Do parents ever hate their own kids for any reason?

G’morning Soul Brother Number Two!

Then we agree to disagree, yes? This is what discussion boards are for. I have my life and the experiences I’ve gained from it and the beliefs I hold to be true, as you have yours. Why is it when I say something that involves love or the Bible it’s ‘Witnessing,’ but when you disparage it - it’s just… what is it exactly? :rolleyes:

There are billions of Christians (2.1) in the world who hold to a Biblical wordview. Others, like yourself, bear WITNESS to whatever it is they believe in. My viewpoint is no less valid than yours anymore than my opinion is necessarily ‘Witnessing.’ I do enough of that on purpose but not here on this forum. I’m the admin of my own forum which I’ve run for a decade and I’m a veteran missionary. I came here because I found the topics of interest to me. My worldview isn’t likely to change, but what makes you think yours is not ‘Witnessing’? You bear witness to whatever you believe in - everyone does. I have yet to ‘Preach the Word’ here and I know which forum to visit if I feel led to do so. Thus far, I haven’t ‘Witnessed’ there and have no leading that would incline me toward heading over there at the moment.

Cheers - Jesse.

P.S. Re: ‘Sole repository of truth’ - I didn’t say that - you did. The truth is the truth wherever one finds it.
