Semantics.
What Buttigieg said was very much like “practicing Christian” as that term is generally understood...as has been previously linked several times.
No, my "long established argument has been: "...that there’s often a conflict of scriptural interpretation between Christians"(#110) for which I provided numerous examples. .The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I must say, I find the "numerous examples" overwhelming.Originally posted by Tassmoron View PostBy which you mean, presumably, YOUR judgement. The Buttigieg’s of this world obviously think differently.
Merely noting that there’s often a conflict of scriptural interpretation between Christians.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

My claim, supported by several links, was that Buttigieg considers himself a practicing Episcopalian and committed to the essential message of Christianity as he understands it to be.
“he cites deep Episcopal faith in a way that values voters could understand. (He attends Episcopal Cathedral of St. James in South Bend.) “There is just a way to bring it back to the values that are actually discussed the most in scripture”
https://www.indianapolismonthly.com/...tigieg-feature
It is you who limits “practicing Christian” to the Evangelical sense of the word…but this is not how liberal Christians like Buttigieg use it. In fact, many “practicing Christians” do not. This, apparently is sufficient for you to deny that such people are “real” Christians.
“When I got back to South Bend and was looking for a church home, I found in (the Episcopal Cathedral of) St. James this faith community that really takes seriously that it's urban, that it's part of a city. And just very quickly felt drawn to that community. And now for about 10 years it's been my faith home. So, it was important for me to be married in the church. And when Chasten and I go together I think it brings us closer together. It was a mix of faith but also of community that really made it the right place to be. And, of course, the fact that we were welcome”.
https://edition.cnn.com/2019/04/02/o...eck/index.html
It’s pretty clear that Buttigieg views himself as a Christian and an Episcopalian. YOU think he's got it wrong, that's your prerogative but Buttigieg (and the majority of US Christians) obviously disagrees.Last edited by Tassman; 06-04-2019, 11:46 PM.“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.
