At first, KM, when I 'm talking over here about "discrimination" I don't mean the "discrimination of the evil and of the good" but rather I imply the quality of racism -of a racism which it has nothing to do with ethnotic differences but it is associated with the religious differencies.
Surely I have not absorbed your way of looking into my world!
A ...[text shortened]... ousness as known by John" etc, then this is racism and BS big time🙂
It seems to me that you have already decided long ago that I am being discriminative and there's little I can do to open your mind to a different way of looking at this. In this context you come across as narrow minded as anyone else because you won't consider a different perspective.
I still fail to see how professing salvation via grace and saying that God is active in this world is discriminating against anyone. We all have opinions do we not? And these opinions do not always co-incide.
You don't seem incredibly willing to really think hard about the way you look at the world right now. You have made your decision - "KM is discriminating " and that's that. You also seem to have tarred me with the same brush as Ephin and unconsciously grouped me together with him. A moments rational thought would reveal that although I have many things in common with him , I also disagree with him here and there. Such subtlties seem to escape you in your crusade. It's always a sign that someone has an emotional hidden agenda when they cannot separate individuals like this.
You teach what you most need to learn.
