You have intentionally corrupted my words. Here's what I wrote, verbatim (Post 255):

"Why do you take what others write, filter it through your beliefs, and churn it out looking completely different? I don't ask because I'm trying to attack you; rather, I'm trying to help you."

Here's what you claim that I wrote, again quoted verbatim (Post 259):



You took one part of my post and put it together with a different part, making it look like I wrote something that I didn't actually write. That's fraudulent and dishonest.


But you aren't.

Perhaps you consider it inconsequential to misrepresent the words of others. I consider it lying. I see no reason to believe anything you say about Scripture when you don't even treat my words with integrity.
So it is OK for you to call me a liar, a fraud and dishonest. Accuse me of all sorts of horrid things, but if I quote you it brings more of your finger pointing at me as a corrupter. Even to copy your words that I feel sure is teaching people wrong things about God.

I think you want to say that we must only act with God, and keep our own self out of it because humans have sin in them, but your words say that humans cannot act. If you would put yourself in the Lord's hands instead of using personal slander we could be used by the lord. Slander is not at all Godly, you make the Lord telling us not to say "you fool" to others a pale statement.

I have said that you are wrong, and scripture backs me up on that. I have never slandered you. This makes our arguments over scripture interpretation a slug it out personal fight, and personal fights have no place in a Christian discussion.
Telling me I am wrong in my understanding of your words would have a correct place. Neither you or I have a right to say something scripture does not say. I feel you are doing this, and I say so but certainly, absolutely, not that you are a fraud or dishonest for stating what you believe God tells you. Or even if you would quote my words that you disagree with, as I have quoted your words I think are wrong.

What is wrong is you cutting and pasting my words, making it appear that I wrote things in an order other than how I actually wrote them.
That you dodge the clear accusation and accuse me in return only confirms my assessment.

I stand on what I write, not on what I didn’t. I clearly explained what you did. Slander, in contrast, is saying something about you that isn’t true. I haven’t.

When you are ready to own your wrongdoing, say so.

You intentionally mixed up my words. You haven’t admitted it. I won’t waste my time discussing Scripture with one who refuses to own their wrong.
