I'm telling you it is not an insult. It is an undeniable FACT of the past so get over it. You can not do anything about it. You have no clue what agape love is so don't presume to tell me what it is and how to show it.

You don't get to decide what other people think, no matter how much you want to do so.

Your continued insults are offensive. And you are the guy who continues to harp on about Agape Love while throwing those insults.

I've said it before, but you are the Frank Burns of this forum. You continue to go on and on about your religiosity, telling others how to live, while doing the exact opposite. You want to show Agape Love, then do it. Otherwise, at this point you're just a clanging cymbal.

1 Cor 13:1 "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal."

1. You don't get to decide what other people think, no matter how much you want to do so. Gee, who said that? Oh yes...it was you.

2. Did it ever occur to you that what you say in this forum is offensive to some other people in the forum. (Remember, you don't get to decide what other people think, no matter how much you want to do so).

3. You just insulted Mystic.

Neither do you. At no point have I attempted to control what anyone here thinks. So please stop suggesting otherwise. It's arrogant and rude.

Yup. I sure have. Have you?

OK? I'll stop telling him that attacking others is rude, obnoxious and arrogant when he stops doing it.

Of course I don't but neither do you. There are certain truths about the past that are indisputable. You can choose to reject them and consider them insults. That does not make them insults. An insult is a deliberate intent to disparage someone. The intent to disparage makes it an insult, NOT the one mistakenly perceiving a mere statement of fact as an insult.

You are also free to take offense at whatever you feel offended by but don't misidentify the source of your offense. When it is a fact of the past, be offended by the past NOT the one who points it out.

I'm not the guy that claims the way to know God is agape love. That's you. And it's hypocritical to continue to do what you know offends when you claim to be about agape love.

Teacher: Johnny, stop doing that to Dave.
Johnny: He started it.

Perfect example of a christian principle...apparently.

Agape love is the goal we ALL should strive for. I make no claim to have achieved it, thankfully Jesus did it perfectly for us. But it has nothing to do with simply acknowledging the reality of our ancestors' primitive ignorance and barbarity. What they did to Jesus alone is proof of that.

In the past four days, there have been many posts--and exactly ONE referred to Bishop Spong. It appears no one is interested in the topic any longer.
