Please, give yourself a brake, you could easily learn to correct these issues, one of them at the press of a single keyboard key, the other by simply signing off your posts with both handles.
Thank you 1Way, despite what I continue to post, I appreciate your help but my wife and myself's computer time is sporatic and we would rather one on one with folks and not get caught up in what seems to have both, Christians and non-Christians, by the throat, computer time!
As to The two you mentioned are both meaner than God, no one can be nicer than God, they just try to be. The truth is that we should not try to be nicer than God, no one is advocating being meaner than God, so that is a mute point.
But you and so many in the Enyart ministry are trying to be just that my friend, that is my point and the point of so many others.
As to I’ve been around for some time, and yes, I think I have read some of Smuda’s posts. On the other hand, I have read perhaps hundreds of different posters, and I have read or scanned literally thousands of posts, and have posted at least several million words here at TOL since 97. I give little recognition to those who don’t demonstrate themselves as right dividers of God’s word. So far Mr. Smuda has not impressed me, and if he was one of those defending the Koran, then I am rather opposed to him.
Thanks for the history lesson Enyart-disciple.
"...if he was one of those defending the Koran, then I am rather opposed to him..."
1Way, we can never know the truth of folks over this silly medium of a computer, but Carl seems totally wedded to our Lord and Savior and would never "defend" the Koran. He would, IMO, lay out an olive branch to enable us ALL to find Christ in our lives.
Didn't you say you have been posting here since "97"?
As to Your racial prejudice is not only gross, it’s also your personal problem in life
Do we know each other 1Way? I stand by the fact that the overwhelming majority of the Enyart ministry is racially insensitive
and that is MY problem?, MY prejudice? Your whole ministry reeks of alcoholics in denial, (why am I posting here??)
God is a right winger
How hard can we laugh here my, I'm thinking, sincere friend.
Suggestion: read C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity"
And as far as being conservative goes, God is the ultimate conservative
(see above)
So being a conservative right winger is a good and Godly thing
(see above again, my goodness, can you not separate our Christian walk with our Lord and Savior with this social and political "brain rot" that your impressionistic" mind and Enyart ministry has paid dues on lock stock and barrel!!!!!!)
As to the heart of your response to me, you said. So as to question number one, you don’t know that it was an illegal or immoral execution, which would be a murder, so the answer is “no”.
and question number two, since no one knows that it was a murder, promoting such a thing is beyond question, you can’t promote what is not there, so the answer again is “no”.
OK, yeah, I guess; this is obviously some attempt to continue to "expose" the black poster as a fraud or some "ignorant" that just doesn't see the "truth"...OK, game over, "good guys" win, we should have understood your point all along.
That Bob may be viewed (mistakenly or not) as promoting an illegal and terribly immoral execution is exactly the point. My point is that unless you can clearly answer yes to both questions, then there is no valid objection to the depiction. As I have said over and over again, if you are simply worried about someone taking offense because they might mistake the image/message for something else objectionable, then you would have to throw out the Bible just for starters, all graphic depictions of the holocaust, even if the entire video condemns the holocaust, same with all depictions of racist lynchings, even if the entire video harshly condemned all such terrible murders. We couldn’t hardly watch the evening news because you’d have to delete all graphics of murders and thefts and violent crimes, and all other such things, because it perchance might cause someone somewhere to be reminded of some offensive event and cause that person to become suspicious of the intent of the depiction, even if every other shred of context is diametrically opposed to immoral activity, or was simply reporting that such an event did indeed occur.
The whole TOL website would appear to be racially insensitive to many readers, Christians, non-Christians; my own 75 year old mother who is so thirsting after our Lord's gift of Salvation that she can't leave it out of ANY conversation; she has read the Enyart-mantra and finds, not the Christian search but the TOL mindset apart from the truth (not Christian seekers, but the right wing horse poo)
WHY ARE YOU GUYS IN SUCH DENIAL?
So now the question is, since the Bible would make the picture in Bob’s video look like a girl scout meeting, do you object to promoting the bible since it might perchance remind someone of some offensive thing and thereby cause them a bad vibe and raise suspicions and objections?
Do you think that different people of different races can effectively deal with matters of right and wrong fully regardless of what color or race or ethnicity they are? If so, then stop playing the race card and simply deal with the morality involved. It’s ok to reference racial issues, but not as though highlighting a person’s race wins a point somehow. Put in another way, do you think that morality is different for different races? If so then either you are not a strong Christian, or you are a racist. According to the bible I read, all humans deserve to be treated properly utterly regardless of race and skin color.
Since you just suggested that I am a racist then (after two glasses of wine after dinner, my apologies) the whole Enyart ministry is "semi-racist" (should I pat myself on the back, I called your ministry "semi-racist"). Read my earlier posts, the TOL'ers are good at spinning the issue. You've never responded. There is no reason for us to continue; I've been wasting quality time with my divorced brother who needs my help. I hate left wing morons, but I equally hate the TOL Enyart-brainwashed morons that equate our eternity and salvation with some right wing 'white is right' mindset.
As to I don’t like stepping ahead of the conversation, nor going off on rabbit trails. I have VERY little free time, so I am selective as to what I will spend my time on.
