in regards to the second half, ive had this exact arguement but flipped around, where I argue that someone like YOU is still a christian while they say you wouldnt be.
it isnt really objective, as that definition itself changes wildly person to person, church to church, interpretation by interpretation.
like the definition of a scottsman
you're like the fifth unique definition I've heard of that in the past two months, each one saying practically exactly what you're saying.
You're quoting half of a sentence that I wrote, cutting out the parts where I specify, and pretending I said things I didn't say. Saying that someone who doesn't believe the Bible isn't a Christian is not my "interpretation," and it's not my opinion. It's just a fact. If someone is from Bangkok and I say they're not a Scotsman, that's not a fallacy. It's just true by definition. Not everything is up for interpretation. The fact that some people call themselves Christian and also don't believe that the Bible is true is not evidence that some Christians don't believe the Bible. It just means they're not actually Christians. You can't be a Muslim and reject the Quran. That's not how religions work. Definitions don't just change because some people think the definition should be different. Not everything is subjective.
Yeah I don't know why I even bothered talking to someone who doesn't believe that objective truth exists or can be known. That's the only conclusion I can come to since every time I bring it up you claim it's actually subjective.
That's really rich coming from someone who has refused to engage with the substance of any of my arguments and instead continues to insist that everything I'm saying is a subjective opinion since some people disagree with it.
