Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLanePost by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDServant to the humblest person in the universe,
You know, Andrew, when you ASSume, you make as ass out of yourself, and
you are assuming about me with your faulty conclusions. I would have
thought a Ph.D./MD was far more intelligent than to make faulty
ASSumptions so quickly and easily.
Thanks to God, when I discern something, there is no assumption.
You still ASSume, andy.
When I see something I don't assume it is there.
Yep, you do, because your ability to discern is faulty. Next time in San
Diego, let me know and I'll be happy to introduce you to some reality,
of course, assuming that you are brave enough to encounter your
ASSumptions face-to-face.
Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLaneYour posting clearly shows you haven't a clue.
Of course, on judgment day, you can plead ignorance and see how far that
gets you. BTW, your discernment is way off too. You lack the necessary
balance to fairly discern and that is evident in your psotings.
Discernment is not judgment.
Where did I say it was? Are you being deliberately obtuse?
Right. That you cannot recognize it is your problem. Convenient
scapegoating, andy, blame it on everyone else.
Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLanePost by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLanePity. Your tools for
discernment are very faulty and you made an incorrect ASSumption.
There are no assumptions in His Word.
However, you still are making ASSumptions, andy, and that you are
intellectually incapable of discerning that is your personal problem.
Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLaneWe are discussing your ASSumptions about other's behavior and beliefs.
The light of His Word allows the discernment.
In your case, I think you are blind to the truth because you cannot
recognize it when it is sitting right in front of you on your screen.
You are turning people off big time.
I wonder how many people in these ngs would say that you have brought
them to Christianity and how many would say that you are driving them
away. Of course, you will say that if you bring one, then it has been
fruitful, no matter how many you lose, right?
Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLanePost by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDSimilarly, *your* parable of vinegar and honey betrays who you serve.
Would suggest you read Christ's parable of the vineyard someday.
Post by JimLaneTry emulating your Lord and be humble,
It remains my choice to continue to serve Him and others.
Yep, but humble you ain't
Your judgment.
Fact, or do we need to re-introduce you to the dictionary once again,
andy. In every case when you have argued the definition of a word, you
have been wrong and that is the dictionary talking. Of course, if you
have andy's private definitions that you follow and they run counter to
commonly accepted definitions, it is no wonder you cannot communicate
effectively.
Humble you are not - arguing your cause when the effect is deleterious
to your goal does not fit under even the loosest definition of "humble."
You like to pretend that you are, but you are not.
I have challenged you to be humble in your rhetoric here. Let's see if
you can or if all you want to do is play semantic games. So far, all we
have is the latter.
Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLaneand that flys in the face of what your Lord
wants you to be doesn't it.
Are you trying to ask a question?
Of course it was a question with a missing question mark. Got an answer,
or do you want to play more semantic games? Come to think of it, that's
not a very Christian thing to do, is it? Playing semantic games?
My, my, andy, do you have clay feet?
Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLaneSo much for your practicing what you preach.
God's purpose for me here is to inform rather than to preach.
You do not do either. You think you do, but you lack adequate skills to
communicate and as you automatically reject everything coming your way
(and the evidence of that is in all your replies, as I discern it and
most everyone else here) all you are doing is dissemination and that, in
your cases, amounts to preaching.
You do not inform, you alienate. Many have told you so, but you cannot
hear or see the truth of that and blindly continue alienating those you
might otherwise reach.
In essence, you are doing the devil's work by driving these people
further away than they were. Well done, preacher.
Facts, andy, based on your words.
Here's a challenge for you, try running all your stuff by someone you
respect and see whether or not they think your manner is humble, that
your manner of "informing" is humble. Do you have the courage to do
that? Hmmmm?
See above.
Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLaneYour words and lack of humbleness say it.
More judgment.
Nope, dictionary definitions, andy. Why don't you go argue your semantic
games with the Oxford.
Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLaneDo I need to refer you to
dictionary.com again?
Would suggest you use it to look up judgment.
