You twisted out, "Show where anyone who was divorced has been blessed for their righteousness." That is opposite of the point I was making and you know it. But, in your style of dissembling to alter truth to fit your agenda, you twisted what I offered, as if I was asserting that divorced men would be blessed. It was never so ... men were blessed despite their polygamy. God's promises to David were realized despite David's adultery and murder of Uriah; Peter was blessed despite his denial of Christ the night of His trail; Paul was blessed despite his persecution of the believers.

You are cunning, I will give you that. But then, cunning is not an indicator of good character, just manipulativeness.

>> You twisted out

LOL!

>>That is opposite of the point I was making and you know it.

Now you too are claiming to know what is in my heart.

Make better arguments then.

>> But, in your style of dissembling to alter truth to fit your agenda, you twisted what I offered, as if I was asserting that divorced men would be blessed.

Lets go back to what you said…

>>“If God actually approved of any one of these people, he
>>approves of polygamy.” That is clearly an erroneous
>>conclusion since the same could then be applied to
>>divorce, but the scriptures say clearly that God allowed
>>divorce because of the hardness of their hearts not
>>because he ‘approved’ of divorce. But that was a nice
>>try ...

You invited the comparison of polygamy to divorce. You said it was clearly erroneous logic. Did you realize that I merely used the logical construct AnalogReigns gave me? I told him at the time he would not like where it ended up, go back in the thread, you’ll see that that was where this logic came from.

>>”dissembling”? I thought I was being Clear in my agenda, I am defending my faith from scurrilous attacks using only the Bible, the web and wit. I am cleaning the proverbial clocks of you and AnalogReigns because I have studied hard and long. AnalogReigns has already stated that he does not have the time to keep up with my study material and you are resorting to cheap tricks that would have lost you points in the debate clubs I used to participate in.

“”you twisted what I offered, as if I was asserting that divorced men would be blessed” Sorry, I saw this as the obvious rejoinder to your statement, I’ll try to pull my punches a little next time. I did not know you were so sensitive.

>> It was never so ...

I agree.

>>men were blessed despite their polygamy.

I disagree.

>>God’s promises to David were realized despite David’s adultery and murder of Uriah;

God gave David many wives before he fell they were a gift from the lord, Nathan says so in 2 Samuel 12:8 “And I gave thee thy master’s house, and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.” Unless you are telling em that God would give a man sin, God does not have a problem with polygamy.

>>Peter was blessed despite his denial of Christ the night of His trail; Paul was blessed despite his persecution of the believers.

This I can agree with, but because of repentance. God cannot bless us in our sins; we must repent of them in order to receive his fullness.

>> You are cunning,

If this was supposed to b a compliment, you failed, I see the link you are tying to draw between me and Satan. I assure you I am doing what I think God wants me to, just as I assume you are doing. I will always assume you have the highest motives, because I want to be treated that way. (It’s the golden rule thing)

>>I will give you that. But then, cunning is not an indicator of good character, just
>>manipulativeness.

See, here you impute base motives to my actions which I assure you, you are also mistaken about.

Go with God, may he bless and keep you.

MMMWWWAAAAHHAAAAA!

Yes I am, I am pure Eeeevilll and you are under my control. My friends call me Dr. E. Now that I have you under my power, you are to send me all of your money and then convert to Judyism.

Just a question, does your paranoia keep you from holding a steady job?
