Can you point out a specific instance? Thanks.

That depends on what kind of judging and your heart. There are at least 3 different Greek words for the different concepts of judging. Luke 6: G2919 (judge, κρίνω, krinó) occurs 115 times. G2613 (condemn, καταδικάζω, katadikazo) occurs only 6 times. Thayer's Greek Lexicon: G2613-condemn is a...

I can do a Hong Kong accent with "Good evening, Prof. Van Helsing. Let's have a bite. Shall we?" :)

You do not want to spell out your reasoning step by step clearly so that others can see how you arrive at your "therefore" conclusion? Do you not want to explain yourself so that others can understand?

Genesis 3: He knew where the weak link was. He targeted the woman directly. They spoke as if Adam was around but he didn't say or do anything. Adam was within handy distance. Even though Eve ate first, Adam followed quickly. They felt the same effect at the same time. 1 Timothy 2: Adam...

2 Corinthians 12: That's the purpose of Paul's thorn: to keep him humble. God humbles everyone, including his prophets and servants. It was not literally a thorn. Satan used it to constantly harass Paul. God used Satan to keep Paul humble. It could be some kind of psychological attack. Perhaps...

I am having trouble understanding the above logically. Can you explain your reasoning step by step? Begin with Step #1:

John 6: I.e., Jesus healed the sick to prove that he was sent by God. Similarly for the disciples, Matthew 10: And for Paul, Acts 19: All of the above healings show that they were sent by God. Miracles are usually signs to demonstrate something. In this case, they showed that Paul was an...

What about people who never heard of Christ; therefore making them ignorant of Christ and ignorant of antichrists?

By "therefore", do you mean it in its First-Order Logical sense?

I don't think so, Genesis 2: I'd assume that this was a species of tree in itself. Eve and Adam ate the fruit from this particular species of tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil which no longer exists.

What specifically do you mean by God's truth here?

No, not back then. That's why Jesus commanded the disciples to spread the gospel. Even back then, not everyone who had joined the visible church was part of the spiritual Body of Christ.

Thanks, brother. I rather not complain about a fellow brother. God bless you.

Right. Thanks for the reminder. I've added a disclaimer to my OP :)

Please quote my words before the shift and after. Do not overgeneralize and put words into my mouth. Stop making accusations without quoting my words. You seem to have trouble abiding by these basic scholarly principles. So far you just keep saying that I have not said. Who do I go to to...

1. People hear of Jesus and affirm he is Christ. 2. People hear of Jesus and deny he is Christ. 3. People never have heard of Jesus and plead ignorance. 4. People hear of Jesus and neither affirm nor deny he is Christ and plead non-commitment or neutrality.

You are overgeneralizing. Can you quote my words to support your accusation? Perhaps you are in the habit of making accusations without support. Am I right?

I think that's possible. See Does the Paraclete guide different believers differently on the same issue?
