    What Do You Learn from Debate?

    How you got that nonsense out of a biblical clarification of proper use of context...well, yes, that is telling.

    Is the Bible literal or figurative

    And that is where you turn for the answer? Sorry, but linguistic rules are not God. The words, the ink, and literally the whole wide world...is a "creation", an "image." What do the linguistic rules say about those? Jesus clarified this whole matter, saying in no uncertain terms, "The words...

    Oh, that's precious! Good thing I only gave a word and not a snake.

    What Do You Learn from Debate?

    Beginning with "But every believer is indwelt by the Holy Spirit...", you have not accounted for babes verses mature within the body, and the perfect timing of God and those who build in His service. That is an immense hole in the works of the Holy Spirit for our time, leaving some "capable" and...

    This is another great point, not because it is true, but because it is mostly misunderstood. The perceived reality of men, is far from the actual reality of God. In this way, what is "actual" is likely not, and what is in or out of context, likely is in error. First, the only reality that is...

    What Do You Learn from Debate?

    Yes, and I will continue to be critical with one who does not know a quote of scripture from "a quote of scripture." But saying that what you say is based on scripture, does not necessarily mean it is based on scripture...especially when you come off like Nicodemus, to whom Christ answered...

    What Do You Learn from Debate?

    That was my way of not being as critical as is really called for. It was a warning. Your position is based on your own feelings and what you have apparently come to believe from your limited understanding, and you have made an occupation out of amplifying that limited resource; and whenever it...

    Ah, but you [conveniently] left out this part: ...that the evidence is written here and weighed into evidence. Repent, and be saved. I recommend it.

    What Do You Learn from Debate?

    Thank you for this...for it very much speaks to the problem we have here, as well as in the church as a whole. Indeed, in the same passage, Paul also addresses tongues and interpretations. But it would be a mistake to think that these topics are in the word of God as a guide to living in the...

    Why beat yourself twice? Once was enough.

    What Do You Learn from Debate?

    Although I have pointed out to you that I have done things according to the ways of the prophets and also of Christ, I will wait and let Him show you just how it is so. Too bad for you that you can't see it now, even when it is in black and white.

    You're starting to sound like a tattle tail.

    What Do You Learn from Debate?

    Just as Jesus is not an actual lamb, and just as He used and explained the need for understanding "all parables", referring also to the prophecy of God speaking "only" in parable to reveal the "dark sayings of old"...I was not saying that Paul referred to one of the classic parables. I was...

    Yeah, now you are so frazzled you don't even know who you are talking to, quoting someone else while accusing me. Sheesh!

    Sooo much wrong here. So much error and misunderstanding. Thought I would just quote it.

    What Do You Learn from Debate?

    I quote the scriptures, which are plain enough for God. Just sayin'. Yet you seem to have a problem with me when I do. Pretty obvious who your real beef is with.

    Great! Thanks for publicly vindicating me while showing yourself to be guilty of false accusations. I didn't see any comments of repentance however. Might want to do that. God takes that kind of serious.

    If you think I am afraid of the light, they you need to take heed that the light in you is not darkness. Test away. But if you make accusations and claims not written here, setting traps for what has been presented in holiness, then it is you who are suspect and will be counted with the...

    What Do You Learn from Debate?

    Certainly, since it is most relative to the OP in that much debate is performed by those who should learn to be silent and listen to the Head. One lays the foundation and another builds upon it. It was Jesus who claimed that His words were spirit while proving also not to be an actual lamb, but...
