Are you capable of imagining I'm throwing a tantrum?
Sure, why not. Keep imagining.
When you get back to reality, remind yourself that you tried to tell me that a diverging view that amounts to 0.00009 % of groups counts as widespread.
That way we can both laugh together.
Widespread indeed.
You have a short memory. We've discussed three christian schisms, and within those three schisms, two different sub-sects. For reference...and to help the forgetful...we've discussed catholics, protestants, and a specific type of methodist, individually. These three groups can't agree on this item - which you've agreed is core.. These three groups, alone, account for -slightly- more than .00009% of christians...... Just the first two, who disagree with each other on this an of course , other, items.... account for roughly 2 billion people (or so those organizations claim). Yes...widespread, indeed.
Why is this a problem for you...I don't understand? You can't defend your faith or your claims against reality...and there's no need to.....since reality is simply telling us that christianity is as diverse as those who follow it..... If I were your pastor, I'd be disappointed. You've done nothing in this thread except for disrespecting the faith and the body of the faithful. The road you're on doesn't lead to grace. Now, I may not believe in grace, but you do...so it's something to think about.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
