Romans 14 - Differences among Christians

Looks like Bill has a competitor for looniest person on the forum.

==============

Jr. as you knows I insist on the truth of all matters regardless the subject.

I think it will be found if tested Bro Bill and GBRK have extremely high IQ’s.

I know you don’t want to face that fact but it shows. You are not going to out maneuver their command of subjects at hand and the English Language. GB is almost COC and with some adjustment Bill could be.

==============

Unfortunately high IQ's don't equal common sense. I have to wonder if you evaluation of their "high IQ's" is based on a comparison to youw own. By that standard, an ice cube would appear brilliant.

================

Common sense being no stranger to Bill GBRK or myself:

 jimbo I’m satisfied bills credentials includes genius given what he exhibits as his work and military history. GBRK: I know the level of his work history and given that upon 90 days notice to the FCC can place a amateur space station in orbit around the Earth as allowed by his holding a current “Extra Class Amateur License” [ which I also hold] Issued by the Federal Communications Commission and Genius being required to pass such overwhelming batteries of peer reviewed tests be assured you are addressing  your superiors of intellect.

Unfortunately high IQ's don't equal Wisdom either.  A part of Wisdom is recognizing ones own limitations and not exceeding them.  A fairly good example of someone that has exceeded their own capabilities is when they cease to remain on a subject and proceed to attacking the person rather than the argument.  One, who does this, only reveals their inability to compete in an equal intellectual discussion and demonstrates the shallowness of their own vision of themselves and the world around them.  It presents the temptation to crawl into the same ditch and reduce the discussion to platitudes rather than contributing to the subject through debate and providing one an opportunity not only to tap their own reservoir of knowledge but to test what theories they have and expand ones own knowledge on the subject under consideration. 

 

Intelligence is potentially a part of the measure of information a person has absorbed  through the course of their life.  Wisdom and Common Sense is more an indication of how well a person can utilize what intelligence they have gained and when to put it to use.  Name calling and terse comments about other individuals negates all three (intelligence, Wisdom, and Common Sense) for where even among people that disagree conflicts of information and beliefs are exercised and reveal potentially different exposures the person has had to sources of information.  Name calling and terse comments only reveal the level of bias and prejudice that an individual allows to effect their decision making process. 

 

An example of where bias and prejudice override is where one makes decisions about others not on the other person's capabilities and  abilities but rather based upon your own personal dislike of some position the person allies themselves with.   Hence if the person is a Christian, atheist or Muslim, or Democrat, Republican, Liberal, or Conservative.  A decision to see a person's abilities and capability based upon your personal dislike of their personal choices is NOT an intellectual measure but strictly reflects bias and prejudice which restricts your arguments then to terse derogatory comments rather than substantial debate of issues and puts you at a profound disadvantage for you are seen attacking a person rather than a topic/subject and we all know very little intelligence is needed for that just a working knowledge of elementary playground words which one maxes out at age 9 with.
