On the Attribution of Value to Dust

Perhaps she is bringing it up because of your obvious lack of courage.

It takes fear to label someone a coward. I guess that's just evolution in process, and you can give yourself a pass since you're not accountable to anything but yourself.

You are mistaken. I don't fear KellyJay.

Is man equipped with an innate responsibility to attribute those codes and values to himself, with no accountability to anything else at all but to himself?

Aside from the exercise of one's conscience, accountability is to one's family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, community, and society.

Good luck with that when Jesus returns as Lord of lords and King of kings, and everything the Bible says will happen does happen. You may even live to see it.

If this is your main 'debating point' in reply to the stuff I have contributed to this topic on the first few pages, it seems very weak.

What my president wants? What in the world are you talking about, and why bring that up? The thing you should be concern about is if there are people you hate who you see, do you think the love of God is in you?

1 John 4
If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.

Even the Devil quotes scripture.

I'm sure God never intended for His Word to be used selectively and out of context for Christians to bash other Christians with.

I love my brother, probably more than you do. I see as my brother the entire brotherhood of man, not just selected Christians, or just selected people from my own country. I am not a Nationalist. I believe in supporting what society calls "the least of us", Jesus said that what you do to them, you do to Him.

But this president is not my brother. He is an unrepentant sinner who publicly mocks his constituency every day and works tirelessly to the detriment of anyone and everyone not like him. He does not know God, except to the extent that saying he does gets him votes. He worships Mammon; he has made more money off the office of the President than any other president before him. He is corrupt, he is for sale to anyone who says good things about him and he attempts to destroy anyone who says something about him he doesn't like. This is not my president, and he is not my brother.

What in the world are you going on about and why? You want to talk about Trump, talk about him, but why are you dragging me into your Trump bashing? I could care less what you think about Trump, or any other President! How you vote, and who you vote for is up to you and I don't care about that either!

With respect to who is your brother and who you are to love, I suggest you look at Jesus' words on what the top two commandments say. There wasn't a disclaimer for anyone, so if you want to get on your high horse on who loves who better, I think you should start with those that feel your better than. All of us are sinners, if you want to pick and choose who is okay to love and okay to hate or put down, please get the chapter and verse justifying that doctrine.

You support Trump and you never criticize his character or behaviour. You didn't support Obama and you criticized his character and behaviour when he was in office. If you are demonstrating some sort of ethical principle here, people would be forgiven for not knowing what on Earth it is.
