Don't bring it up I'll not repeat, if you want to talk about don't complain I respond.
You know all that because you are a Christian just as I used to be. So you know. And yet you've taken the step of using the debating tactic of branding me a liar about all those fudamental personal meaning of life things because I asked you a couple of questions you did not expect and did not like.
You do realize that your insult is much more gratuitous than sonship's suggestion that my beliefs are faeces and germs? You do realize that your insult is more gratuitous than robbie carrobie accusing me of being a paedophile? If you are a Christian whose faith permeates his life, you'll already know this.
Presumably your intent was to so poison the discourse that I would be stifled. But it hasn't worked.

claimed to be a pilot yet do not display the most common knowledge about the basics of
flying when the topics are brought up. I would have doubted your claims about being a
pilot just like I doubt your claims about to being a Christian for 30 years, your lack of the
most basics is mind blowing.
Choose what you want in life, not complaining about your life and how you live it.
I just have pause about some claims you made which I see no proof of.
I see you still want this thread to be about you.

Originally posted by @kellyjayI am not complaining about my life. What on earth are you on about? I have no need to "prove" to you that I used to be a Christian. You've said so yourself. Nor is there any reason for you to bail out of conversations about your beliefs because you don't think I was ever a Christian. It's all made you seem very furtive these last couple of weeks.

What I think you will find that when I speak about people as a whole, I make sure I always
include myself as having the same traits. I am no different than anyone else, which is why
we/I need a savior it isn't that I'm better, it is that we are all sinners and Jesus is trying to
save us. It sure isn't because my life has been perfect all along, even now ...[text shortened]... all revolves around God, not ourselves, to make it about ourselves loses the only hope we have.
Do you ever consider you may be mistaken?
That people may get to know the real message of spirituality/Christianity?
Because what you expose is the same tripe that has kept Man in the chains of ignorance for millenia

The source of my convictions is one and the same as the source of all knowledge.
I dont rely on anyone for this to be true.
The likes of Ghost can come and take me out of context all they want. It's their loss.
You need to re-educate yourself about what the Christian spirit entails, imho

He is faithful and true who has seen me through great times and horrible ones. I no longer look at finding something outside of myself to complete my life, I was lost and now I’m found as it has been said.
Originally posted by @fmfI have, of course, spoken about my past beliefs here in some detail before over the years ~ I've even started threads about it ~ but I see such questions now as being a red herring and deflection.

I am not interested in some sort of ideological pissing contest about "true" Christianity and the doctrine and dogma attendant thereto.
robbie carrobie 'deduc ...[text shortened]... t and self-contradicting things that Christians say about reality; I am open and frank about it.
Good to see that you recognize that caveats need to be added to your original statement. Not all questions are germane to a given topic.
Now if you could help DG to be able to wrap his mind around that concept, you'd be doing this forum a service. He can be a bit slow.
