The thread isn't about discussing scripture, it's about arrogant people attacking and slandering a fellow Christian. I call them on it, if you take offence at that, oh well.

There is a big difference between slandering an individual, Christian or not, and refuting their false teachings. We are called not to do the former but we are called to do the latter. 1 John 4 1:6 is a great example of that. And many of Warren's teachings do not pass that scriptural test. There are those who are called to warn others of the poisonous fruit (even if it is mixed with good fruit). And many do so in a Christlike manner. Sadly though, many do not.

So when you judged and slandered others whom articles you did not appear to read, then I was trying to see on what basis you were doing that, and if bringing the source of all Truth - scripture into it, then I call that discussing scripture. Again, that is all. I can see that this isn't working to try to reasonably discuss with you. I could ask you to show where you think these people are arrogant but quite frankly I am afraid that you will think I am demanding an answer from you.

Right, they slandered him. Perhaps you support that slander. Perhaps not.

And many of Warren's teachings do not pass that scriptural test.

In your opinion.

And many do so in a Christlike manner. Sadly though, many do not.

Mnay of them are on this thread.

So when you judged and slandered others

I didn't slander anyone, but by claiming I did, YOU JUST DID. So much for the Christlike manner. Get a mirror.

and if bringing the source of all Truth - scripture into it, then I call that discussing scripture

The source of all truth is scripture, the difference is, YOU think you are the one that interprets what scripture means. You are not. Such an attitude is arrogant.

Now I have showed you where YOU are arrogant, you might want to address that before you start questioning me on why others are arrogant.
