I can get this kind of silly rhetoric from several people here. I had thought you to be more real.

And you honestly see nothing more than just a simple exchange of words? Well, if you don't, then maybe it will take years more of living for you to see what happened there. BTW, Post #6 will show you a lot of his internal reaction to first, her post concerning something he is obviously...

Have you read the entire exchange, in context, so that you understand that particular post?

Oh, be sensible. It is not the precise "word" used. It is the intent. And today, when a man calls out a woman with that specific term, he intends something a lot different than what Jesus did those times he directly referred to His mother as "Woman."

I'm sorry, but you only have "full confidence" in the belief that you trust you have not misinterpreted the words you read. Just as each of us here who may all see something a little different in those very same words are confident that it was us who read those words correctly. And none of...

I'm pretty much an obnoxious SOG in either place. I try to be nice, but take no ____ for long.

And is that how Jesus told us to deal with those things?

The man says he distrusts Christianity..... and you seem to think he should lie about how he feels. Why? If he does not honestly, openly, and directly deal with how he feels, what is the point? If any of us blissfully lilts that we "just love The Lord", and never have difficulties with what...

As I said, you may not be too used to dealing honestly with your feelings, as he is doing.

As I said, none of us KNOW. I believe what I think happens, and you believe what you think happens, but neither of us really KNOWS. If we really knew, we would have no problem saying, "If I am wrong, may my Salvation be removed." But, we know we dare not.

There was a word in there that you might not have been familiar with.... "Honesty." THAT is what I said was refreshing.

No need for "Thanks." (But, you're welcome.) It's just a statement of fact, and as many here can attest, I will just as quickly call you on something that I feel may be amiss as I will compliment you when I think it is deserved. Shucks, I even give *Stranger* a "LIKE" every now and then.

No, let's have no talk of leaving. I kind of like your refreshing honesty.

Which decision?

Straightening out faulty "indoctrination" simply means (as it has to many of us) that you had to relearn some things some old men taught you incorrectly. Why is there anger toward God for that? After all, we (you and each of us) accepted that stuff without doing as the Bible says, and fully...

And now pretending not to believe has stopped all pain? Or, if you had never heard of Jesus, that past pain you refer to would never have happened? I think I must have missed the part of the Bible that tells us bad things won't come into our lives.

Although we like to pretend we know what is being spoken about in the Bible, none of us actually know what the afterlife (either WITH Jesus, or WITHOUT) will be like. It may well be that the loss of the hope of Jesus will be suffering such as we can't even imagine. I know that simply the...

Is it a "Social Butterfly" who helps others? Is that what you think Jesus was? He almost never thought of Himself.

How old do those Scientific Magazines say the world is? And what percentage of all that time is the 500 years they feel they know about? (Gets a bit different when we slow down and put things into perspective.)

And, the remaining time, with or without a wife and children who may have gone first, is as rich as we choose to make it. And it gets richer the more we focus outward instead of on ourselves.
