I not only accused you of being a hypocrite, Vern, I PROVED IT WITH YOUR OWN WORDS. Your rejection of it does not make it go away. I didn't start out accusing you of hypocrisy. I started out with a question. I found the answer you gave as unacceptible and gave specific reasons why. You accused me of ignoring your answer, which is demonstrably false. You then proceeded to do precisely that which you lambasted me for: ignore my post. Hence the term hypocrite.
Further, I am more than weary of the contentious, arrogant, judgmental, and condescending expressions.
No doubt...it must require tremendous effort to come up with as many as you have.
I gave you the answer, and if you need to go back to school to learn plain language, never mind another language, I suggest you do so.
I gave a plain, well-reasoned response to the answer you provided. Rather than defend your answer you've chosen to attack me. It is a textbook case of ad hominem if ever I've seen one.
I would further suggest you learn a little civility instead of demonstrating the typical attitude of those of your persuasion.
I would further suggest you take your own advice, Vern.
If that isn't plain enough, please note the following, no parsing, no Greek, just plain old English... Get Lost!
Do I need to point out that, on the heels of admonishing me to be more civil and less "contentious, arrogant, judgmental, and condescending" you then proceed to do exactly that which you're challenging me not to do?
I am willing to lay all this aside and get back to the original questions regarding Acts 13:48 if you will do so.
Which, ironically, is exactly the response you've been pushing for all day long.
