And a city and an online community are very very similar
you cannot just live in a delusional bubble that "the internet does not exist so nothing you do on it counts as real life or the real life comparison to what you are doing online in social context"
Jesus expects you to interact with the virtual world in the same way that you are expected to interact with the physical world
^^^^^^^^^^^^
^there is nothing weird or gnostic about this, sorry but your agreement is a horrible failure against logic and reason Turncoat
bump, you have failed
the comparison is "a community of people"
The passage says 'City', prior to that mentioning homes within that city.
The context is right there.
how disappointing that you cannot even understand this
I am starting to lose a lot of respect for you Turncoat
I mean this always happens with you when people don't agree with you, hence your conflict between seeing other Christians who don't do it like you do.
I still respect your tenacity, even if you only seem to respect people who match up with your opinions.
there is nothing weird or gnostic about making this comparison, it would be weirder and more gnostic to not make this comparison actually
Save for how you claim to be getting your information I'm not calling these passages Gnostic. Rather, I'm saying that in spite of your very rampant Gnosticism that you have been received here, rather than booted out, and that you don't seem to appreciate that your posting that'd be liable to get you banned elsewhere for spam or whatever isn't the case here.
I'd dare to say this forum is the pearls and you are the swine over how thankless you are and how quickly you are to lash out against it, but lucky for you I think pigs look good in pearls:
"the internet isn't real life so anything goes hurr durr" (<-- This is your current argument from my perspective)
I didn't say that, I just said the forum's not a city nor a town.
