You've done it again.
If you don't care what I say to you....it means you have NO VALUE for my comments. This is an insult.
why do you write to me then?
Not an insult at all--you apparently did not understand what I was saying--my apologies if I was not clear.
Just because I don't care what you say about me doesn't mean that I don't care about what you have to say at all. You have jumped to conclusions. I thought we were having a theological discussion.
Are you upset because you think I'm boasting?
If someone states something true...it's not boasting..it's just stating something.
I NEVER said I was a bible teacher,,AND YOU'RE REPEATING IT AGAIN, after I've already told you once I never said this.
My mistake if you did not say this, but perhaps I am remembering someone else. You did say, did you not, that you taught new believers?
Yes. I have taught new Christians.
You're not impressed? Gee. How will I ever sleep tonight?
Does that not make you a Bible teacher? I said nothing about myself in that interchange--why do you feel it necessary to make up something I did not say, and then give a sarcastic response?
And you ask if God is impressed?
Yes--I asked it because I was actually interested in what you would say.
Do you realize, like many here that don't, that speaking words from the bible is SERIOUS BUSINESS. James 3:1
I had to be very careful of each word I said.
I had to be sure I was NOT teaching incorrect doctrine or heresy.
Did you know that here's no real way to teach the Trinity?
Any way you try to teach it will end up in heresy.
What heresy you may ask? That would make a nice study.
There's more than one.
Yes--I am well aware of that.
And it's not very nice to call a person IGNORANT.
You ARE ignorant. So am I. Neither of us has exhausted all that Christ would teach us through His Holy Spirit.
How can you know me by what I say here, if you think I'm boasting at times?
The word "boast" never went past the end of my fingers.
Am I supposed to censor myself for YOUR benefit?
Perhaps you would do it for Jesus?
You can tell youself to go study the bible,,,but you can't tell me that.
Why not? As one member of the Body to another, I am honestly concerned for your growth as I would care about it for myself and others here.
You don't know if I've ever studied it or not and for how long and to what degree.
True, but as a general rule, I know that no one has "arrived" until they arrive in heaven.
I've told persons to study up on something they seem to know nothing about...but not to person who seem to have a doctrine under their belt.
But, the problem is that I don't think you have this particular matter right.
It's DEMEANING to reply to me that I should study the bible,,, exactly because you don't know me.
You probably care too much about that sort of thing. Galatians 1:10
And I don't have all knowledge and I've said this. I know very little about eschatology...but what I know, I know.
But what if I disagree on what you think you know?
AGAIN! Another insult.
You think I don't know what a hypocrite is?
Just an observation.
what should anyone assume?
If you think we DO have to obey God,,,why are you debating me?
I don't think we HAVE to--I think we want to. Do you really think that God is pleased when He asks, "Do you love Me?" and we respond, "It is my duty to love you."? Think of how you would feel if your husband said that to you?
1. Paddles don't work.
2. By the age of five the character is already formed.
I actually agree with you about paddling. But that is for another discussion another day.
As I've requested...IF you post to me,,,it should be about scripture...
NOT personal remarks...
AS THIS ENTIRE POST WAS.
LOLOLOL Forgive me, but that also amused me.
