If anything, they were to BigJohn and those who think like him. "Why should we?" "We are so much better" (20+% WOW!) "We give so much" etc.

The thread is open for anyone who wishes to read it honestly.

I hope that satisfies your harmonious questions, sorry I have to laugh at you using the words "needlessly divisive" coming from you, I am laughing ... HO HO HO.

janielee,

there really is no reason for you to start a personal attack. Why would you write "If anything, they were to BigJohn and those who think like him"?
Come on, grow up. It sounds like you are now calling me a hypocrite if I should donate. To me, it sounds like you are digging a large hole.....

And then you also claimed "The thread is open for anyone who wishes to read it honestly." which I think most people can.

I agree with you.

and it has even got personal.

NO PROBLEM

Ahhh I see what you did there, John, as usual twisting peoples' words to make yourself look good.

To be honest, this all started with your techniques (as so aptly observed by Shivani Devi many moons ago) - trying to do a one man upmanship in the beginning. It looked like your attempt to insult "Gnostics" failed, and I really hope that you read the teachings, as to your question of why you shouldn't give aid (your question to which I helped you respond by quoting scriptures)

For the record, I have never seen you as representing good Christians, so my observations on this thread never extended to Christianity as a religion nor group nor collective, and that is my heart and decision

In Joy,

JL

You are full of deceit.

My laughter here has no ability to respond. Interesting though that you can't respond to the points raised in response to your question, and instead choose a completely different, diversionary point. What does that have to do with anything? LOL

Be well.

Great minds think alike

LOL

OK Altair, whatever you say, lol I know you only liked me when I called you a God anyway, lol

Thank you sincerely for the laughs, I needed that

OK Please back on topic everyone - the topic is the first post, not all this stuff about Christians beating Buddhists and Gnostics.

LOL

janielee,

It is no surprise that you blame me for what you wrote.

Is this another attempt at a personal attack?
I have no idea what you are trying to say.

I suspect you are upset...........
