As far as I can tell, your panties got in a bunch when I called someone else on their BS. Maybe they are a love interest of yours.
And the fact still remains, the longer (in terms of inches) the comment on these types of threads (including your last), the more likely I am to look over to see if my dog has had an accident.
a rudeboy complains about someone being rude? oh the hugh manatee.
I simply pointed-out that complaining about being called names is silly, when one is calling names.
You have stopped such. I see your point. Will do the same. Thank you.
Even I have a separate life away from FR.
Give 'im at least 24 hours to get back to us...
What are those bogoted Mormons up to now ???
getting to where I need a program to keep up with the lil dickens giongs on ...
The cited verse found not in chapter 18, but in Lev 19, verse 18.
So I was wrong, it looks like she did answer, and the answer was hidden within, interestingly in a manner similar to how your own reply contained clarity of answer, regardless of her own complaint to the contrary (among another's also need I add?).
The juxtaposition of the passages, both those you gave, and the above is interesting also, particularly in light of how Christ spoke of the above verse, adding that latter portion (the only part which could logically include us, from a Jewish perspective?) it to the 1st commandment. All of which leaves me needing withdraw my own "No response" comment.
I am still left wondering how, in regards to the type of expansionary breaking loose of the law (from applying narrowly to the children of Israel) being extended now towards those not born Jewish, this expansion of rightful application of law we see otherwise given in revelation to Peter, later written and expounded upon thoroughly by the Apostle Paul, which applications of would be needed to make Lev 19:18 in this instance apply here as she used it; not indicate that Jesus was/is Hashem?
Without the above [paragraph] we would be left with the fuller understanding & application of the Levitical law about "love" being much left to interpretation. Leaving us still with one being able to quite literally, work both ends of that law "Do not take vengeance"...and..."but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself" against the middle, restricting rightful application both required and due, to only "the children of thy people", the children of Israel.
But then He did also say as in Matthew 15:24
half the country voted for the Zero, too. I'm supposed to accept their ill-formed opinions as truth? Closer to the truth, is in America today, increasing numbers are in full rebellion against Christianity more specifically than any other religious expression. Forms of mention of principles and morals informed by such, even the mere mention of "God" as once culturally known in the [arguably] sadly distorted American "Christian" tradition, is now labeled "bigotry" for being much in anyway adhered to, or held up as standard.
What is sought today, enforced when possible, is nothing less than outright prohibition of informed consultation derived from the Word. I have heard it with my own ears. "We want to remove totally religion from government". That includes in their minds, precluding policy makers allowing themselves to be openly and admittedly informed by the sacred texts. If a viewpoint informed by Christian perspective lacks elasticity enough to conform to anti-theist views, it is sought to be fully prohibited, then further removed wherever vestiges of policies informed thusly may seen to be found. You know these things.
How can one, in good conscience, further comply with these demands? or rather, as the left-wing ponders and discusses among themselves, how may Christians be forced to comply? That's where I'm concerned we are headed. Are we to now be in retrograde progression; forced into the privacy of our own homes, much as homosexuals were once merely "tolerated"? Then later shunned more completely (as they previously were) leading eventually to a total outlawing of the "thought crime" of religious thought itself? How else could the atheists ban all religion?
Is your message for us to go underground, now? Seems like it, in more ways than one(!)
Please take care that you yourself not join in with this 'stacking of the deck' as it were. Speaking frankly to them, and witnessing truth to them as can be found in Torah, could help.
By it's nature, religious belief can be exclusionary. Declaring a "this" while pointedly excluding "that other"...is that the definition of bigotry?
It may help to define what you mean by the term. Then we may need look into how the term is currently being casually (but with deliberate aims) tossed about in the culture widely, this "wideness" you make mention of yourself in your "half the country's electorate...", etc.
How could one go about opening these same people's eyes to the fact that they themselves, in screwing up their faces in disgust at each appearance and every expression of Christian thought in America, seeking to ban it outright if they can get away with it, are displaying grotesque exercise of "bigotry" themselves, if the same standards they seeming employ, were to be applied to them neutrally?
There is a concerted effort by the atheist left-wing, to tear down Christianity, for Christianity is the greatest threat to their atheistic, outright hostile anti-theist "system".
As to definition of the word bigot, you attempted this definition as part of a polemical;
They think themselves immune from ever possibly being guilty of religious bigotry, for they claim to have no religion. So that makes it ok for them to be bigoted against Christianity, in their own eyes. If you wish to rage against blindness, please fully consider theirs.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king?
Again, if you are to argue not only am I wrong (could well be) but "have no basis in fact", please quote the precise statements which you claim are such. This scatter-shot business confuses the mind readers. but when around you, they don't need much coffee ;^)
Put down the bootle!
I find this to be rampant in many circles of Christianity today.
I find a LOT of churches that claim "Saved by Grace", and then impose so much stuff on their members as to twist it into "Kept by Works".
Please ping me if you find anyone actually doing this!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
bogoted...
Hit and run posting...
Thanksgiving, grand’s birthday..
Busy busy Nana...
Anyhoo theyz duferent and speshul...
:)
I blame Canada that Jesus guy. He's the cause of it all. Coming from the heart of the Father, as He was there from the beginning, it's obvious He was in on it all, from the start.
Alpha & Omega, (so be it truly=amen)
