    How to politely tell someone to stop talking about certain things so much.

    How to politely tell someone to stop talking about certain things so much. There's no "polite way" to tell someone to shut up. There are less rude ways I'm sure. But the girl's going to get offended either way and she'll probably think you are jealous of her relationship. She'll be fine in a...

    I had some negative experiences with pastors and ministers

    Based on everything you are sharing with us, it seems like this is a matter concerning theology or uncertainty in regards to your faith. Now, if you are seeking out medical advice, like should I forgo my prescriptions bc I believe in God type of thing, I can see why they wouldn't be comfortable...

    What Should I do For a Living?

    Thanks for the quote. That's really good advice! Never looked at it that way. You are right about that. God will tell me if I am doing something wrong.

    I want you to realize that all you are doing in this post is complaining that my statements seemed vague to you. They meant one thing instead of another. Yada, yada, yada. But you are readily neglecting the fact that throughout I have repeatedly clarified my position and restated it several...

    I had some negative experiences with pastors and ministers

    It sounds like he really didn't write a reply - period. He just said he did in order to make you feel bad. If he had written you a response prior to being angry with you, he could've just sent you that email and then said I will follow up with another email once I hear back from my friend. The...

    Done with this conversation. You are waxing on and on about the same stuff without really listening. If I later clarified what I truly meant by previous ambiguous statements (which I literally did several times) then that should be the end of the straw man tactics. However, you just kept...

    Again, these are my words in context. I think I am trying to get across to you the exact same concept but you aren’t listening to a word I am saying or your eyes are just bad (very bad). By no means does this one scholar’s book or opinion diminish the truthfulness and...

    I wish you would get this through your head that you are actually the ONLY one that’s been saying and doing this throughout this entire discussion. I’m the one that’s actually been countering this viewpoint throughout but you aren’t listening to me. In fact, despite my persistent opposition you...

    Didn't Christ walk as a man? What if one is atheist, agnostic or polytheist? You jumped in the middle of a conversation on personal philosophy and personal philosophy is all encompassing. It doesn't presume the whole world is Christian or people only read the KJV/NIV. You have to be more...

    Actually, it can. Absolutely EVERYTHING! in one’s personal philosophy is subject to personal interpretation. Absolutely everything - no matter the religion, the book, the doctrine, the faith, the dogma, etc. Everyone has the freedom to pick and choose exactly what they want to believe. How...

    I know Aiki is your screen name. But I thought Selah was your real name. Most ppl sign off with their real names which often vary from their screen name. And Selah’s not a bad Hebrew name either but since you brought it up that it means “stop and consider” (love that btw), I...

    Hun? What would that be exactly? The debate over the origin of the Bible is just as convoluted and extensive as the debate over the content within. ...The history of the origin of this translation was embellished with various fables at so early a period, that it has been a work of patient...

    What Should I do For a Living?

    This comeback isn't directed at anybody in particular, however, in an earnest attempt to breed civility and open-mindedness I thought I would post images from my school textbook (Encountering the Old Testament: A Christian Survey) in order to demonstrate that diverse perceptions on scripture...

    Well what I am learning in school is that it really is ok to allow people and other Christians in particular to breathe and express their thoughts, opinions and individuality on their faith no matter how diverse, controversial, unorthodox or orthodox the next person views them. There really...

    What Should I do For a Living?

    That’s not actually what that verse states verbatim. That’s simply your personal spin on that passage which is inaccurate imo and it is similar to the argument many have when it comes to John the Baptist. Even though Malachi 4:5 and Jesus Christ clearly state otherwise, many point to...

    NP Briaroes. It never hurts to try. Has anybody seen this? This video is scarier than the last one I posted on my blog. Could not be me.

    Level Where you CAST out demons

    Then come to find out I was equally confusing with that "highly trained" comment. In person, that discussion would've lasted 2 mins. tops. LOL.
