What do you mean by "thrust"?
Are you saying all Christians do this "thrusting", or just the ones you personally have known?
Never mind what she just posted; you ignored by my count at least 4 attempts to legitimately get you engaged in debate. You're using stall tactics, which is just a fancy way to be dishonest towards the members of this forum.
I am not compelled to respond to every person here. I respond to them whose posts I judge to be worthy of a response. I am engaged in other business outside of this forum and I simply do not have enough time to devote to posting as I would like.

By "thrust" I mean...push your views on others and if they don't believe, you feel they are living life in error.
I do not push my views on anyone. If asked about my views, I will usually answer. I have had premarital sex on numerous occasions so if I condemn anyone I must condemn myself first.
If I ask you about your views and you tell me about them I would not be justified in thereby concluding you were thrusting your views on me.
With regards to living in error, God has either shown us the way we should live or He has not. If He has then I live in error if I do not live according to this way. If He has not, then I do not err.
Either Christ's righteoussness is the standard by which we must live or it is not. If it is, and I fail to meet this standard, I am in error, I fail. If it is not, then well....
