Actually, I didn't really have a whole bunch of people against me in the Bible discussion form. A lot of people actually have good discussions with me.The only person who I had an issue with was one individual and it wasn't just me having an issue with him. It was a lot of people having an issue with him so I don't know what you're talking about.
It seems you never know what people are talking about. How many times have you used that phrase in this thread alone?

Hmm, yes... I checked your post history. Your track record in Bible Discussion Forum indicates there are MANY things you "don't wanna hear." And disagreements are always someone else's fault, and you sure have had a lot of them.

So what caused you to drift over to misc. forum? Were they playing too rough for you over in BDF?
There were a few people here and there who had a disagreement with me about something, but we discussed it. And we talked and we shared our sides. And this really is what the forum's about is discussing things and learning things and sometimes we have disagreements. It turns out that most of the people who had a disagreement with me, once we discussed and I backed it up with scripture. They agreed with me. There.
Was time that I changed my position and I sided with them. There were also time that we just agreed to disagree. I really don't see how that's an issue.This is healthy to disagree and to discuss and to learn and to grow. The reason why I posted this on misalanious is because I didn't think there was any other category that would be suitable for my post. I'll tell you what. Why don't you go ahead and bring up all the posts that you think are an issue and if you can convince me that it was wrong for me to post that, I will report myself for every post. Then maybe I'll be banned.

It's true, half the time I really don't know what people are talking about.

Your post history does not show mere disagreement and discussion, nor does it show the harmony you claim at the end of those disagreements and discussions.

Your post history shows a lot of vitriol. Not as much as some over in BDF, but they have had a lot more practice.

Also take into consideration how many times you've sinned towards me? Trying to make me look like a fool and try to make me look like the bad guy. And that's okay. I accept that title and position. Doesn't deny the fact that you're bearing false witness against me, and you're not backing it up.

You were saying those things about Magenta, now you say them about me. And again, your post history confirms that you call a LOT of people liars when they disagree with you.

I'm only simply stating what the Bible says.If you have hate towards a brother you commit murder. You have hate towards me, Magenta has hate towards me.You're both murderers. There were a few times I got into an argument. I've only been to 2 forms on the site. One of the arguments we had was about grace. I had good discussions with them, and I learned and it wasn't me being mean. There were maybe 1 or 2 individuals that didn't agree with my view on grace. Quite a few people agreed with my view once I explained. There were a few who didn't, and that's okay. I didn't insult them. To be honest, it seems like you have an issue with people disagreeing with you, and you want to become combative, and you want to bare false witness. You're not even validating your claim. You have no idea what the conversations really about, you're just trying to find anything negative you can and pin it on me. I really seriously doubt you took the time look into it.

Again, you're bearing false witness.I may have disagreement and I explain myself and back it up with scripture and if they don't agree then fine.I don't beat them over the head.I don't insult them.It's a discussion.I only call one person a liar and I think most of the people on that form would agree with me, that he's confused and he spreads a lot of lies.

You JUST NOW said I am bearing false witness... You called Magenta a liar in this very thread... And then you say you have only ever called one person a liar?

Does bearing false witness mean something different than lying to you?

Actually, magenta is the one that called me a liar. I didn't call her a liar.
And yes, I did make those statements. And if I did happen to call her a liar, then I completely forgot that I called her a liar. Now, when I look into your comments, it seems like you don't want to have a debate with anyone. So I don't even know why we're here doing this right now. Unfortunately for you. That's something I enjoy doing. I like debating and discussing. If that's not your thing, then you should probably stop.

You are bearing false witness. I didn't realize that you were using the discussion I was having with you right now as an example, but obviously you are, cause you're grasping for straws.Trying everything you can to invalidate me because you're offended by me. So I would also put revenge on that list as well.

After being called a murderer, revenge is a small charge indeed.

So I don't even know why we're here doing this right now.
A good question.

