I have had worse days. My youngest granddaughter, one of our few visitors these days of Covid 19 spent the night last night so she could clean our apartment for us this morning. She also worked almost a ¼ of our jigsaw puzzle for us... as if we did not want work at it in our slow easy way. LOL...

Will this kind of talk win many converts. Perhaps all of his 12 closest followers could have been called cowards when they ran away as those sent to lay hands on Jesus led the Lord him away, but Jesus said nothing of it. There is "a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;"!

My friend, I certainly hope you do work better with your brothers out on the Pacific.

No! I see it rather a much different issue which I won't state here.

I agree!

If I am understanding your question correctly, it really is none of your business! I will say that you were part of the reason and even given that I won't answer you on the public forum beyond what I have already posted.

For such a smart fellow, sometimes you are not very smart at all!

I was sorry to include you but I could not do one and not the other. I would not and could not read what he wrote or what you wrote because of the length. To participate in a thread I like to be able to read it all carefully. This, for me, was beyond my ability and that is not stretching things...

To the two worst offenders @Grailhunter @ReChoired here on this thread who as I see it certainly broke the following rule and ruined what could have been a very good thread: Rule amendment: No flooding the forum. If your post stretches over multiple screens it may be too long. Needing to sift...

Why must you be so confrontational? Is this an important point... to establish that someone cannot set or even suggest boundaries for a thread he starts on this forum?

He is standing by the letter of the forum rules/law here rather than considering the purpose of the one wrote the OP. People can do that. I believe I understand what you wanted: A simple statement anything in scripture that seemed contradictory or paradoxical to anyone would I believe suited...

What you wanted was a polite loving discussion and unfortunately it is easier to ask for it than to get it. Sorry!

Exactly! You should learn how to share your knowledge with others IMHO.

You are still insisting on arguing the point. I am not. You misunderstood my exact meaning and presumed that I misunderstood yours. Perhaps I did. I am sorry if I misunderstood you.

I am justifying God and any person who is following precisely the lead of the Holy Spirit. People bearing the label Christian may not always follow so precisely for not good reasons, but I cannot stop them from doing that. If they make an error and I see it, I am certainly able to pray for them...

God has given me something, a gift, and any glory for it belongs to Him. What I do is obey... sometimes... but sometimes I have been disobedient. He's not finished with me yet! Praise His name!

Is it more important to please God or to win an argument. I was not arguing with you or anyone else. Did you read the last sentence in the OP carefully? @BarnyFife said: "Does anyone else have any examples of passages that seem to contradict each other, but are actually both quite true?" To...

While I agree essentially with what you have derived from you reading, I do not agree that it is simply a matter of actually reading each word. An atheist and many Christians could read the same verses carefully and still miss the point that you made. I purposely quoted verse 1 as well as verse...

Hmmm? I do believe that God having spoken has limited Himself in some things. For example when He has made a promise to man, He cannot break His promise. What God has spoken is the correct answer for each and every situation which can happen. We cannot do so speak like that in our fleshly flawed...

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: ...a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;" Ecc 3:1,7 "When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus...
