I am correct about my point of view. I do not claim to correct about another person's point of view.
This is the difference. No one can force another to accept the other person's definitions. He claimed that I must conform to the definition he believes or be a troll.
He believes others must conform to definitions of terms based on his worldview.
I ...[text shortened]... y such demand will be made by God and any consequence of rejecting it will be dealt with by God.

Originally posted by @eladarSo you take it upon yourself to decide who is and who isn't a Christian? i.e. a Christian is defined by whether they agree with you or not, yes? Is this one of the basic assertions you are seeking to make on this thread.
If a person disagrees with my basic definition of good vs evil then that person is not a Christian.
Originally posted by @fmfYes, the Bible instructs us to discern who is a Christian and who is not. False teachers are to be disregarded and peopke who live sinful lifestyles and claim to be Christian are to be shunned.

But seeing as you do not claim to be a Christian this has nothing to do with us.
By the way, I do not expect nor demand that you agree with me as to who is a Christian and who is not.

If you call a Christian a troll then so be it. If a person disagrees with my badic definition of good vs evil then that person is not a Christian.
Btw, a nice way of ensuring the dominance of your circular reasoning. If a person disagrees that person is a troll. How quaint.
Troll.

Originally posted by @fmfChristians are those who agree with God. They are imperfect bodies and bound to sin so they will not meet up to your expectations nor their desires.

In the end God will let us know. Sorry that I am not God. Since none of us are we should not demand others to conform to our beliefs. The sad part is that others try to throw people into groups based on shallow and incorrect assumptions.
You will find no truth in your line of questioning here. You will only find more shallow incorrect classifications. It is the only possible result of trying to classify people. Give up your need to classify others.

It seems you feel a need - indeed, you are claiming you are instructed - to classify others in terms of "who is a Christian and who is not".
Who needs to give up their "need to classify others"? Do you, for example?
Originally posted by @fmfYou need a universal classification all need to agree upon. I have no such need.

As I said, I do not expect you to agree with me. I ask for the common courtesy of you not requiring me to agree with you.
Originally posted by @eladarCan people here assume that, seeing as you are apparently not shunning any of the self-described Christians here, that you acknowledge them as your fellow Christians?
Yes, the Bible instructs us to discern who is a Christian and who is not. False teachers are to be disregarded and peopke who live sinful lifestyles and claim to be Christian are to be shunned.

My comment was not an insult, it was based on this short exchange between us and you saying you believe what you believe even if you burn in hell forever. This is extreme ideology akin to what jihadists believe.
Now, tell me why you think I sound like a son of Satan?

Originally posted by @bigdoggproblemI asked you for an agreed upon term. Evidently your words are meaningless to me since you define your terms in a way that I disagree.
You haven't even bothered to keep disagreeing. You hid behind your false god and refused to play ball any longer.
Troll.
If my definition based on my worldview is different from yours, I am a troll.
