The admiral takes one to the chin!

Excuse me, but why should I give him a break? Does he deserve one? In what way? I don't think that he deserves a break because he doesn't show the fruits of a christian...
First, it's Christian.
Uh, where are the names that I have called him that were not evidence by his posts?quote:
He is insulting [ look at the names he has called me], he has insulted my intelligence [so what, that I am not the smartest cookie in the jar, I still have balls enough to play, and to play fairly]...You show me chapter and verse where Jesus did the same thing as that in the same context, and I will back off. K?
Interesting, everything you accuse him of doing you are guilty of yourself.
quote:
Excuse me???? are you saying that we are not allowed to judge what type of character another human being is??? Are you saying that the evidence that a person puts out is not enough to judge a person?
Admiral_deception, Mind showing me where I said any of that?
Can you, in your opinion, judge anything about another human being?

But you do have the right to judge fruit of the individual as to whether it is good or bad or non-existent fruit...
Tell me, have you held that view long?
On 30th of June, 2002 in the year of our Lord at 0958 hours you said the following, and I quote:

Tell me, what right do Christians have to "judge others"
That was said here if you want to go back and edit it. FYI: I have saved a copy of this page so that even if you do edit it, you won't escape.
Pointing the truth without kindness is cruelty...a form of hatequote:
The fruit of the spirit that Jesus was referring to is found in Gal. 5:22. But the fruit that I find that Goose is continuously putting out is found in verse 20.
Hatred: I don't see any hate. In fact I see the opposite, someone who loves enough to point out the truth.
Wrath: None of that...
First off, my friends don’t use derogatory names or misuses my name to bolster their ego...Second, the dictionary definition of “strife” is ‘violent dissension, bitter conflict’...I have said that I was done talking about it in the other thread...But you won’t let me move on. YOU have brought this up.You, in this case, have brought strife here..So,in an attempt to end this, I will say again -All I want from Goose is a simple apology for over statement and being inappropriate....It's the right thing to do...Strife: It is you, my friend, that is causing this.
You tell me, Cisme, what type of fruit does Goose exhibit?
[sarcasm]You're such a great judge and know so much more than I, you tell me.[/sarcasm]

Admiral,
I think you need to re-evaluate your faith and your view on Jesus; pertaining to just what He did and they way He treated people.
I believe that too.Originally posted by admiral_d
...My faith is bibically based, with a reasonable God, who does not send people to hell needlessly, when they choose to reject Him but does everthing thing in His power to arrest the attention of the individual to Him...I was fortunate enought to listen when He choose me to be with Him....We have a great relationship, we talk, and share things, and generally have a great time together....Why would I want to give that up for your religion?
? I never said anything about giving up. I'm talking about looking more at what Jeses did. Not what you think he did. You seem to be able to back up your opinions with little scripture, that easily becomes debunked. I care about your relationship with Jesus.Why should I give up the love of my life, for something that is less than what I have, Goose?

Let’s see, He calls himself a christian, but tells the world that Christ would approve of torturing a condemned person.
Mat 5:17 "Don't think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn't come to destroy, but to fulfill."
As an Ambassador for Christ, he is the letter to the world that displays how Christ would act.
He won’t fess up to even the possibility that he _might_ be just a little bit wrong...
but instead hides behind the myth that other people are not allowed to “judge him” because he is a christian..
He then proceed to call everyone else “hypocrite” for calling him to account for this error of his.
I am asking the questions and asking for clarification of what you said....Why do you jump to conclusions? Are you here to start a fight? IS that what you want? IF so, where is that attitude consistent with the life of Christ?
This is cut and pasted here, with no alterations...Notice the quotation marks around the words 'judge others’.The context is about kicking people when they are down..as in this case, a certain moderator wants to torture people in the name of Christ.....You tell me, Is this the right thing to do? Is this what your daddy taught you that when you put someone down, you kick her and make sure that she is all the way down? Is that right?
Pointing the truth without kindness is cruelty...a form of hate
You mean that goose is not desplaying a passive agressive tenancys in his judging that woman? And it looks to me that you are too...You want evidence of this, well we just happen to have a councilor here on this forum...ZAK, do you think that there are passive/agressive tendency here displayed by both these individuals? [my moneys on the answer “yes”]

