I don’t need to, Person who calls people names and mocks people without shame and then Dares to administer communion

I won’t tell you what that is.
I like the name Norman. I’m getting the impression you don’t like it. That makes you a Normanist.

Seriously? You’re refusing to share your never ending enlightenment? Woah!
1 Timothy 3:3 says something about an elder should not be quarrelsome, I believe

Does your colleague know how you behave here, or is this your secret place to anonymously act unfittingly

Mr Mac perhaps we all (and I include myself) indulged a little too much on the "calling out of each other, finger pointing etc. " but

seriously, you really need to consider how many bridges you have burned with people on this thread going way back.

It makes no logical sense to me that if you agreed with the OP from the start why there would have been any argument from you.

At the end of the day all I sense from you is a constant effort to find some way to disparage both the author and the content of the OP.

If you want to derive some benefit from CC take my advice ........there are people here with whom I have absolutely no desire to engage whether I agree or disagree with them on a topic.

That is the best way to go. Seriously take my advice

Everyone knows I’m not your typical chaplain. I’m more like Clint Eastwood in Pale Rider. Yeah, I’m that cool.

I have no problem with the OP or the topic. What I have a problem with is

A. The attacks on people who obey Titus 2:15

B. The constant strawman attacks

C. The constant ad hominems

D. The constant accusations, like accusing me of calling GB9 insane

E. The constant hanging up on people

Etc.

The people I have argued sharply with have been guilty of name calling, ad hominemd, and accusations that are untrue.

Certain people have called me self righteous who think that everyone who disagrees with them, even when they’re actually not disagreeing, and think it’s ok to call names and make accusations and mock people, because they’re Self appointed judges to sit in judgement on people are the self righteous ones.

I try to have civil conversations with people, but people like DC, GB9, and Lightskin butt in with ad hominems and strawmen arguments.

So I really don’t care about bridges to those kind of people. I don’t want bridges with those kinds of people. I want to expose what they’re doing so it will stop.

Being human? Yes, a human who is saved.
A human who has no sense of shame for saying terrible things about people. I am human too. And I say and do things I shouldn’t, but I feel remorse and have even apologized to you when you were the one who made all the personal insults before. You didn’t accept my apology.

You say ridiculous things about a person being sexually frustrated. Tell them to see a psychiatrist. Call them Norman. And then you go administer communion.

Luke ->The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name."

LOOK AT THIS DISCREPANCY:


Luke 10:17 (CSBBible)
17 The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name."

Luke 10:17 (ESV)
17 The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”

Luke 10:17 (NIV)
17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name."
[.I used to have a Thompson Chain NIV for YEARS, till my eyesight got poorer.]

Luke 10:17 (NCV)
17 When the seventy-two came back, they were very happy and said, “Lord, even the demons obeyed us when we used your name!“

Luke 10:17 (NJB)
17 The seventy-two came back rejoicing. ‘Lord,' they said, ‘even the devils submit to us when we use your name.'


The rest of the Versions say: seventy.

I’m sorry. No, really, I’m truly sorry.

About that accusation you made against me, @Dc...

Do you want more, Under grace. If you do, I can provide ma’am Tommorow. I can throw in GB9’s INSANE strawmen too. He’s a riot.
You just violated the warning @Oncefallen gave and called a man insane......

A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent.[1] One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man".
