Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?

So is this the way you are choosing to ignore my rebuttals because of my use of colours ? :P And yes, I am the only hypocrite here. Somebody has to be the resident hypocrite. :lol: I'm a hypocrite, an adulterer, inconsistent, deceptive, living in sin, will not take advice, listening to other spirit...

Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?

Sudsy, you could do so much better by using quotes instead of color. Makes replying to you a real mess.

Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?

I didn't say that you are one with this perspective if you read it carefully. What you said If I am called 'liberal' due to the perspective of another believer that I am not set apart from the world as they think I should be, to me, this is a holier-than-thou attitude and does not fit with the scri...

Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?

I would prefer I not be judged by other believers as to how sanctified/set apart I am from non-believers and given a label of being liberal' or 'conservative'. If I am called 'liberal' due to the perspective of another believer that I am not set apart from the world as they think I should be, to me...

Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?

"Progressive" is the opposite of "conservative." Conservativism is a strong defence against change based on a belief that what we have currently is the best option, or at least good enough, and certainly better than the potential of any efforts to change. Progressivism is the be...

My son had made that was about as tall as my husband, and we now have to figure out how to find the arrow that is in the n...
