It is a judgment – a subjective opinion – on someone else's faith and religious knowledge and understanding.

God has no problem with correcting professing Christians when they are clearly wrong.

Matthew 18:15-17

Galatians 6:1

Titus 3:10-11

2 Thessalonians 3:15

2 John 1:7-11

You do it quite regularly, actually, with your comments about 'you and you are going to hell'.

They are if they are not born again. That is not my judgement, but God's Word.

Within the terms of your religion, it is not for you to judge the nature of another's relationship with god. Only your god has the right to do that

.

See above.

Indeed, one might also point out Christ's teaching about not being seen carrying out your devotions – frankly, most of what you do on this forum is a version of that: 'Look at me – I'm the one with a relationship with Jesus; I'm the one who's right and you're all wrong and going to hell. Aren't I so completely the most wonderfully religious person you've ever seen?'

I am not religious.

It's in Matthew somewhere – I think Jesus describes people like you as hypocrites.

Biblically speaking, a hypocrite is a person who shows off but does not have a true relationship with God. I do have that relationship.

It's not evangelism. It's showing off. And judgmentalism. Pure and simple.

You are working for Satan. Don't tempt me.

John 1:3

"For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him."

Colossians 1:16

In other words, according to the Bible itself, death and disease were created by god.

God's righteous and just reaction to rebellion.

Which, since he created everything (according to the Bible), then "rebellion" was also created by him – unless the Bible was telling porkies, of course ...

I do love this.

It's not the first time you've posted this particular bit of dribbling drivel.

I suspect it's because you realise someone else actually does have a clue about the bunk you're wittering on about and oh, you don't like that at all, do you?

You will no doubt recall that even Satan could recite and pervert Scripture.

I have nothing more to say to you.

Oh dear. You really don't like being challenged, do you?

Still, that means you get out of answering that last awkward little question, doesn't it?

If your god created everything, then he created rebellion too.

And you're an intellectual coward as well as everything else.
