Chastisement without correction is just cruelty.
You have learned well from your God.

Now you are being stupid.
Go away fool.
Do what your Bible tells you to do. Sit down, shut up and only say what your husband tells you is ok to say.

great way to recruit followers..
to answer directly..by asking them to follow you and not god..
i was referring to yur judgement of ppl not being 'worthy' to follow you..
projection..
its because of that,that no one should follow any ONE man.
do you believe you have the exact truth from god?
and where is your modesty?
lets not talk of arrogance...
(do you think yourself worthy of being followed?)

The way you deal with a situation like this Lori is to forgive the one who has hurt you. When a Christian forgives they place vengance into the hands of God. And the vengance of God is far more horrendous then anything we could ever inflict upon the one who has done wrong to us.
Romans 12:17-21
17Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. 20Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.
So forgive, The only way they can avoide the wrath of God then is to trully accept the Messiah Jesus. And if they do that then they will be your eternal brother/sistter in Jesus. You cannot lose.

Thanks for the good laugh.
What a baffoon.
You quote no evil for evil then say to forgive so that God can do a greater evil.
Deluded evil idiot.
Know thyself fool.
To stupid to even know when you are being evil.
Typical Christian.

The behavior is so...arrogant. The use of emotionalism and the appeals to it. It is disturbing to see science to used as leverage for persecution and oppression. Science seems benign untill you observe the people practicing it. Which sounds just a problematic as religion which also seems benign until the obvious hypocrisy of some are revealed.
Both religion and science have their practical purposes.
But they practitioners have the predilection of mixing their uses.
he didn't hurt me, and i wasn't talking about retaliation. i was referring to my desires according to my beliefs and pretty much stating the obvious outcome.
It seems to me that the problem with this thread is that the OP begins with a faulty premiss: that Theists posses a "moral sense".
It's never been my experience in interacting with any Theist that they possess any such thing at all. Rather, what I have observed is that they are in possession of a Stipulative Ethical 'sense': they are trained in the ways of their particular code of conduct, as prescribed by their faith.

what is the difference between morals and ethics?
nobody is perfect..
them there is fighting words..lol :bugeye:
the term 'moral' is subjective..
how does that apply to me?
i don't follow the churches idea of what is right and what is wrong,i let god guide me..sometimes the church does NOT know what the right thing to do is, it is VERY subjective to the situation AND how i translate/interpret it..
sometimes what is best is not alway right..
true most users here use a definition of a word they are familiar with(not just theist), this does not mean they are using it inappropriately..(doesn't mean they are either..) if they are using the word in context to what they have been taught it means,then i don't think it would qualify for inappropriate (see user def for theory) of course this does not speak to the users who try to use a word they are unfamiliar with or does it speak to the user that has been corrected..
plus..how many words in the english language are susceptible to a stipulative definition?
much less any translated text..
I see it as follows:
One's ethics are usually derived from the society in which they live.
One's morals never change, regardless of society.
So an ethical person may know it is wrong to cheat on their partner - but still cheat. I.e. they know what is right and wrong in their society.
But a moral person would never cheat on their partner, as it is wrong to them, regardless of whether it was seen as right or wrong in their society.
If you only ever live in one societal type then your ethics and morals will most likely appear to be very similar.
I'm sure other people will have different views of the differences between ethics and morals, but this is how I have also seen it.
its the difference between doing right when no-one is looking, or just doing right because someone is watching..
Justice is not evil. Wrath is not evil when one is diserving of it. Wrath is Justice.

Sweet. Yes it can almost be seen as an automatic outcome. Only changed by a change of heart towards the Gospel Message.

Incorrect. The term has a precise denotation. It is used however, subjectively.
You say you let god guide you.
Feel free to explain how it is that you are guided.
Regardless, what is clear is that you are being given a code.
Actually, all words are.
