If I did call you by "your" chosen adjectives well, I'd...what ARE your "chosen" adjectives??!!
Of course, I could choose my own description of who I believe you are but...hmm, what are your own ? :contemplate:

Ok Got you. You see why I read that into your comment? Should have said "It happens in every place that the flesh of men rule over the men because satan can so easily manipulate US THROUGH that flesh."

My fault for getting nitpicky about grammar.
@stunnedbygrace

Just a note concerning pronouns and the use of "he," "she," and "it," which indicates the third-person point of view. In general, we reserve the pronouns "he" and "she" for persons, and the pronoun "it" for an inanimate object -- a thing. This method works pretty well most of the time. Nonetheless, this general rule is challenging when it comes to expressing the third-person point of view concerning a person of unknown gender.

Consider the case of a couple, who are expecting the birth of a child. Before the development of certain technologies a young couple did not know the sex of the child until "it" was born. One needed to wait until the child was born in order to determine whether to paint the baby's room pink or blue. Notice that I used the neuter pronoun "it" in reference to the expected child. I did this in order to illustrate the problem, though it made me feel uncomfortable. I don't like to refer to a person as an "it", because I do not want to imply that a person is an inanimate material object as distinct from a living sentient being.

At some point in history, English speaking peoples decided to modify the grammar rule concerning the third-person pronouns to accommodate situations such as the one I described above. Rather than employing the use of the neuter term "it" when indicating the baby, we decided to press the term "he" into service to perform double duty. When speaking about a person of unknown gender, we use the pronoun "he" rather than the pronoun "it." When indicating human beings in general, we use the masculine case rather than the neuter case so as to avoid demoting human kind to the level of inanimate matter.

You asked me to be honest with you, so from what I read above in your comment, there seems to be a "bitterness" of men in general in your thinking?
Yea, I too have noticed that bitterness and hatred of men. What's most surprising is how out of place it is in the conversation. She is in total denial.
You ever read Luther's writings apart from the 95 theses? Like I said, He is no hero to me as his teaching led directly to the justification of the Holocaust
Really? Luther criticized the corruption of the RCC. Somehow this translates to directly justifying the Nazi's exterminiating Jews. What?

Repent and buy eye salve so you can see and if not, be humble and prudent enough to keep yourself safe and do not say you can see when you can’t. If you say you can see when you can’t, your sin remains. If you didn’t say you could see when you can’t you would be blameless.

God lifts up the humble. He throws down the lofty. He fills the empty and lets the full go hungry.

His antisemitism led to the justification for Hitler directly..... The church was largely silent in Germany because of the antisemitism in Lutheran Doctrine.

Technically though…Dave messed it up. Lol.
It's always the man's fault, I see how you ladies are. :contemplate:

You just repeated your claim. Where is this direct evidence coming from?
Germany was a protestant country at the time of Hitler, Evangelical/Lutheran. My Father fought on the side of the Nazi's (We were not German). I Fought antisemitism in my own family and relatives.... Much of it was justified by Lutheran doctrine.... so I have first hand experience. You want facts from Luther's writings just do a google search. Here is a link on the church and its history RE: Naziism.

Here is a link on Antisemitism in Luther:

Paul writes: as concerning the Jews they are enemies of the Gospel.... Jesus said we are to love our enemies.... That is where all Christians should stand even now regarding the Hebrew people. Not burn down their synagogues and houses as Luther stated.
