Don't make the mistake of thinking that you can absolve yourself of the implications of your statements by mentioning that you didn't explicitly say them yourself. That's brinksmanship and deeply, deeply dishonest. I feel the need to remind you here, that doing this is to be deeply dishonest about something that is roundly dismissive of the very humanity of others........are you that guy, do you want to be that guy, does it need to be done in service of christ? I'd answer no to all three if I were you, and for you.(November 17, 2016 at 1:45 pm)Rhythm Wrote: ...Telling people that they'rte not full and whole, somehow, because they don't have jesus?
