Are all Church Teachings Malleable?

[Rivendale]

I think seeing each other is relatively easy. That is the issue. Living a life infusing good feelings and sporadic hits on bizarre sometimes abusive doctrines can jade a person's view on how one lives their life. Do some introspection on the glass that is dark when in reality it is crystal clear.

A little judgmental are we?

This guy has it all figured out!

Judgemental? No. Christianity has taken top spot for that honor. https://www.barna.com/research/a-new-ge ... ristianity

Even among young Christians, many of the negative images generated significant traction. Half of young churchgoers said they perceive Christianity to be judgmental, hypocritical, and too political. One-third said it was old-fashioned and out of touch with reality.

By the way, if you’re not a guy and you’re a gal, my apologies.

Probably for the same reason he thought Marcus was. Discernment failure again.

He assumes everyone is a guy because he clearly doesn't like conversing with women. It’s a problem for him. When it becomes clear it’s a woman that has directed a post in his direction he turns into “that man at Church” who thinks he knows everything and who everyone suspects has been verbally and maybe even physically abusing his long-suffering wife for years.

IHQ, I’m going to throw you under the bus with Mr. Wang Chung and Morley. Disgusting.

Actually, the question has run through my mind in the last couple of days as to what kind of relationship some of the men on this board have with their spouses. Assuming they are married to women. How do they treat their wives? Why do I ask that? Well, look at what Mr. Wang said about someone else’s mother. Dirty and disgusting. Look at what Morley said in regards to a sexual act to a fellow board member who is male. How does he look at his spouse? Look at the current poster I am responding to who is talking about wife abuse and accusing someone else who he disagrees with on religious topics of doing the same.

What does he think in regards to women being ‘queens’ in the home and deserving upmost respect and yes, even reverence?

Let’s do better. You’re better than that, aren’t you?

Can you remember…what it was like?

When I saw the name Rivendale I thought this person was a male.

Sheesh.

What kind of people are you anyway? I’m trying to give you the benefit of a doubt. But it’s becoming more difficult to do so.

Nice job Morley trying to fly under the radar with your ‘cute’ little story. That says something about you, not me.

Grow up, men. Be ye men! Don’t succumb to the profane and vulgar.

We can all do better.

Did my hypothetical analogy hit a nerve?

Why are you asking about how men treat their wives? Why aren’t you asking how posters treat their significant others? Why is it men that you want to ask the question of, why do they have to be married, and why do they have to be married to a woman? You seem stuck in a 1950’s misogynistic world view.

Why do I ask that? Well, look at what Mr. Wang said about someone else’s mother. Dirty and disgusting. Look at what Morley said in regards to a sexual act to a fellow board member who is male.

I accused you of no such thing. But it’s obviously struck a nerve…

What does he think in regards to women being ‘queens’ in the home and deserving upmost respect and yes, even reverence?

I think that people in a relationship should be on an equal footing and treat each other properly.

Let’s do better. You’re better than that, aren’t you?

I’m unconvinced you are. But let’s see how you treat posters on this board.

Can you remember…what it was like?

I can remember how you treated grindael.

When I saw the name Rivendale I thought this person was a male.

Why?

We can all do better.

I don’t believe you can.

Interesting and revealing response.

After this interchange my confidence level in your trustworthiness has diminished another notch or two.

Do you always tell the truth? Or is the ‘truth’ what you make it and relative to the situation? Your recent post causes me to reevaluate whether or not you’re coming from a ‘good place’.

Too bad we can’t meet in person. As it is, I really don’t know what kind of person you are. And again, I question your trustworthiness to tell the truth in a fashion that you know that you are accountable for doing so. If you think you’re not accountable for doing so…it’s party time!

Or can be. That’s why I question your integrity.

That you would insinuate what you did is borderline sicko.

Say what you will.

Aw bless.

...That you would insinuate what you did is borderline sicko...

Mg missed that the poster was turning back on him the exact same technique he frequently uses instead of staying on topic, and that he used on that same poster just recently.

We can assume, then, that MG 2.0 frequently and repeatedly considers himself a borderline sicko.

Bless his tiny little heart.

IHQ is a confirmed nonbeliever. It is incumbent on each individual to do their OWN research and investigation. Do not rely on the words of an apostate.

Even if he comes across as a nice guy. (he may well be…but we don’t know that either, do we?)

…said the poster who is now saying he wants people to be nicer to him.



On a more serious note. People asked MG 2.0 to treat grindael better, but he completely ignored those requests. He deserves all the poor treatment he gets as far as I’m concerned.

Here we go again. I think it’s time to now resurrect all those conversations to prove your point. Otherwise we’re going on innuendo. Oh, yeah, I called him a loser one time. I’ve expressed my sorrow for having lost my cool in that one instance. But boy, could he dish it out. And he did. We sure did go the rounds. I told him what I thought about his expressions and one sided presentations concerning the founding prophet. There was a war of words. Not arguing that.

Gee whiz, he was continually bad mouthing the prophet of the restoration. What would you expect a believer to do?

I don’t think I ever expressed vulgar thoughts or words his way though.

I felt bad (and expressed as much) along with everyone else when he passed away. No one should have to die an early death.

Be that as it may, that is water under the bridge as far as I’m concerned. Whether or not others feel the same way and can move on is another thing.
