Humble is not the word that comes to mind when reading your posts.

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?
