Kelly

It means people like you, and whodey, and the various other fundamentalist Christians are people who she in no way wants to be associated with.

Reread the post.

Or do you really want to go back to those who preach "forgiveness" and "love of your neighbor", yet support the death penalty and the ostracization of homosexuals?

Love and forgive. You mean like driving money changers out of temples with whips?

Now see that just hurts. Sure Kelly and I have been known to smite a few heathens in our day but to suggest we are "bad company" I think is hitting below the belt. :'(

Jesus said that He will judge. If you haven't figured it out, that doesn't include you. Jesus spoke time and again against hypocrisy. You judge homosexuals as unfit to attend your church because of what you deem to be their sin. Based on prior discussions, you allow yourself and others to continue to attend your church even though you continue to sin.

You're certainly a prideful one.

And I simply suggested that you reread the post - twice.

What's more, I gave you an example anyway.

I think I'm a pretty humble person but whatever. At least I'm not arrogent with rudeness.
Anyway I asked for a list I could discuss with you not one example.

More than that. She finds your interpretations of Jesus to be repulsive and twisted.

What's interesting is that it seems that most prideful people believe themselves to be humble. What's also interesting is that prideful people often take the truth as "rudeness".

I chose to give you one. Take it or leave it. Or you could even do something radical and reread the post (if that's not beyond you).

Getting to the truth can be time consuming. That seems to be the reason so many are content to be provided with simplistic answers, no matter how false.

It seems most rude people believe they are acting with kindness.

A notion that seems to be quite prevalent, especially amongst Christians, is that there is something "unkind" or "rude" about truth. So they cover up truth with "white lies", by omission, etc. which are forms of deceit. What's interesting is that these same Christians believe that "God is truth" and that deceit is borne of Satan, yet they shrink from the truth and embrace deceit. They spend so much time in darkness that they can't stand the light of truth.

You should be a story writer. You certainly have a great imagination. 😀

Well, other than that I'm not so bad.

BTW: Is she standing right behind you telling you what she thinks of me? 😲
