“As for me, it matters very little how I might be evaluated by you or by any human authority. I don’t even trust my own judgment on this point.” 1 Corinthians 4:3 (NLT)That's a poor excuse for arrogance.
I thought you said you were a follower of Jesus?Not possible. I limit my circle to believers only.
“And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,” 2 Corinthians 6:16–17 (KJV 1900)I thought you said you were a follower of Jesus?
According to the bible, Jesus was criticized for meeting and eating with "tax collectors and sinners".
Criticized by self-righteous people. Self-righteous people like you apparently!
It is very obvious from numerous bible passages that Jesus didn't interpret the above passage as you do and shun certain people.“And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,” 2 Corinthians 6:16–17 (KJV 1900)
Your insults tell me you ran out of ideas.It is very obvious from numerous bible passages that Jesus didn't interpret the above passage as you do and shun certain people.
In fact, many bible passages show that he was enthusiastic about meeting the kind of people that you would not consider good enough to enter your circle.
You certainly seem to be a modern-day Pharisee.
Not insults, simply the truth. You said yourself that, "Truth is repugnant to many." you being one of the many in this case, and the truth is that your attitude to others is at odds with that of the very person you profess to follow!Your insults tell me you ran out of ideas.
So now all insults are truth by default?Not insults, simply the truth. You said yourself that, "Truth is repugnant to many." you being one of the many in this case, and the truth is that your attitude to others is at odds with that of the very person you profess to follow!
One man's insult is another man's criticism. You don't like being criticized, so you call it an insult. No surprise there.So now all insults are truth by default?
I would be lying to call it anything but an insult. Which means a person has no more ammo.One man's insult is another man's criticism. You don't like being criticized, so you call it an insult. No surprise there.
Anyway, this has been off-topic long enough, so to get back on track, yes, the holocaust was wrong, very wrong!

For someone who said that it matters very little to you how you are evaluated by others, you are very quick to complain about being insulted.I would be lying to call it anything but an insult. Which means a person has no more ammo.
Why would I recognize a messiah if I don't even recognize the reality of the deity that supposedly sent it?No. it's true. If you could see Christ as the Messiah you would follow him instead of opposing him. God revealed him to Peter. Maybe you will see it one day.
And by light you appear to mean absolute notions of morality, which is as ridiculous as talking about numbers existing independently of human minds, when they, like morality, requires minds to conceive of them, they aren't concrete realitiesThis is why you cannot see Christ. You have no light for contrast.
Do you even care if your reasoning is valid and sound or are you going to continue this evangelizing spiel?If you knew him you would also believe.
What answer would you like to hear?Do you even care if your reasoning is valid and sound or are you going to continue this evangelizing spiel?
People are spiritually blind who cannot discern Christ.And by light you appear to mean absolute notions of morality, which is as ridiculous as talking about numbers existing independently of human minds, when they, like morality, requires minds to conceive of them, they aren't concrete realities
God only opens the eyes of a few in contrast to the many who cannot grasp spiritual truth.Why would I recognize a messiah if I don't even recognize the reality of the deity that supposedly sent it?
Maybe you can stop being presumptuous and patronizing for a bit, but that'd be expecting pigs to fly at this point
I was sharing Paul's own words on the matter for your consideration. What ammo can withstand the truth? If you think it can, fire away.For someone who said that it matters very little to you how you are evaluated by others, you are very quick to complain about being insulted.
I have plenty more ammo, but I have no intention of wasting it on someone who is firing blanks.
