Vestal’s anger surprising

Tit for Tat = Shawn Vestal’s own newspaper, “stump” counterattack against Steve Massey. Ironically, blaming Massey for self-righteous, bullying, Vestal exhibited anger, more than argued principles based on clear definitions. Sadness and surprise met my heart and eyes.

Shawn labeled the Bible, a book, period. He misrepresented God on two counts.

One, God is love for everyone as he himself defines his character and by definition determines rules and rights. Thus, Shawn and Steve are both loved. Webster’s Dictionary notes rights are legal and moral matters. Thus, rights are complicated, arguable, based on world views, principles, tradition, and more.

Two, truth is the reality we often shy away from and misuse, but being born male and female is the original existence of everyone. Unarguable. True. Gender changes, if acted upon turn to preferences becoming rights, but the birthright was altered by choice.

According to The Book, all of us have sinned, (missed the perfection of God’s ideals for living and honoring him — my definition) and fallen short of the glory of God. (Interpreted: his expectations and principles.)

What is Mr. Vestal’s world view, based on what definitions, and lived out for whom?
