So youre one of the "once saved always saved-speaking-in-tongues" denominations eh?
So, what your saying is that sin can infest any environment.
That's all you are saying.
It's obviously pre-meditate if she rented a condo...she had to plan ahead to rent it. It wasn't a "heat of the moment" kind of thing.
>Shot in the back, not even a fair fight.<
Perhaps making up for previous "unfair fights".
Wrong again.
"So, what your saying is that sin can infest any environment. That's all you are saying."
Nooooo.
I said, "She is the product of an environment that teaches people to justify their own actions as being righteous while condemning others. That is the root of it, IMO."
"It would be nice to have at least a fact or two to back up your condemnation of an entire church."
I didn't 'condemn an entire church'. If anyone did, you did.
I said, "She is the product of an environment that teaches people to justify their own actions as being righteous while condemning others. That is the root of it, IMO."
IMO, she is a product of that environment. If you think that environment is consistent for all CoC's, then you are condemning an entire church, not me.
Please try to respond rationally rather than emotionally. The emotional approach is probably how the husband-killer reacted.
So, you are okay with justifying your actions of generalizing that everyone in a group justifies their sin?
I think you might want to start saying less as God is also judging your judgemental attitude.
"I think you might want to start saying less as God is also judging your judgemental attitude."
Isn't that being just a little bit..... judgemental? ;-)
Hey smart guy, a capella singing is music.
And CoC ain't a cult, not even close.
Are you saying that you are familiar with the congregations she has attended?
Ahh, point taken. Well, it doesn't rule out having been beaten in the past, but I'll agree that it suggests she'd received no such physical abuse recently.
I didn't SAY he was molesting them. Did you see the "I"?
I was agreeing with you that in most cases a trip to the police is the answer.
If *I* CAUGHT someone molesting one of my children, I might just kill him. That WOULD be defending my child from an attack, which is covered under self-defense laws.
Please add me to your pinglist.
I don't consider it rational to make "factual" statements about a church you haven't attended.
Not judgemental, just observant. You know nothing about this woman you are judging...what she's thinking, what happened at church, her motives, etc. Your writings are evidence of your judgemental attitude. I'm just stating an observance.
OK, I will translate for for you.
All the CoC girls would go to different churches so that they could have instrumental music at their weddings.
What a testament to their religion. The most important covenant short of salvation itself was done in another church so that they could do it 'their way'.
That's the point. Justifying whatever you want to do when it contradicts 'the church'.
I believe that's essentially what Miss Husband-Killer did, isn't it?
I thought I was extremely clear that it was consistent with the congregations I did attend.
Recognized it instantly.
