Do you believe it is godly or Christian to misrepresent what other posters post by rewording what they post based on your own personal view?

I believe it is always the other side (whatever that happens to be) that misrepresents and misquotes what the other side says. :tonofbricks:

It is never prudent nor effective to misrepresent someone.

Maybe what could happen is when we see someone's view that does not line up with our own logic and doctrine we could say:
I see what you are saying and I understand your honest intent, but I struggle to agree that your intent can be possible because is A is true then it makes no sense that you could arrive to your conclusion. My deinition of A is....... and if that is true than your conclusion must be false.
Rather than saying:
What you really believe, even thought you refuse to admit it is xyz
The latter is rude and puts words in the mouths of other people. And should not be acceptable. -
because what is happening now is people are talking around one another and past one another rather than defining issues that can make for a civil discussion.
Example:
1. I believe the sovereignty of God means .........
2. I believe the free will of man means ............ -

You mean like when I said that I believe the church has always existed since NT times seperate from the RCC and people on here said I was a "landmarkist"?
I posted a statement that I believe to be true, and some on here responded with a lie.

But thanks for making my case. -
MANY here post that cals make God out to be a "Monster/cruel/unfair etc", which is NOT true, yet when we point out that Non cals DO elevate man free will to be THE determining factor in who gets saved, which IS the truth, they rebel at that! -
There is really no need for the pejorative "arrogance" here. More prattle.

Having said that, it's very wrong to misrepresent in order to slander the other person or use it for an argument.
