I've heard about the sort of walking contradiction who will do anything to avoid answering questions. I've even heard they'll act like it's other people who aren't open to discussion in order to hide their own failure to answer a question. In reality, it's obvious people like that don't want real discussion because they rely on the doctrine of, "Sola Yourselfa" and never make up their own mind. They adapt whatever they believe to however they want to live and blame the Holy Spirit for contradictions should anyone be so rude as to notice them. I hear they insist that if someone really was in touch with the Holy Spirit they, too, would ignore contradictions even when a nasty contradiction is floating in the punch bowl everyone is dipping punch from.

It must be sad to meet such folks who have to either swear they are personally infallible or admit that they're following their own understanding exactly the same way Eve did. Nine times out of ten, though, that sort of folks resort to pretending they can read the mind of anyone who disagrees with them and then proceed to put words in their mouths. The only bright spot in such a crowd is that one in ten who don't pretend to be mind readers and who are trying to follow Christ. There's hope for that one in ten and we all pray for them. The other nine craft their own god with the hammer of their own understanding and the chisel of their personal interpretations. They then spend their lives trying to breathe life into the god they create by slandering and lying about any who follow Christ, especially those who are part of the real, physical, visible, Church Christ created to be His body on earth until He returns and to provide His flock with shepherds and guidance.
