Why wouldn't you try to speak the truth diplomatically or with tact?

Who said that I would not?

In your statement, it says that you would speak plainly, boldly, and consistently. Am I misunderstanding your meaning? I'm associating this with the "Facts don't care about feelings." trope.

Well facts don't care about feelings but that was not what I was saying.

Precisely. Facts do not care about feelings. So how, as a the Christian you proclaim yourself to be from your passage, would you deliver these facts?
0 ups, 3y,

I don't think I can convey to you 'how' I would via text except to repeat myself and that wouldn't help you understand any better
0 ups, 3y,

Simply put, given the option, would you sugar coat the facts while delivering things you know are of a sensitive nature? Or just throw tact out the window as, in principle, facts do not care about feelings?

It's a matter of principle.

My approach would depend on feedback from who I was talking to. It's not a one-size fits all thing.

So, let's refine the question a bit. Thank you for your patience in this, by the way.

When is it appropriate to remove tact from a situation?
0 ups, 3y,

I don't know how to put that on paper.
0 ups, 3y
You can't think of one situation? You can't write it out as if you were to speak it? (two different things for me)

Ok. Now imagine someone demanding that you say things for them, and if you don't you're violating their freedom of speech.

Why does that person need someone else to speak for them if they have the same freedom of speech?

So you actually disagree with your own question?

You really don't see the analogy??????????

No, because not only is it hypothetical, but it doesn’t make any sense that someone would want you to speak for them if they had the exact power to speak for themselves.

Great. Tell Trump that. He doesn't seem to get it.

Except, funnily enough, his freedom of speech is being trampled on as we speak.

You have no proof that he was inciting violence. NONE. ZERO. NADA.

And if your only premise for banning someone is, “we’re tired of being his voice,” then you really need to reconsider your reasoning skills.

So then your hypothetical scenario doesn’t apply to Trump

Imgflip bans people because they have a terms of service and they don't have to host people who won't follow it, yes!

And that’s the most trash reason to ban someone. Like seriously. You can’t get banned from imgflip because it decided it didn’t want to be your voice.
[deleted]

Imgflip bans people all the time!

I’ve taken my time. And your hypothetical scenario only applies to people who aren’t being censored by those who are itching to rid the world of “wrong opinions.”

Guess what you’re censoring Trump for.

And don’t say for inciting violence. He didn’t do it.

I'm not doing ANYTHING. If it were up to me, Twitter would have dumped his account years ago. Twitter's just decided they've had enough of being his voice WHICH YOU YOURSELF RECOGNIZE IS NOT SOMETHING THEY SHOULD HAVE TO BE!

Trump doesn’t have what you claim he has.

He is being censored. Don’t deny it.

Now you don’t WANT to see the point at this rate.

The point was the first thing you said. Then you got all flustered and changed your mind.
0 ups, 3y,

Because that doesn’t apply to him! Your scenario doesn’t apply to everyone!

Twitter doesn't want to be his voice anymore and you can't make them be it!

Holy Scripture is about Jesus, He is the Son of God. He died for you to have eternal life.

The evidence is all around you. Your Creator & Saviour has placed it all around you. On your day of judgement you will have no excuse. You are a spiritual being encased in a decaying body. pen your spiritual eyes and ears and embrace the LOVE of God and His Son Jesus. He has been calling you for a long time.