I like pointing out when people contradict themselves. You have made so many statments that go directly against other statements you made, that you have contradicted yourself more than a stadium full of JFK conspiracy theorists... Or Oliver Stone in a room by himself. :p You just pop off anything you happen to think of, even if it directly contradicts what you said in that same post, or same thread, let alone anywhere else on the forum.

It's almost like I'm talking to... Uh... A famous politician renowned for contradicting himself. Better not say the name I guess. His fans are everywhere, and rabid.

But yeah, I guess I should be doing something else. I gotta get ready for w*rk here in a bit.

Also I just started a new run on Horizon: Zero Dawn, ultra hard difficulty (because sneaking games are my jam) and I'm almost out of the starting area, so I need to get a LOT more supplies for the trail. Gonna hit up the Banuk tribe for their sweet stealth suit and powershot bow as soon as I can get there and get the stuff to buy them.

Their saying by 2070 we will lose half of christian population, so maybe sooner then we think.
More people are saved today than ever. The church started with a small group huddled in an upper room behind a locked door and God sent His Spirit and 3000 were saved. From that time till now, Christ has been building His church daily, and the gates of hell have been helpless to do anything about it.
Sometimes it appears the church isn't growing or is downsizing. That's just God clearing the chaff. Don't worry. The church is universal. Just because it isn't growing where you are doesn't mean it isn't growing.

Yeah. I tried that. Multiple times. Nufan ain't buying it. He always finds a way to be gloomy.

@Nufan i just want to say something my friend.
I do understand what you say about institutions, i really do, but for me at least it has been important to let things go.
We all have faults and it's always easier to find faults but what a lot of people do is hang on to these faults which doesn't cause peace in one's spirit.
There was one period of my life at my job a decade ago, where a lot of things that people were doing were bothering me.
Their sheer incompetence, stupidity, lack of accountability, fakeness and just the sheer absurdity of turning everything upside down.

I had to let go, because none of that was bothering them, but it was bothering me.
There is a time for trying to show people their errors and there is a time to wipe the dust off your shoes and move on from people who don't want to change their ways and repent.

Live your life in peace and happiness with God and the people you care about most in your life who understand you better with whom your spirit is enriched by happiness and joy.

Again, you're not validating anything.You're saying you're just saying things.If there's a bunch of contradictions point them out so that I can do better and really.That's a matter of opinion.If you ask people , you will get a lot of people that say that the old new testament contradict each other or that jesus contradicts himself Or that Paul contradicts Jesus.Select so like I said, unless you're gonna actually point some things out and have a discussion with me about it and help me to do better than you're really just wasting my time and everyone else's.I'm open to correction.I'm open to criticism.I want to do better. But I am very strong of my views and I value truth. Really?If we're gonna talk about contradictions, you just contradicted yourself right now.You just spent the last 2 hours.Having an argument with me and debating with me and trying to point out how terrible I am when you made a statement not too long ago saying that you hate having these conversations and that sometimes you met some

Well, I suppose that's a matter of opinion, if I did make contradictions and if there are issues I need to work out, point them out so I can improve.I want to do better.I do value my view.And I do value truth, so I could be a little bit rough sometimes. I admit that. I mean people believe that the new Testament contradicts the old testament, and that paul contradicts jesus, and that jesus even contradicts himself. If I dig hard enough, I could probably find all kinds of things About U to complain about. You know I was gonna post something that you posted to validate that you're contradicting yourself about not being into debating and arguing, but I think I'm just gonna let that go, you have a good day. And thanks for the chat.

I hate having these conversations? When did I say that?

Anybody who knows me knows I LOVE tying people up in logic knots! :D

(Actually the only reason I'm still doing this is to see how far you will go. You seem like a person who MUST get the last word, so the more I talk the harder you will try. Now I have to see just have long you will keep trying to get the last word.)

(Yeah I should probably stop now.)

You know, you're absolutely, right.You're correct. Thanks for that and you know it's an issue I'm working through right now.You know , hindsight is twenty twenty , but when you're in the middle of it , sometimes you just gotta throw a fit. It won't be long and I'll be done being vocal about it. Im glad to see Lynx agrees with this as well.
