if I woke up with the kind of deceived mind that you boast in, it would be better for me to be dead then in such darkness.
Don't you have any family or friends whom you would love and who would love you even if you weren't a Christian ~ even if you didn't have the "mind" that you display and the rote-learned dogma that you recite here? I don't see how it would be "better for [you] to be dead"? "Better" for your family and friends? "Better" for you in what way?

Paul said all that he held in high esteem before He discovered Christ he counted as dung in comparison.
One can deduce that Paul was simply trash-talking the beliefs of people who were not subscribing to the new religion he was setting up.


Christ is the fulfillment of the law, right, and I like to draw the comparison that the law refers to a conventional sort of relaity while Christ refers to the transcendent truths.

And that is illustrated here in the sermon on the mount directly.

Apparently Philippians 3:8 authorizes Christians of the sonship kind to tell non-Christians on the internet that they are "eating faeces" and that their ideas are "animal excrement". He called Ghost of a Duke a "stinky, drunken leper" recently for expressing his ideas in a discussion; what Bible verse empowered sonship to do that, I wonder?

OK, this is the first time in 2019 that I see the "eating feces" thing brought up.

Sonship, do you think this is also the first time the phrase has been u sed against you?

Let's see how many times in 2019 FMF will bring the phrase up -- and we can try to keep count of the mentions of Romans as well, lol.

I've never accused sonship of "eating faeces" or described his beliefs as "faeces". I have never said anything even remotely like that to him in over a decade.

sonship has now made his "eating faeces" thing squarely about the Holy Bible: Philippians 3:8. I can't remember ever using the Bible in such a tawdry way in all my years as Christian.

Probably not, you waited until now, after you denied the Christ.

It's sonship who's citing Philippians 3:8 for his forum banter, not me.

Aren't you therefore using Phil. 3:8 in your own tawdry way, to denigrate him?

I don't doubt you didn't do that then, but it's right here, right now, now that you believe it's all hogwash anyways.

No. He's using Phil. 3:8 ~ not me ~ to justify calling the expression beliefs - that are different from his - as "eating faeces" on an online message board. He's using that verse from the Holy Bible to authorize himself to refer to non-Christian ideas as "eating faeces". It's him who is doing this, and not me. You have it the wrong way around. Have you read the exchange?
