I see you got hte bible thrown at ya lol- on cue they show the verses in 2nd Timothy 3:1-9 to be true “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”

They love htrowing those verses out there- but the meaning of hte verses is about rash judging, false accusing- non of which Christians do when they spiritually discern and judge and determine as commanded by God to do

“Mat 7:1 -
Judge not, that ye be not judged - These exhortations are pointed against rash, harsh, and uncharitable judgments, the thinking evil, where no evil seems, and speaking of it accordingly.”

“Mat 7:1 - Judge not, that ye be not judged. This is not to be understood of any sort of judgment; not of judgment in the civil courts of judicature, by proper magistrates, which ought to be made and pass, according to the nature of the case; nor of judgment in the churches of Christ, where offenders are to be called to an account, examined, tried, and dealt with according to the rules of the Gospel; nor of every private judgment, which one man may make upon another, without any detriment to him; but of rash judgment, interpreting men’s words and deeds to the worst sense, and censuring them in a very severe manner; even passing sentence on them, with respect to their eternal state and condition. Good is the advice given by the famous Hillell (u), who lived a little before Christ’s time;

Mat 7:2 -
For with what judgment - He who is severe on others will naturally excite their severity against himself. The censures and calumnies which we have suffered are probably the just reward of those which we have dealt out to others.

Mat 7:3 We’re not talking about ‘specks’ here- we’re judging according to God’s word- Verse three has absolutely NOTHING to do with spiritual discernment- but alas- another favorite verse that’s thrown out by those who pretend to know God’s word but don’t

Mat 7:4 Again- this verse has nothign to do with God’s commands to spiritually discern and judge and determine who is and isn;’t of Him

You think that was ridicule? Evolutionists are the champions of ridicule and name calling.
You just can’t deal with evolution being stated as a “materialist religious assumption about the unobservable, unrepeatable past.”
Instead of debating that point, you accuse the person of ridicule.


Liberals are incapable of dealing with their own tactics, or even the perception of them.

I’ll pass on the stink bait, and I’m not helping you start a flame war.
