Using the Bible to insult people

So you genuinely believe that Christians ~ if they don't want to seem to be "an enemy of God" to you ~ should not interact with me on this message board?

The question is, do you yourself think it is "true"?

Do you sincerely think what you are saying is "true" or are you just trying to make fun of a fellow Christian because of your personal animosity towards him.

A few days ago you had to make a public apology to me and to the General Forum for insinuating that I was a pedophile.

You suggested that you were doing it because you just like to make fun of people. Is getting Bible verses mixed up in these kind of online antics acceptable behaviour in a Christian?

If wolfgang59 is a "strange bedfellow" for a Christian on an internet forum like this, what other non-Christians who post regularly here do you think you must avoid association with? Can you list the names of posters who are 'strange bedfellows' for Christians?

I certainly haven't said anyone is a "strange bedfellow", nor would I. Jesus mixed with everybody. He did not distinguish.

Robbie takes the Watchtower line. I do not, in any way whatsoever. Nor do I concur with any others of similar belief in this matter.

So you don't concur with josephw on this matter?

Maybe so. But josephw is not a Jehovah's Witness. josephw made the 'strange bedfellows' comment - not robbie - and it was josephw who backed it up with James 4:4. We are not discussing "the Watchtower line". We are discussing your support for the line josephw has taken against divegeester.

I don't. Please don't say "we".

I am not discussing something that doesn't exist. Please don't make assumptions. I don't even know JosephW beyond that post.

I have no more to say on this matter, unless you again put words in my mouth or post something to a group of names including mine, even though I definitely do not share in the opinions and beliefs of at least some of the named individuals.

If you choose to do so tonight, well, tough. Too late.

The group of names includes all the Christians on this thread who have endorsed josephw's Bible-verse intervention in some General Forum banter where he aimed James 4:4 very sepcifically and personally at divegeester. So that's you, Startreader. It's Suzianne too. And robbie carrobie. And lemon lime. You have all participated ~ ins some way ~ in josephw's use of the Bible (or the post mortem that has been conducted on that citation) to criticize divegeester for having [non-Christian] wolfgang59 as a 'strange bedfellow'. You even said that divegeester should "thank" josephw for the intervention.

I said "We are discussing your support for the line josephw has taken against divegeester." So, "we" is you and me.

So, I will ask again: you don't concur with josephw on this 'strange bedfellow' matter, is that right?

Do you yet have the courage to speak up for your convictions? Do you agree with jospehw that I am an enemy of God, or do you not agree?

After all these exchanges and the pretty unpleasant things you've been saying to me or been agreeing with other like Lemon Lime, I'm afraid you don't get to just duck out.

You amaze me.

I have already answered this question.

For clarification...how many times do I have to say it?...I have no reason to consider you an enemy of God. Only God judges. Not me.

Happy Birthday, by the way! 🙂

Thank you also for being clear that I am not an enemy of God. It's a pity it took so long but I'm happy that you don't think what and how jospehw thinks.

Divegeester, I've already said this over and over.

I'm glad you've finally listened to what I'm saying. 🙂

I don't know what JosephW thinks. I haven't met him.

Your own faith is your own faith.

You haven't met anyone here. You haven't met me or FMF, but you have no problem making judgments on what we say; you're just hiding from what jospehw said again. It's disappointing.
