This just seems to be criticism of him for not being a Jehovah's Witness. Surely you accept that Christians can be Christians with necessarily being Jehovah's Witnesses?
Other then him saying he is a Christian, what does he do or say or practice everyday in his life and shares that with us that makes you think he is?
Has he ever spoke good upbuilding things and promote Jesus's teachings of love?
Has he shown love and forgiveness to anyone here at RHP and want to teach just as Jesus did?
Does he practice the "fruitages of the spirit" the bible says a Christian must do from his heart to others?
My opinion and that's all it is, just my opinion, is no. I've never seen it ever from him.
But really I don't care what he does or says or throws at any of us. I don't have to defend my belief or my God and certainly not going to fall into his trap and games anymore.
If you think he is what you think he is that's fine. But you could do better.....
Originally posted by galveston75I happen to know him very well personally. So I know full well that he is a Christian. I can also see how this is demonstrated quite clearly here on this forum week in week out. I know how important his Christian faith is to him and I know it infuses his life and his marriage and the way that he interacts with people in his everyday life, including me. And I see evidence to support this here on this web site all the time. He may sometimes get what he sees as mistaken ideologues and pontificators a bit bent out of shape, but that's no reason to smear him as 'not a Christian'. If pugnacity and sharp words can somehow eliminate one's Christian identity, then very few of the vocal Christians in this 'arena of discussion and disagreement' are in the clear, including sharp-tongued and pugnacious Christian religionists such as yourself and robbie carrobie.

Originally posted by galveston75Yes. Frequently. One of his bugbears is Christians whose misanthropy-on-their-sleeves and self-regarding groupist exclusiveness strike him as doing quite the opposite of "good up-building things and promote Jesus's teachings of love".
Has he ever spoke good upbuilding things and promote Jesus's teachings of love?

Originally posted by galveston75Yes. Frequently ~ more so than you, for example. I don't know of many regular Christian posters here who have shown the same degree of humility at the appropriate times or to have apologized for intemperate words or misunderstandings as often as he has ~ again, much more often than you have, for example. Your sense of pride and self-righteousness dwarfs his.
Has he shown love and forgiveness to anyone here at RHP and want to teach just as Jesus did?
Originally posted by galveston75Yes, I'd say so. And frequently. If you have found yourself bent out of shape when interacting with him, maybe you should reflect upon yourself just a little. Wouldn't do any harm for you to do this, though I cannot remember you ever posting anything that was clearly a product of you reflecting on your own behaviour. I will make a point of congratulating you if you ever do.
Does he practice the "fruitages of the spirit" the bible says a Christian must do from his heart to others?

This is one of the most vituperative and poisonous attacks on a fellow Christian that I have ever read on this forum:
I'm not back and in fact I'm supprised I've even had time to check this site this morning. My parents are doing worse, my wife has been in the hospital with emergency surgery.
But frankly the reason I will not come back is because of you "dive dude".
Yeah before you slithered in and ruined it this forum was interesting and something I looked forward to each day. But you have taken over the spiritual forum with..yes..your Christian bashing which is as dangerous as satan himself being here as your goal is nothing more then to tear down anyone that has love for their god and all the good things he stands for no matter their opinion.
Your clearly have no love for god or your fellow man. It is clear you have a deep void full of hate and of non spirituality and as a result you are like satan in trying to bring down anyone that does. You are a miserable human being and I actually feel sorry for you.
But I make it clear you have not won anything with me leaving the spiritual forum as you are only one tiny little human being with tiny little opinions. You are nothing more then a god hater knowing his days are numbered.
But...you will soon know who Jehovah is my friend. Good luck with that....
However much he may have rubbed you up the wrong way with his words, surely it is now the case ~ when it comes to 'bashing a Christian' in harness with 'really not caring', as you claim ~ that you have trumped him hands-down with the above post?
Originally posted by FMFYou said you were a Christian at one time too. But now you say you are not a Christian. So It appears to me that you had to be lying at some time.
Yes but it's clear he is a Christian from his postings here for many years. We know he's not a Jehovah's Witness, of course, but just because he's vocal about that and because he is unimpressed by your posting style, and says so ~ how do you get from that to him 'not being a Christian'?
Originally posted by RJHindsNot so. When I was in the transition between being a Christian and not being a Christian, I was open about it and talked to many people about it in a frank and honest way. I don't see how divegeester can be described as being 'in transition' no matter how many boggle-eyed Christianity-related notions might bombard him here. And if ever he were 'in transition', I have no doubt he would be open and honest ~ and forthright ~ about it.
You said you were a Christian at one time too. But now you say you are not a Christian. So It appears to me that you had to be lying at some time.
-Removed-If you think the notion of eternal torture is unjust then, according to sonship, you must discard the Bible. As he said on another thread recently, "...if eternal punishment is unjust then we must discard the Bible". Apparently it's a take it or leave it deal-breaker for a Christian life in sonship's view. 🙂
