What's a 'Red-Letter Christian'?

And I would not say you are simple minded, quite the opposite!

 

Whilst not agreeing entirely with the idea (I certainly don't agree that Jesus' words contradict or negate the rest of Scripture), I can see where it comes from: it is important to remember that we are followers of Jesus, over and above followers of the Bible; we are Christians not 'Biblians'. Accordingly Scripture in its entirety must be viewed through the lens of the Incarnation; the Word written must be interpreted in the light of the word made flesh

 

All scripture is profitable, SB. 2 Timothy 3:16, 17

I know profitable is a big word, look it up.

I'm curious as to why you would prefer others to PM you rather than post publically. One of the reasons I come here is to learn what other people believe and do. That happens through a willingness to publically share.

I don't see any haters here. I don't agree with everyone here on everything. There are a few with whome I agree on very few things, but I still see brothers and sisters.

 

It is interesting how the enlightened ones resort to personal attacks and private gossip sessions about those whom they consider to be hateful. Around here, we call those kind of people sissies and cowards because they are not man or woman enough to speak their mind to the people they are smearing in private.

JB, check yer PM's . just jokin'.

 

Nobody can take away another's salvation. We can, however, challenge false doctrines, and rebuke and correct them using Scripture.

The lowest form of debate tactic (which is no longer debate) is personal attack. When a person has nothing more valid to say on the topic; or when debating a subject he finds that he is defeated, he resorts to name calling, personal innuendo, and personal attack. I gave you a list of every book of the Bible and how Christ could be found in all the Bible--Old Testament and New, not just the red letters; and you reply with terms like "haters, twisters, accusers." Have you nothing better to contribute? If you can't contribute anything positive then don't contribute at all. There are many other boards you can post at.
Posting here is not your right.
It is a privilege. Go back and read the rules. Then remember that you clicked a button that said "I agree." Are you a man of your word or not?

SuperBaptist, I may well have read DHK's post incorrectly, but I thought he was referring to your lack of civil discourse when people disagree with you. He was reminding you that you signed an agreement to be polite and kind. If anyone doesn't abide by that agreement, I do believe it is within a moderator's purvue to remind anyone us of that fact.

It appears to me, you don't want to hear what others have to say, but would rather others see the light and agree with you. I'm glad to see that people want to take the Bible as a whole. As I mentioned earlier, I don't possess the discernment to rank the various parts of scripture based on their importance.

 

And that's not a personal attack?!

 

Nope. It is the truth...that really is what we call people like that around here. Tell me...were you one of those cowards gossiping about me in private behind my back? If not, then I fail to see how you could possibly view it as personal or as an attack.

Joseph Botwinick

 

No I wasn't. It's still a personal attack though because you are attacking the person of someone else

Geddit?
