Let your light shine or Keep it on the DL?

Did you have anything to add to the discussion or are you just gonna armchair qb this thing?

No, its more fun to just watch you flail around in this thread.

Awwww but your posts are awesome.

Thanks for covering for me, comrades, and I apologize to TDK for offending him. I was hoping my self-deprecatory references would reduce any perceived slight but an apparent fail on my part.

tkd, you worry too much about silly stuff.

I always like your posts. I just didn't think it deserved the label "eloquent" given your other stuff. I see I misread your intent with the sophomore bit.

I only shoot for "coherent."

Which is usually a few steps above the rest of us.

Too late. You've been outed as the pompous, arrogant, condescending asshole that you always were but no one realized it until tkd pointed it out.

No doubt. I remember when I used to post stuff about gospel questions and contradictions. DDD finally pulled me aside and told me that I was taking everything way too seriously.

Coherent is the gold standard around here. Anything else than coherent is the norm.

Ok you're the second person to bring up intent so I think there may be something to this. I think it's obvious intent matters TOO, but from what you seemed to just say is that in the Gospel of Jesus Christ ONLY intent matters. What you do doesn't matter in God's eyes, even if it's wrong, if your intent was to do good. Is that what you're saying? I took a philosophy class at BYU and we once discussed this concept, although not in this biblical context. Maybe someone can help me: as I recall one philosopher argued intent meant nothing, that only action mattered, and the other philosopher argued just the opposite. Our modern legal system seems to take both into account, but I'm not sure, based on what you just said, that Jesus' gospel does. Or does it?

Are you sure you weren't discussing this in the biblical sense?

Because this whole thing reminds me of that one parable of the two sons who were asked to go work in the field. One said he wasn't going to do it, but then he went and worked. The other said he would go, only then he didn't. Which of the sons was in the right?

Somewhere in there you can frame some new discussion about intent versus action, right?

Being coherent is overrated. Heck, I know an incoherent guy who got 62 million votes and will become President of the United States.

TKD, Santos is correct. STFU.
