Fundamentalist Christianity breeds narcissism/bigotry

Truth is immutable!
Truth is authoritative!
Truth is absolute and exclusive!

Truth is not something but somebody! Jesus Christ! Jn 13:6

It's not been correcting. You've been offering a succession of weak arguments and ad hominems. (to the man - not necessarily insulting, but off topic because you start discussing me, primarily in sharing your negative opinions of me on a public forum. How does that look for a Christian, do you think?)

And at no time have I shared what I'm feeling. So anything you think about that is only what you think, and we've never even met, must less have any real knowledge of each other. You have your perceptions of me, your cognitive bias against me, and your opinions of your perceptions, turned by your cognitive bias. Or so it seems to me.

OK. Like I said, I'm not here to discuss myself with you. So enough! (I'm telling that to myself)

Much love!

I appreciate your response to praise-yeshua. I have tolerated his meanness for a while but no more. He is clearly a bully looking for a fight.

JohnPaul and others with a similar, hateful attitude...

1 Corinthians 13:1-6, "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away everything I own, and if I give over my body in order to boast, but do not have love, I receive no benefit.

Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up. It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful. It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth." NET

I'm combative? You are not paying attention.

I was a very successful IT professional for many years, which is why I was promoted to manage the division. You make an absurd claim that are just some "suit" without any technical skills yourself, which is a joke. Unlike yourself I can perform the most rudimentary operation of cut-and-paste in Windows without blaming the operating system! On top of that, you're modest! "I don't have a single person working for me that knows more than I do about anything I manage. I'm not some "suit" that doesn't actually have any practical skills." You can't even use Windows correctly!!!

Sure you were.... You're still saying "cut" when I mentioned that I'm using a Bible program. You can't "cut" a static text in such a program.....I bet you're a "developer" of some type.

"A "Director" disconnected from reality telling someone else that actually "does the work" that they need them....... How many times have I heard that before." Probably many! I'm sure it's directed at you regularly, probably behind your back!

Yep. Ego.....

I'm done arguing with you, since all you're interested in is trying vainly to discredit me, someone you have never met. You're a fraud, buddy!!!

Fraud? Good thing what you think doesn't matter.

Let me know when you decide to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Until then I will no longer respond to your vindictiveness.

P.S. Ever consider the fact that you get less than 15% "likes" of your posts?

I don't post to get "likes"...... That is your ego problem. Not mine. I simply tell the Truth. The Truth isn't popular.

I have no idea what I'm talking about, yet you can't perform a simple cut-and-paste? Try this: ctrl-x and ctrl-v It's that easy. Mr. IT Pro! I simply can't accept your claim that you've managed and supported large infrastructures for decades if you can't even do that.

From what I understand, there is an intermittant copy/paste issue with Windows 10. One of my computers runs that (I dislike that version most), and I don't have that issue myself, but others do.

That aside . . .

Self-awareness, and the ability to see one's self through other's eyes, these can be very useful!

Much love!

"Bully"???

It is simple. I have become your enemy because I told you the truth.

I don't need to know you to tell you the Truth. I simply need to know the Truth. I don't preach/teach "social truth" that varies based upon the audience.

I have never encountered the intermittent cut/copy/paste issue during the many years that I have used the Windows OS. Let's just drop this useless discussion of the problem with Windows, okay? It's just "praise_yeshua" trying to justify his computer experience, which is irrelevant.

...says the Very one who quotes Truth, FROM the KJV?:

Please "make up our minds" IF KJV Is not "God's Preserved Word"
then why would you TRUST It, And quote from It? non-conflation??

BTW: "KJVOs are today's Pharisees." I resemble that remark...

You should look up the meaning of the word "resemble"!

 

[Jim B]

I didn’t say you did, I said the liberal garbage being spewed that so many accept because it’s what is in style so people including Christians fall for this garbage and accept all its filth because it is so called loving your neighbor and enemy.

Loving people is garbage? Wow, do you have a problem!

Jesus said to love your neighbor and love your enemies.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be like your Father in heaven, since he causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Even the tax collectors do the same, don’t they? And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do? Even the Gentiles do the same, don’t they? So then, be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Matthew 5:43-48

" Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31

I haven't encountered this either, yet I believe in evenness and fairness.

No worries, this isn't a hill to die on.

1Co 13:6 Loves rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

exactly charity , love rejoices NOT in inquity but in the TRUTH .
It does not behave itself UNSEEMINGLY .
And now a word from romans one . And likewise the man leaving the natural use of the woman burned in his lust
doing that which is UNSEEMINGLY . SO my question is , WHY on earth are churches setting up rainbow flags
and calling this stuff LOVE , when its evident IT AINT . AND it aint charity .
SO even if i gave all my GOODS to the poor and my body to be burned , YET HAVE NOT CHARITY , PROFITS ME NOTHING .
THERE is gonna be a lot of folks who may have done many good works and gave much to the poor
YET THEY DIDNT have the charity OF GOD and supported that which is not of GOD , NOR IS CHARITY .
I THINK we better RETHINK things and really take a good long look at exactly WHAT KIND of LOVE they been a pumping into churches .
CAUSE if it supports sin , IT COMETH NOT OF GOD . CORRECTION , now that DOES COME of GOD .
SO perhaps those who truly DO love WOULD CORRECT seeing they desire the death of none .

I cant say i agree with agreeing with fairness . DUE TO the fact in all fairness if i had got what i deserved , Well lets just say
what i earned i would not want to bathe in at my end . cause that was and is the LAKE OF FIRE .
I say rather , REJOICE in the MERCY OF GOD who has given the lambs that which they DID NOT DESERVE , WHICH is eternal life
and took that which they did deserve , WHICH is the lake of fire , FAR AWAY FROM THEM . Just a reminder .
When i pray i dont ask GOD to give me what i deserve , JUST GIVE ME MORE OF CHRIST and HE Knows what i have need of already .
cause what i deserved , apart from CHRIST , well lets just say i hope no one ends up there .
BUT THANKS TO GOD , for the merciful Grace Given us in CHRIST , WELL its eternal life for a lamb .

Truth is not something but somebody! Jesus Christ! Jn 13:6

TRUTH IS AUTHORATIVE . Yes indeed .
Truth is IMMUTABLE
TRUTH IS ABSOLUTE and EXCLUSIVE . YES INDEED . ITS FOUND ONLY IN CHRIST
Truth is not something but SOMEONE . JESUS CHRIST , GOD , SPIRIT .
BUT and this is a needful reminder , TRUTH is not found within many churches today .
ISNT it odd that folks can say the right things at times and yet be following the wrong church .
Just something to ponder on . My advice remains . Learn THY BIBLE and LEARN that CHRIST and the doctrine of those
Apostels VERY WELL .

OUR LORD gave up His own life on a hill , long , long ago .
ITS TIME we be prepared to do the same for HIM and the sake of the glorious gospel .
If we suffer and die for HIM we will just be WITH HIM
and if we LIVE its to simply LIVE UNTO HIM .
YES INDEED . There is no fear of death for a lamb , For to be absent from the BODY means to only be present with the LORD
who has saved them . Now on that note , GEE look at the time , ITS LORD PRAISING TIME my friends .

Blah, blah, blah. "For God so loved the world..." Apparently you don't agree with God's feeling toward all people!

what is the source of truth for Christians?

 

[Jim B]

Jesus Christ. You really don't know this?

John 14:6a, "Jesus replied, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life."
