The good far outweighs the bad, and when communicating a complete testimony one can not just focus on the bad. We have only ever discussed the bad here because that is all you all want to focus on. Which is fine, until one of you assumes my faith is built on the same bad crap your unbelief is based on.(October 1, 2013 at 1:05 am)Drich Wrote: Suffering is only 1/2 the equation. Prosperity is the other 1/2. Lord willing maybe one day I will be able to fly all of you here to see the proof of both halves. That day has not come yet, but I think I see it on the horizon.
Whether that particular day comes or not, I have not only found contentment in whatever I have been given, but through it all I also prize what has been taken away. So, I can truly rejoice and say:
The Lord gives and The Lord takes away, blessed be the name of The Lord.
So, just to be real clear, here: FNM called you out on making an arrogant assumption about the people here, and your response to him, to rebut the premise of his argument, is to move the goalposts and, in the process, making a second arrogant assumption?
You're just really intent on ensuring this hole you're in has no bottom, aren't you?
I did not move the goal posts here. I simply brought the rest of the conversation back into view for you all.

I look at it this way, because the message can not be destroyed you look to destroy the messenger. Thereby allowing you the option to now dismiss the message. This is how unbelief is maintained when the message itself can not be outright dismissed.

Look at how your work personally against me has decomposed from being somewhat scripturaly based attacks to just being personal attacks... If my works were so easy to dismiss then why not stick to saying something revelant? Something topical? Why do the majority of your posts not start till after the subject matter has been set aside in favor of coming after me or just some greater appeal to some social morality?
