Meh, regardless of human *interpretation*(or denominations) - God(or Love) stays the same. If one is truly looking for love(or God) - they can easily find him, he does not make himself hard to find, and graciously offers his *love* to everyone who is willing to accept it.

Actually - I agree with you. But at the same time, it is still necessary for us to correct(not *judge*) our peers. If you love your brother - you will correct him. And if he loves you, he will accept this correction with love(love that's not expressed in a sexually speaking way of course).

no, its not really the place of a good christian to correct anyone. that would be an act of forcing change. perhaps to respectably suggest correction, but no further than that.

Meh - as long as one doesn't attach punishment to the *correction* - they are showing the individual they've corrected respect(and are not judging). The intentions of the heart of the correcter and the correctee(sp?) are also important. Sometimes the truth(or the correct answer may hurt the individual who has the wrong(incorrect one - but in the end, its the most loving answer one should give to their brother(again - this love is expressed in a non-sexual way).

you keep it very vague. do you feel that 'correcting' should be politely suggested or forcably imposed??

Fixed - and included is the answer to your question. You still have several more mintues to edit your post by the way...just a polite suggestion..He..He..

😂 That was clever.

ok, no nuthugging. thats homosexuality

anyway, usagi, you still fail to answer the question. i speak in the scope of law, and not superficial misspelling on teh intranetz

I thought it was stupid. He did not answer the question, because the subject was not grammar.

He did answer the question. It took me a little while to see it too.

He did not, he dodged.

Triple read it then, and maybe you'll see it. Grammar was not the real purpose of his post.

ahh, so we have a cheerleader 🙄

defy logic just to defend your hero, why dont ya?

Every now and again it happens - but when it does happen, you know it's gonna be good..He..He..

a foolish person gives a foolish answer, but a true fool avoids the question

Ok, it sounds like some clarification is needed.
The answer was clearly 'politely suggest'. Using your grammar as an example, he politely suggested that you correct it and showed you how without forcibly imposing you into it. It was pretty obvious.

It might have been just a tiny, TINY bit clever were it not for the fact that usagi's first correction was wrong. Shakya's use of 'can' was correct.

But even if totally correct, it would have far more smug than clever, and in repetition in answering PVS, usagi is apparently answering that correction should be forced, from which, as Christian history shows, it is not many steps until you reach the Inquisition.

nellinator, you seem under the strange impression that no-one saw what usagi was doing. The misconception is yours- in fact everyone saw it, they just had well-deserved contempt for it.
