"If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet" (Proverbs 29:9).

You've raged, you've laughed. Now time for quiet. Though doubtless, having made a fool of yourself in public and not had the grace simply to admit and correct it, you'll feel compelled to one more parting slander. But then, expect quiet, even if only external to yourself.

Dan

To: BibChr
Dan:

"If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet" (Proverbs 29:9).




Dan, I'm not the "fool" and I don't laugh at you being hypocritical when it comes to abortion. I have read your sophomoric excuse for supporting Arnold for Governor in Calif. though he was pro abortion and sympathetic to homosexuals. Now this candidate makes you happy since he is pro life. I see hypocrisy going on and for someone professing to be a Bible based Christian - moniker "BibChr" I find this very disturbing. I'm also not impressed with how Arnold has handled the honmoseexual marriage situation. It's just par for the course when you endorse a nonChristian.

Dan your behavior here is precisely the behavior that discredits Christianity as well as what is written in the Bible. I can't imagine Christ painfully splitting hairs between a primary and a "real-live" election when it comes to taking a stance on abortion or homosexuality. Christ was consistent. He loved children. I remind you of verses from the Bible that show how disturbing harming a child is let alone an unborn baby:

Matt.18:6

[6] But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Mark.9:42

[42] And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

Luke.17:2

[2] It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Dan, it appears to me that regardless of the situation Christ was consistent. He didn't compromise nor did He feel pressured to advocate evil. He stood firm.

Dan it's also inwise to take a Proverb 29:9 out of context for self serving reasons.

Dan:

"If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet" (Proverbs 29:9).

Dan it is wise to follow what is written in the Bible. Perhaps I am a fool for pointing out what is written in the Bible in its proper context. Calling me a "fool" for stating what is written in the Bible just indicates more hypocrisy on your part, yet again.

Dan, here's one for you the fits the context of our discussion (you being for abortion (Arnold) and then against abortion):

Prov.16:18

[18] Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Dan, it is your pride that holds you back ... from not admitting your weakness for conforming to this world.

Dan:

"You've raged, you've laughed. Now time for quiet. Though doubtless, having made a fool of yourself in public and not had the grace simply to admit and correct it, you'll feel compelled to one more parting slander. But then, expect quiet, even if only external to yourself. "

Raged? No. Laughed? Yes, at your hypocrisy and excessive pride that holds you back ... from being a follower of Christ . I've seen this many times, not just from you but others as well.

Actually Dan Proverb 29:9 fits you ("fool") when read in its proper context:

"If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet" (Proverbs 29:9).

Dan by stating advocation for abortion when Arnold was running in California and now showing up at this post pleased that this candidate is pro life indicates foolishness on your part and you refuse to admit your hypocrisy and have no grace. Instead you lash out at me for pointing out this contradiction. You will even go to the ugly extreme of taking a Proverb out of context because of your excessive pride and ego. It is you who slanders God by using "Biblical Christian" since you obviously do NOT base your beliefs on the Bible.

I haven't "slandered" you. To slander someone is to utter something false about a person. I have not stated anything false about you. Your Clinton like essay only highlights my label for you. Thank you for providing it. Maybe you should read it over with a new pair of eyes and maybe you will see the error of your ways through hypocrisy.

I hope this verse is not the one that fits you the best:

Matt.7:6

[6] Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

In any event, knowing your personality, Dan you may have the last word since I know it is important for you to have it. I'm a disciplined person. I will not be responding back to you on this thread.
