Man, to think what you could be doing for the Kingdom with the vast amount of time it must take to go back and pull up dirt on people.
I bet God is quite proud of you.
Rippon couldn't research how to make ice water.
Regardless which position you take, you are not going to get a civil or coherent discussion from this person.
sn, I'm not here to defend Rippon in particular, but I've noticed how often you castigate people on this forum for not being civil or nice; yet I look at your post here as an example of that which you so often denounce.
Sorry, but I do not agree.
Look at my statement and compare it to the statements he makes about people preaching or believing a different gospel, or hinting at someone not being saved.
Fine, you don't have to accept my rebuke, but I am being honest when I say that your posts come across just as caustic as those you claim are caustic.
You may think your reason to be caustic is noble, but we should try to reach a higher standard, myself included.
Looking at your statements should bring you to your knees.
You lie big time so often here on the BB about me SN --Why? I'm tired of your constant lying campaign against me. You have asked forgiveness for your lies in the past,but you are back to your sinful old ways. Cease.
Document where I have said someone here teaches another gospel. If you can't do that then confess that you are a false accuser.
My posts do not consist of research on other members, so probably not.
I don't think I have spent 20 minutes on any one post in 6 years that didn't include Scripture.
I think the casual reader can see the difference.
Just from reading Rippon's posts, I could never set down and have a civil discussion with him/her. Anyone that cannot see the attitude he/she portrays in their posts is willingly blind.
I suppose we could all sit around and rebuke each other all day long, but I was just struck by the apparent hypocrisy of SN's constant rebuking of others (not just in this thread, but all over the board).
There is no equivalency. SN makes things up out of the air on a regular basis and lobs whatever is easiest to throw in my direction. It doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense or that he is bearing false witness --or being nasty because he has anger issues unrelated to me.
What you need to do B4L, is to have something constructive to say once in a blue moon.
