Nice try, gotcha gal.
But Kolokotronis was referring not to your diligent study of the Bible or trust in Christ but to your interpretive conclusions drawn from your study. We do not call you heretics because you study the Bible but we call you heretics, if we do, because of the conclusions you draw from the Bible. Zeeba was trying to pass himself off as a li'l old just-studying-my-Bible-so-why-you-guys-hittn'-me-all-the-time victim.
Stand up and stand behind your interpretations, defend them as you wish, but don't give me that "I'm just a poor old Bible-studying fella" business.
And, as you will note, I don't even call Zeeba a heretic for his conclusions because I don't think he knows what he's doing enough to be culpable. Calvin, yes, I'll call him a heretic. And the Catholic-derived Jansenius as well. But Harley and Zeeba and you, you're just invincibly ignorant, at least, so I hope. I don't get to make the final judgment call on these matters. You've had plenty of warning, so you're playing with fire if you continue to refuse honestly to engage alternative conclusions but it's up to you. After all, you are free to choose what you believe and what you reject.
I wondered if you would apologize for your clear error.
I got my answer.
Since you're discussing zeeba neighba at such length, I'll do the polite thing which you overlooked and ping him.
Don't bother to thank me.
Actually, no one was hitting on me. I took it upon myself to correct you all, and you all do need correction.
