I didn't see what Terry wrote as bad behavior; I saw it as him making an honest statement.

If Bill felt "excluded from the faith" by that, then he obviously needs some foundational work

I didn't read any assumption from DM dither  - but then that was possibly another figment

since he is normally quite careful about these things.  If the judgmental assumptions are a

figment of yours or Bills imaginations - then where does that leave you?  The victim of

"accusing spirits" who speak to all of us all of the time, you must learn to recognize and

resist them.  This is walking after the Spirit.   jt

Of course not   --  but you do not ask the right question.  The question should be "Does bad behavior excuse bad behavior."  Those on the right fairly often make worded statements that exclude some on this forum from The Faith.   Such was the assumption  (probably unintentional)  from DM and the confirmation from Terry  (again, probably unintentional.)     I will excuse BT for getting upset at such judgmental assumptions.  Someone on this forum can place me squarely in the pit of hell and that is just fine  --   but if I think someone to be "nuts" well,  THAT IS NUTS.   JD

Does becoming upset excuse bad behavior JD?   Jesus told the sons of thunder they didn't know what

spirit they were of.....jt

Calling everyone but your little "perichoresis" groupies a pack and/or jerk is neither kind nor is it loving.  jt

Is it, Judy?   How would you know -- aren't you the one always claiming she can't read between the lines? I've heard of selective hearing: perhaps yours is related. Again, Lance, please do not toss me out in another of your comparisons, not to this pack anyway.

Isn't it amazing how much less information it takes to determine the jerks among us?

 

We all get your point, Lance -- and it's a valid one. But please do not toss me out in another of your comparisons, not to this pack anyway. 

 

By the way, Terry: Do you have to work on these, or do they come naturally?

Were we to give Vladmir a Bible and two months of instruction on reading/interpreting it then, pick two or three extended passages for discussion (say the Sermon on the Mount, Philippians 2 & Galatians 5), whose observations would more likely approximate 'writerly intent'? (Supplement this by suggesting that Kramnik was actually converted just before being given the Bible). Would the outcome likely differ?

 

Not tryin' ta be clever TTers!
