i may have slightly defended him quite awhile back, barely. most recently i saw a death wish from you upon him and no matter who it was i would speak to that. i have pointed out numerous times what i see him do, and thank God he never replies or comments too much on my posts. i think he can sense that i won't play his games
he asks questions and doesn't tell you what he thinks, but wants us to tell him, so he can say - then you say this, and you think that - and he's completely wrong. it's the same every time. then he puts words in mouths and contorts the questions. i told him he should study alone, just think how much he could do by himself !!!!
I have already related that in my generation the words "drop dead" mean "get lost, annoying gnat."
Personally I am surprised this "Accuser of the Brethren" did not turn my explanation into my asserting I wished him to loose his salvation.
Anyway, this that you finally realize about his way, in your above words, is an exact description of the kind of people the Galatians had ended up misled by - the Legalist.
Galatians 6:
12.
As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
13.
For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
The man appears to show no care neither for submitting his own will to the following:
14. But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
Nor to allowing others theirs:
15. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
As a result, his is continually the very opposition of the following:
16. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
As you see in those passages, the issue was not circumcision (a work someone might be appeased by), nor uncircumcision (its lack), rather; a failure to allow others to stand by faith where they are with the Lord, in Him, as Paul had taught them they were to stand by: by faith.
To stand by faith in that liberty that had cost Christ His shed Blood ALONE.
As with those who had succeeded enslaving the Galatians under their thumb, this would be know it all king of Mid-Acts behaves towards others supposedly his own, as if another man's servant is his to lord it over as he sees fit...
