:doh:
The only acting as though an adult were a child is you throwing this tantrum.
If you want to talk to Bob about such things then call him. It's not that hard.
I'm not throwing a tantrum. I posted in a brother's thread stating what a bummer it is that the thread didn't go anywhere, my disappointment in the reply from Bob and that he never returned to discuss what was brought up. I also showed appreciation for STP as the good teacher that he is.
This is a website that promotes The Plot whether officially or by members of TOL. It is brought up and discussed by others in threads; some pro, some con. It's unfortunate that Bob doesn't take the opportunities for fruitful discussions on TOL concerning The Plot that we might all speak the same thing. That is what the apostle Paul beseeches us to do (1 Corinthians 1:10 KJV).
You posted in a five year old thread that was dead, just to complain about something that happened, or didn't happen, in January 2009.
This is not Bob's website, it is a website run by someone who happens to be a member of the fellowship of believers over which Bob presides as pastor. Bob will take every opportunity to discuss these things with people who reach out to him somewhere he can actually be reached on a regular basis. He doesn't take the time to come to TOL all that often, and he doesn't search through the threads to see if someone just happened to ask him a question on here, as this is not an official channel to reach him.
Uh.... with all due respect I think that is a bit unfair.
I had a "pastor" tell me a while back on fb that the olive tree was God and we had a discussion about it. He ended up unfriending me and didn't even say hi to me in Chatty because of it.
Yes, but he had already replied to this particular thread and knew that STP would like to discuss some things (listed) with him when he had time. It would have been nice if it would have materialized into something more. We could have all gained from it.
And was this thread on the front page when he was here?
This is what I've been trying to tell her.
And the next time he visited this thread was already dead, as the last post made was the same day, or the day after, Bob posted. If Bob did not recall the thread, which is almost certain, then he would not think to look for it and as it was not on the front page he would not see it, and therefore would not post again, as it was not on his mind, by reason of its absence.
...
STP thanked Bob for his time. Bob never answered the question. His own words... "I realize I haven't answered your question."
Bob used to come to this website. I'm sure when STP started this thread in the BEL forum, he assumed on some level or had some hope that Bob would see the thread and reply. Bob did, didn't answer the question of what he did reply to and decided for whatever reason never to return to the thread. That's how I read it. It's too bad. I know we would have learned much from the discussion. That's why it's a bummer it never took off.
bookmark/favorite doesn't require much effort
Bob wrote that the 12 should have expected to begin going to Gentiles at some point. Didn't they already know the order as to when they would? Bob has God redirecting ("redirected") them to go only to the Jews citing Galatians 2:9. And that because of Israel's unbelief God "repealed the Great Commission of the Circumcision to go to all nations". Why would he say God redirected them? Was not their direction clear from the getgo? I don't see where God "repealed" the so called GC. Why would Bob think the GC was supposed to be happening already that it could be repealed in the first place?
