Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
Denial is a useful tool for those who do not want to face up to their own actions/statements.
The proof is in black and white (unless of course you have edited it out, which I would not put past you.)
Call an admin in. They can verify what was and wasn't edited and by whom.
A few pages late, but my point was its Christmas.What is this for, Max?
Maybe if you read the quote you would understand why it is impossible as I was referring to the point that there is no such thing as a 100% accurately translated text, but I am getting the idea you are very closed minded and really do not care.You can just stop there. No need to go beyond "that is not possible". I can debate with a sane man, but I can't debate with a man's ego.
I do not dance.A few pages late, but my point was its Christmas.
Lets just dance.
BTW, what a wonderful conversation that has devolved into absolute nothing.

Well then I guess none of us can keep up except you.....which means the rest of us are on the same page, and you're off on some other tangent.It's not my fault you have trouble keeping up with the conversation.
Whatever. The record is there.

This is what happens when instead of just discussing things rationally, logically and honestly, and staying focused on the topic at hand, you go into all this mind reading, second-guessing, assigning dark and sinister motives, slinging insults and making things personal.
In the future, I can guarantee that if you just discuss the topic at hand in a rational, logical and honest fashion, and forget about the personalities involved, all of us would have a much better time keeping up, and generally having a better discussion.
So, what do you say? Are you on board with that?
I find it's not an agreeable placeEdit: Now I know why several people said to stay out of this area of the forums. That it is "their" domain.

Topics change all the time around here, and I'll be the first to admit my own culpability in that. I said "topic at hand". My issue with you isn't the changing of topics, it is the issue of making things personal, hurling insults, mind reading, assigning evil motivations, and generally focusing on personal attacks rather than the topic at hand.I've stayed focused on the topic at hand. Each time someone has changed the topic I've stayed focused on what it has been changed to. There's been 6 or 7 different topics (probably more) discussed in this thread. And you have been a party to many of them yourself.

Are you on board with that, yes or no?
That's your own imagination hard at work, not my intentions.Your remarks across several exchanges make it very clear that you are intent on herding people into saying what you want to hear. Until you hear what you want to hear you don't seem ready to give up.
So, yours is the church which has the true understanding of the Bible and what it teaches. All the others are adhering to false teachings. That's got to be very comforting for you. What church is that?The Bible speaks of this as well -
But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping. - 2 Peter 2:1-3
This post keeps getting ignored, so I'll post it again -

I find it's not an agreeable placeP) but it is generally less hostile then other parts of the board, actually.
Also, this is actually the only "safe haven" so to speak for people who disagree with Christianity in general.
I'm glad you're on board with that. For me, it's out of basic decency, respect and civility.Out of deference to Christ I will agree to your request.
No one is asking you to compromise your beliefs. I wouldn't respect someone who did. But don't take it as a grievous offense or come unglued when people call your beliefs into question and critique them. That's all part of honest discussion. Nothing is off the table. Nothing is too sacred to be analyzed and scrutinized.I will NOT compromise what the Bible says for what people want to hear. For example I won't say that homosexual acts are condoned in the scripture.
That's a bit unreasonable. How about you handle it yourself, and just PM the offender.2) I'm going to PM you each time someone launches a personal attack on myself so you can deal with it rather than me returning fire.
Honestly it doesn't bother me. I've had several years of experience in political forums so this is pretty easy to bear. I just notice how um... animated this area gets compared to "Christian Advice" or "Non-Denominational"
