Right on. This is a tactic used by people who have weak arguments. It's something I even see on quite a few other threads and topics on this website, and I'm dismayed by it.
Yes, I'm aware of it. Hate for others is a sign of superiority in our day, therefore, Christians continue to apply it. No one of the people who've attacked me personally (instead of at the very least attacking the people whose information I post) can actually sit down and meet me in a discussion. They can debate and argue, which I won't do (it shows such a depth of inferiority that if people who do it knew their inferiority was really what was on display, they would stop immediately); but if anyone wants to actually sit down and talk about
any issue (and that includes issues the Bible never directly addresses), then I will talk with them. If their pride doesn't surface to defend them, they will often come away amazed instead of trying to convince themselves (and me) that I'm lacking somewhere. Lol. Christians, coming from a prideful society, are prideful themselves. Rather than bowing out of a discussion, some of them will go on the attack in order to hide their own feelings of inferiority. When people can't humbly say, "I don't understand" and their questions tend instead to disdain, mockery, and sarcasm, then no one is really learning and everyone is really pushing their own viewpoint and pet doctrines.
It's like my thread on the evil effects of coffee on Christians (i.e. the way coffee tends to draw out the flesh and all its lusts when Christians gather together and drink it) and how I said to research it for oneself; if you will take a little time to go through the threads on this Bible forum, you will see in a hurry that people will attack people they don't agree with rather than discuss or just state that they disagree. In their immense pride and inferiority, they actually believe that they are superior because they hate, resent, are bitter, and are aggressive. Knowing well this very sub-human type of thinking, it is needless for me to answer such people in kind. When Christians go on the attack, they are often really defending their pride, their hurt ego, and their insecurities. Why waste time responding to such people if I have no pride, hurt ego, or insecurity to defend. Maybe one day I will write a book called '
When Christians Go On the Attack' that explains
how Christians think and
why Christians fight. (That might start nationwide church wars.)
James says Christians fight because they want something and don't have it. That's the summary of the thing: "I want to be smarter/smartest; I want to know more; I want, I want, I want." When they see someone who has what they want or don't have, they are ready to go on the attack. This is how the Christians of Jesus' day (the religious leaders) were with Him, and history always repeats itself. It's not quantum physics; it's carnal Christianity-- the religious spirit. Such people can never ask real questions, especially when they meet someone who seems to be much 'better than them'. Asking questions to these people is the same as saying, "I don't know; I'm lacking; I need help from someone who is superior to me." But God calls asking questions "humble". He knows the hearts of such people: they are self-centered, and anything they get or have or want (even Bible knowledge) is meant to use for themselves. But even when God is on to the religious and hateful and exposes their hearts, their pride and sense of entitlement do not lead them to repent even under the light of His exposure. Here is the Bible's 'disclosure' for the sum reason why Christians fight and argue and its factual statement that it is Christians whose anti-God desires within surface in outward fighting-- who live for themselves (want to glorify their skills, knowledge, desires, etc.) instead of God-- who have these problems:
"Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask, that you may spend it on your pleasures... Do you not know that friendship with the world (self-centeredness) is enmity with God? Whoever, therefore, wants to be a friend of the world (whoever wants to be like the world-- i.e. self-centered)makes himself an enemy of God... But He gives more Grace. Therefore, He says, 'God resists the proud but gives Grace to the humble'" (Jas. 4:1-6).