Well, I'd be more successful than you as you have failed all three of
your definitional challenges. BTW, if what you are doing is discerning,
then I am discerning. However, I have discerned the words according to
their actual meanings, not some misguided attempt to rationalize my
behavior as you have. See all your posts regarding "etiquette" for a
start. Totally misused by anyone's definition (except andy little
private definitions, I suppose).
Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLaneYou did not undersatnd the word "etiquette"
More than you know how to spell.
Does not change the fact, andy, you didn't know what the word meant and
bandied it about without a clue. Are you now attacking my typos and
spelling? Talk about being judgmental if you think that offsets your
ignorance of common word definitions and misusing them to badger someone
over his correct definition.
Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLaneand
you do not understand this word either. It is marked with defferential
and submissive behavior not being in-your-face as you have demonstrated
hee time and again.
Really would suggest you learn how to use a spell checker.
Are you being judgmental based on spelling, andy? What's next, do you
want to be the spelling police? I write on the fly and rarely ever
correct what I post on Usenet. If you don;t get the gist of what I have
written, just ask. Nice that you are now attacking my spelling and
typos. You have stooped down to a new low, andy. Way to go!
Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLaneI'd call you a hypocrit but that would be false
praise. Your continual assertations and confrontational behavior are not
humbleness.
It remains my choice to serve God in whatever capacity He would have me.
Yep, it has been all spelled out as you have said. So, because of your
behavior here, I take it you're preordained mission is to drive people
in these newsgroups away from Christ and toward the devil. Well, even
God needs opposition to validate what he stands for and you're helping
very well indeed.
Semantic games once again. Pity. You are sounding like a broken record.
But hey, show me where the Bible says God's missionaries are supposed to
turn off people and drive them toward Satan. I really like to see where
it rationalizes your effect in these newsgroups.
Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLaneNo, you have said it with your posts right here for God and all to read.
I have made no judgment.
Again, would suggest you look up the word judgment.
Post by JimLaneGet a grip doc, you are blowing it and turning off more than on.
Folks have free will.
But you are the cause, andy, the cause. See above for where I asked you
to show us all where it says you are supposed to drive people away.
Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDGod's purpose for me here is to make sure folks are making an informed choice
for that is how He will judge them (and you).
However that maybe, andy, your behavior is contributing to a negative
reaction. Show me where it says that you are supposed to be driving
people away from Christ.
Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLaneThat is
a statement of fact.
That is not what I discern.
As I said, you are playing word games, andy, and that should be beneath
you, but is not. So much for that.
Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLaneSo, in effect, you are doing the opposite of what
you are supposed to do.
See above.
Post by JimLaneYou are doing the devil's work.
Christ has been accused of the same thing so thanks for the compliment.
Post by JimLaneAnd you will be
judged on that at the appropriate time.
We will all be judged. My Lord and Savior will save me. Who will save you ?
For driving people away? Interesting. Christ was accused. Your words
stand testimony to the fact.
Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLaneYour intent is good, your effect
is to the opposite.
Those who hide from what I am writing can not hide from my prayers :-)
No one is hiding, andy. Do you need to believe that to give your life
purpose? Why do you hide from the fact that what you are doing is
deleterious to your mission?
Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLaneAnd now that that has been drawn clearly enough so
any fifth grader can understand it and directly to your attention, your
plea that you were trying to do the Lord's work will not be of any
value, because you will continue to violate that which you are supposed
to do.
Your judgment and not His.
Run it by someone you trust and respect, andy, and see whether or not
they think you are having a deleterious effect. Make sure they see the
reaction you garner from the ngs. Oh yes, I think most of us would
appreciate that person saying so directly here.
Post by Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhDPost by JimLaneNow, let's see if you can really, REALLY, be humble and not just mouth
the words like the sinner who goes to church one day to . . .
Christ has forgiven my sins... who will forgive yours?
Same Guy, andy, and I'll get my break for trying to correct your
misguided effect.
