As if he was the only player in the picture?

Seems like Lyft could have put him on the list of passengers to warn affiliates to pick up only at their own risk, that Lyft is not going to get involved further.

But Lyft belongs to the world and it has its own rules.

In fact the conclusion we must come to after most things like this is that we are seeing the world be the world, once more.

We can’t take it over by fiat or threats. That only lowers us. We might be able to win it by presenting it a better picture than what it has.

It will be unattractive to some, potentially attractive to others.

You are using world as an excuse to be sub-gospel.

And why would the bible command an impossibility? Riddle me that O wise one?

You like throwing false accusations around, don’t you. To be always seeking a confrontation looks like the spirit of the world to me. Have a good evening.

“We are destroying imaginations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God.”

Sounds like the spirit of God to me.

That does, but not your previous posts, which WADR are self-righteous and confrontational for what appears to me to be no reason at all. I’m not in the mood.

“Maybe the subject of Islam was only an excuse here.”

I drove a cab in college and once in a while, you get a passenger who is an ass and tries to provoke.

The best thing to do is to say nothing or expel the passager from the cab.

“derogatory comments about Muslims”

To some people it gets me work. People agree and hire me.
To some people it gets me out of work. Nasty people I don’t
want to work for anyway.

Same for derogatory comments about liberals.

Lyft will lose business over it and may gain business for it. How do I know they will lose business? I wont use them.

Your view of gospel is too low and you object to being confronted on it.

But it’s exactly the kind of thing that would have gotten a rebuke from Paul.

A society saturated with such presumptions just might be the reason why I encounter easier acceptance of gospel concepts by Hindus than by current American society. America got too self righteous to be reached in many quarters. Their churches too frequently thought they knew it all. Those who never played church did not have such presuppositions.

The wrath of God is expressed from heaven against all who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.

Well my previous posts were EXACTLY in that vein. I am sorry you don’t like it.

What would a “full garb” Muslim look like?

Since 911....it started with the president at the time. Called it a peaceful religion. Went to battle but changed the name from “Crusade” to something else because “Crusade” was offensive to muslims.

You seemed to be talking as if you need Jesus to be present in person again as “hit man” before anybody is going to care about the gospel.

Certainly your own existence is a counter argument against this, assuming you are a believer as you claim. And the Lord said the fields are white for harvest.

Those, like myself, who are jealous for the upside, i.e. heaven, will have more success in the field than those who are muttering nothing but judgments and punishments everywhere they go. The latter should not complain too much about the results of self fulfilling prophecy.

The hell fire has a time to come out, to be sure, but it’s only after the know it all Pharisees have proclaimed the kingdom of God impossible without a regime that they are imagining to establish.

Now if you call this a “false accusation” I’d like to see you behave as though it were, in fact, false. To see you repent.

And after comments like this we wonder why the world thinks the “right” to be even kookier than they did before.

You’re talking word salad now, with all due respect. I can’t understand one thing you’re talking about.

Lesson to all “infidels”: Don’t say a word. Just act. If you get my drift.
