@PukeBuffet@repentantKerry@farmingandJesus@ltzgsl Killing innocent people is wrong, your false indignation isn't going to intimidate me into thinking that's okay. I don't claim to be morally superior, but I can claim that I wouldn't kill my kids.
Your experience sounds very curated and sheltered from reality on the ground in these places. You were a foreigner, with power over people for at least some of your time there; when would you get to see the reality of life there in its rawest forms?
I was never a veteran or an investor or any of that stuff. I was just a middle eastern Christian living in the middle east with a pair of eyes and ears.
@brucefenton@ChristOverNH I've been to 4, and spent extended periods of time there. My family is from a Muslim country, which they escaped from on grounds of religious asylum. I've had family members that were victims of Islamic terrorist attacks.
What's your experience in Islamic countries, Bruce?
@brucefenton@Cher5555555@ChristOverNH I've seen Islam firsthand in a way that I promise you, you never have. I don't know why you carry water for such a backwards, demonic religion but that's on you.
I actually do agree with everything you just said! I'll use a mathematical proof structure just to help convey what my understanding is. If A, then B. If B, then C...so on.
I feel like we agree on some premises, let's call them A-D. When you say Mary is sinless, to me that's step F. Where is the step E that glues these premises together?
@bishopmikey@GeoffreyM351303@DustinAshWrites Totally see where you're coming from, I just don't fully agree. You had me in agreement up until "being sinless". I think the unmerited honor of carrying the Son of God fits the bill for why she is, was, and always will be highly favored
@bishopmikey@GeoffreyM351303@DustinAshWrites Is kecharitomene closer to "full of grace" or "highly favored"? That was my previous point and it still stands. I got the tenses wrong, not the root word itself.
@Cher5555555@brucefenton@ChristOverNH I appreciate you going hard! If you're on signal, would you like to be invited to the NH Belongs to Christ group chat? We're planning an event for next month
