What is the most important human capacity?

Doesn't the Merriam Webster dictionary define "to root out" as 'to find (something or someone) after searching for a long time"? Don't you think that's what ThinkOfOne is using it to mean?

That may be what he 'thinks' he's doing, but that's not what he's actually doing. He's rooting out(removing) the truth.

He and the jark deny the clear, unequivocal and irrefutable truths of scripture on virtually every doctrine.

You know what the Bible says even though you don't believe it. They butcher the scriptures with lies.

Of course it is.

SecondSon is a prime example of an individual for whom "it is underutilzed and therefore rarely refined".Instead of rooting out truth regarding "root out", SecondSon chose to leave half of it in darkness in an attempt to deceive. It's no surprise given that Christianity is, at least in part, built on half-truths.

It is you that denies the truths of the Holy scriptures.

And you really think quoting  the Merriam Webster dictionary demonstrates this or supports you in your difference of interpretation with him?

Do you believe calling Rajk999 "jark" bolsters your own interpretation of the holy Bible?

Do you really believe you can ignore all the name calling and derisive ridiculing by that troll and call me out for labeling him a jark after he hijacked your thread bolsters your intellectual integrity?

How shallow can you be?

In the years I have been here Rajk999 has copped far more abuse than I've seen him hand out. I think my perspective goes a little deeper and relies on a longer period of observation than you. By your own definition of "troll", that's what you are. Unlike Rajk999, I don't see you as robust and principled, I just see you as an angry blowhard. Changing his name to "jark" makes you sound like a teenager.

Difficult isn't it to deal with your own irrelevance. How you see me is of no importance. Your defense though of a blatantly deluded pharisaical troll reveals much about your own character and intellectual integrity.

And judging by your penchant for redirecting and mischaracterizing meaning and intent by endlessly asking irrelevant questions designed to derail on topic discussions, it's no surprise that virtually all your posts are aimed at those who embrace The Truth, and give a pass to those you know don't. Extreme hypocrisy.

You claim to have once been a Christian believing the truths of the Bible. That means you know what the Bible teaches. Yet you ignore the liar and troll believers continuously because you lost your faith, fell from grace and rejected the one you once believed.

I'm not angry. That's just you projecting your own impotent frustration against that which you can't control, i.e. this forum.

How does it feel to preach a doctrine contrary to Jesus Christ.

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand,
Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire
which is prepared for the devil and his angels:
for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat;
I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in;
naked, and ye clothed me not;
sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
(Matthew 25:41-43 ASV)

You tell people that this is not important.
Jesus Christ said it is.NECESSARY
You are going to be cast into the eternal fire for preaching that.

It's OK if you think of me as irrelevant and of no importance but it's interesting to note the peculiarly high proportion of your posts that are addressed to me.

I don't think Rajk999 is "liar and troll" at all. I do think he is more interesting than you, though.

You certainly come across as permanently angry. Have you become "more like Jesus" in your years as a Christian, do you think?

Do you want him to stop posting or, to the same end, do you want the website to ban him?

Did he not already start a thread devoted to getting support for me to be banned?

He just seems to be a bit of a demagogue letting off steam.

No he won’t, and saying he will be is a lie by you.
