The question is not whether I understand enough English or not, but whether you try hard enough to prove (in the logical sense by deduction/implication) the following:
accusing Question of not being a Christian, and invalidating him/her for not being one
Neither you nor WC have, as I stated & your attempt this time wasn't good enough either...you use if in the sense of since e.g
What gives you the 'right'" to correct me "if you are not" a Christian "yourself?"
....you read between the line...start being a bit more precise with what we have on hand.
The preponderance is simply your take, your impression & that he sounds pretty p...ed off is evident & that makes you interpret the "ifs" in your way...don't tell me it's logic, when it's your interpretation...doesn't look very convincing.
I am not saying...as I stated before...that he couldn't have heavy doubts, that you could actually are a Christian, but it cannot be deducted the way you say, cause it's "wishful" thinking on your side.
If you prefer the boolean vocabulary, you have failed to make the implication.
For the if-decision depended sincerely on your reaction/ answer, not in reading between the line, that he had already "given up" hope
Is your "wrath/hurt feeling" making you equally
blind?
It's not under my nose...neither in my nose - remember that Tf-joke - it's in your mind.
I am not really loyal to anyone here, but OT2 seems to be some underdog to me, who is for some strange reasons disliked also by someone, who is professing the same faith...pretty strange/undesired...although it did happen often enough in history...sad
