Oh my! Perish the thought that anyone would think they are the Lord God Jesus Christ. I am just a lowly sinner! I am also not demanding any answers from you. I am trying to understand what spirit is behind you so that others may know whether to take you seriously or not, to see if we have fellowship in the Lord Jesus or not in this matter, or perhaps altogether. Nothing more, nothing less.
1 John 1:1-3: "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life -- the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us -- that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
I am not going to trade scripture with you unless you first can address some simple questions. I quit doing that years ago. It serves no Godly purpose. Any fool can use scripture for their own evil purposes. And any believer, acting in the flesh can do the same. And many, many, many do - both categories. Now, if you are willing to have a Christlike discussion of the Word, then that would be GREAT - for that will result in His Name being exalted! But that entails probing questions and answering of issues brought up on both sides, and most of all knowing that it is the Holy Spirit that will bring each to His Truth - in His own time and way if they so desire.
If you want to continue in this, you will do it without me. Been there, done that. But, if you truly desire to fellowship in the Lord Jesus, seeking out His truth, then I will gladly find the time to do so with you. Your choice.
Of course you are. It is an arrogant and sinful practice.
I never asked you to. In fact, yesterday I said I wouldn't. But the attacks continue, so here we are.
I quit doing that years ago.
No you didn't, you will still do so as long as I meet your "conditions", namely, I must answer your questions.
It serves no Godly purpose.
Bingo! So why do you do it? And why do you seek comfort from others who do?
Any fool can use scripture for their own evil purposes.
Gee, ya think????? Who would the fool be in this case?
If you want to continue in this, you will do it without me.
I have no interest in continuing. I responded to your posts to me.
The thread isn't about discussing scripture, it's about arrogant people attacking and slandering a fellow Christian. I call them on it, if you take offence at that, oh well.
