@josephw saidIt’s not painful for me in the slightest; I’m not the one spewing all this hatred. 👍🏻
This is terrible. It must be quite painful for you. I pray the conflict you're experiencing brings you closer to Jesus.
In comparison to Jesus everyone is an ahole. It ain't about you or me or anyone else. It's all about Jesus, and the believers eventual transformation into his image from the inside out.
Welcome to the warfare.

Have you ever think about abide in Christ sans forum combat or engagement for a while?

@divegeester saidI'm not, nor have I ever spewed hatred. Not to say I don't get angry.

Who doesn't? I wish your posts weren't so virulent. At least that's how some of what you say comes across in my opinion.
I try to listen to what others say. Really listen. But I find that some lose the thread, and fail to keep the flow of thought relative to what is being discussed. The discourse becomes disjointed. It greaves me as I am whole heartedly trying to pursue truth, no matter how hard it may be to face.
I know you hate the idea of billions suffering. For you it is inconceivable for that to be the case. Me too. You also can't stand it when you hear others promulgate that theological concept. I've tried all these years to stay away from declaring exactly my position concerning "everlasting punishment" because I don't want to cause you the pain, though you have pressed me hard to do so.
Maybe you should take a break from this forum for a while. You may have noticed I posts irregularly. It's precisely because the debate becomes, in my opinion, impoverished and even meaningless at times. So then I go about my daily life for days and weeks, sometimes months, and don't even think about this place. Or it will drive me crazy. I can only take so many punches.

@josephw saidUtter poppycock!

You avoid the difficult questions of your heinous beliefs because what you believe is an indefensible amoral nonsense which is a barrier to the gospel and a sleight on the nature of Jesus Christ.
What an utter joke you are to blame your equivocation on trying to protect me from suffering.
Your comment is Forum GOLD!

@josephw saidI suggest you continue to take your breaks from this forum if you can’t roll with the “punches”, as you put it.

Alternatively, try avoiding called people “a-holes” and dishing out the variety of biblically based insults you enjoy using when your feathers are ruffled.
@divegeester saidThanks for totally misunderstanding, as well as misapplying, that reference.
I don’t see you as perusing anything other than opportunities to regurgitate old wine from old wineskins.

@suzianne saidI was replying to Josephw not you, and I understood him fine and the the wineskin reference is perfect placed for he, sonship and KellyJay.
Thanks for totally misunderstanding, as well as misapplying, that reference.
But thanks for rocking up, butting in, pouring some scorn and hopefully leaving!

@divegeester saidAnd I stand by those words.
You just said in your previous post where you jumped into the thread, probably a bit pissed, trying to mock me..
”In comparison to Jesus everyone is an ahole.”
You're projecting your own anger. Causes you to misinterpret my intent.

@divegeester saidAnd you can keep questioning the veracity of the Bible while claiming to be a Christian.

Be assured divegeester, you are ill equipped to ruffle my feathers. If you think you have you're out of touch with reality.
It's you that's ruffled and and angry, and you project your frustration and angst on others because they believe in the literal interpretation of the word of God.
You just can't stand it, as evidenced in the thread "Are You Dumb Enough" where you quote a heretic in your effort to criticize, label and infer that Bible believing Christians are dumb.
You are seething with vitriol.
