As for Sondland's testimony, are you referring to his original testimony, or the one where he changed his story after being pressured by Schiff and then added disclaimers like "I presumed" and "It was my impression"?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

I did some searching and found a great source to determine who is an isn’t evil."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View Postyour ability to twist the scriptures to your own ends is growing. So mockery of the wicked is not the same as the mockery of the innocent. Not sure the specific mockery you wish to apply that scripture to, but my comments about Trump's mockery applies to the public humiliation of the wife of a political opponent, and no, that is not the same as Elijah mocking false prophets, and yes, what Trump did was evil.

That makes him a jerk, not evil.Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

I don't see anything but a blanket condemnation of mocking here, Jim. I provided a counter-example showing that mocking is not necessarily evil. You could have clarified your earlier statement without resorting to serious condemnation first. Things like this are why I am no longer interested in dialogue with you. There is no possibility of irenic discussion with one who consistently leaps to the worst possible interpretation of what is said.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostThat would be because you didn't include the text of previous posts in the series which establishes that the mockery I am talking about is the mockery of the appearance of a Political opponents wife. I said doing that was evil. And it is.
You made a mistake, a serious one, accusing me of calling a prophet of God evil. It was your mistake, not mine. And it's my fault, not your own?

Am I incorrect in my recollection that Trump's wife was publicly mocked for her shoes when visited a hurricane ravaged area?
Was that ok?

I see you're doubling down on the serious condemnation bit, even after seeing my clarification. You may have the last word.Enter the Church and wash away your sins.
