Are you unaware of the contradictory nature of your assertions in that paragraph and your replies?
“I would never pontificate about your faith.” Yet your every reply to the poster is doing just that, in a condescending manner, too.
Sorry, as a High functioning Autistic, my humor is understood by few. I apologize I honestly do not intend to be condescending, as for pontificating, (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Pontificate) I am giving references and links that support my arguments and points I do not wish to be pompous or dogmatic, but the repetitive nature of some of the attacks against Mormons get old. I do not believe I tried to tell any poster what they believe, nor have I even asked what denomination they ascribe to, merely “Christian” is all I have been told. I am not attacking the founder of any faith, nor am I belittling anyone’s faith. I have told no man whether or not he is saved.
>>Why do you feel free to do so about mine? “You attacked me by judging me (a very
>>un-Christian act) as a non-Christian.” Um, it is called spiritual discernment, not >>judging, and Christians are commanded to use it at every opportunity.
You are being disingenuous; the spirit of discernment will not tell you to belittle anyone’s faith. Speaking of talking down you seem to be saying, you are a Christian, so you get to “Discern” that I am a bad person, but I couldn’t possibly be a Christian, and or have the spirit of discernment. I call them as I see them, it was judging.
>>”Now you continue to misstate and mislead, insult and belittle.” Your reply is replete
>>with just what you’re decrying!
Where have I misstated anything? Have I lied about anyone’s beliefs? Have I judged anyone? Have I ever done less than wish anyone well with God? I think you are mistaken.
“”Are these the actions of a Christian? I am beginning to be glad that in your eyes you and I have a different God if your God teaches you to have such a mean spirited and unforgiving, stiff necked and proud approach to anyone professing belief in Jesus, then I want no part of the denomination! Is that not ‘pontificating’ about his faith?
I don’t believe so, I am legitimately complaining about my treatment here, and I am attempting to give him an out so I can disengage, because I seem to be undermatched in this debate. (My opinion) I have been trying to disengage here since no one wanted to read Hippolytus and learn what Early Christians thought. However, I will not leave unanswered questions on the table, like the ones on your post, call it a compulsion if you must.
>>Are you unaware of the contradictory nature of your assertions in that paragraph and
>>your replies?
Yes, I am trying to be honest; my replies were straight from the heart. I do not feel your judgment is accurate, you already have an agenda here as evidenced by your posts to me and therefore you are unable to be impartial in your analysis of my postings here. Therefore, I will be taking your “assessment” with a large pinch of salt.
Go with God and enjoy your Easter Sunday, I hope you have family to spend it with.
