I was sincere when I thanked you – but when you pressed – after being aware of the comments by the peanut gallery posters – to think you would still think it a good idea to post – and even to post to you – when you simply take the opposite view – if I say this – you say that – if I say that – you say this – you are just looking for a contentious issue to stir up.
If you're so poorly rooted and grounded in your faith, then why mention that you have any at all? If you are a believer, then why not defend your faith in The Word, and give some basis for people to perhaps understand you better, if you are able to take a stand at all, other than to simply dismiss everyone who has faith in The Word of God and decides that the faith, once delivered unto the saints, is enough for them? You make yourself an enemy of The Gospel, otherwise.
But the point – why do you only condemn those who are outside of the so called church?
Because The Body of Christ truly exists, but you can't quite come to grips with that, being outside of it. The preaching of The Cross is foolishness to you.
– those who try to understand what the words say that make up the apologetics of the Christian faith – a person is safe from the likes of you as l ong as they just mindlessly say the jargon of your creeds, and don’t try to understand what exactly it is they are talking about.
What, exactly, if anything, do you think that I (or anyone else, for that matter) don't understand? You seem to be, once again, simply dismissing people right and left, without any basis. Please be specific.
As for you – you would disagree with anyone who tries to understand what is being said, and from you(r) posts , and your actions – you are quite willing to attempt to pull someone out onto the floor to have your fellow wolves try to tear to shreds their beliefs.
Sorry about your 'symbols' being confused, but this is a matter of you (servant101) being a wolf, and parading around in sheep's clothing. It is evident to everyone but yourself.
So what – every madman in religious history has been thus ordained – the same as you – in fact if you listed all the people who are thus as you are – they are ten times worse than those who have no such ordination – no one but an idiot would accept your self professed dictations as any proof of anything- except the ramblings of misguided soul in need of instruction and insight.
I'm not asking you to accept anything that you're not able to. Obviously you don't even believe me when I tell you that I am a Christian. Where's your proof? You are a blind guide, and can't see much at all, since you're stranded in your little ditch.
By your own logic – how many people claim what you claim – and yet are in no way able to teach or preach?
Did you have someone specific in mind, or were you trying to dismiss all of Christendom?
What use is it to post such:
You know what I am saying - No, if you understand that Jesus described hell, literally, you are currently in danger of that fate, because you call the Spirit of Truth a liar.
I would never presume to do such a thing. He is The One who confirms His Word, and that Word says that hell is a real place.
You also demonstrate your own inability to understand sound doctrine.
Where do you find such foolishness (there is no hell) other than Universalism, paganism and every limp-wristed false religion on this earth? That's not sound doctrine, it's simple lies.
Anyways I give up on you again for a while – I will not respond to you for a time.
That's very mature, and won't promote your growth, but, rather, tend to make you fester in your own judgementalism.
Learn to reason and produce some reasonable discourse – for intelligent discussion of the Scripture.
Where do you believe I have been un-reasonable or not responded to reason, or lacked reasoning abilities? Please be specific. You're using blind accusations, once again, to cloud your own judgement. It has you by the nose.
You have wshown great improvement – and hopefully there will be a time, when you actually turn you ability to teach the truth to the people to whom it is useful – to the lost in your own church.
Were you to come to my church, I believe that thing would leave you, you'd come to a knowledge of The Truth, and come to know Him, so that when that thing comes back to you with ten of his friends, you'd be able to stand against him, instead of being in agreement with him, as you obviously are today. :devil:
