Chuck or Chuckie... My name is Nathan but people call me Nate.... that is NOT a sign of disrespect on their part. You gals are reading too much into my post and accuse me of this and that and it offends me greatly. There’s a big difference in “Nate” as it’s a shortening of a Nathan. However to put an “ie” on someone’s name is usually done when they are children or to demean someone by inferring they’re juvenile in your eyes. ** You gals are pathetic, I don't see Chuck is complaining it. I don't believe Chuck is his real name either.

Once again the irony !!! Can someone please explain what "irony" means to nathan !!! Perhaps, “I’m thankful I’m not like other men for Im a two by two?” *** The irony goes both ways you know. You hear on TMB " I am VERY thankful I am NOT a 2x2 for I am a Christian from the 40,000 plus Protestant denominations."

Again I like that you are accepting of those that worship other gods, but in your example of Buddhists, they have been around a lot longer than the Christian God concept. And, Buddhists don't worship gods. For me, you don't need to believe in a God to be a decent human being. It's a little arrogant imo for you to say Buddhists are just worshiping your Christian God, they just don't know it. It's like Nathan saying all 2x2's believe in the trinity because they pray to Jesus in meetings and take the emblems. I am not a follower of your god by default. I don't believe he exists, but I do believe it's important to be loving, kind, compassionate and try to accept people where they are at. Do I always achieve that? No. But I don't look to a God to help me either. How is it arrogant when I applied the same line of thinking to the christian God? My christian God is different to Nathans christian God because he thinks God only saves 2x2's where I believe otherwise. Do you see my point?. It is man putting boundaries around what God is, and even though you dont believe a God exists you still apply boundaries? why? you have a certain image of God even though he does not exist to you by default. Why? You dont believe in God but you do believe it is important to be loving ect ect, to me that is what God is!. He is the authority that draws us or lays on our hearts what is right and loving. Man rejects it because he wants to be his own authority and doesnt need God to provide for him. He doesn't need a God so why should he even believe in a God or why should a God even exist. Or man makes up his own God to fit his needs. God to me is like Parents Having a child. The parent knows what the child is going to be like generally. Lie, rebelious, selfish ect ect but yet the Parent still chooses to have them. Why?. Successful parent child relationships are a result of the kid recognizing the authority of the parent and the true love the parent has for their own child. This does not mean the child has to sit cowering before the parent in obedience, but is the recognition of authority and love that is layed on their hearts. This recognition may take a lifetime with Gods children or may not at all.l just like our children. Would you agree lack of recognition of authority in anything we do never leads to a good outcome?. Now to some this comes from a Christian God, Buddha, others Allah, others their own being. But eventually I believe people will recognize a higher authority and either accept it or reject it. I obviously believe this moral argument is laid on our hearts. You believe its evolution?. So you substitute the word God for the word love? God is love not an entity? If we are talking about the God of the Bible though, he clearly says there are other gods and don't worship them. He is a jealous god also, he says so. I know for a fact that people don't need a belief in a god to do loving things, to be wonderful human beings. It rather concerns me that there are people that feel they need a god to be loving. Basically what we observe is a world where there are good people and their are not so good people with good behaviors and not so good behaviors, and these people are combined by those who believe in a God and those who don't. So if there are some of each in each group, why do we need a god?

It’s bothered me as well! It seems to indicate he thinks of him less then adult. Chuck or Chuckie... My name is Nathan but people call me Nate.... that is NOT a sign of disrespect on their part. You gals are reading too much into my post and accuse me of this and that and it offends me greatly. Chuckie is a kids name. I'm sorry I offended you Nathan, it was not my intention. It just seemed to me to be disrespectful for you to take an adult name and change it to a little kids name. If you meant no harm, thank you. And, thank you for calling him Chuck in your most recent posts.

Calling grown women gals is also a way of minimising their worth and gives us more power over them.
More likely for a woman to be called a girl than a man, a boy. Women are called b... - lady dogs, what are men called?

So it's ok to call a woman a dog, is it?
Isn't that confirming what others say about the Bible and its treatment of women?
Anyone who challenges how women are spoken to are nitpickers, are they. Men often call women nags when they want to put her down too.

Email me Jesus answers to me, Ok. Remember, don't get him upset or he kicks you out of heaven for nitpicking.

Jesus did so, ask Him when you see Him face to face. I gave you my explanation about Chuckie but you, STR keep on harping/picking about it... that is very annoying.

Don't ask me, I didn't call any woman a dog! Jesus did so, ask Him when you see Him face to face. Question: "Why did Jesus call the Canaanite woman a dog?"
Answer: In Matthew 15:21–28, Jesus encounters a Canaanite (Syrophoenician) woman who begs Him to cure her daughter. Jesus initially refuses her request by saying, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs” (Matthew 15:26). Taken out of context, and especially in English, it’s easy to mistake this for an insult. In the flow of the story, however, it’s clear Jesus is creating a metaphor meant to explain the priorities of His ministry. He is also teaching an important lesson to His disciples.
Jews in Jesus’ day sometimes referred to Gentiles as “dogs.” In Greek, this word is kuon, meaning “wild cur” (Matthew 7:6; Luke 16:21; Philippians 3:2). Non-Jews were considered so unspiritual that even being in their presence could make a person ceremonially unclean (John 18:28). Much of Jesus’ ministry, however, involved turning expectations and prejudices on their heads (Matthew 11:19; John 4:9–10). According to Matthew’s narrative, Jesus left Israel and went into Tyre and Sidon, which was Gentile territory (Matthew 15:21). When the Canaanite woman approached and repeatedly asked for healing, the disciples were annoyed and asked Jesus to send her away (Matthew 15:23).
At this point, Jesus explained His current ministry in a way that both the woman and the watching disciples could understand. At that time, His duty was to the people of Israel, not to the Gentiles (Matthew 15:24). Recklessly taking His attention from Israel, in violation of His mission, would be like a father taking food from his children in order to throw it to their pets (Matthews 15:26). The exact word Jesus used here, in Greek, was kunarion, meaning “small dog” or “pet dog.” This is a completely different word from the term kuon, used to refer to unspiritual people or to an “unclean” animal.
Jesus frequently tested people to prove their intentions, often through response questions or challenges (see John 4:16–18; and 4:50–53). His response to the Canaanite woman is similar. In testing her, Jesus declined her request and explained that she had no legitimate expectation of His help. The woman, however, lived out the principle Jesus Himself taught in the parable of the persistent widow (Luke 18:1–8). Her response proved that she understood fully what Jesus was saying, yet had enough conviction to ask anyway (Matthew 15:27). Jesus acknowledged her faith—calling it “great”—and granted her request (Matthew 15:28).
So, according to both the context and language involved, Jesus wasn’t referring to the Canaanite woman as a “dog,” either directly or indirectly. He wasn’t using an epithet or racial slur but making a point about the priorities He’d been given by God. He was also testing the faith of the woman and teaching an important lesson to His disciples. www.gotquestions.org/Canaanite-woman-dog.html

You're right, Wally. The use of the word "gal" says far more about the person saying it that the lady herself. I suspect that for most women it is a turn-off rather than a charming compliment.

But don't let it go to your head! Hahaha... I agree too. Depends on where you're from, obiviously. In my neck of the woods, using the word "gal" is not a reference to a female child. "What a gal!"

Dictionary meaning for gal. Informal North American for girl or young woman.
Slang for girl. Originated as Cockney version of girl.
Some places used for girl or woman. More specifically young woman.
"What a gal" would be Cockney version /accent of "what a girl".
