Your agreeing with him comes as no surprise nor does his comment about not being able to have “intellectual” conversation. Those who follow Christ don’t discuss spiritual maters with “intellect” nor should they. It’s spiritual issues that are important and the carnal “intellect” does not understand them in the least. They can’t get beyond the carnal intellect as evidenced by your comments.

Only those incapable of making an intellectual argument would ever think such a thing.

Let me explain once an for all why the above comment is a bunch of hooey.

When you love someone, I mean really truly LOVE someone you want to know them as deeply and richly as possible. You want to know everything about them. Where they came from, who there parents are, do they have brothers and/or sisters. In short you want to know everything there is to know about them. Otherwise you will be like the wheat in Luke 8:6 Some seed fell on rocky ground, and when it grew, it withered for lack of moisture. and explained in Luke 8:13 Those on rocky ground are the ones who, when they hear, receive the word with joy, but they have no root; they believe only for a time and fall away in time of trial.

Doesn't it make more sense to be the wheat in Luke 8:8 And some seed fell on good soil, and when it grew, it produced fruit a hundredfold.” After saying this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear.” and explained in L:uke 8:15 But as for the seed that fell on rich soil, they are the ones who, when they have heard the word, embrace it with a generous and good heart, and bear fruit through perseverance.

Each of you has a spouse of significant other that you love. When you met them didn't you want to know everything there was to know about them. Don't you think that as Christians we should do the same with Jesus?

I will not be responding to any snarky posts.
