If you arrive at perfection I doubt any of us would want to talk to you, look how we treat the great and powerful Duke? 🙂
Fairly often, I go back to read a post of mine only to find it to be vague and or confusing. It seems like confusion creeps in in my final edits. I think my posts are sometimes justifiably dismissed by readers for this reason and or because I don’t take a clear stand. If it’s deliberate, I hope it’s not trolling but instead is seeking to elicit informative discussion. I’ll take your criticism seriously.

Originally posted by @kellyjayWhat? Use scripture to defend his view of scripture?
Well at least you are attempting to go direct to the question, but why not use scripture to
defend your view about scripture instead of judging scripture by what you think about it?
Are you mad, why would he want to do that? He wants to torture us for what seems like an eternity with his own doctrine.

I thought you don't believe in moral absolutes?
Daniel, I will tell you this once more and not again.
I am not interested in you, dj2becker, fetchmyjunk or Romans1009. I’m not interested in your posts, your opinions or any of your repetitive idiocy. I will not be engaging with you as you are a juvenile lying troll.
I trust that is clear, but if not, tough.
Originally posted by @kellyjay to JS357Interesting that you would say this to another poster. You have been questioning my motives by accusing me of being a liar these last couple of days because I asked you a couple of awkward but straightforward questions.

For the record, I take you at your word when you claim that you are a Christian. I do not think you are a liar. I do not need you to prove you are a Christian, nor is there any litmus test about your brand of Christianity now or in the past, nor do I have any questions about your past history. I just take you at your word. I am not accusing of you of being a liar.
It's curious that, in a simple discussion like this, you are unable to return this common courtesy.
Originally posted by @fmfNo, the question had nothing to do my views about you. Hard questions, easy questions

are asked all the time here. Anyone who understood the gospel at any time in their lives
would have some understanding of its truth, you seem to have none. I began to question
your story due to the total of things you have said, not a single question, or insult.
Originally posted by @kellyjayI am not a liar, and I haven't lied about anything, whatever you might choose to say in the midst of an exchange of views that makes you uncomfortable. And I haven't called you a liar either. I take what you say about yourself at face value and in good faith. For me, this is a matter of common decency even if it's not for you.

Originally posted by @kellyjayI am an agnostic atheist. Assertions about the "truth" of the gospels are for Christians to make. Stop deflecting. Stop running away from the discussion.
