I know, you're saying I'm a hater. You've been saying it in so many words for a long time. Well, get in line. When a person is out of convincing arguments the personal attacks always come like clockwork.
BTW, what is it that I'm always right about that you find so awful? Did I say something about you or some cherished belief you have that got your ire up?
Where do I begin here my friend.
First of all, if you read my posts again I was trying to say that I like you and I put “hate“ in quotes because I don’t think you’re very extreme in your views.
Secondly these types of discussions are usually funny to me because they‘re not very fruitful. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I don’t personally Judge who’s right or who’s wrong because that‘s not up to me, that’s up to God. I like to believe that everybody is right because we can’t all be wrong. Everybody is trying in their faith and the common denominator that unifies us all is Jesus Christ. Despite these disagreements that have been going on for centuries, I think still everybody is trying and reaching out to Christ. So I don’t put a value or Right or Wrong in interpretations. I think everybody is right.
Third, many people here including myself in other threads, have provided examples from the Bible supporting one view or another, but you don’t like it. This touches upon another subject which I’ve mentioned on several topics here. How you view the Bible, as 100% word of God that fell from the sky or inspired by Holy Spirit and written by men? This has also been explained several times here by
@arthurfleminger but you don’t seem to like it either.
‘So this comes down to “I’m right and you’re wrong “ and “I’m putting my foot down because I don’t want to hear you and have a conversation with you”.
‘What options do we have here? Well we could say that if you bring a verse supporting your position then I can also provide a verse that supports my position. What does this mean? I’d like to think of this as everybody being right - as I mentioned before.
‘Or you can say that maybe we shouldn’t pick a verse out of the Bible and build a church around it but take a whole chapter as a whole or the whole book as a whole to support your views. I’ve mentioned this elsewhere too. If you take this view, I think that everybody is right still, because the unifying figure is always Jesus Christ.
So, something to think about and NO I don’t think you’re hateful

. You don’t ”hate” monks so that’s definitely not that extreme
