Right. They assumed, they "knew" he was being punished. Except they were wrong for assuming. That's why it's needless, dangerous thing to do.
Oh, really dangerous. They were wrong about Job. I'm not wrong about strippers. Hosea, Jeremiah, Isaiah and Paul were not wrong about pointing out that sinners reap what they sow. It's a Biblical principle you're trying to eradicate because of your ungodly political correctness.
Stripping is wrong and deserving of judgment and consequence, as all sin is, absent grace. I've never been less than clear on the point. Like I've noticed, you blend your complaints into one thing and that's what everyone who differs with you is and thinks.
There you go...pretending like consequences and judgment are the same thing. There are consequences in this life whether our sins are forgiven by grace or not. That is your disconnect. That is where your humanistic thinking takes over. That is your error. What you're claiming is that when our sins are forgiven we can freely go on our merry way without consequences in this LIFE. Surely, as a lawyer, you can see the fallacy in that line of "reasoning".
Sure. It's always everyone else's fault. Maybe God was punishing me for trusting you.
If you were trusting me to always agree with you, then, yes, you were wrong to trust me, and God may well be teaching you a lesson. Not that you can't "trust" but that you can't dictate what that is to mean. Telling you the truth is not a bad thing, nor does it make me untrustworthy.
I have. Let's compare. Start quoting beginning with the earliest point in our conversation. Let's see who said what and when. I'm absolutely game.
I'm quite sure you're game. You love talking. Unfortunately, I don't enjoy all this drivel. I don't really care to hear how sorry you feel for me and how disappointed you are in me. I have better things to do with my time than listen to such nonsense. I can't stand that kind of "drama". I've had my fill of drama in this life.
I wouldn't expect it now. I don't imagine I could wound you even a little. And I'm very, very sorry to say that about you.
You're sorry that you can't "wound" me? Really? Surely you jest?
Do you think I should be so invested in myself and my self image that I can be wounded when I'm not thought of highly enough? That's very odd.
No, I'm pretty sure the insults, like humanism, liar, gutless, etc. existed independent of my imagination. That you can't read into me.
I can and did read that into you. You have claimed you know what God will and will not allow ....just as humanists do. Even when Res showed you many examples that were clear as a bell that God had allowed all kinds of evil for His own purposes. And you were gutless when you left me unable to respond to your nonsense with you "closed thread". Your attempts to justify that were lame.
And if you don't want to be called a liar, then stop telling lies. You make things up and attribute them to me by twisting my words. It's very clever, but WRONG, nonetheless. If you don't want to be called a humanist, then stop talking like one. It seems pretty simple to me.
So it's like empathy, you're just misunderstood...by anyone who differs with you. lain:
If I told you that you misunderstood me, then I was giving you the benefit of the doubt. I don't think you're stupid....although "indoctrinated" might be an excuse. :think:
You're no better than her, absent grace. None of us are.
You do understand that we live in this world.....that when we do something wrong there are consequences right here in this world, don't you? Don't count on saving grace to keep you from suffering consequences tomorrow and the next day and the next. My children learned that at an early age....what in God's name were you taught? :wazzup:
I'll guarantee you one thing, I won't suffer any consequences for stripping...or for stealing....or for lying....or for speeding...or for robbing a store.
That's right, you're the victim here, more caring than anyone appearing to care for the victim of rape and blaming the violator, unlike the stripper who you're reasonably sure is just getting what she had coming...or is it a twofer, given the punishment that will follow the rapist? And your insults are virtue drippings as you attempt to lead blood spurting, humanist liberals into the shadow of your virtue. So mute it be. lain:
Golly, I think you've been taking lessons from Bybee. That's good because I've picked up a few gems from her as well.
No. I am not the victim. I've never given you a reason to make that accusation in spite of your skill at twisting facts. Therefore, you're lying again. Good job. The stripper is a victim, but not without guilt of her own. You and your fellow do gooders are not doing that stripper any good by telling her she did nothing to deserve the suffering that came upon her. You'd rather LIE and say her suffering was ALL some other guy's fault.
