What you should have said is: "You poor man, let me bind up your wounds, and here, I will pay for your keep at the inn ~ ..."
Instead you just want to shoot me while I glean for my starving family.
You then justify your hardheartedness toward me on the basis that "others are stealing big time".
Sounds like you missed Sunday School AND Hebrew School both.
What Muawiyah said in post #132: ""I assure you, if it ever comes to a choice between my family's life and your food, you lose!"
What Muawiyah says our response should be: ""You poor man, let me bind up your wounds, and here, I will pay for your keep at the inn ~ ..."
Typical hypocritical selfishness seen in many "christians" (lack of capitalization is purposeful.)
When you don't have principles, it is hard to maintain consistency in thought.
You SAID in so many words YOU would MUG somebody - yes, steal it rite out of their literal HANDS even if it was just a little.
Don't try tying YOUR being the *criminal* MUGGER in w/the mugging *VICTIM* in the NT story.
And I meant EVERY WORD OF IT, sir. Note it well.
What you should have said is
Who put you in charge of the "what AJC should have said" committee? What I SHOULD HAVE said to such pro-theft advocates as yourself is of a profane nature, and not conducive to the rules of this forum. So I refrain. You, on the other hand, seem to care nothing about "rules" of any sort, as your constant pimping for scummy looters hauling plasma TV's and tubs of beer off from honest businessmen & women amply demonstrates...
Instead you just want to shoot me while I glean for my starving family
That is called the "fallacy of equivocation" - and it's as silly as the day is long. You are taking words I never said, putting them in my mouth, and then twisting them to serve some dreary, scummy ideological axe you're grinding. And one notes, incidentally, that cute little euphemism "glean": what that word "glean" REALLY means is STEAL. I'm sure you're proud of your devotion to such dubious moral precepts, but most decent people are repulsed by such notions...
You then justify your hardheartedness toward me on the basis that "others are stealing big time"
Another bold, rank lie. I've "justified" nothing: I don't need to. You, on the other hand, seem to spend a good deal of time "justifying" such quaint practices as theft by force and violence. Pardon me while I snicker at such a specimen who would on the one hand claim strong armed robbery is just swell, while leaking tears over other's supposed "hardhearedness" with the other...
Sounds like you missed Sunday School AND Hebrew School both
Whatever that meaningless babble is supposed to represent, claim, or state, I don't know. Anyone have one of those special dictionaries that deciphers such loony-speak? ...(snicker)....
