runner,

I try to back my opinions with facts.

Your comments are purely based on your own
beliefs and judgements. There's a big difference.

Dear runner,

Perhaps you have forgotten these words:

Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Are we not brothers? Are you entitled to judge me? Am I entitled to judge you?

funny david f how you quote someone you claim not to believe in. He also declared that all are sinners (corrupt). That obviously does not exclude you or me. At least read the context and then you will see what Jesus was talking about in judging others.

you ask

'Are we not brothers? Are you entitled to judge me? Am I entitled to judge you?'

obviously I am not your ultimate Judge. Every knee will bow before the Judge who is Jesus Christ. The fact that your opinions flow from godless ideology does not prevent me from being able to expose those godless opinions that come from adopting the denial of Your Creator. Hence you endorse baby killing, immorality etc. You are no different to anyone else embracing godless ideology. This forum is exactly for that. A sharing of opinions. Your own mouth (or pen) judges you.

Dear runner,

There is both wisdom and nonsense in the Bible. There is nonsense like the virgin birth and wisdom like the part about judging. Like all other books the Bible was written by humans. One does not have to believe in the man-god, Jesus, or any of the mumbojumbo in the Bible to accept the wisdom found in it. The Bible was written by people trying to find their way in the uncertain world they lived in. You and I are still trying to find our way in the uncertain world we live in. Jesus said nothing about either abortion or homosexuality. Yet people who claim to follow him have views they claim are based on their religion. I place the wishes of the pregnant woman above the life of the fetus within her. I think she has a right to decide she does not want to continue a pregnancy. You would deny her that right. That is the difference between us. I think it is a great advance in human rights that a woman can get a legal abortion. If you can get enough people who agree with you to make abortion illegal again, you won’t stop women trying to get an abortion. You will only bring back the backyard butcher, the attempted abortion by knitting needle and suicides by desperate pregnant women.

You sound like a very angry man. If I had lived your life I might be angry, too. However, the saying about turning the other cheek is a good one. I see no need to return your anger. We can both try to do the best we can do. You and I are both human beings. I am sorry to have been angry at you in past posts. We can disagree without anger and can recognise the humanity in each other.

runner,

That is precisely the point.

Your own mouth or pen or in this case - computer
judges you. Therefore be carefully what you express
and how about others is all that's being advised
here. Practice what Christ taught if you are a
believer.

I have no anger towards you. Why should I? I am however often angry about the murder of innocent lives. You obviously justify it by claiming the unborn is not human and renaming it. I am also angry when deviants force their immoral views down the throat of children and others. This is what Jesus said about those who cause little ones to sin

'But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea. Matthew 18:6

And yes that applies to religious people, priests and non religious. Do you agree with Jesus or is He being to 'judgemental'

And yes we are both human thus both corrupted and need the Only incorruptible One in our lives to save us.
