Malignant Narcissism ? Seen plenty of videos on that. Pretty interesting too.

You are slowly but surely becoming one of this forum's 'ugly Christians', sonship, something - in all my years here - I never had you down for.

Could you please expound to us this teaching of Jesus.

Matthew 5:22 ? Something there about calling people names like Raca and Moreh.

I wouldn't want to ask any of these milktoast OSAS guys. I need a REAL keeper of Christ's commands to explain it.

I am slowly and more assuredly realizing that without Christ --- I cannot make it.

Like I've said before, if your beliefs give you comfort and purpose in your life, and if they help you to come to terms with the inevitability of death, then I say good for you.

I am very fortunate. This is true.

You are not my brother in Christ. Dont flatter yourself.
You are a dangerous false teacher, a liar and a deciever that appears to be an 'angel of light' but in reality your teachings are evil.

That's a bit heavy coming from a "works" doer 😲

I just asked you to expound Matt. 5:22.

Are you saying that it is OK for a disciples of Jesus to call others insulting names out of anger, just as long as they are not Christian bothers ?

Of course I think "brother" in that context may have mean Jewish brethren.

Expound that passage for us please, even if I am not your Christian brother.

A few weeks back you suggested that my skepticism about your beliefs - as I express it on this forum - might have caused hundreds of people here to face "torture for eternity" at the hands of your God figure. Yes, you actually said that.

So, do you also think that ~ if the demeanour of your "ministry" has alienated any curious people from wanting to subscribe to your God figure, and indeed driven them away from subscribing to the beliefs you profess ~ then maybe you too might have caused hundreds of people here to face "torture for eternity"?

I have no major regrets about meeting ANY Christians.
If I cut Christians off I cut myself off.

Now, I would like to open up a new thread on John 16 and the Trinity.
Would you be up to some questions on that ?

Not really. At least not until you answer my question to you.

You do have a long term memory. This sounds like something I said years ago and not weeks ago. I am willing to be corrected if you have the quotation.

Whether weeks or years ago - In the thousands of words we each have exchanged here I do recall something said to someone about the effecting of others beliefs or disbelief.

If you are referring to something like that I told you, it would not be applied to only you and not myself as well.

The New Testament says "Judgment BEGINS ... at the house of God." . This means to me that God begins His judging with those who are suppose to know better first. Or something like that.

I do often go to God about my words.
Do you hold a grudge because of that which I said ?

As for me, I have prayed that God would save people also from any destructive effect my words or deeds may have had.

I think my words and deeds have an effect on people's lives.
And for that reason I fear before God and sometimes ask that the precious blood of Christ would cleanse me from my failures.

It is not unusual for me to pray and ask God to protect someone from mistakes I may have made. Sometimes I recall something long forgotten. And I take it to God in prayer and ask God that such and such a person would be protected from any damage of any kind I may have caused them.

"Torture for eternity" is your supplied description.
These are the words you are attempting to insert into my mouth.
