You come across as a very hateful person. The false statements in your posts help prove it too.

“You are not going to win me or anyone else who may be reading this thread over with the ugly attitude you display.”

I’m not trying to win you over. Simply proving your lack of knowledge is enough to show you are in error. For someone to be won over, he must have a conscience.

“Do you want to win people over?”

People who wallow in ignorance or error cannot be won over. What is necessary is to show their errors. A man who wallows in error again and again, never admitting the obvious factual errors, who is then reduced to whining that the person with the facts must be hateful, simply has no conscience.

“Or just vent your anger?”

Neither. I just post the truth. Those who hate the truth refuse to deal with it and reduce themselves to falsely accusing others of hate. It’s a problem of conscience - or lack thereof. Someone who wallows in error and is not man enough to admit it when it is objectively proven (e.g. when someone falsely says someone, anyone, “re-sacrifices” Christ - which is an impossibility as every Christian knows) simply has no conscience.

“How does that please God?”

Correcting the errors of those who either deliberately lie against the faith or faithful or who wallow in error and can’t admit it pleases God. To say otherwise would be to imply that error or lies please God. Apparently that is your view.

I have not called you any names, called you ignorant, or insulted you in any way.

You can go ahead and have the last word. I leave you with a quote I read today from Irish Calvinist, which made me think of our exchange. I don’t know that it will do any good, but maybe.

“Some of the more obvious examples of this is the ‘like to fight…or debate…guy’. He is also known as an evangelist or apologist. But actually he is a trash talking egomaniac who sits around thinking up one liners that he can use in a crowd or drop like a forearm shiver on his Twitter account. He is a grade ‘A’ Christian trash talker who is no different than Ochocinco or Terrell Owens.

My point here is that there should be no such thing as Christian smack talk. If we have something to say it is not about how great we are but how bad we are and how great Christ is. It is pretty jacked up to use Jesus’ band-with to promote your own glory. We need to be about Christ and his gospel. And when people see us they should know it. There should be no confusion on this.”

Just because someone disagrees with you does not mean they are automatically stupid. You disagree with me, but I don’t consider you stupid. To just label someone “ignorant” when they disagree with you, and use sarcastic insults against them, does not behoove you.