First off, "unchristian."
Perhaps you'd care to prove that he wouldn't.
It was thier method of dispatching those found guilty of a crime...But what does that have to do with getting an apology from Goose to prove that he is a christian?Remember, the punishment for killing a person in the OT was stoning, something you might call torture.
You agree!!!!!! To paraphrase someone-Yes.
And you won't fess up to where you think he is wrong.
That statement was my impression of you. Goose, is the above true? I thought you believed the opposite.
You say "don't judge"(I'm getting to that, BTW) and yet persist to judge him. That's what a hypocrite is!
What are the fruits of this woman's actions, admiral? When people started to say that this was evil and should be punished as God's law states you said "don't judge!" Or are you flippy-flopping again?
I don't read where Jesus used the whips on the people, and since Jesus' life is one of healing and caring, I really doubt that using the whip was ever intended to be placed upon His people. His actions of upseting the tables in the temple were to show something entirely different than what we are discussing here...So, unless you are attempting to draw attention to yourself as the Messiah, or you are attempting to clean out your fathers house of noisy money changers, your evidence is attempting to show..... what, ?????So was Jesus being "unkind" when He dumped tables and whipped people in the temple?
Excuse me??? whether he does this physically or not, does not matter...It is what came from his heart. As Jesus said, for out of the mouth come the issues of the heart. Mat12:34 This is a spiritual issue, of which need to be held accountable....
And everytime this is brought up, without him repenting of it, gets a bit dirtier and dirtier....
I wish that you guys would quit bringing this up...
You are making him look bad,
because I have to review his actions....
I have said that I want to move on,
YOU are the ones who keep bringing this up
If Goose want to end this, he knows what to do.....
It was thier method of dispatching those found guilty of a crime...But what does that have to do with getting an apology from Goose to prove that he is a christian?
What think is wrong? I cut and pasted it in context. The evidence is there for your examination... You have a brain....you decide...
What? You are attacking me without looking at the evidence?
You set yourself up for slander, and a whole host of other things, cirisme......
I don't think that you have any defense for what you just did, cirisme.....
go back and look at the evidence.....and review it before you come in here with your ego....
The point that I was attempting to make was that real Christians don't make comments to the point of wishing for others an ignoble torture and death. [I admit that my communication techniques are not as stellar as I would like, but I did attempt to clarify my position]...And from the context, that is what I am trying to say....
With others attempting to point out that I have judged them, my understanding of that their concept of "judging someone" is to pass judgement upon thier lives....I am not judging thier lives...I am pointing out, rather forcably, that thier posts were less than appropriate for a christian to do...
Christians don't wish torture on anyone. Period. End of statement.
But of course, if you haven't reviewed the thread, how can you know that...?
And aren't you applying a double standard here? You argue the same arguement, using as evidence the words "this woman fruits", but you won't allow Goose's fruits to be examined ?
That's a double standard...

How are you defining "Christians" in this statement? Some of the most heinous acts of torture in history were carried out by "Christians" in the name of God and Church. The Inquisition is a prime example. Suspected witches were thrown into ponds to see if they would float. If they floated, it meant they were a witch and they were summarily killed. If they drowned they were absolved. Very humane. Witches were also suspected of having an invisible third nipple which they used to nurse demons. They were subjected to a pricking torture to discover it. They were stabbed with needles over every millimeter of their bodies. The third nipple was supposedly nerveless, so they "knew" they had found it when they poked somewhere that did not result in a cry, wince, or other expression of pain. After enough stabs, the body would go into shock and stop feeling pain, so they won a lot of "confessions" that way. There were a number of other more grisly means of extracting confessions from "witches" and "heretics." These things were done, of course, with the blessings (and at the behest of) the Church.originally posted by admiral_d

And the Biblical books of Judges and Leviticus would have what to do with Christians torturing anyone?Originally posted by cirisme
You might want to be carefull, I can quote some nasty stuff from Judges and Leviticus.

Eireann,
Don't confuse goose with the truth. He can't handle the truth. That's why he's an unchurched "Christian".
