WRONG again, Scotty.
I don’t pit verses against each other as YOU do. I show that NOT every verse is to be absolutized and turned into a doctrine. I show you the lunacy of what YOU are doing. You need to take ALL verses that deal with a subject to formulate and develop the doctrine.
Okay...regarding you pitting scripture against scripture without reconciling them, and then projecting that on me after saying that is lunacy and a lie unless it agrees. Which, is also hypocrisy.
So, you have defended the early church fathers and your fellows who have followed in their zeal, saying that they acted according to Christ's plans for His church and they had the Holy Spirit and therefore were correct in their dealings, specifically regarding the bread and the wine and it literally being the body and blood of Christ...or something to that effect. You get my point...which was actually your point, but me just paraphrasing it.
I then came back with the fact that scripture does not specifically say that the Holy Spirit would guide the church leaders clear of the gates of Hades, but that under the greater umbrella of scripture, that God would pour out His spirit upon all flesh...good flesh and otherwise, all: "
None is good, no not one." Which, not only have you not reconciled, but it takes the legs out from under your entire position.
And then, because you kept on in your usual rudeness with multiple comebacks repeating the same defense, I gave you passage after passage, explaining that what you were considering should be strength and power in the Holy Spirit, should instead be "
weakness" and "
lowliness." And then you went on with the same line including "hierarchy" and "leadership", for which I pointed out was "
the way of the gentiles" "
but not so with you." Of which you assumed to have won every exchange, just because you had a comeback, regardless of the fact that none reconciled the scriptures that should be reconciled.
In addition, it was I who explained to you how His "
strength is made perfect in weakness" and that the "
blindness" of the church fathers was foreshadowed by Israel's own similar type of blindness. That in spite of this, the early church fathers had accomplished to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth.
But you have not conceded that each of the scriptures that I presented do overshadow every scripture that you have presented, showing the early church fathers and their followers to have been acting presumptuously and in error and blindness, worthy of no position of hierarchy, but of scorn just as was the case with Israel, who did not concede either but after killing the prophets, crucified Christ, and then as you yourself have testified of, they followed Peter instead of the spirit of God which was offered to them as "
a choice of life and death", just as it had been offered to Israel.
But you have reconciled nothing except what you have picked out that suits what you have been caught up in and have believed with the same zeal that crucified Christ.
And yet there is still time. What will you do?
