Calling yourself a Christian doesn't make you one. I have no idea who either you or your husband are but I suspect that if I hate your husband there is good reason to do so. (i.e. he blasphemes or lies or both). It's not as if I go around looking for people to hate.You told my husband you hated him. No Christian talks that way to another Christian.
But, at least we know now why all the emotionalism from someone who's not been around enough to know me from Adam.
You don't know what Jesus resorted too! Do you think that every word that Jesus ever spoke is written in the gospels? He certainly did call people fools and hypocrites and He repeatedly talks about people He hates throughout the Old Testament. I have a feeling that they all wanted to kill Him so badly because He was so friendly and nice to all those around Him who thought and acted like they were religious and pious and who were actually full of blasphemy and dead men's bones. Yeah, I'm sure that's it. He was so sugary sweet to everyone around Him that they just couldn't take it any more and decided to kill Him.Jesus Christ never resorted to calling others "idiots." You should not do so, either.
Whatever!
You could ask a question. You could look on my profile page and find all my recent posts and try to figure out where I'm at and where I'm coming from. You could read more than one single post before jumping to a completely unsupported conclusion that is derived more from an emotional need to defend your husband than anything else. There are lots of things you could have done to engage me. You have to start somewhere.I have only been on this forum for a couple of hours. How could I theologically engage you yet, even if I wanted.
Then you won't have any trouble engaging me, unless you first do something ridiculous like call something you haven't even bothered to read convoluted and think that on the basis of your having said so, the argument is thereby refuted. If you pull something like that, after I take the time to respectfully engage you in an intellectually honest manner then you can expect to incur hostility from me. Otherwise, if you respond with something that resembles sound reason then I will not only be kind, I will be totally excited and delighted that I have found someone who is worth the time and effort it takes to think through and write these posts.But I do not want. OVT'ers do not listen to reason. They function by throwing their weight and calling other people "idiots." I do not care to engage hateful persons who use epithets to (supposedly) win arguments.
Very convincing!Bah . . .
If you presented decent hermeneutics then I wouldn't call you an idiot. I only call idiots, idiots.And I am not so stupid that I would waste my time letting you tell me I am an idiot, in lieu of decent hermeneutics.
Saying it doesn't make is so Nang.Just letting you know that you have gained a reputation online, and others here, suffering your verbal attacks should know, that others have learned, you are nothing but an egotistical, foul-mouthed, paper tiger, teaching a false gospel.
I pummeled your husband on the other web site (I can't remember which one at the moment - but it will come to me) and now you accidentally found me over here and assumed that because your husband got told the painful truth and that this single moron on this thread has likewise been called a moron by me that surely I must just go around everywhere calling everyone I see a moron.
Your an emotionally driven woman who needs to learn to think before she speaks.
Resting in Him,
Clete
P.S. I just realized who this Nang person is. She and her husband, who goes by the screen name "Reader" on another theology forum, were the only two people who made my ignore list over there when I went on a Calvinist hunting safari in July of '06.
The mistake that Nang here makes, which seems to be becoming more and more common these days, is that she forgets that the whole thread is still over there for everyone to read!
Since the rules here at TOL prohibit me from posting links to that site (I didn't know at the time about the history that exists between TOL and the creators of that website) I encourage anyone who might be interested to do a Google search for 'Immutability: Does anyone still believe it? Clete'. Once you find the thread you can just read my posts and get the gist of it. You'll have to read all the way to post 58 before I use the word 'stupid' though.
