I see. So, you've judged yourself and found yourself innocent of any wrongdoing...
Why am I not surprised?
Originally posted by divegeesterThat doesn't make sense... why would I ask you if you consider yourself an enemy of God if I already know you don't consider yourself an enemy of God? That's the sort of dumb-ss question I'd expect to see coming from you-know-who.
You asked me if I considered myself an enemy of God, I said no.
What are you on about now, not saying my prayers at night?
What I said was it was something you should seriously consider if you are a Christian.
Originally posted by lemon limeHe's a Christian, and you told him - in that case - he should "seriously consider" if he is "an enemy of God or not". When he said he doesn't think he's "an enemy of God", you declared that to mean that he has judged himself and "found [himself] innocent of any wrongdoing". It is surely you who is not making sense.

Originally posted by lemon limeWell he has considered it, as you suggest. How do you equate a Christian not feeling they are "an enemy of God" with them supposedly claiming they are "innocent of any wrongdoing"? I have not encountered this before. Is it based on scripture?

I'm looking forward to seeing intelligent questions coming from you when or if that ever happens... until then I'll mostly be ignoring you.

Originally posted by lemon limeThis is understandably evasive of you when you have clearly said something that you are going to be hard pressed to justify and my question is bang on target.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieWhich scripture do you imagine lemon lime has in mind when he links not being "an enemy of God" with being "innocent of any wrongdoing"? It sounds far-fetched.

Originally posted by lemon limeYou both believe that Jesus is your saviour and you probably agree on almost all of the doctrines that Christians subscribe to. What differences in terms of belief and doctrine do you have with him? Trinity? Eternal torture? Surely the differences between you do not preclude you both being Christians and recognizing each other as Christians?
