When you can start saying this to both sides of the aisle, then I'll take your words more seriously.

I'm defending my beliefs. I suppose peace won't happen until you stop attacking us, or simply come with us in good faith rather than be condescending. Nope. But we can recognize where each side is coming from, and respectfully agree to disagree. Where did I claim that you wished to harm...

Yes, we all see through a glass darkly. In the end, we are to be charitable and peacemakers. We can agree to disagree and leave it to God. Nope. I'm not game playing. That's your perception of me. I consider truth a neutral ground neither of us can claim, but simply observe. That's not true...

True. I haven't seen this from you at all, and I can improve on it myself. It's sometimes challenging in a heated discussion. What measure ye mete.. Says the one who declared himself "the arbiter of truth", and contrarian on everything I say. Wow! Just...wow!

This is another red herring. The discussion isn't about who God is, but who/what "gods" are. We all agree that though there many be those who we serve with real or perceived authority, we are essentially serving God. Ephesians 6: 5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according...

Childish one-up-ness No. Here you're just illustrating your lack of ability to see things a different way. Monotheism can be abstractified that multiple "gods" can be extensions and manifestations of the singular God. It's technically how Buddhism sees the "oneness" of everything. It's rather...

Can you be more constructive? Or are you going to be just contrarian? Your saying "gods" don't exist, because they're not real, or they don't exist, and if anyone believes they do, their polytheist. It's really quite simple. I'm saying the term "gods", a term used in the Bible refers to people...

Ok. Let's look at some of those principles and see how well you've complied: Here's 7 according to lifeway.com: 1. Identify the kind of literature your text is for insight into its meaning. 2. Consider the context of the passage for a better understanding of its meaning. 3. Read the text for...

Yes. We're all mortal. We all have limited perspectives. We can both turn to God to find truth, we can share our messages with each other to be edified and corrected as needed, but in the end be peacemakers as children of God are supposed to be.

Good for you. I'm happy for you. You don't need my approval, and I'm not judging you. I trust you live by the dictates of your own conscience, and it's between you and God. No further discussion is required.

No, you've reading your dogma into the text. You seemingly can't distinguish the difference. Not at all. I'm referencing the history of the Bible was formed, and the development of so-called "hermeneutical principle that most Christians learn early on". We don't need to go into the meta of the...

Theo, having called in the mob, which was swiftly batted down, is now simply looking to dispute anything that moves and distract further in childish arguments, completely running away from the discussion how the term "gods" is used in the Bible. No, Theo, I'm not going back to square one with...

This is the Mormonism board where you're supposed to be proving your argument with the Bible alone, not the dogma of traditional Christianity passed tainted by Greek Hellenism. Bonnie obsservation # 4 Pretend we have not answered their questions or dealt with their points, to make it appear...

Doh! Theo's lost the debate, he's out of ammo! He starts quoting and responding to himself and calls in the mob to add chaos and derail the discussion even further.

We all see through a glass darkly. What measure ye mete.... But somehow, as a limited mortal you have complete certainty and everyone that disagrees with you is wrong? Because of the Book of Mormon, and gain an answer for yourself by consulting God, not men. I would disparage anyone to believe...

I wasn't responding to you. Yes. This is why the Protestant posters are simply annoying. They have no authority, yet conceded as all get out. Agreed. That's why the Book of Mormon is such a blessing. It removes the middlemen, like you, to try and stand in the way between men and God. Yes...

I have nothing to add here more to what I've already posted. It's like debating the existence of zero, or "Who's on first, What's on second" it's almost humorous at this point. But for those that want to understand how I recognize the term "gods", and why the standard of monotheism is a...

How am I wrong? You responded exactly how I predicted you would. That's why a simple Google search and copy/paste is all your worthy of. Edit FYI - I'm here to discuss difference to inspire thoughts, and identify truth. You're clearly here just to be obstinate - like the John Cleese character...

This is a false analogy as the Book of Deuteronomy and other Old Testament preaching wasn't addressed as abstract universal truths like the book of Proverbs teaching concepts on wisdom. The Torah is 'the Law', given by the law givers. Thus, a more appropriate question is "When the US...

I don't have the desire to go the rounds and detail extensive research when you get the response you don't want to hear, and you'll just dismiss it as "worthless rhetoric". So, I'm going the lazy route and finding an explanation via Google search that summarizes what I have been telling you, and...
