Circle time!!!
You never answer a question. You turn and ask. Every time.
I do. Sometimes.
Only after root canals and pulling teeth and exhaustive inquiries.

That's what makes it fun for him.

Yes, I do believe it is in large part the source of your troubles with your faith.

I say this in love my brother!
Why do you infer I have “troubles with my faith “?

So you'll react.

Social justice is a silly construct. Justice can only be really given individually. You cannot blame a whole group for anything, nor can you absolve a whole group of anything.

It’s just like salvation. It’s individual.
Which is sort of why I asked. I never really know how to approach that silly political argument from my point of view because "social justice" in that sense seems ridiculous.

Some People like to say “social justice” to cover for the fact that they don’t wanna do anything. Or they can sit back and watch others do it for them and pretend that its some form of justice is actually not. It’s actually just mob mentality.

The word judge is a popular one in the denominational world. "Hey, you are judging me." Especially if the person getting the accusation is simply reading or quoting God's word.
"Judge not that ye be not judged." -Matt 7:1 From this, we do not have the ability to make unbiased judgment. But, we make judgements all the time. In Matt.7:3 Jesus wants us to make a judgement about a splinter and a log.
"Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment!"- John 7:24 Did Jesus contradict himself? Did he make a mistake in Matthew and then try to correct himself? Uh, no.

In John's gospel, Jesus said that His Father's word was the only truth. (John 17:17) That being true, his word is the ONLY way to make righteous judgment. According to the ONLY divine standard of truth -- the Bible!
God's word is what performs righteous judgment. An example of that would be homosexuality. It's condemned in the Bible. If one says that homosexuality is a sin, the one stating that is not making that judgement. It has already been decided by God.
When using the scripture for salvation, worship, etc. ask, is my beliefs and what I teach according to God's word? Do I have book, chapter and verse for such? Whether you do or not, it is that word that will judge you.
"Why, you are judging me"? You're not. God has already made that judgment and it will judge us in the last day as well. (John 12:48)
When we then stand before God, God will take His word that He gave us, and we will receive a place of comfort or torment. (2 Tim. 4:8)

There is a way to give righteous judgment or you can render unrighteous judgment.
God and His precepts are righteous (Psalms 119:137). ...We have no judgment, unless by and through His word.

Only proves of the confusion that established religion can communicate according to what they want you and you want to believe. You seem to be very susceptible to this Browny.

It would be more likely that the incongruities are just unintentional or intentional mistakes or misquotes based upon or the result the manner in which the Bible was, authored, complied, and then selected.

As all written code, law, or religious writing it reveals our need for God and apart from God’s revelation personally and individually to those who believe the written code, law, and or religious is impotent.

The prideful will judge.

Sorry you don’t believe. As I said, I believe spiritual, and intellectual pride is keeping you from believing this. Your unbelief may be the very thing you must get over before you will hear His voice.

Do you believe you have a conscience?
There is absolutely nothing in the New Testament that tells us we will speak directly to God and he to us. It's not my personal issue. It's what the Bible tells us. Why would I want, my pride so you say, to not speak to God directly if I could? That would be a wonderful blessing. But it's not so. Those are your thoughts. Not God speaking to you.

If what you say is true then it proves that the Bible has errors. You apparently don’t understand scripture as those who actually hear from God in practical experience.

You only care what the Bible says, you apparently don’t care what God Himself says to you in actual experience.

Why? you ask. I believe your intellectual pride prevents you from accepting that your viewpoints and understanding of the importance of religion, in particular the Bible, would have to take second place to God Himself.

Ye of unbelief, may the Holy Spirit heal your unbelief.
