I ended up getting trounced in arguments as I tried to fight for the conservative position.

I've seen most all your posts since you've arrived and you've been SO bad at arguing your case and I've watched you get trounced repeatedly, that naturally, I just assumed you were faking it.

If you're trying to get me riled up...it worked. Let's throw down right here. I just can't decide whether to be Ezra or Nehemiah.:

BTW, it's interesting to me how you guys always claim cons. can't defend themselves and they get beat over and over on this forum. Funny thing is, when I looked over some of the archived posts, cons. used to eat you guys for breakfast lunch and dinner. Joey B. tore you all up on more than one occasion. Bro. Badejo was KILLED on AMF and he comes back claiming that no one could refute his arguments. Bunch of liberal hogwash. Go give your brothers a holy kiss and celebate your liberal freedom.

I wasn't trying to get you riled up, I was just telling the truth. The cons have mostly left this forum because they can't theologically compete. I've watched it over and over again. I can name a handful of AFFers that none of you cons ever have a chance against. It almost makes me feel sorry for you.

No one CAN refute Jason's arguments....with New Testament verses, anyway. And there's no way I'd call him a liberal.

Anyway Ezra, anytime you like....you poor thing.

No one can refute Jason's arguments? Joey B. tore him up on AMF. I'm telling you, most cons. find this forum to be a waste of time. That's why their not on here wasting their time. I guess I'm just too cons. even for the people on AMF. I look at it differently, but I do think I'm probably wasting my time as well

Why do they find it a waste of time?

There are some pretty smart fellers on this forum. Then there's average Joe's like myself. Then there's some people that are smart in different ways (for you, NOW)

Share the AMF thread where Jason got eaten for lunch. So far, his arguments concerning tithing have been pretty well-stated.

The problem with most of these discussions on AFF, is that twenty libs gang up on one con. and then walk away pumping their fists. "Oh yeah baby, we tore him to shreds." When in reality, they just got tired of trying to answer thirty questions at a time.

BTW, I f you're on amf, just look for Jason and select "view all threads started by this poster". It's the one on tithing.

There used to be threads where it was one-on-one debate. I recall reading one with Jason as a matter of fact before.

Ganging up on here has gone both ways though. Depends who's logged on. I'd say a majority on AFF that actively participate wouldn't be a majority OP though. I'll give you that. But the OP group just leaves angry.

BTW, not on AMF.

I consider you to be one of the "smart fellers" on this forum. You've got me whooped ('cept when I'm right and you're wrong!). Seriously, you were REALLY good in the "Cross" thread.

I do not consider myself to be a theologian, even an amateur one, nor a debater. There aren't many who could match me on bible knowledge for everyday living and practical Christian living. I totally have a pastor's heart. But when it comes to deep knowledge or debating knowledge or dissecting Turtullian, I'm a 3 on a 10 scale.

Well, thank you. I have a long ways to go to knowing anything though.

I had similar negative feelings about people on this forum for awhile too. Of course I've changed my mind and am surprised at the level of intelligence of many of the posters. Even those who rarely provide answers -- asking questions is a sign of intelligence for sure.

You don't do to bad yourself!

If they intend on issuing convincing arguments that will validate their point of view, it is indeed a waste of their time to be here. The precepts on which you build your principles, creeds, rules, regulations, and culture on are laughable and cannot stand the test of a halfway sharp fifth grader.

I don't know who Joey B. is, sorry. But like I said, tithing cannot be solidified with NT scripture. I believe in giving and I believe the NT heart will give more than 10%. The heart always responds better than the law. But you can't make tithing an absolute out of the NT.
