I'm pretty sure we could dig up some of your old posts and find some stuff that you've said, just as bad or worse than what others have said about Ham.

It's been a long time since any Ham bashing has gone on here.
Perhaps.

So you are justifying sin by pointing to my own?

Can we say tu quoque?

I'm just as put out by the fact that you all continue to defend your vitriol. The proper response is to recognize the sin, acknowledge it, and move forward. Not defend it. :shakehead:

And that, brothers and sisters, is the kind of foolishness you get people who insist on denying biblical theism. A good illustration of any as the length people will go to avoid acknowledging basic truths.

Are you justifying Ken Ham's sins by pointing out others? :shakehead:
1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

It just seems kinda odd that you've gone on the offensive on this thread, to point out all the attacks, when nobody has attacked him on this thread.

And no, I'm not trying to justify anyone's sin. To be fair, I'm pretty harsh on all false teachers/divisive Christians. Ham is no exception.
Speaking for myself only, I've pretty much stopped even posting about Ham, with maybe a couple of posts here and there. I think we all have people that get under our skin, and we say things we shouldn't say.

And like I said before, the attacks on Ham have subsided quite a bit. So, it's really odd you brought it up again.

Speaking of Ham... lately I've been cooking up ham and eggs rather than bacon and eggs.

Not that I have anything against ham, but I think I really prefer bacon and eggs. ;)

Especially if the ham and eggs are green.

There is a lot of saturated fat in both bacon and ham. Saturated fat is bad for your arteries. Maybe you should try something off-the-wall. My wife made turkey ''bacon'' today and it was quite good.

Not me. I'm a model poster, always polite, always with a kind word for everybody and my humility glows like a warm, comforting beacon in a sea of vileness.

Seriously though roo meat is really tasty.

Nobody hates Ken Ham.. :roll:

According to the Bible, we are to stand against principalities and powers. Not people, especially against other Christians..

Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

But when someone says that the only "Biblical" view is Y.E.C., it's going to pull many away from the credibility of the Bible. Sadly..
The heart cannot rejoice in what the mind rejects as false - Galileo

We learn from history that we do not learn from history - Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Hegel

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things. -Philippians 4:8

I don't think anyone's really defending any sin. Perhaps the use of the word "haters" was a mistake...it does seem a bit too definitive about the posters and ofcourse it is not something that anyone will appreciate they be associated too. Perhaps that is the reaction you are seeing, Jac.
It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if

I also don't agree with most of the things that are said to various people on this board this includes yourself and everyone else.

Most posts interacting with atheists, are rude, condescending and arrogant, and do not display the characteristics of Christ.

We are all guilty of being rude and arrogant most of the time, towards each other and towards people not associated with this board, seems to be a case of throwing stones in glass houses to me.
I think this was well said and perhaps an overall tone of tolerance by all would be appreciated by all.

LET'S ALL HUG AND FORGIVE EACH OTHER. WE ARE ALL BROTHERS, AS JAC ALSO SAID "LETS MOVE ON!"
