I mean his salvation. He was responding to his response mischaracterizing what I wrote. If you are going to comment on what the Bible says you should actually understand the context of the statement. In this case eating meat used to be considered worshipping false gods.

Why are you explaining the Bible to him if you are not interested in what he believes about it?

Nonsense. A passage about Christians squabbling about what to eat and what not to eat cannot be also about the billions and billions of non-Christians who constitute what you refer to as "anyone".

You miss the greater truth. But hey I am not surprised, why should you be expected to see it?
Originally posted by @fmf Why do [what you claim to be] "misrepresentations" matter to you when you are also claiming what he believes doesn't matter to you?
Originally posted by @eladar Because he was misrepresenting my response to you.
I will correct misrepresentations, just as I respind to your questions from time to time.
Demonstrating your pride and vanity in your interactions with non-believers seems to supercede any onus you might have felt to spread the word of Christ. And rather laughably, you cite Romans 14 to justify this. I wonder if this is "Jesus flowing out of you" in the way sonship duckpeaks about.
Originally posted by @fmf Preposterous extrapolations like that mean that anyone can claim that anything anywhere in the Bible means whatever they want it to mean.
What you state is true without me saying a thing. People do it all the time. Every liberal does this. Seeing as you are spiritually blind you are unable to discern truth from lie. You are one that calls good evil.

Right now, I know there is no god that is all of these things: omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, and morally perfect.
Any other types of gods, I am agnostic about. This means I do not rule out their existence, but I do not think there is enough evidence to warrant belief.

Do you believe you have the authority to define what is moral and what is not moral?
Originally posted by @eladar Do you believe you have the authority to define what is moral and what is not moral?
The Bible is widely open to interpretation.
Do you believe you have the authority to define what is moral and what is not moral based on YOUR interpretation of the Bible? Face it, all you have is your interpretation.
Do you believe you have the authority to claim that your interpretation of the Bible is from God?
