So you’re the arbiter of whether sonship is helping to lead people to Christ?

At least sonship’s posts have a purpose to them. What is the purpose of your posts, besides exercising your fingers and pool whizzing?

If sonship leads even a single person to Christ, or even to begin an investigation into whether Christianity is true, he’s done a tremendous service.
This would suggest that he seriously believes that the 'eternal destination' of readers here may be affected by what is written by members of the community.
If he "leads even a single person to Christ" then that is one thing ~ but I am asking him if he has ever thought about the possibility that the opposite is happening.
If my behaviour - according to sonship - might have caused hundreds of people here to face being burned in "Hell", isn't it possible that his own behaviour might have caused people to face the same thing if it has repelled them?

Originally posted by @fmfLike I said, I already addressed that point.

And it certainly seems like you’re pretending to be an arbiter whether you admit or not.
Either that or you’re emptying your bladder in the pool again.

You probably misunderstood him. He probably said reading your posts is eternal torment.
Originally posted by @romans1009Both you and I are obviously entitled to our opinions. The fact that you have expressed yours does not make you "an arbiter".
And it certainly seems like you’re pretending to be an arbiter whether you admit or not.
Originally posted by @romans1009No. He said it as plain as day. Explicitly. "Hundreds" of people on this web site.
You probably misunderstood him.
Originally posted by @romans1009I am just sharing my opinion, much in the same way as you have.
I’m not insinuating that I’m speaking for other people when I have no idea what those people think. That’d be what you’re doing
Originally posted by @fmfWell if 65 percent of people at a clearing in the woods warned people not to walk across a wooden bridge over a ravine because it was in danger of collapsing, and 35 percent told them not to worry about it, that the bridge was in fine condition, would you think the 35 percent were responsible or irresponsible?
