You said, 'Jesus wants better than that.'
I replied, that I suspect, 'trying is all he requires.'
Didn't we just have an entire thread about humility? Why do you judge so harshly a Christian who acknowledges his weakness and need for God to make him stronger?
Are you really that daft? (Rhetorical).
It is not my place to judge.
Dive started a thread on humility, but he rarely acts humble, on this forum. And HE admitted that.
We could obviously say the same about me, but Dive seemed to be okay with a few questions thrown his way.

In this thread, do you feel that I have judged Dive?
If yes, explain.
I just think it's something for you to reflect on because I think you telling yourself "It is not my place to judge" is borderline tragic.
If I were you I would go for six months without giving even a whiff of judging people before you made such a claim about how you see yourself and what you think your 'place' is or isn't.
Originally posted by FMFYou should seriously take your own advice. You're the one who ditched Jesus, and now refers to Him as a superstitious god figure.

Your position and attitude are much worse than mine. I wonder sometimes how Dive doesn't get aggravated with your cold mocking of his beliefs.
Originally posted by chaney3I though I made myself clear; I'm happy to admit my shortcomings, but I'm not going to discuss them with a person who is an abusive, alcoholic who has "always considered them self a Christian" but at the same time "has never been a Christian".
Well, you've been a Christian for 30 years, and you describe yourself as a 'weak Christian'.
Why? What are you doing wrong?
Do you have an attitude of..."eh, I'm doin the best I can".
Because reading some of the scripture posted on this forum, it seems like Jesus wants better than that, especially after 30 years of trying.
Originally posted by chaney3You questioning me about my Christianity is a little like a neighbour asking why your windows are dirty.

Originally posted by chaney3I think that you questioning someone for "ditching Jesus" is one of the most extraordinary positions I've seen on this forum in the 9 years I've been here.

Originally posted by divegeesterAs usual, you deflect and evade by resorting back to ME. It's a neat trick to avoid answering the question.

Why are you a weak Christian after 30 years of experience?
Is your 'out' that you're just human, and doing the best you can? Is that really a satisfactory stance?
Originally posted by divegeesterSo it's okay to point out my shortcomings, but yours remain secret. Hypocrite.
I though I made myself clear; I'm happy to admit my shortcomings, but I'm not going to discuss them with a person who is an abusive, alcoholic who has "always considered them self a Christian" but at the same time "has never been a Christian".
You need to be challenged, and your pal FMF isn't gonna do it.
