I'm tired of it though. I think your last one would make a great bumper sticker:
Don’t Mess With Someone Who Has Wisdom and Discernment.
And Humility too!

Actually I was following your lead in your reply to my post. I thought you wanted to trade non sequiturs. No?
The Catholic Church's problem with Christianity stem from the Bible, not denominations.
Your first mistake is implying I think like you and then trying to spin that you actually thought that. Manipulation to deceive is from the pit.
Don’t mess w/someone who has wisdom and discernment - save it for catholics who are without the Spirit.
Sects, denominations, whatever you wish to call them, they exist. Since they disagree too, I guess their argument is with the Bible as well.
So, anyway, not answering whether you agree or not?

To be ‘in Christ’ is being humble.
Something those without the Spirit will never understand. Save your ‘man’ pictures, as they only impress catholics.
Humble is not the word that comes to mind when reading your posts.
Entertaining is one that does however.
thank you.
The 4 Gospels are also tied to the 4 living creatures of Ezekiel and Revelation.
4 is also known as the number of creation. 4 seasons, 4 main compass points, 4 natural states of matter, 4 forces, 4 dimensions, 4 double-bonds in a carbon molecule which is element number 6. 6 is the Biblical number of ‘flesh’ or ‘man’. All life is carbon-based (element #6) which has 4 bonds pointing to the created origin of life (or flesh).
Also, Exodus 26:31-32. The Four Pillars on which the Cherubim-embroidered veil hung. The four pillars display the beautiful veil. The four Gospels display the perfection of God the Son tabernacled among men.
And how Rev. 4:6,7 authenticates the ORDER of the Four Gospel accounts. Everything in God's Word is there, and in His perfect order.
It shouldn't because it can't. When one is without the Spirit, there are many things you don't get as your posts indicate.
Entertaining is one that does however.
Don't be hard on yourself - you can't understand what you aren't equipped to understand.
1 Cor 2:14 "The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned."
1 Cor 12:7-11
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,
9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and He distributes them to each one, just as He determines.
I understand you just fine. I don’t equate you with God, and I think this might differentiate the way I see your posts from the way you see them.
Still, I appreciate their entertainment value.
thanks again.
You are speaking as God or the Spirit aren’t you?
If your thoughts turn towards God when reading the scriptures I posted, that’s the Spirit of God calling you to Him. I don’t have the power to do that.
Hard as it may be for you to believe, I have Holy Scriptures, and I read them. I really don’t need you to post verses to me, particularly in the haughty manner that is your online persona.
Your power for me here, is to entertain.
thanks again.
It's telling me that if they can get people to believe it all came from them, then they have all the authority in the world to "edit" it, in addition to making it say whatever they want it to say. Whereas, if God is really who gave it to us, then he is who has the authority, not them, and his Holy Spirit does his job to illuminate God's truth from those Scriptures to all those who have surrendered themselves to his perfect will. I found this great article that addresses this point. It's called "Just Trust us on this one...wink, wink".
I do believe your challenge to me was "show me where any translation says it like that, I'll bet you can't". I showed you a few that used the word "pillar and buttress". So what that the KJV uses a different word, it still means the same thing and the "church" is not called the "basis" of the truth as you stated. I met your challenge. What? No gold star? ;o)
If you are referring to God's Word, without the Spirit you can understand them as your posts show.
in the haughty manner that is your online persona.
I'm a spirit filled child of The Most High God. Beggars are envious and will ridicule what they don't have to feel better.
Enjoy your entertainment, the Vatican/RCC has plenty more for you that you can't imagine. And then you will see haughtiness and I don't mean the haughtiness of extending the hand for the ring to be kissed - although that has prepared their subjects of what's to come.
Or even more importantly, not just editing it and claiming the sole right to interpret it, but ADDING to it. If they claim authorship, then they can claim the authority to add to it any extra-Biblical teachings and declare it of equal authority and inspiration as Scripture.
That's what is so insidious about their claim of authorship of Scripture and claims of being responsible for its existence.
Seems to me the only ‘spirit’ you’ve exhibited here is one of anger and strong need to attack Christ’s Church - with more than a little holier than thou thrown in as usual.
Empty jabs, swinging at air, weak imitations of a puffer fish. It is mere entertainment, like watching an internet temper tantrum.
Like this one, each time you start a discussion with me, your content is the same: nonsense and pompous insults.
While I enjoy the break from actual discussion, I have to wonder: How is this working for you?
By adding to it and changing what in essence they are saying is the same old question - Did God really say ?
