“You’re not a very good teacher”

You are not my student. You are not in charge of my time, agenda, or message.

I do not dance when you take out your flute and play it.

You have no reverence for the Word of God while attacking people about their adherence to the Word of God.

I will be happy to address questions from someone who truly has an interest in the truth rather than a mocker who is stubborn, proud, and unrepentant.

You complain about long, well-researched, well-documented posts because you are too lazy to read, too stubborn to listen, and too proud to consider your error.

It took me a long time to assemble those posts. But you insult them, in the same trifling way as you do with the Word of God.

My posts are filled with the scriptures for which you have no reverence.

They are there for those who have ears to hear and eyes to see.

It would do no good to equip you with any answers to the questions you seek. You are like the Pharisees who did not even know the right questions to ask.

When you can own up to your own moral failure and humble yourself, not before me, but before God, then you may be ready to learn something.

Right now, you have been called out for grave sin which has no place in the life of a professed follower of Christ. If you are truly His, He will convict your heart and bring a godly sorrow to repentance. Then you will be able to learn from Him. And I will be glad to help you then, if I can.

But right now, providing you knowledge is like educating a hardened criminal in prison. They get out and use their knowledge to commit worse crimes.

First, get your heart right with God. Then you can engraft His word with meekness as James describes.

Here is the thing you need to know about scripture: The purpose of learning about the Bible is to come to know Christ. All scripture is about Him.

John 5:39 (KJV)
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me [i.e Jesus].

You write so much and say so little. Here's another chance to answer the question.

Is it true or is it false that the Old Testament was written in Hebrew (except for a very small portion of Daniel)and that it was divinely given to the Jews?

Again, resist the urge to jump up on your soapbox and just answer the question.
