You sure are a divider, trying to use the Pope as your hand puppet, implying I owe allegience to him when he is not my lord. And your passive aggressiveness is exposed.

I did and provided the defintion to you, which you seem to ignore. Can you admit this is the definition of forgive? to cease to feel resentment against (an offender) I'm afraid you are playing all kinds of word games to support a false conclusion.

Because your criticism is against Christ and his righteous statement about forgiveness. There is no comparison in authority over me between Christ and the Pope. Christ has all authority over me. The Pope has none. So, this makes your Appeal to Authority absurd, in the extreme. And you failed...

Strawman. I did not say Justice is not a Christian virtue. I said you have an overly legalistic world view. This means one can miss the mark one of two ways; insufficient truth or insufficient grace. Appeal to Authority. Not sure why you keep mentioning Catholicism when the vast majority here...

At least you recognize this belief of yours does not quite work in some manner, shape or form. :D

Here you turn from Strawman to Poison The Well. The movie The Case for Christ addresses eye witness discrepancies in talking with a detective. The detective explains that discrepancies are expected given their POV and are usually superficial and easy to explain. In fact, the detective added...

Wrong again. <sigh> The key phrase is teach that truth which God, for the sake of our salvation. You start with a Strawman to reinforce your flawed concepts. 28 Since they had no mind to recognize God, He turned them loose to follow the unseemly designs of their depraved minds and to do things...

I have compassion for everyone. Do you?

If that is what you got from what I wrote, I miscommunicated. Guess what? Everyone’s ancestors were invaded and enslaved. Why are you coming here to slander one people over another? It’s because you are envious that America transcended the base to reach the height of human achievement. Yes...

Yup. Trollers gonna troll. Yet, I’ll take the bait. Can you name a country that has a bigger illegal immigration problem than the US? IMO, America is not merely a good country but the greatest country that ever existed. Not to say America did not do other things other countries do. It is so...

You just ignored my entire post. In my experience, atheists do this. The world view is driven by a house of concept formation cards. A definition of forgive is to cease to feel resentment against (an offender) : PARDON. With this definition in mind, please re-read my original post. Atheists...

Clearly, you have an overly legalistic world view, focused on justice and not grace. Of course, a criminal will be penalized under our criminal justice system. That does not translate to automatically forgiving the perpetrator. Replace the legalism for a moment with psychology. I too had a...

The mistake is to add or take away from the word of God. You did it again. Try answering my questions.

Odd since denigrating God's word as found in the OT is EXACTLY what you immediately do. Invention. The OT tells us God is one, who is the Most High and his (singular) name is YHWH. Not once is Jesus referred to as YHWH. Not once in the OT. Not once in the NT. Jesus NEVER claims to be YHWH. So...

You are not making a savior substitution but a God substitution. Perhaps you don’t realize it. Rather than add words in parenthesis to Scripture, why don’t you just quote Scripture exactly? Who saves you from drowning in the water from the Coast Guard, A or B (or both)? A. Ensign who pulls you...

Wow! Total despair is coming across here. You don't sound saved but lost, yourself. Don't you know that our awesome God is a God of redeeming us? Do you like your personality? Your posts read as though you are 100% extrovert, with your total sense of self coming from being validated by others...

Aside from any translation with James in the title is the worst translation available today, your mistake was not quoting v11 v v10 but in claiming Scriptures states what you put in parenthesis.

Bad translation. ESV, one of the most literal, has it; Titus 2:11 English Standard Version 11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people,

No. It really proves @RR144's point. Regarding Sodom and Gomorrah will or will NOT be resurrected; He provided dates of many flip flops in an extremely well researched post.

Ignoring the harmful data of JW policies, as you said "justification can lead us down a very dark path." You just don't see how the JW path is dark - even when it is presented to you. :joycat: Another example of such rigidness of word usage (requiring lengthy rationalizations). The point...
