What's your advice to divgeester if a poster here in this community is asserting over and over and over again that divegeester is "ashamed of Jesus Christ"?

I said he was ashamed *to believe in* Jesus Christ. Big difference.

Which other posters here - who call themselves Christian - "bring reproach on the name of Christ", to your way of thinking?

Trying to pit believers against each other again? You’re such a troll.

Are there any other Christians who should be ashamed of themselves for their deplorable "unchristian-like conduct" on this forum or is it only divegeester?

Yep, there you go again.

Which other Christians apart from divegeester (or so you alleged) "bring reproach on the name of Christ" with their behaviour on this forum?

Boy, you are persistent in trying to pit believers against each other. Won’t work if I’m one of them because I have no problem with people having an opinion contrary to my own. It’s the name calling, dishonesty and hypocrisy that I object to, Kiddo.

Well, I think I display more moderation and integrity than you do in my dealings with other posters and I don't resort to any of the hyper-aggressive flame-speech that you seem to have a liking for, but as you say I am not a Christian, so it's moot.

Anyway, which other Christians apart from divegeester - to your way of thinking - "bring reproach on the name of Christ" with their behaviour on this forum?

Have you started with your twitching, heavy breathing and panting yet? You get so excited at the start of one of your question-asking marathons, particularly if you’re sliming believers.

I think you are just annoyed that you got yourself into a pinch yesterday and made yourself look silly by backing away from your big-man rhetoric with excuses about bathroom breaks and taking the rest of the day away from the site. You still won't answer the question even know, even after all your big tough talk about Jesus and the Pharisees. It's hilarious.

Your neediness is what’s hilarious. Actually, if you dialed it down a few notches, it’d be hilarious. Now it’s just sad.

@sonship, will you stand with me or with Romans1009 on this issue?

Trying to pit believers against each other like the atheists do? Your behavior is despicable.

BTW, what sets you apart from an atheist? Do you pray? Do you read the Bible? Go to church? Bible study? Missions work? Fellowship with other believers? Tithe to Christian charities?

None of the above?

Here's some plain, honest, humble English, if you ask me:

Thread 176860

Unfortunately, I realized later that dive’s proclamation leaves unaddressed if he believes Jesus Christ was God in the flesh, was crucified for the sins of the world and was Resurrected.

Because that’s really what defines a Christian, in my view and the view of numerous prominent Christians and theologians.

I have little doubt that rajk and ToO, who deny Jesus’ deity, would have a problem saying He is their lord.

As a neutral observer (ho ho ho) here is such a quote from Romans:

"I think dive is ashamed to believe Jesus was God in the flesh. I think dive is ashamed to believe Jesus was crucified for the sins of mankind.I think dive is ashamed to believe Jesus was Resurrected."


Interestingly (and I use the term very loosely) he immediately goes on to ...[text shortened]... is logic we can extrapolate Romans 'thinks' God exists, but is 'not convinced' that is the case.

That’s tortured logic even for you. I’ll address it later if I get bored enough. Not there right now.

Did we forget to tell Becker 3 weeks ago that 'all' his posts were going to be ignored?

The poor fellow seems to think not getting replies equates to him having people on the ropes. Oh dear.

So the atheists and dive all had a pow wow about how to treat people in here? Can’t think for yourselves? Are you all 10 years old?

Are you going to respond to the OP whodey?

This is a moment for integrity and principle; either you stand by me or you stand by Romans1009, there is no middle ground.

So far only one Christian has had the balls to even choose. It's hilarious, but also a bit disheartening.

It’s disheartening people think this thread and your self-centered neediness is garbage? Who think your calling for support from people you routinely smear and bash is obnoxious? Who think your trying to pit believers against each other is deplorable?

What’s “merit” got to do with it, it’s how you come across at times.

I can understand how you might see it that way. I do write out my thoughts in a forceful way. I'm passionately aggressive about my faith and about the truth of God's Word. I know it well, and when I hear people such as the troll belittle my faith and butcher the scriptures while ignoring what they say I get ramped up.

That's what a debate forum is for. A place to express ones beliefs in an environment that can get testy, but there's no room for hypocrisy and deceit. We see enough of that in real life.

Now might be a good time to apologize to you for saying I didn't think you were a Christian. I got ramped up, but I wasn't angry.

What you call "hyper-aggressive flame-speech" is merely me speaking the truth about what I think, and a clever disguise to cover your own malevolent disgusts against Christians and Christianity as a whole.

I don't have any "malevolent disgusts against Christians and Christianity as a whole". You are mistaken.

It's an exercise in principle, not a vote of confidence, liking or even respect.

Principle, honesty, integrity are whats at stake which is possibly why it has gotten a little fractious.

<<Principle, honesty, integrity are whats at stake which is possibly why it has gotten a little fractious.>>

It’s gotten fractious because the person asking for principles, honesty and integrity displays none of those qualities himself.

Maybe not in real life, but on these boards you come across as a sanctimonious know-it-all with an axe to grind against anyone that expresses faith in Jesus Christ.

You may not think so, but when you say things like "your god figure" you're being as insulting as it gets against the Christian faith. I wager you wouldn't say that to a Hindu or a Muslim to their face in real life.
