      I’m not sure if you’ve ever read the gospels or not, but the people who sought Jesus’s help generally didn’t start out by offending him. The ones who did do that were always the scribes and the Pharisees, and the types of answers they received in return I suppose could be described in that way.

        FWIW, I used to compete in “Bible Quiz” on my church’s team and made it to regionals before the elders realized they were training a group of teens to be able to argue their points and win. Besides, Cheezus ain’t no Joshua. Stay in your lane, ya blue box biproduct. 🤌🏽

          Well, then I’m sure you must be familiar with Matthew 12:33-37, as well as 5:21-26, so why don’t you stop being obtuse and tell me straight up what beef you have with me?

          Because I can tell you from my own experience that these words are definitely true, and you will end up paying a price for your insolence.

              Romans 14:11, my friend. Whether you’ll come to realize it standing in church or lying in a ditch, or on a hospital bed breathing your last, there’s ultimately no escape from it. You’ll see.

                  I honestly don’t know either because I still haven’t been able to make sense of their initial comment.

                  Perhaps we’ve butted heads before in the past but I’ve long ago given up holding grudges because they just end up weighing you down. Glad you’re feeling entertained, however. Username checks out I guess :)
