Ukraine Crisis

[Arthur Brain]

Not at all, but it sure leads one to think so.

I don't know them as you seem to.

It is now.
The under lining cause for it isn't "treasured".

You don't know them at all but you're the one judging them for not having the "initiative" to up sticks and move before the shelling started.

 

[Hoping]

Their "lust" for what exactly? To live as you and I do, in our own homes? Quite the pompous judge of these people aren't you?

I couldn't tell you how the other side lives or thinks.
If the things of this world didn't matter more to them than their lives, don't you think they would have left?

 

[Arthur Brain]

Always claiming the "high ground"... so cute.

Pffft, hardly. I'm just pointing out the obvious irrationality in reading it literally is all. Hey, maybe you would ask for a drop of water for your tongue while at a friends house when thirsty or whatever...

 

[Hoping]

Of course He didn't. Yet you effectively do as per comparison with the plight of Ukrainians that you seem to glibly describe as their own fault.

Jesus wasn't teaching about personal responsibility.
He was teaching about charity, and love, and recompense.

 

[Arthur Brain]

Don't be so hard on yourself.
If there was something you really needed an answer for , please present the question...or the whole post, again.

If you were interested in honest discussion you'd have already addressed the post in question instead of feeble deflection. Not the first time and won't be the last.

So where's yours then?

Priorities, sir.

You've provided no argument as to why it's "irrational" to read it that way. You love to make claims without support.

 

[Hoping]

I'm not seeing what you want an answer to?

I used to be a "wrench", and did good work.

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound that saved a wrench like me.

We are saved through Grace, not good works

So true, but if we are on the right road to our final judgement, the good works will be undeniable.

The "sufferers" of Ukraine have the same opportunities to choose which road they will walk on as we do.
I pray for them, but also know they have had months to get out of the situation their lust and/or fear has put them in.

"lust?"

Your 'christianity' is morally bankrupt.

Doser hasn't gotten to the "good works" part yet. He's still stuck on that part about being a wretch.

Do you have another reason to stay in a place of mortal danger...besides insanity?

 

[Right Divider]

And?

 

[Idolater]

As are we all

Not the way I meant it we're not. That was just for @Hoping. Most people feel a debt of gratitude for American servicemen who have died protecting our Constitution.

You're a troll. Not gonna waste any more time on your sick ideas.

I wish you could have come up with any other reason than the ones I listed for staying in danger.

That is a good one, but can't one have hope in a safe place too?
