"Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.' No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent. Then Abraham said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone...

It makes me wonder, if he doesn't believe what the Bible says to him, what voices is he hearing that makes him think it is Jesus or the Holy Spirit. We know that God has said everything He is going to say to us in the pages of the written Scriptures. It's all there when we go digging for it to...

This is just not even worth defending.

But by your own admission, you don't believe the Bible to be the direct inspired Word of God, so we are debating from different foundations. That is why you can post abusive, accusative and nasty comments and not know that they do not reflect the fruit of the Spirit that is characteristic of a...

He doesn't believe the Bible is the Word of God, so trying to reason with him on the basis of the Bible is not going to get anywhere with him.

The Holy Spirit inspired the Old Testament authors, who were holy men of God who wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. And Jesus, through the Holy Spirit inspired the writers of the New Testament. The same Holy Spirit who said that Jesus was the Word, is the Person who said that all...

I'm not accusing you of anything. All I did was ask you a question, and made a general post directed at no one in particular. But you are accusing me of everything except stealing the kitchen sink!

Every genuinely born again believer knows that it is the Word of God directly inspired to the authors by the Holy Spirit Himself.

The Word of God says that Satan is the accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:10).

All I am doing is commenting on your posts in terms of the fruit of the Spirit. I have been nothing but respectful to you and have received nasty, godless abuse from you in return. You might not agree, but I'll bet that the godly, Biblical believers who read our posts will see who is closer...

Okay, I'll just let the Holy Spirit to ask the question in your conscience, to examine whether you are complying with the Ten Commandments or not.

Was that post directed solely at you? It wasn't. You just assumed that it was. I wonder if my post was pricking your conscience? You are determined to persist in discrediting me, so you can judge your own comments in the light of love, joy, peace, gentleness, and kindness. And then consider...

There we go! Kick a barrel of acid and we get acid. I sure hit a nerve there!

Accusative comments stop the conversation dead in its tracks with me.

Well, you are intent on avoiding my question, so I believe you are judging yourself in some way, so we can't progress any further until you are willing to answer it instead of avoid it by continuing to discredit me by giving the impression that I have no right to ask the question.

Informative.

The problem is with many is that they make a god for themselves that they feel comfortable with and who is consistent with their lifestyle. Any Biblical challenge, based on the Ten Commandments, which is consistent with the God of the Bible, to their lifestyle, will cause them to be defensive...

Yep, I have been 53 years in the faith and I am nowhere near perfection. I think I have gone backwards. If Jesus hadn't have died on the cross to take the penalty for my sin, I would be sunk like the Jap minisub in Sydney Harbour in WW2!

I didn't think that Elton was born then! :p

I don't understand. I never said you were or were not a good person. I merely asked whether you thought you were. I think your abusive response is an indication that you don't want to answer that question. So, be honest, and say that you don't want to answer the question. Then I will know...
