understanding of the will of God is imperfect, yes? Jesus not withstanding as he is God per Christian theology. The point being that many claim to represent Gods will yet we see time and time again they appear to be mere fallible mortals like the rest of usAny wrongdoing in the name of God was not the will of God. For example Jesus did the will of God, can you point out any wrongdoing done by Jesus?
Here on Christian forums Christianity is considered the only true belief and should be heavily promoted here. The only legitimate complaint regarding that is we don't do it as much as we should.Which is a particular type of theist. All of whom assure me they have the one true religion / sub sect / interpretation.
What did Jesus tell us His disciples to do regarding this matter?So your human understanding of the will of God is imperfect, yes? Jesus not withstanding as he is God per Christian theology.

It was commented on and directly quoted and as I said, there was no mea culpa when that happened. When it was pointed out that you had contradicted your earlier position, only then did you edit it. And you also edited a subsequent post - 229. It's bad form to edit a post if you aren't clear on what you changed.I misspoke in post #221 which you latched onto as a gotcha, even though I corrected it, and you're trolling me with it to the Nth degree. Complete duplicity and disingenuousness. You're assassinating your own character by carrying on with it.
I admitted that I misworded my statement after it was brought to my attention.It was commented on and directly quoted and as I said, there was no mea culpa when that happened.
Yes because the miswording was brought to my attention.When it was pointed out that you had contradicted your earlier position, only then did you edit it.
It was most likely a correction of a miswording or a misspelling.And you also edited a subsequent post - 229. It's bad form to edit a post if you aren't clear on what you changed.
That's not what I wrote originally.We also have this:
'Sure gender and sex are sperate, which is why transgender people try to change their sex'.
That's what I actually meant.Folowed by this:
'Saying gender and sex are separate when transgender people try to change their sex is contradictory '
That's incorrect. I said "Saying gender and sex are separate".So in one post you say they are sèparate.
Yes those who say gender and sex are separate is contradictory to transgender people trying to change their sex.And then in another you say that it's contradictory to say it.
I'm satisfied with: Saying gender and sex are separate when transgender people try to change their sex is contradictory.Maybe more editing is required.
Let's try this.You don't make any sense.
According to evolutionary biology men act like men and women act like women.
George O'Dowd went with the stage-name Boy (masculine) George (masculine) because he's not a man claiming to be a woman. The interesting thing with transgender men in Thailand is they don't call themselves women, they call themselves "lady-boys". Making it clear that while they like acting and looking female, they are indeed really male. They like Boy George are dealing with the reality that no matter how much they put into being feminine/female, they are in reality male.Let's try this.
John Wayne and Boy George. Both males. Both biologically the same. Both with XY chromosomes. So we can skip the evolutionary biology. They are two men. Now I'll assume that you'd know which one I was talking about if I said one was a rugged masculine type and one somewhat effeminate. And you'd appreciate the difference.
Now would you agree that the way we identify them as I suggested are with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones?
It involves changing the way you are wearing your tunic to protect your manhood. (Wouldn't want an unplanned sex change surgery now would you.)Gird one's loins means to prepare oneself for something difficult or challenging.

That's not what I wrote originally.
And you complain that I bring up all the posts in which all these occurred? You're just allowed to make errors, contradict yourself and post things that you didn't actually mean and we all let it slide?That's what I actually meant.
The only gotcha is me pointing out you contradicting yourself. How many times am I going to do that you ask? I doubt if you'll be surprised if I say it'll every time you do it.I wonder how many more times you're going to try squeezing a gotcha out of it. While complaining and scoffing about threads having too many unnecessary posts.
Maybe you should explain how it's irrelevant.All...
It's helpful to look at the obverse. That carrying out the will of God can entail no wrongdoing. Which means that if you believe you are doing His will, you can justify anything.Any wrongdoing in the name of God was not the will of God.
When it comes to gotcha folks you have to always make sure you don't make a mistake for them to pounce on and use disingenuously against you.And you complain that I bring up all the posts in which all these occurred? You're just allowed to make errors, contradict yourself and post things that you didn't actually mean and we all let it slide?

I suggest you take more care what you write.
Good tbat you admit to 6. I would have thought you'd made more errors than that.This is number 6.
Did you know I'm the one who got the owner to install the delete feature?Good tbat you admit to 6. I would have thought you'd made more errors than that.
Edit: Maybe number 7 was deleting that post after I quoted it.
More errors than tbat [sic]? Or that? Would you like me to capitalize on every error you make? Or would you object to being given your own medicine?Good tbat you admit to 6. I would have thought you'd made more errors than that.
In my theology, any omniscient, omnipotent “god” that communicates with creatures in their creation, knowing that those creatures do not have the wherewithal to comprehend said god, is abusing their power.@Pommer is a theist, I'm a Christian.
