"As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

Perspective is needed. When Jesus/Paul/etc. were aggressive, there was a greater purpose. They did not act in such a way for the sake of doing so but for the furtherment of the gospel. DE has explicitly stated he is here to fight/spew hatred, apparently for its own sake. There is no biblical parallel for this."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

To expand, for people who aren't idiots: KG's post is pure garbage. I don't fight "for its own sake", I fight for a higher purpose, like Jesus and the mountain of early Christians that followed Him. In fact I've explicitly made the argument elsewere on tweb in various contexts that doing anything "for its own sake" is nonsensical."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

I only care about what God thinks of me.
I might care if it inconvenienced me in some way, but CP's opinion is irrelevant, and he only drags my character into this to avoid a shellacking, as a red herring. You OTOH seem to care deeply about what some nobody on the Internet thinks about you, so you charge through your posts to find one where you're not combative so you can show this good, well meaning stranger what a good person you are because you can't stand to think that someone somewhere might think something bad of you. Which is your business of course, but I don't see why anyone would want to emulate you in this regard. I sure don't."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostYou wrote about how you find such behavior cathartic.
That is suggestive of a motivation apart from the gospel."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

Fixed. I'm pretty sure Europeans aren't as angsty as you Yanks about slavery.
(emphases mine)
If you're going to lecture someone else on proper usage of English, at the very least make sure there is no error in your own."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.
