@medullah saidTo be entirely fair, the Spirituality Forum has been this way since I have joined it. Chaney3 is being unexceptional.
This is an abuse of social media.
The purpose of the forum is to discuss philosophical points of debate, not conduct a character assassination.
Jesus’s last directive is to make disciples (Matt 28:19). That kingdom interest is not served in this thread.
-Removed-😆 How much headspace of yours are you going to give me? 😆
Years on, and you are still talking about a post in which I praised Romans.
One of the reasons that I enjoyed Romans so much was that he tangled up with people whose only forum goals were to make spiritual discussion personal & who made this place ugly.
It was just a matter of enjoying the sight of people being forced to have a taste of their own medicine -- receiving a little bit of the hell that they were imposing on others.
He was a great poster -- tireless shock & awe, day after day. 😆
Of course, we are all adults here, so we can say that, but it should be noted that we ought to be more kind to each other. But hey, "welcome to the internet."
@philokalia saidGhost of a Duke was the poster Romans1009 went after the most often and always with viciousness. You seriously think Ghost of a Duke's only forum goal was to make spiritual discussion ugly?

@philokalia saidYou seriously think chaney3's drunken posting has been generally typical of Spirituality Forum contributions by other posters since you joined?

@chaney3 saidJohn 8:7
So, you were emotional at the thought of Jesus dying for you.
You said, "I believe it".
You are a Christian, supposedly.
Then......you live your life exactly how YOU see fit, and if you have flaws, you dismiss them as part of human nature.
Wrong!!!!!!
As a "new" person in Christ, you continually change your behavior to match your beliefs.
In this forum, dive ...[text shortened]... s abusive, and cold, showing no real signs of being a Christian.
It is false, and Jesus knows it.

I'd be careful here. None of us, including you, will ever be a perfect Christian; and, we ALL will have sin in us until the day we die.
Was Noah not close to God even after he got drunk and passed out naked? This was after God saved him from the flood.
King David killed and even murdered others after God made him ruler of all Israel. He got drunk, committed adultery, etc, etc, And after all this, God said David was a man after His Own Heart.
I could go on and on with almost every saint mentioned in the Bible. Again, I would be careful here. You sound like you're judging in the way that Jesus told us not to judge other followers of Him.

@caesar-salad saidWe don't know how advanced civilization was before God destroyed everyone in the flood of Noah. After that, it's clear that we did not become advanced enough to have internet until fairly recently. They are coming up with some interesting scientific finds that show that that civilization was fairly advanced. Such as, the Ark of Noah had some titanium metals used in it's construction. Check out my video in my Noah's Ark thread and watch the video.
Yeah, but they didn't have internet back then.
@ghost-of-a-duke said@chaney3 said, "Ghost, dive has already admitted he is a bad Christian. It's likely though that Jesus has rejected him, because dive is an awful person."
Reading your Bible, who do you think would carry greater favor with Jesus?
1. Someone who says they are a great Christian
2. Someone who says they are a poor Christian
3. Someone who shows intolerance of their neighbours due to the colour of their skin.
My defense of Dive to the above is in no way to be seen as an example of an actual defense of Dive, which apparently I have never tendered. Can we instead just view this and the hundreds of other examples out there as a mass hallucination, caused perhaps by an overconsumption of cheese?
So when Dive is accused of being a weak or poor Christian and I instead proffer his humility as a Christian virtue, can we just collectively agree this is not me defending Dive in any fashion, but again is attributable to an excess of gorgonzola?
@ghost-of-a-duke saidSo, you posted in this way even when divegeester was also posting?
