The following are examples of ad hominem arguments which violate the no ad hominem rule that TruthTalk has:
Glenn wrote: You quoted Scripture with the same intent Satan quoted it. To make your point of your theology. In other words, as I understand you, you hide behind "proof texting". I used to do this all time. The Devil quotes Scripture. But he quotes it to misuse it. Growing pains? I took years to get out of your kind of box thinking. With all due respect, you don't know what you are talking about. ------------ Glenn wrote: I don't see any contradictions in what I said. You sound like a Pharisee. Jesus condemned the Pharisees. ------------ Glenn wrote: Marlin, liars go to hell. I am calling you a liar. ... You seem to be uneducated. ... I beg you to repent of your lies. You use Scripture just like Satan used Scripture. ------------ Glenn wrote: You didn't come clean on this verse. You misused the verse out of context to defend your works/salvation. You are slick by asking a question and not making a statement, but I can read between the lines. ------------ Glenn wrote: Again, you quote Scripture just like Satan. ------------ Glenn wrote: Again, David, you act like the Church of Christ. I think you should start attending one. You might like it. The Church of Christ attacks the messenger when they can't refute the message. You have attacked the messenger, and you have not refuted salvation by grace through faith, plus nothing, minus nothing. ------------ Glenn wrote: There is no need to show you any Bible. You explain away the Bible with humanistic reasoning. Your mind is made up so why confuse you with the truth? You're blinded because of easy believism. ... Please, that is not worth answering. This leads me to doubt your sincerity when you bring up this. Surely, you know better, unless it is part of your blindness. There are definitely two different Davidms. ------------ Glenn wrote: David, you are as blinded when it comes to this as any person I have ever met. You can't see beyond easy believism to ANYTHING. Because of this you are taken in (deceived) by a works salvation. ------------ Now some of these posts might be allowable if further information is given to teach and instruct the rest of us in the spirit of gentleness and meekness. However, just hurling names at people, flaming people, is not constructive. I believe that the doctrine of Christ admonishes us to think more highly of one another, and to be patient and gentle with each other, and instructing each other according to holiness. We ought not curse one another, but bless one another, and do good toward one another. As we are tempted here to enter into strife, let us instead turn the other way. Let us turn the other cheek, and minister goodness. I pray for the TruthTalk members to consider these things carefully and in prayer, that we might bring about goodness and holiness, and perhaps recover those who have fallen into the snare of the devil. Following are some passages of Scripture for your meditation as we go through this time of trial on TruthTalk. Jam 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Jam 3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Jam 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Jam 3:11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Jam 3:12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. Jam 3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. Jam 3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. Jam 3:15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. Jam 3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. Jam 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. Jam 3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. 2Ti 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do engender strifes. 2Ti 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 2Ti 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 2Ti 2:26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. Tit 3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, Tit 3:2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men. Tit 3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. Tit 3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared, Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Tit 3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior; Tit 3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Tit 3:8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. Tit 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. Tit 3:10 A man that is a heretic after the first and second admonition reject; Tit 3:11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. Gal 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Gal 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Gal 6:3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. Peace be with you.
