-Removed-You don't know what I believe; even after I tell you what I believe, you repeat it back
to me in ways that are not accurate. What church do I go to, what do those in my
church's leadership believe, and who are they? What is it that I believe that I
regurgitate from my church, and in that, what is it that aligns perfectly with my
church's doctrine and what does not? You either know, or you lied.
-Removed-Yes, God and His goodness and righteousness is the scale we are all held to, when
God tells us to love one another and Him. He says do this and not that that is
important. Unlike you, who look for ways to justify beating people with rods. You
take things out of context and use them to do harm and justify yourself when you
do it, and ignore scriptures that tell us how to treat one another; you are your scale
of right and wrong, and you place above scripture when you say you use your moral
compass to decide what is and is not good scripture. If you want to discover how
we are to line up with God's goodness and righteousness. I suggest you start taking
the Word of God more seriously in trying to understand what it says and why it
is saying it; it was not written capriciously.
@kellyjay saidI have listened to you expound upon your religious beliefs. You do not believe that you are "held to a scale" where "God is the scale". Nonsense. You believe your "sins", whatever they are, and however many there are, are forgiven ~ not that you must stop "sinning" ~ and that people like me, because I am "not squeaky clean", as you put it ~ deserve to be brutalized in the most grotesque way the depraved human imagination has ever come up with.

I have listened to you expound upon your religious beliefs. You believe everyone "deserves" to be tortured because "everyone is completely evil", although your religious beliefs just so happen to render you immortal. Stop prattling on about how you are "held to a scale".
-Removed-You proclaimed things as if they are knowledge to you and charged me with only
saying things to you for reasons you declared; you lied. Do you think you only need
a little insight; therefore, you know a little that you can make proclamations as if
they are true? You should know this is more than likely people can tell you things
and you don't see what it is they are saying; you are too busy making it all fit into
your so-called knowledge and understanding that you fail to see what they are
saying, and when you start calling them out for not being consistent, more than
likely they could be, but what is being said is not consistent with the box you put
others in when you decided they are only saying what they did because of whatever
cause you granted them in your imagination.
@fmf saidIt isn't our beliefs that we need to concern ourselves with, not mine or yours.

Instead, the only thing important here is the reality we are in, true? Concerning
reality simply because something is declared true is horrible, that automatically
does not means it isn't true, or we could deny cancer when that is the prognoses.
It is also sicking to assume the one who tells us we have it is not because s/he is
telling us the bad news is delighted over it; they are just being truthful. You want a
pretty nice God who would not judge or condemn evil, at least not yours, He is
righteous, so condemnation for the evil we do will be a must-do because He is
good. The one thing He did not have to do is take our sins upon Himself so that we
could be forgiven, and even there, you find fault as you expound your beliefs.
-Removed-I can back all I say about scripture and would be delighted if you could with
scripture shows me where I'm wrong instead of just declaring what is said is dogma
and NOT once show me how I'm viewing scripture wrong. When I'm talking about
scripture, and when you talk about it, we at times talking about the meanings in it
not using direct quotes for every meaning there is, but if we are wrong, explain how,
just saying that word is not in scriptures is a runaway cheap means of saying I don't
believe that without refuting it directly.
@kellyjay saidA relatively long post by you ostensibly replying to me challenging you about your claim that you are "held to a scale" and yet you managed to do it without using the word "scale", or, indeed, without really replying to me challenging you about your claim that you are "held to a scale". It's stuff like this that get labelled "slabs of generic faithspeak". Gosh. Just read it back to yourself.
