Originally posted by SuzianneWhat is josephw's explanation of how it applies to divegeester? He won't say. You won't say. lemon lime won't say. Why will no one say? Is this kind of message board behaviour by a small gaggle of Christians railing in a cowardly way against another Christian really the right thing to use your Bible for?
READ THE PASSAGE. Try, just try, to glean some meaning from it.

This deflection/ad hominem of yours is in reply to nothing other than your [others] dodging "answers" quoted verbatim.
You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
As has been pointed out James was clearly speaking to fellow believers making the insinuation that its somehow not proper or moral or whatever else to confront other Christians when they espouse values that are contrary to Christian principles utterly absurd. Perhaps its once again more luke warm wateriness that has aroused your sensibilities, the kind of hypersensitivity to ones own sensibilities that GB mentioned elsewhere and which marks your entire posting history.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieYou should ask josephw. He is the poster who cited James 4:4. What does he think "friendship with the world" means? He needs to explain whether he has determined divesgeester is "an enemy of God". Or Suzianne. Or you. Or lemon lime. But most of all josephw.

Originally posted by FMFMissing the entire point of James 4:1-4:6.
We are talking about jospehw's citing of James 4:4. Do you think it is justified to use it against divegeester. Now, your personal animosity towards divegeester is not a secret, but is it an appropriate use of the Bible to try to insult a fellow Christian poster in the way that josephw did?
