No, I"m not. But I'm righteous in God's eyes. Are you?

To what extent is your moral interpretation of the Bible superior... to say... a liberation theologist?

Its a equally valid interpretation of the Bible backed by scripture that contradicts virtually everything you post on here...

I'm just curious what gives you the moral high ground to interpret scripture for all from on high...

Well, usually I'm sitting down in front of my 'puter monitor with both feet touching the ground, so I'm never elevated very high. But your snideness aside, my interpretation would generally be superior to any unbeliever's because I have the Holy Spirit indwelling me, and my interpretation of any given passage would harmonize with the whole revealed counsel of God. There's much to be said for consistency, don't you agree?

Okay so even if I grant you all of this...

What makes your interpretation of scripture superior to say a liberation theologist? There are fundamental differences between their interpretation of the Bible and yours... yet you proselytize on here that your interpretation is superior from where do you draw that conclusion?

Now look where this thread is going. Started about Box and religion, then delved into red meat, then Obama shoving phallic symbols in his mouth, and now we're back to the original topic.

You didn't do a good job hijacking your own thread Box.

Moral to this saga is: I make a bad crook.

Where have you been on this thread? Haven't you realized by now you are the losing end big time? Your sanctimonious snobbish mean spirited crap makes you an easy target to ridicule. Now that you have had your head handed to you, you babble about the ethics of what to eat. Obvious isn't it?

I asked you a few threads back about perfection.

I don't remember in what context you asked this. Refresh my memory. Most of your posts are so dense with biblical passages it is painful to review. So in brief, why must I be morally perfect? Should every one who posted on this thread be also morally perfect?

I just got done telling you. Did you not catch the implications? A liberation theologian's (the grammar demons must be out enforce tonight ), or any other unorthodox views of the bible would inevitably conflict with some other portion of God's word. Such contradictions would speak directly to an incorrect interpretation.

There is plenty of scripture to support liberation theology. Explain to me how liberation theology is in conflict with part of God's word?

Simple. Boxcar believes the NT and Jesus never mentioned love for your fellow man. Tolerance, compassion and empathy are part of a new-fangled misinterpretation fostered upon true Christians be evil "liberal Christian Theologians" If I didn't know any better I would describe box as having been a Christian until Satan reached all the way up boxes tush, grabbed box by the inside of his head and turned box inside out.

Thus the crabby anti-Christian messgae he speaks of

Be specific. I don't feel like writing a treatise refuting LT. Give me a specific tenet, please. I'll be happy to oblige.

And even then, I'd have the bible's message straight and you still wouldn't. Know why? Because the bible says that nothing whatsoever could ever separate me from the love of God, including the Hcaps of this world.

So Mr Perfect in this world and the next, where is your explanation of how come I gotta be perfect just like you? Isn't one Mr Perfect on this board enough?

Matt 5:48
48 "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
NASB

So, are you?

Are you?

Oh wait. judging by your pitiful answers on this thread, I guess not. I never claimed any such thing. That's your territory.

You still have not told me why you ask.

Phil 3:9
9 and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,
NASB

Oh wait. judging by your pitiful answers on this thread, I guess not. I never claimed any such thing. That's your territory.

But neither have you claimed you aren't. And judging by your disdain for the biblical doctrine of the total depravity of man, which includes man's evil nature, I'm thinking maybe you rose above your human nature. Maybe you're a leopard who has changed his spots. Maybe you're something no unbeliever is. So, are you perfect? According to scripture, God requires perfection and holiness, without which no one will see God (Heb 12:14). It's commanded. It's required. It's mandatory.

You still have not told me why you ask.

See above. But why do hesitate to answer a straightforward question?

I guess you are mot paying attention. I just said ...

All hail his holiness, Mr. Perfect. I guess your humility is only exceeded by your perfection.

Sound the holy trumpets
