I did not answer you foolish questions because they have no relevance to me.
Ironic hypocrisy. Your posts not only have no relevance to me, they have no relevance to the op and when asked about your ost you refuse to discuss it.
But then you are indirectly giving me some kind of credence.
Never happened. That's all in your imagination.
You still would do best to ignore me as you are really digger yourself deeper in a hole.
When you get elected sheriff of CF then you can tell others what would and wouldn't be best but until then you're in evidence posting baselessly, avoiding direct op-relevqnt engagement, and attacking and blaming others for your own failings.
Observations, simply observations with the Holy Spirit, I might add.
They were neither simple nor "with the Holy Spirit." Here's how every student of God's word
knows that to be the case.
Luke 6:45 tells us it is out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks and the fingers type. Your original post was a reflection of your heart. This is further implicitly understood in the opening statement of that post, "
It is how you want to look at it," and what followed was how
you looked at it.
"Defend yourself against your false fears is one thing.A show of force to try to intimidate others is even worse"
Out of the abundance of your heart came "
Defend yourself against your false fears is one thing. A show of force to try to intimidate others is even worse."
That is how you look at the op's point.
Now you've been complaining about my questions being off-topic but what I asked was about the relevance of those two sentences to the op! I asked what false fears, what show of force, what intimidation and you've refused to answer those inquiries under the auspices you don't care about my questions, don't perceive them to be relevant, and would prefer to tell me my feelings are hurt and how I should post. The only one striving here is you, Jamestone5. Go through all your posts and note all the derisive comments you've made about other posters (I was not the only one). Log, not speck.
And we
know the original post was not "
with the Holy Spirit" because the Holy Spirit never contradicts the written word but the contents of your posts do! This disobedience to God's word is shown in the violation of Pr. 3:30. Somehow some form of self-defense, false fears, show of force, and intimidation is supposedly happening
but there is no evidence any of those things was happening in Richmond yesterday. So you were given the opportunity to evidence that which came from the abundance of your heart.
You say you're not attacking anyone personally but I was told I'm not letting you freely share your feelings, my questions are foolish, my feelings are hurt, I'm trying to make it all about me. Pay attention, Jamesone5, because
that is you making it all about you. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The Bible tells us to consider others more significant than ourselves, to let nothing unwholesome come out of our fingertips but that which is edifying, to be on good terms with others as far as it is within our ability to do so, and even when in dialogue with "outsiders" to the faith we are to speak with grace. That hasn't happened in this op. No one made you post the way you posted but you. Out of the abundance of the heart..... This is how every reader of your posts know they were not posted with the Spirit.
So no evidence, a refusal to return to the op, a refusal to take responsibility for one's own posts, a propensity to attack others instead of sticking to the posts, a blatant disregard for how scripture directs us to post and how to interact with others, and much, much more.
I just happen to be the one shining the light on it.
Here's something else scripture says. You're not going to like it but I want you to consider these two passages prayerfully as they apply to the posts in this op.
Galatians 5:19-21
"Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: ....enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions .....and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."
Titus 3:9-11 ESV
"But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him, knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned."
I don't know what your motive or intent in the original post was so I asked. I did my part. I asked again and again. I and every one here now knows.
Had the very valid op-relevant questions asked been answered
OR I received something explanatory that was op-relevant we'd be having a much different conversation but that's not what happened. SO here's one more opportunity to explain your own op-reply.
Where was the show of force trying to intimidate others?
Would you be referring to the armed guards the Governor had added to protect legislators from those who'd been prevented from carrying their firearms?
Is it the Governor's false fears to which you are referring with that comment about false fears intimidation?
Was it those exercising the First amendment right of peaceful assembly address grievances against unconstitutional restrictions on the Second Amendment that will not in any way shape or form reduce the problem the legislators are purporting to solve to whom you were referring with that comment about false fears and intimidation?
Or would that be a reference to liberal "lawmakers" proposing ineffective laws who were engaged quite peacefully by the constituents they were elected to represent and serve?
Who - specifically - was saying "look at me and what my gun can do"?
Here is the opportunity to explain your own post and discuss it. Maybe this time
objectively and
with evidence, as you see it. Try doing so without attacking another poster.
