1 John 4:1 compared to The No True Scotsman Fallacy and sophisms

[Thomas Kelly252525]

RoadRunner79,

You may think how I started the thread was enough for a person with enough experience to realize what I was saying.


You may compare in an example below.

Christian says: That person who calls themself a Christian is not really a Christian.

Atheist says:  You are wrong to say that someone who calls themself Christian is not a Christian.

Christian says:  Have you ever looked at 1 John 4:1 ?

RoadRunner79,

--See, that is getting a little better.  Your first post was fairly cryptic--

Some may think of me as cryptic if they don't have the experience needed to understand me.

Do you not think I posted in an atheist forum and offered a discussion about a comparison of 1 John 4:1 and No True Scotsman Fallacy and sophisms ?

We may agree that the misuse of The No True Scotsman Fallacy will be thought of from that by a person with enough experience.

--There are people; who misuse or don't understand the "No true Scottsman"  fallacy.  For some, if what they say is correct, then I am also legitimized, in requiring everyone to refer to me as Dr. Murray (Though I have no such degree).

In actuality, I don't think that it is pertinent if they are or are not a Christian, and that Augustine's thoughts; to never judge a philosophy by it's abuse is more relevant.--

Thanks for the comparison. I have experienced the benefit of Augustine's thoughts in the past.

RoadRunner79, you may look at my answers above.

--As far as I am concerned anyone who claims to be a xtian is one.  It is hardly an honorable title.--

What may you think proves that anyone who claims to be a Christian is one ?  Have you ever heard of the burden of proof ?

--And "john" can go fuck himself.--

I'm not hurt by that.  I've got the patience.

Minimalist, you may look at my answer above.
