SFA asked me to comment on a linguistic issue, not spiritual matters. Do you understand the difference?

Yes, you were called in for your "linguistic" knowledge, so why did you also feel the need to add your comments on the "spiritual matters"?

For example, you don't believe Isaiah 7:14 is a Messianic prophecy, you think Paul was wrong-headed about many things, you think the KJV was "manipulated" and "untrustworthy", you think the "Reformed" are wrong, etc. Can you just give a knowledgeable contribution on language without adding your "agnostic" opinions? I really do think that is what stfassisi was asking for since you "dis" his faith along with everybody elses'.

I didn't talk about spiritual matters, but matters that are objectively available for examination.

For example, you don't believe Isaiah 7:14 is a Messianic prophecy

It's not a messianic prophesy but a sign God promised to king Ahaz, the king of Judah, who lived seven hundred years before Virgin Mary. Read the whole chapter and tell me where it becomes a 1st century "messianic" prophecy.

you think Paul was wrong-headed about many things

Yes, and you think is was not.

you think the KJV was "manipulated" and "untrustworthy"

That is objectively true. Nothing spiritual in that.

you think the "Reformed" are wrong

On some things, yes. And your point is?

Can you just give a knowledgeable contribution on language without adding your "agnostic" opinions? I really do think that is what stfassisi was asking for since you "dis" his faith along with everybody elses'

I was invited to comment on the usage of a word in KJV, which involved also Isiah 7:14. I didn't mention anything that was not mentioned prior to my invitation to comment. Not that an invitation is needed for, or the scope limited in an open threat.

Do I go around policing your posts and telling you how much you should comment? I mean the liberty some of you take when it comes to me is really over the top.

As for SFA, I think, unlike some, he is way too confident in his faith not to be threatened by a dissenting opinion.

You think...

Reading the mind of another Freeper is a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
