Don't be absurd, believing in universal truth doesn't mean you belong to a cult. "I am sitting at my computer right now and typing this message" is a universal truth. Believing it doesn't mean I belong to a cult.

No I'm not. You haven't explained what "universally true" means in terms of Christianity.

Ah so you think the reason why I don't agree with you on everything is because I was psychologically abused.

I have disagreed - sometimes strenuously so ~ with more people on these forums than the number of days you have been a member of RHP and it's done me (or them) no harm whatsoever. Don't overestimate the traction or import of your own antics. I am asking not about you disagreeing with me but about your obvious interpersonal and intellectual problems which are evident here in the way you conduct yourself. At a moment of weakness - or perhaps high emotion - you once seemed to cite the cult thing as the reason/excuse for your behaviour. Is it not the excuse you are currently inclined to use?

Nobody knows what you believe, except that believe your belief is to be "universally true" and everyone who disagrees with you is therefore by definition "universally wrong". Your a shallow cultist troll. And by the way, an asshat of the highest order. 🙂

Give me an example of me supposedly not being able "to stand it" when I encounter posters whose beliefs are different from mine. It sounds like a peculiarly naive thing for you to toss out there when you are among adults and you're trying to be snippy. I "can't seem to stand it when someone challenges [my] beliefs"? Which posts of mine do you have in mind?

The reason you don't agree with me is because we have markedly different beliefs.

That aside, would you describe yourself as "psychologically abused" by the cult you said you finally managed to "escape" from, but only after (allegedly) 24 years?

When Jesus died on the cross, did he only do it for you or for everyone?

For me individually, and for everyone - individually.

God's love is an individual act, to each of us.

Did Jesus know you, as an individual, would come into existence?

I think your post may have lost everyone with its univeral "individual" bland unequivocal niceness.

don't feel bad, sometimes i have thoughts in my head that seem so clear at the moment. Then later i can't figure out what i was getting at.

had to re-read that. Yes, is my answer

Jesus says in the scripture, "Love God with your whole heart, love God with your whole soul, love God with your whole mind and with all your strength." I think it also is in reverse, that God loves each of us with His whole being.

This is what i was thinking about with the individual love of Jesus on the cross. He died for each of us, individually.

I've noticed that about your thoughts also.

Because unlike you I find it universally unacceptable to murder children.

Carry on.

So does that include God?

Because I'm a Christian.
Why aren't you in cult anymore? You presumable though your cult was "universally true" at some point.

So you are a Christian because you are a Christian not because you believe Christianity is true?
