It's one of the major activities going on here: Christians out-TrueChristian-ing each other. Not so long ago RJHinds accused sonship of coming under satanic influence. It was not out of the ordinary. If you've ever popped your head in to call it "shameful", then show me where. 😕
You try to make them choose their pet topic and then use that topic to make them start pointing fingers at others, to have them declare what is and isn't Christian.

No.
I've seen where all you're really after is to try to drive a wedge between believers.

It's shameful.

I agree its simply an attempt to sow contentiousness and is morally reprehensible.

yes but why would you do that if you watched the video? you have recourse to the same information that I do.
Or maybe he's just lazy and/or low on power, and doesn't want to overtax himself.

Good grief, this must be some of your dreariest "banter" ever.
Here are a couple of questions I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on:
1. Do you think the biological factors contributing to homosexual orientation, such as they are, can be absent in a person who then nevertheless goes on to live his or her life as a homosexual?
2. Presumably you don't think that it can be solely and exclusively environmental factors that determine the sexual orientation of a person who lives his or her life as a homosexual. Would that be right?
robbie declined to discuss them.

Hedging ones bets among people can work because people can be fooled, but if he sincerely thinks God could be fooled by such a ploy then he has no idea who God really is.

Originally posted by lemon limeYour "banter" seems to based on the premise that you have 'serious' things you want to discuss. But there is little evidence of it. Indeed, you take flight from many discussions ~ always in a flurry of clumsy deflections. If you don't want to discuss what determines homosexual behaviour and other related issues pertinent to this topic, one wonders what you are doing on this thread.
Get real.

Does your theology seriously have you thinking that 'not believing in eternal torment/torture' ~ the doctrinal difference of opinion you have with divegeester ~ will result in a follower of Christ (a Christian) punished with eternal torment/torture? Is it your serious and sincere belief, or is this just "banter"?
