It was some General Forum banter poking fun at Grampy Bobby's proclivity for copy pasting. Is that really a situation that James 4:4 - and the Bible generally ~ is intended for? Do you sincerely believe that, in that forum chatter, divegeester demonstrated "enmity for God" by mentioning Grampy Bobby's copy pasting? Do you really believe this is an example of an ...[text shortened]... occasion" for one Christian to suggest to another Christian that he or she is "an enemy of God"?
Quoting scripture is appropriate for all occasions and circumstances. James 4:4 is an accurate depiction on the occasion of a so-called Christian joining forces with other non-believing individuals in maligning, insulting and viciously attacking a Christian brother.
That's all there is to it. Plain and simple.
Originally posted by FMFThe scriptures say what they say. I know you have a hard time believing them, but that doesn't change the facts.
As a Christian speaking to a fellow Christian, do you really - genuinely - sincerely seek to suggest to divegeester that he is "an enemy of God"? And is that why you cited James 4:4 on a General Forum thread when you came across him teasing another poster about his copy pasting habit?

"Poking fun"? You can minimize all you want.
Haven't you already apologized for overreacting to it?
Originally posted by josephwIf James 4:4 is "appropriate for all occasions and circumstances", could it be used to brand you as "an enemy of God" for your scathing remarks about divegeester?

Originally copy pasted by Grampy BobbyDo you feel the banter between wolfgang59 and divegeester midway down page 13 of Thread 167360 was an "occasion of a so-called Christian joining forces with other non-believing individuals in maligning, insulting and viciously attacking a Christian brother"?

In other words, the geester is a serial accuser who hates it if someone says something less than flattering about him.
