We just covered that. History. It's her method.
I like that.
They mostly are though and they, along with the Eastern Orthodox, share that commonality in foundation. A person who doesn't is starting another religion.
Let me reduce it then. Jesus Christ is God incarnate, not a man conferred with some divine power or seal. To believe other than this is to be a heretic within the orthodox Christian church. And that is the full understanding of every major part of the Protestant, Catholic and Eastern Orthodox tradition brought to bear.
I did you the same editing favor. Look, I tell myself what I told you because it's the objective truth. You don't find or demonstrate fault in that by repeating your earlier declaration. To find fault you'd have to say something like:
You say X is so. Then you say B is so. X and B cannot both be so because..." thereafter illustrating the error in logic.
Or, "You say there is moral truth and you believe it. And you say there is a legal truth and you recognize it. Both those can't be true because...." supra.
But of course they can be true and are. Abortion is the law. I recognize that it is without compromising my faith or agreeing that it should be and without having the least confusion over the morality of the issue. It simply is the law. And I've set out the only reasonable course I feel will undo that law over time.
And I can recognize that homosexuals marrying are a legal necessity given the principle of our laws without agreeing to the morality of the proposition.
Agreed. But our agreement doesn't control the law we live under in this compact.
Recognizing what is doesn't violate the laws of God. Now if I argued that abortion or homosexual marriage weren't sin and were, instead, good, you'd have a point.
Simply untrue, which is why you offer a subjective valuation instead of pointing out words, phrases and points that actually do that.
That's the silliest thing you've ever said. We don't create our own morality as Christians but we blessed well do make statements about it. You do all the time, directly or inferentially.
lain: Truth is immaterial to a Christian? To be informed and honest with our information is immaterial? You made a claim against my profession. I called you on it, asked you for the root of the accusation, the proof and you wave hand like that? Just say what's observably true then, that you made it up out of your own assumption and bias. Everyone gets something wrong now and then. That's okay. It's not okay to attempt to wrap it in the appearance of virtue.
God didn't speak the judgement. You did. And sister, that wasn't scripture.
So I noted I know, personally, any number of lawyers whose practices are testimony to their faith.
I just wanted to leave that up for effect.
No, dingus, that's how we value it, which isn't the same thing.
I didn't say we should compromise.
Who said you should compromise? It wasn't me. You should probably try reading what I did say. Maybe answering that.
No and I answered you but you omitted considering it, which isn't surprising really.
