@rajk999 saidYou to mean to love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself?
I speak the truth otherwise you would have stated what I said is not correct. Here is a question
Have you ever told anyone to keep the commandments, like the way Jesus did?
Jesus Christ said those were the two greatest commandments.
Do you to tell people to keep those commandments?
Has the word “love” ever come out of your mouth?
Can you say you love God?
Can you say you love your neighbor?
What specific guidance do Christians in this community think the Bible gives them on how to interact with non-believers and/or non-Christian theists?
Try to remember what it was like when you yourself were an unbeliever and didn't know Christ. Recall your various attitudes toward those who talked to you about thier Lord Jesus.
@sonship saidI seem to remember you describing my contributions to discussions as like asking people to eat animal faeces.

@sonship saidI've never described your beliefs as excrement or said anything remotely like that. I was quite amused by how you described mine that way. There was no glass jaw for me.
Yes, I know you remember saying anything you wish about me but having a glass jaw when spoken to in similar frank terms.
@josephw saidThe sarcasm is strong in this one.
And your light shines so brightly in this forum.
We can see all your wonderful "good works" in every post you make.
God is sooo glorified by the love you demonstrate with all your gracious words.
@josephw saidYou can always read about David and realize that you can be a dick and still be favored by God.
That's the thing about reading scripture. It always seems to be pointing its finger in my face.
I probably shouldn't say this, but I'm comforted in knowing it applies to everyone else as well.
@rajk999 saidYou trot this out as an excuse to not have a personal testimony about your walk with God. One wonders if you do this because you have nothing to testify about.
Jesus and all the Apostles condemned people like you in the strongest possible language . Gracious words are not for your type. You are a false teacher leading people to damnation. For you words like, foolish man, fool, hypocrite, blind guide are the kinds of words applicable to your type.
My light certainly does shine for the people willing to hear and understand the teac ...[text shortened]... not required. Good works and righteousness must be encouraged otherwise your doctrine is a sham. .
@josephw saidWell, only if everyone gets that point.
You are correct of course.
I keep in view the perspective that the naysaying serves the purpose of confirming the plain truth of scripture.
There are verses that speak to that.
And thus why, at least in this forum, one often has to resort to the obvious.
There's very little effort put into looking past that.
@josephw saidUntil finally, in Revelation, we see a clear delineation between those who bear the Mark of God and those who bear the Mark of the Beast.
That theme begins in Genesis and goes through the entire bible.
Before that, it's generally left as an exercise for the student.
@rajk999 saidThat's a whole lot of assumption.
You cannot reason away the teachings of Christ. You cannot fail to support your false doctrine and think it will go away because you do it ad nauseam. There is only one way to eternal life in the Kingdom of God, which Jesus Christ explained ad nauseum and you have failed to promote that doctrine, and instead you promote a doctrine of dead faith.
So far your have never ...[text shortened]... who keep the commandments are practicing works salvation
Nothing from your mouth is from Christ.
I know that you pile all this on your side of the scales, and I realize you need a thumb leaning on your side of the scales, but still, that's a whole lot of assumption.
@suzianne saidI know you love to boast about yourself, and having the Holy Sprit, and you are saved etc etc, and that is the result of listening to church pastors instead of Christ. I dont care to be like you ... so get away from me ...
You trot this out as an excuse to not have a personal testimony about your walk with God. One wonders if you do this because you have nothing to testify about.
