Quote: But it seemed that what you said in your initial post was brought on by what r3x said here. If that's not the case, and what he said here had nothing to do with it, my apologies.
True, I was refering to his comments here initially, but I was refering to them in light of a displayed pattern, so I'll let it rest.
Quote: I stand corrected. It wasn't homosexuals, it was atheists. Still my original point stands.
well, no because you're original point was that I believe I'm above those whome Jesus doesn't love and i never said he didn't love athiests I just said that he didn't necessarily love each one. That may seem like semantics but it's a very important distinction. I mentioned teh athiest who today rails against Crist in the street, but Crist knows that he is allready His and Jesus clearly loves them it's just not apperant to us, wich is why I assume that anyone at anytime could be favored of the Lord. You choose to ascribe to me disdain for them, but that's only because of assumptions you've made about me and I believe those are false assumptions.
Quote: I view doubting one's own faith and being open to the ideas of others as two very different things.
But that's not what you said, you didn't say I simply wasn't open to other ideas, because then i would simply say you were wrong. If I wasn't open to other ideas why would I be here? To liten to other ideas and to test mine against them, but rather what you said of me was:
Quote: I have a person who simply refuses to open themselves to the idea that what they believe may not be right, but that's an individual quality.
That's not open to hear other ideas that's open to doubt. I'm not open to the idea that my faith isn't right because I have no DOUBT that it is.
Quote: Again, I'm open to those ideas. Heck, for all you know, that's exactly what I believe.
Well then at least I'm willing to put my neck on the line and tell people what I believe. Whay don't you tell us what you believe? If you're going to be so quick to make assumptions about people based on what they believe then it should only be fair to stand proud with whatever it is you believe.
