@johnsmdm Of those …
@johnsmdm Of those 4 words, I get the impression you only know the definition of the word “hi”. “Douchebag” is at best just childish, nothing I said had ANYTHING to do with “race”, & it’s a total sham to dress up your rude small-mindedness with the phony politeness of your “sir”.
Shalom
@deepmind …hi …
@deepmind …hi douchebag racist sir….
Scholars have no …
Scholars have no thought what the right meaning of wisdom is.
So – any opinion you may have upon wisdom are distorted and/or incomplete (If not fake.)
I challenge you to right me if I’m incorrect.
quran 002.113 The …
quran 002.113 The Jews say: “The Christians have naught (to stand) upon; and the Christians say: “The Jews have naught (to stand) upon.” Yet they (profess to) study the (same) Book. Like unto their word is what those say who know not; but allah will judge between them in their quarrel on the Day of Judgment.

(Oh why am I even bothering?)
She says about 13 mins in, that Judaism “as we know it” & Christianity emerged in the Second Temple Era, ergo they are more siblings than parent/child.
What about the hundreds of years of Judaism that came before that era? Was that merely a prolonged gestation period in her mind?
Christianity only came into being when the body of the parent Judaism became infected & dissolute, thereby giving birth to a child. That seems more accurate to me.

Acts 2
37 When they heard this, they were pierced to the sensitivity and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles: “Brothers, what must we do?” 38 “Repent,” Peter said to them, “and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus the Messiah for the absolution of your sins, and you will hear the gift of the Holy Spirit.
“We know for sure Peter was speaking mainly to Jews that day. So, yes Jews and Gentiles need induction and works by faith”
Just another …
Just another zionist cristian with a far rigth agenda,she is another aipac agent.
Why there is no cristian muslin alliance?
Jews using cristians for their zionists wars.

Jesus Christ has returned. I AM.
Well now, another …
Well now, another apprentice of Peter Jennings and the Jesus Seminar.
Have you done an expository or hermeneutical study of the ressurection accounts?
Have you worried yourself with textural criticism?
Would you like to study the text with me and look to the works of credible scholars as to whether they are contradictory or complementary?
Or are you satisfied with giving the truth all the consideration of ordering off the value menu at MacDonalds?
I’m glad you …
I’m glad you returned.
You never answered the question.
What if your incorrect about Christianity and the claims and teachings of Christ Jesus?
No – as I said. I …
No – as I said. I don’t believe in Christian fundamentalism. I believe in evolution. I don’t believe in the literal inerrancy of Scripture. If there were, there wouldn’t be conflicting accounts of the Resurrection tale in the four Gospels alone.
Amusing how you’re trying to punch a hole in my beliefs, while I haven’t criticized yours in the least. Now who’s being inconsiderate?
Well, that’s what …
Well, that’s what you did – grasping at straws, are we?
The first sign a …
The first sign a person has lost all most likely argument in themselves is when they take a swing at you.
See, now you’re …
See, now you’re trying to twist and pervert my stance. I could care less WHAT you believe. I just don’t want you trying to force it on me. But, again, I estimate I shouldn’t expect anything different from a fundamentalist. Logic already works against you, so your only hope of winning a debate is to manipulate what your opponent says. Amusing how the most devout Christians end up being the most subversive, conniving, and giant.
Have a splendid day!
“You don’t know …
“You don’t know WHAT I believe, apart from for the fact that I don’t believe in Christian fundamentalism.”
Here’s a paradox.
Do you believe that you “don’t believe” in Christianity?
Gee. You’ll have to …
Gee. You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t weep over that zinger. Be grateful you for allowing for the same sort of open-mindedness and fruitful discussion I’ve come to expect from Christian fundamentalists – NONE.
I see you have left …
I see you have left the sphere of relativistic truth and assumed an objective position.
If truth is relative and you are tolerant then my comments should in no way offend you. They cannot be right and you would tolerate them.
Isnt it amusing how tolerance isnt so tolerable when your views are under assault?
“I’m confused” is …
“I’m confused” is the first most likely statement you have made.
I’m confused. You …
I’m confused. You don’t know WHAT I believe, apart from for the fact that I don’t believe in Christian fundamentalism. I never said I was right about anything – as a Christian fundamentalist, I take upon yourself that’s something YOU can declare enough for the both of us. But I will absolutely stand up and refuse, with every fiber of my being, from suspending rational thought to embrace a fundamentalist religion. I don’t have to believe what you believe. And to take upon yourself that you know my “dogma” is arrogant.
Define tolerance.
Define tolerance.
Your dogma is as …
Your dogma is as clear as the fact that you believe you are right.
You indeed have made clear that you “believe” you are right in your understanding of fundamentalism.
So indeed you have stated a belief.
If objective truth does not exist then the warrant of your argument has no validity.
In re-reading your …
In re-reading your post, I reckon what you said was INCREDIBLY rude. I never said I don’t tolerate Christian fundamentalism. I’ve tolerated it my whole life as a former Southern Baptist; it’s just that, after careful study, I no longer believe the dogma. I believe that people who believe the same way I do should be allowed to have intelligent discussion lacking being snowed under with threats of damnation and condemnation. That’s not intolerance.
Be grateful you, …
Be grateful you, Discipleof theWord, for attacking me with the sort of flawed pseudo-logic I’ve come to associate with right-wing fundamentalists. Who even said that truth exists? Why does there HAVE to be a truth besides the one you make for yourself? And be grateful you for making this exceptionally personal – I never said anything about what I believed, I merely drew attention to the inconsistencies and hypocrisies I’ve personally encountered with Christian fundamentalism.
Be grateful you for your response.

@TommyGDub
If truth is a “relative term” your own statement implodes since it is merely subjective relativism and can hold no objective truth.
Since truth is relative your comment can have no relevance on any issue.
Your view of tolerance fails as well since you yourself cannot tolerate any views other than your own.
Tolerance is just that, tolerant, of which you are not.
Your own position is as flawed fundamentality as the thoughts you attack.
