I propose that the person in this example should be avoided, and to support that action I refer to how worldly their behavior is.

And by continuing to associate with this person you risk being manipulated, and also run the risk of being sued yourself should you say the wrong thing. Not to mention how utterly worldly it is to sue someone over trivial stuff in order to hurt them.

1. So you would go on associating with them? 2. If it is a mundane mental illness I can agree with that approach.

Jesus was first offered to the Jews then when he was rejected by them the offer was extended to include the Gentiles. Romans 11:11 Also the parable of the great banquet in luke 14 should give insight into this.

1. anyone who acts like this regardless of their known illnesses should be ostracized. 2. I would limit my family's exposure but be understanding of this person myself.

It's only stealing if there was no transference of ownership or responsibility IMO. If someone disposes of property that they have been made responsible for that is still wrong, but not stealing unless they profit IMO.

I'm sure everyone has needed to deal with someone suffering from what is classified as a mental illness these days. I am curious what everyone thinks. Do you consider some actions acceptable when someone is known to have a mental disorder? To what disorders would you extend that courtesy...

I would seek clarification as to what they mean. limitless is such a broad topic, addressing it in an unorganized way will likely be un-fruitful.

On the contrary, these people lie so consistently that anything they say should be doubted. If I ever agree with our president on something I worry that I'm in error.

Look at the depiction of the wheat and tares. Some of the properties of these plants are quite interesting. Many parables hold deeper meaning that has been lost because common knowledge has changed.

It was a trolling topic, nothing to be concerned about.

But when you ask yourself, "does this fully mesh with my understanding of OSAS," isn't that a presupposition? Presuppositions such as these are what lead many prophets into error. So are you immune to error in understanding the gentile lead of the Holy Spirit, when the prophets of old were not...

For some reason lamb isn't very popular in the states.

Amen to that.

When you let your presuppositions affect your understanding of the bible your doing it wrong.

Moved topic to politics forum.

Discern the will of God from the scriptures. Use scripture to prove your arguments for said will. Explain how X is opposed to said will. Of course if they care nothing about God or his Will, then any argument is pointless.

So you relegate James into the same category as the law and the prophets. You should look at more than a few scriptures to draw such a conclusion. The phrase "in Christ" is used in James. Those who are in Christ share in his righteousness. Such righteousness comes by faith. These paradox in...

You claimed James was written under the old covenant. Why write an inspired work for an obsolete covenant? Read Hebrews 8.

Why then do the JWs obfuscate their beliefs where they deviate from traditional Christianity? If they have the truth and everyone else is wrong shouldn't they proclaim it from the rooftops?
