I get your point. But did I not say from the start, to confirm the Spirit with the scriptures? I did. Meanwhile, much fruit has been revealed here in accusations. Bad fruit.

You gave the definition of "fraud" claiming that it was "intent to deceive" and "unjustifiability." But parents do not ring their hands contemplating evil to tell their children tales of Santa Claus. They do it out of love, like a nursery rhyme, and then give them gifts. It is a parable story of...

No, but rather that we are outside. The kingdom of God is within. The world is outer darkness.

Right on! And, by all means, we should continue in the scriptures--they are the words of Christ, which will not pass away. They are spirit. The error comes when men quench the Spirit, as did the Pharisees with the law.

You are not adhering to your own definition. Which must be why you didn't address why God does very much the same thing with the parables.

You apparently assume that God's word is under the providence of men. It's not. As for the Catholic church fathers...was Israel perfect in all of her ways, was David? How then is Christ his son? You forget that His strength is made perfect in weakness--even Catholic weakness. Nonetheless...

Even the original scriptures are one step away for the Source...but by your own words you as much as call the Source "nonsense" and seem to have something against getting things directly from God. Who would do that? I know who. Apparently it is by no coincidence that you go on to talk about...

Indeed it is so written. Except, it is He who waits, and we need not wait, for he stands at the door.

That is a great explanation. And thank you for mentioning "Walking in the Spirit", I was about to do the same. LOL surely there must be a translation out there that has those words translated as "Walk in the Library." :D

Except there is no "intent to deceive" or "unjustifiability." The intent is for good, all in fun...for children, until they are ready to hear a more complex truth. Has God not done the same?

Christmas and Easter may once have been pagan holidays, but not since the church fathers took them over claiming them for Christ. They are captured territory. But why stop there? All the kingdoms of the earth were once pagan...before God chose a people out of them that were not a people as a...

:) That's good! Yes, just because it says so, unless it is confirmed by God, these things are just so many words. Of course those passages are confirmed by God within the rest of scripture. But if one is doubtful about any one passage, why should the same word be any more convincing. An...

You seem to have missed the point. First you seem to agree, then you seem to disagree. As the inspired word of God, I am suggesting that one stick with the spiritual means by which it was inspired, rather than mull over the literary properties and the teachings of men in order to find...

Wow, that was QUICK! Here again, Christians debating over the meaning of scripture. Talk about a contradiction in terms! Kinda proves the point.

That you could possibly know that...is quotable. If nothing else, it says a lot about you. Fruit. Thanks!

So, is it your intention and advice not to believe anything that people claim they "know" from God, as if God no longer has interaction with people? What are you trying to say here?

:D Hahahaha, ho, ho, ho! That's a great question! I won't say I disagree, 'cause I don't...but there is another perspective that should be considered: Most loving parents soften the blow of many of life's harsh realities, first with some imaginary tale, like a parable meant for children, told...

Again... One can certainly make a case for the Son being different than the Father, or for the Son not being God, but rather the Son of God...for He did lower Himself. Such a case is clearly according to what is written. Absolutely. But the Spirit does not end where the words end in mere...

The answer that the Lord God gave, and the answer that Jesus gave, agree. But what you are saying does not agree. Since you are determined to school me, let's hear it from you.
