Pot calling the kettle black?

[JerryNumbers]

I'm going to slow way down on my posting, least for a while, especially under many topics. To many people who go after other people, do not show respect for the other persons opinion, no one seems to be able to express their opinion without someone seemly getting very hot under the collar.

As for me, Whatever your opinion is, I respect it, but if I feel it is wrong I will state that it is wrong and more than likely express my opinion. But that does not mean I'm trying to force my opinion on anyone. Why do we have to get so hot when we know other may have a different opinion and know well they're not trying to force it on us.

I might add, there may well be some on here even if Jesus and His apostles were posting to them, they would get hot under the collar.

Even under this topic, "Pot calling the kettle black?", its happening.

May God bless this board and every member of it. See y'all later.

I hear ya, Jerry#'s. This scripture definetly applies to me. Proverbs 21:23...Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. KJV 1611 AV.

[His by Grace]

Only difference for me is the last sentence. I've heard people try to witness to homosexual's and referr to them as sodomite's all the way. If you were witnesing to a adulter, a murderer etc. Would you actually continue referring to them as such while you gave the Gospel message to them or would you begin referring to them by name once the sin was made clear?? Otherwise your post stated where I stand. No qualifiers needed. I believe His Word is true and to be aided by all the day's eternal!!! His by Grace

Here's the prOBlem, and most people don't get it. We, (you and I) don't get to define words, how they are used or where they may go from what we have used in the past. There are some words that define themselves by their basic structure.

Example: You had to add a qualifier to your terminology... you had to add the word "theological" to "liberal" to get your point across. Instead of just saying, unscriptural or unbiblical. See because MOST everyone of those "theological liberals" are considered right-wing conservatives by the nation and world at large. many people on here would consider John Piper a "liberal" or John MacArthur a liberal, or Chuck Swindoll, or any number of people. And it's really about trying to put people in a box, because a box is easier to fight than falsehood. It usually has to do with building a straw man argument instead of addressing the issue that we may believe they are falsely teaching.

If you want to call them someone something call them what you are saying they are, call the wolves in sheeps clothing. Call them blind leaders of the blind, call them false teachers. It's harder because then we have to back up our opinion of what they are wrong on. If we stick to biblical terminology it helps eliminate some of the natural evolution of words.

Example: Doug Paggit is a false teacher since he teaches that hell is not a literal place and that no one goes there, he also teaches that there isn't a place called heaven. (along with a multitude of other heresies).

Classically speaking our founding fathers were liberals, but the word has twisted and changed.


It's like using the word "gay" or "fag" to describe homosexuals. Homosexual describes the lifestyle precisely... in general it's a word that the homosexual community doesn't like.
