    I in no way taunt my personal feeling in the way you suggest, I only said he was trying to win an arguement by tainting my character, of which you almost assist him by your presumptions. I only answered him in a way which he alone can understand, you're being very divisive by your inciting a riot when these things just need to be hashed out between two loving brethren, so be my guest not to insinuate upon your presupposions.

    Correction: it is not His kindeness, but His goodness, now if you wanted to talk about His lovingkindnesses, that is a very closlely linked subject.

    I can't find a single post of yours where this is evident.
    My way of thinking is in accordance with scripture. So you disagree with my scriptural view. Big deal. No one agrees with everything another person believes in scripturally. That doesn't mean their line of thinking is out of order. In fact, you referred to my line of thinking as inconsistend and hypocritical. I think most people on this board, even where they disagree with me, would find my line of thinking quite consistent, and generally (though admittedly not always) free from hypicrisy.
    I don't shout during church. I am silent during church except where appropriate. Paul commands that people remain silent during the teaching parts of church.

    Wrong, or I wouldn't be at the church I'm at.
    It most assuredly does in this case.
    No, I did not, only inconsistent and consistently hypocritical.
    Yes, I do suppose you do think other people think the way you think they do, but we both know that everyone doesn't think you think others think you're really thinking. You try to bring the Word of God down to man's reasoning and thereby able to legislate to others by liberality, that in itself is hypocritical.

    why won't you just admit that i stand stronger on the issue than you do and quit with all the namecalling? You can't, it's not in your nature, but the rest is your nature, not spiritual in nature.

    Hmmm, I wonder what you do with all the shouting going on in the Psalms?

    I am not surprised by your answer, it is hypocritical in essence, you think shouting is not appropiate in church, but you also think it's ok to gamble recreationally. Your church, if everyone is much like you, is a good place for people to die and go to hell in because of all the dead formalism that is in it?
