    You're engaging in back-and-forth with @whereu, an open atheist who mocks Scripture and distorts truth, yet you bond with him in slandering someone who simply stands on the Word of God. What fellowship has light with darkness (2 Corinthians 6:14)? The answer is none.
    You should rather post "someone who stands by his interpretation of the word of God.

    Slander
    Do I slander people for standing by their interpretation of the Word of God? You take disagreement with your interpretation as slander.
    Examples:
    I posted that the creation and the Global Flood narratives in Genesis could not be taken literally for the reasons given. If you want to regard that as slandering, then you have a severe problem. What is wrong with taking this narrative figuratively? Oh, yes, the Great Bible Guru @The Disciple…says it is wrong.

    I pointed out to you that the celebration of Christ's birth is recorded in the Bible and not forbidden in scripture, and therefore encouraged.
    If you want to regard that as slandering, then you have a severe problem.

    Christianity has spread because Christians have been willing to engage and bond with people of a different faith or with no faith at all, which includes questioning the Christian faith. I suggest to you that if all Christians had your attitude, Christianity would never have got out of the starting blocks.
    Of course, you will substantiate your position with quotes from scripture and ignore alternative views; after all, they are not your ideas.

    All interpretations are the interpreter's ideas. If posters should disclose this, then so should you.

    Why do you slander a person for bonding with an atheist and expressing opinions on HC? Instead of taking personal affront at criticisms, I suggest that you learn from them and at least take them as opportunities to better explain your position.

    You criticise posters with just about every opening gambit in your posts, so why do you complain when the favour is returned?

    Remember that HC is an open forum and not a private exchange, so every post that you submit is to everybody who decides to read it.
    This post is for everybody who decides to read it and not just to you.
