The beginning of understanding comes from God's Word, not man's.
I’m very well aware of that, Davy. Right you are, there, for sure.
And using GIFs for personal attacks at one's credibility is still... a personal attack.
I get that you are perceiving it as an attack.
it’s not about you, though, Davy. It’s about your self-righteousness and condescension. Yes, I am mocking that; it is well-deserved.
Because you think they are 'cute' reveals your lack of maturity, for that kind of thing is what a young kid would do.
Pffft. And I say your self-righteousness and condescension reflect quite a bit about you, and immaturity is one of those things.
Age is immaterial, but… Well, I’ll just say that that black and white Brando eye roll GIF dates me pretty well.
And it’s very communicative when well placed... And, do kind of wish I could be young again… Well, sometimes…
Yes, which is why you act like a little kid when acting like that, because it does nothing to prove any point you might have.
My “cuteness” is not meant to prove any point, but really to indicate my shrugging off of your self-righteousness, condescension, and… well, yes, your attacks on my character. But hey, go ahead; my identity is in Christ. I’m sure you would say the same; I’m not insinuating yours is not.
That is another thing that reveals your child and lack of maturity, when you think you are not mocking God's Word…
I get that you
think I am “mocking the Word of God,” but no, never would I do such a thing. Ya just an empty accusation.
by trying to throw out meaningless counterpoints…
Not even sure what your talking about here. I’ll just say that just because you may disagree or be offended by anything I have said renders any… counterpoint… I have made (again, no clue what you’re referring to here, and don’t care, to be perfectly frank) meaningless. So yeah, my apologies, but I’m just not concerned about that. At all.
you think it will hit me that you aim at…
I do think some things should hit you, Davy. You know, in the sense of… realizing some things, about a number of things… and about yourself, frankly. So… yes.
you mock The Word of God…
Not at all. An example or two might be useful.
But no.
not even trying... to understand what the Scripture says as written.
So, if I disagree with you concerning what is written, then I am (a) mocking the Word of God, and (b) not trying to understand what is written. I see…
Our Heavenly Father and His Son sees you doing that too.
Well, they’re certainly aware of all that goes on, yes.
Hey, Davy, I’m really sorry, but yes, I’m mocking you.
Well, your “holier-than-thou-ness.”
Yes they are against it, because people that do not understand something usually band with others to try and put it down.
I’m not “banding together” with anyone here. That has no relevance, anyway. And again, just because one (or some, or many) disagree with you regarding what God’s Word says means neither that they necessarily don’t understand it or that they are mocking God’s Word; such an accusation has no merit.
…as far as those who don't accept the idea of the future 3rd Jewish temple built by the Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem for the end, you'd be surprised how many well understand it is required per the written Bible Scripture…
I’m very much not surprised and am well aware that many think along the same lines as you. There are many who think along the same lines as I regarding these things. It is called disagreement. And Davy, it’s okay. Really. It’s okay.
So I’m not alone with teaching it from God’s Word.
No, you’re certainly not alone.
Nor am I.
And that... is another proof of how YOU WORK AGAINST GOD'S WORD
Nope. You think I do, maybe ~ and again, I’m not concerned about your thinking that ~ but I’m most certainly not.
And, well, in the sense that you say what you’re saying here, Davy, I would say the very same to you. But it’s ridiculous, really, because nobody and no thing can really “work against” God’s Word:
* God’s Word always accomplishes the purpose for which it is sent; it never returns to Him void/empty (Isaiah 55:11).
* The grass withers, and the flower fades, but the Word of our God stands/endures forever (Isaiah 40:8; 1 Peter 1:24-25).
We just disagree. And we’re certainly not the only ones…
simply because the "abomination of desolation" prophecy per the Book of Daniel is specifically about the placing of an IDOL abomination inside the Jew's temple in Jerusalem for the end of this world. (Daniel 11:31; Matthew 24:15-21).
Well, the Word of God says what it says. Maybe we can just leave it at that.
Grace and peace to you, Davy.
