but how can you not know what Quix believes?

I know through Quix's statements that he believes, as I do that Jesus Christ is Lord, God and Savior. He believes in the Trinity

But, if you go by his posts, one sometimes comes to the wrong conclusion that he believes in some things that he does not -- I won't repeat them, but I have pointed out to him before that a link he used to use last year (before your joined), gave the wrong impression of what he believed

So, bluntly, one learns each day.

How am I supposed to know if Quix believes in say baptism is for the remission of sins (not the "forgiving force" of course, as that is purely Christ's sacrifice on the cross) or in the concept of the process of sanctification? The only way is if he SHARES it, which to his credit, he has done.

My point in that post was -- if I discuss with say a Lutheran on the Eucharist, I share with him what I believe and he/she shares what they believe. For me or he to start by cursing the others or saying "you believe xxx" when xxx is not true to the other person cuts off conversation.

You want to believe in the Rapture, I personally say, fine, believe. you explain it to me WHY you believe this or any other point of doctrine and watch my posts about YOUR BELIEFS -- I will be respectful about your beliefs, even if I disagree soundly with them because slapping you ends a conversation and does not help me convey my point at all.

I double dare you to point out any place where someone shares their faith and I spit in their face as you have done here or others have done to my faith.

If you, however, repeat a lie about my beliefs that is quite a different matter from you saying "ok, I believe this, this, this and you believe something different. I think you are wrong for these reasons" -- do you see the difference in tone?

You know Cronos, that was actually coherent and not condescending in the least. Why can't you do that more often?

Seriously, for the love of Christ (literally), quit trying to paint us fundamentalists as some kind of gullible fools who never think for ourselves. It's more than a little annoying and while I can only imagine what the others think, I've just about had my fill of that attitude from others who claim to be our Brothers and Sisters and you're not without blame in that matter. I agree that Camping needs to be called out for these stunts, but Camping isn't a fundamentalist despite what he claims. We fundamentalists view Camping in the same light as we view the Westboro Baptist group, as a bunch of glory seeking idiots who have attracted a crowd of people who seem to have never opened a Bible in their life.

As for jumping to the wrong conclusions about Quix though, while he does have some weird ideas, I've never had a problem understanding where he was coming from or going with a point. I'll grant you, his posting style is a little hard to follow at times, but I've always just accepted that as a character trait and kept reading, maybe I'm just weird like that.
