> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Svt4Him \* > A Christian is a disciple of Jesus. Can a disciple be defined? Sure it can. Can it be defined such that all interested parties (i.e. Christians and knowledgeable non-believers) agree AND such that it is a useful definition? > [@](#): > > Now God will not send someone to hell that doesn’t want to go there? That’s a great thought. Just like our civil law, if someone doesn’t want to go to jail, the judge then just lets them free. Your analogy is still flawed, unless you would care to argue that God damns people to Hell despite their desire to be with Him. And if that’s the case, you can have your God and I’ll take a being with compassion regardless of faults of His/Her/Its/Their followers:mad: > [@](#): > > Every religion has extra-Biblical books is also not true. Name a few, then:) > [@](#): > > And there are few religions that promote those extra-Biblical books above the Bible, the Book of Mormon being one of them. Cite?🙂 > [@](#): > > As for the different views of who Jesus was, one says He was an angel, one says He’s Lucifer’s brother. Feel free to do a bit of research if you don’t believe me. No. These are _your_ assertions, not mine or anyone else’s. Your claim, you do the legwork. Trying to say “Here, I’m saying this, you go find out about it” does not fly here. > [@](#): > > It’s not terribly hard, go to the Church of Jesus Christ or the Watchtower Society and search it yourself, since it doesn’t matter what I anyway. Why post here at all if you believe your posts are irrelevant? > [@](#): > > Now this is a point I still am at a loss. Do I think the guy who wanted to hit me was saying he wanted to hit me for what I did or did not say? What the heck? You guys are more able to tell me what he was saying that I was even though I was there? Come on. That’s just silly, IMO. Not only is it silly, it’s not what was being said at all. You are either deliberately misrepresenting what is being said or you are confused to a rather Gordian degree. I asked if you were able to tell with reasonable certainty that he was specifically addressing you in re: his comment about you saying something about sexuality. And your answer to **Homebrew** “I never said the guy who wanted to punch me was a Christian.” … well, was he? If he was simply a random gay guy, then this has no bearing re: gay christians vs. straight Christians. Oh, **Poly** … damnit, in the roughly 8 pages of posts I’ve had in this thread, you _would_ catch my slip-up:D ---

Well, they’d be fabulous cages, of course. Tastefully decorated. And they’d be well taken care of. Nobody pampers their pets like a gay man… 😃 ---

Nobody pampers their pets like a gay man… 😃 \*\* As a straight guy, I’m going to have to protest this. If you’re going to make us bathe regularly and dress nicely, that’ll be the end of us! The sheer fabulousity of the cages would ruin our fragile little minds. We’ll have to form a PETA (PETER?) to protect ourselves. ---
