@GoFish oh yeah

@Shayama hmm

@GoFish I do have a base level of respect for anyone, but beyond that character matters

@caccoon true

@Floki There was this lady I didn't really care for at the bar once, but this dude wouldn't leave her alone even though she told him to, I told him she told him to leave her alone and he went on.

@USAMade women take a lot from these dudes. What happened after?

@Floki She thanked me and offered to buy me a drink.

@Nevertooold Okay...

@Justmeraeagain I try my best because that's what my momma taught me.

@USAMade it's unfortunate that we can't make people be pleasant.
All we can do is our best

@USAMade Sounds bout right. Give respectful distances...

@USAMade

And that makes her not "the best person" ?
Sounds like you want something with her but she doesn't with uou

@TheHammer Nope, I already got someone, she's too much into herself anyway

@TheHammer Respect is the position you adopt of deference when dealing with a Superior.. That being following their command / lead.. That's why the Bible says Respect your mother and your father.. That's why we give the respect due to Law enforcement officers and judges, to the Authorities.. But with the slow alteration of language over the generations people have morphed the meaning of respect to ""be nice to"" Be kind to"" ""care for others"" But thats not the actual definition of the word in a Biblical sense..

@Adstar
In the passage you mention, respecter means that he doesn't discriminate or shows partiality.
Somewhere else might mean something else.
But in Acts 10 34, it means what I just mentioned.

@TheHammer To respect someone is to favour them over yourself .. to submit to their lead.. to look up to them as your superior.. Thats part of showing partiality putting one person above another..

In Acts 10 34 it says God does not look upon one nation / people / race as superior to another but that anyone from anywhere in the world is acceptable to Him if they respect His Word and trust in Him..
