The assumption that started with "from your viewpoint".

IMJerusha said:
I'm sorry, you've stated before that you are not a Christian so I didn't think it was an assumption. As an aside, I do have to ask that if you find Christian reasoning justifiable, how is it you aren't a Christian?

You need to stop talking when it's just to be talking. You have nothing to say.....so stop talking. We see you....that's quite enough! Just leave a smiley face and move right along.

This pretty much sums it up.

I thought I was stating plenty and making sense in the process. Who governs your life, Gdaz, God or man? A point was made about "necessary evil". Do you believe there is such a thing for a Christian?

I see. So your thoughts have value and mine do not?

Didn't Yeshua come for all sinners?

Sure, but that's not what I was speaking to. I'm talking about meshak's "If you're in the mainstream of Christian thought you're wrong" approach.

It seems to me, that Meshak's point regarding necessary evil was a good one when one considers that evil is rebellion against God.

I must have missed that. I'll have to look back and find it at some point.

When your *thoughts* include making assumptions about MY values, no they do not.

I made no assumption regarding your personal values. I made no assumption at all.

I like to drop rep on people to show they are appreciated.

Yes, I left this out: Matthew 5:3-12
Sorry.

Even I as a very seasoned Christian am having trouble with your reasoning. It's all over the map.

IMJerusha said:
Sorry, it's just that Yeshua sided with the minority and Meshak's point was that the majority is not typically moral or correct, at least from a Christian perspective. And, it's only by majority immorality that we believe there is such a thing as necessary evil when, from the Christian perspective, there really is no such thing.

Sometimes meshak may come up with a gem of a post. But most of the time her statements are heresy.

From your viewpoint, Rusha, how do you find Christian reasoning justifiable?

*Sigh*. You do not KNOW my viewpoint.

It is sheer arrogance for you to presume you are able to speak for me.

Sherman · Sep 21, 2015

I tend not to lock horns with fellow Christians on theological matters that I don't deem important.

Sherman · Sep 21, 2015

The Deity of Jesus is a critical issue. Meshak denies the divinity of Jesus.

No, you didn't miss it. It's right here:

and it is her response to your statement:
"I've said it was a necessary evil, legally speaking and one I find morally objectionable."

I understand Meshak's questioning, which seemed very polite, btw. It's very hard to understand how a Christian can find same sex marriage a necessary evil legally speaking while finding it morally objectionable. Harder still to understand is the need to bash the Christian asking the perfectly legitimate question about that action, throwing her integrity into question because she asked. Scripture doesn't support dual-sided attitudes toward sin.

I don't believe so, Sister, but you know I'm always open to discussion.

Rusha, I have not spoken for you nor do I presume to do so.

It's been my observation that you side with her quite a bit and yet she's in the face of Christians over the Trinity and the Deity of Jesus. I question whether you should be siding with someone who behaves like an enemy.
