I could probably document a couple or more dozen pages of my lines in this thread alone that have been totally ignored . . . that were quite substantive and often with Biblical support.
That dog won’t hunt.
Well, unless they have Biblical support, don't bother substantiating them. Limit yourself to the ones that DO have it.
Besides, they have not been "totally ignored". I daresay that we could go through this thread post by post and find every objection of yours responded to by someone here, with Scripture no less.
Do not give yourself too much credit for your spiritual insight and maturity. Take heed that you stand, lest you fall.
Yeah, we know. You've had years of experience over the far reaches of the planet, with all kinds of people and have seen it all and know it all.
I'm sorry that we're not more in awe of your spiritual prowess and expertise but when most of what you're relying on to back yourself up is based not on Scripture but experience (aka the traditions of men), then you are NOT going to find a audience of willing hearers and followers.
I don't doubt that many of the experiences you've been through actually happened or happened as you say. What I do doubt is your interpretation of them or their validity as being from God, simply because there is no solid Scriptural support for them in the Bible.
And when your best retort is a image of a bunny with a roll of toilet paper on its head and whining that "Sometimes it's good to bring absolutely nothing to the intellectual table", your credibility takes a nosedive from which it may never recover.
We've expressed some concerns, valid by your own admission in many cases, of the abuses and excesses of the charismatic/pentecostal movement and get that in response?
Before you finally take off in an indignant huff because we don't recognize your spiritual giantness, do a pride check and see if your ego isn't getting in the way of you seeing clearly. The offense that you appear to be taking because we aren't agreeing with you is sending off huge warning flags and red lights that something is NOT right in your opinion of yourself.
Then do so...and while doing that list the respones which were given at length as well.
