So, perhaps your intent to publicly castigate Kosta could end up being a millstone around your neck?

Don't use Scripture to attack/condemn one of God's own to satisfy a agnostic poster when according to Scripture he is INCAPABLE of understanding God's Word!

1 Corinthians 2:14
"The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit."

They cannot understand the Bible, or the way in which God works. For the Bible is not like any other book where you can read it and give a book review at the end. The Bible is full of ‘spiritual truths’ and we need the indwelling Holy Spirit to speak to us and ‘reveal’ the hidden truths in it.

Don't use God's Word unless you show reverence to it. If you disagree with don't use it. It's not a plaything to mock and correct at your leisure. Satan hates The Word and mocked it, also. Jesus is THE WORD. You mock Jesus when you mock His Word and you mock the Holy Spirit because His Word is Holy Spirit inspired. You are on dangerous ground.

“”according to Scripture he is INCAPABLE of understanding God’s Word!””

Do you know Kosta’s heart and has God given you some special knowledge of him?

For one,an agnostic can be someone who has not rejected Christ but is still searching. Secondly, Kosta is certainly one of the best Christian historians here on FR and he uses sound Orthodox teaching which understands the “Word of God” for over 2000 years .He is also fluent in Greek.

So, perhaps you can explain why it is ok to condemn someone who is still searching for answers with an honest and sincere heart?

Personally ,I think you and others don’t want Kosta around because his knowledge of historical Christianity challenges your own protestant faith

PNS-””You mock Jesus when you mock His Word and you mock the Holy Spirit because His Word is Holy Spirit inspired. You are on dangerous ground.””

Sadly, it is you who mocks Jesus by not showing love and condemning someone still searching

“Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven.”Luke 6: 36-37

I will pray for you!

Except that you have zero proof that this is so. I am calling your bluff. What you are saying sounds no different that some Muzzie who says if you don't believe in the Koran you are an enemy of God. Everyone uses that tactic to silence opposition or just plain reason.
