Scott, i would not refer to posting scripture or my interpretation of it on the internet thumping the bible or cramming my religion down anyones throat.
Neither would I but over the years it is a name I have been called here. Kind of funny because it is something I try to avoid.
My witness is my life not what I preach on street corners. Most of the folks I would call Christians have this attitude. I would put more faith in hearing your testimony than the "preachers". So, if one posts something on the internet for anyone interested to discuss, its called preaching? I guess i now understand real BS and why army chaplains arent alllowed to say the name of Christ since ze ros elevation to the WH. So if one will be offended we best be muted. Is it still ok to say Merry Christmas. Well, with respect to the 1 A all i have to say is "Jesus". If

If Chaplains not being able to refer to Christ or Jesus is idiotic at best.Don't want to hear about Jesus? Don't listen to or talk to the Chaplain. Christmas is Christmas. Being offended doesn't change a thing. I take issue when someone who doesn't have any more clue than I do tells me my soul is damned because they read it in a book. Unless you've been there or witnessed it personally, you don't know. And using the book to prove the book is kind'a foolish in my opinion. That's all I'm saying. Cheers Sauer

Maybe we should support removal of the Soledad War Memorial cross in San Diego. And the American flag. Many are choking on those things.
Scott, Remember Him saying He will be ashamed in front of God of us ashamed of Him.
Are teachers allowed to have a bible on their desk in Ca, or just querrans?

America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

We need to pray for unbelievers to have their spiritual vision enabled for the first time. So you mean arguing with them, and throwing Scripture at them, like a flaming iron dodgeball, when they are obviously not receptive, for 40+ pages, may not have been the right approach? Or, simply assuming that they aren't believers and accusing them of being liars, nearly in league with Satan, etc.? You've argued the entire thread against the belief of the existence of the Almighty but you have no problem believing in Satin? My question deserves an answer ending with a period, not a question mark.

4, surely you can make the mental leap from the statement about not mentioning scripture if it offends some to getting rid of the word Christmas or the veterans cross which is said to be offensive to others and are under attack for the same reason.
Selective obtuse essence again?

My question deserves an answer ending with a period, not a question mark. At no point have I argued against the existence of God. The Satan reference was from the insinuations of Fireball2, not my position.

I did not say you argued against the existence of God but rather against the belief of the existence of God.
In this instance the belief held by many here on the Fire.
And the Satin thing... You never argued with anyone concerning the belief of Satin... What you posted was no quote of Fireball but apparently based on your assumption and posted as a question.
You set a very obvious and visible trap in your debate.

One more question Sean. Did you PM Scott to come here to this thread and assist you participate in this debate?
I would hope not but if you did, with friends like you, Scott needs no enemy..

If i did i will apologize and retract it and beg forgivness. Im thinking you are not being truthful in your effort to denigrate. It is written, "Do not bear false witness....".

You set a very obvious and visible trap in your debate. G, i think it is very common for christians to shrink from conflict and be very sensitive to antipathetc comments, often preferring to dodge the slap rather than turn the other cheek. The burial of most Christian soldiers, unfortunately, occured a long time ago and is a prime reason Jesus was kicked out of school and muzzies ushered in, and according to God its part of the reason we are in the shape we are in. Flame on. Imagine how much it hurt Christ to be spat on while dying for sinners.

Three posts ago your count on this one topic alone was 83.. 83 post to argue with believers, for whatever reasons but none in agreement.
Do you have issues with believers? I need to rephrase that. You obviously do have issues with believers.
Please share with us so we understand from just where you are coming. You are spinning like a top... need to slow down.
