Thank you!
I laughed at you with that comment because Philip just joined and you diagnosed him with dementia?
Are you for real? lol
you shouldn't laugh at mental illness.

There's no excuse for that.

No doubt this is @Eli1 putting the thumbs up to @Magenta have a good old laugh about mental illnesses to.

I remember @Magenta attacking me because I said someone may be suffering with dementia, well it just so turns out he admitted he keeps reliving his childhood at 86 years old
Which is another sign of dementia.

Hmm I wonder if @Magenta will rebuke @Eli1 for laughing about dementia.

She doesn't know yet that @Eli1 was the one laughing about it in the same thread she pulled me up about it.

But she does now.

But somehow I don't think she will, seeing as she's to busy having a laugh about my mental health.

You could say the pair of them are hypocrites, who speak nonsense 😊

Bro you’re all over the place again.
So hold on a second, you’re admitting that you have mental health issues?
Well why didn’t you say so to begin with? This changes a lot of things.

There‘s 2 other members here who admitted that they have had and continue to have problems with depression and that one of them doesn’t see well and is legally blind, and I don’t comment on a lot of what they have to say except when they request for prayers.
The last thing you want to tell a mental patient, is advice over the internet.

For people who have come to this forum and admitted this, my only advice has been to leave the internet and get in touch with people in real life, family and the doctors.

your in no position to evaluate me. You can't even remember your own character.

I suggest you go and look in the mirror 😊

This response tells me that you’re trolling.
I take things at face value, including your improved spelling.

All that said, what it boils down to is a few textual critics and scholars think the long ending of Mark isn't original. That's not exactly a wide sampling. These scholars are also the ones who think Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are the best and most reliable. Just because they sit in lofty ivory towers doesn't mean they're right.
I expected a reply like this.

I believe qualified scholars. I was around academia long enough to know that scholars disagree about many things that can't be definitively proven. One has to chose whom they believe.

To suggest Peter promoted false doctrine is actually appalling.
Peter himself did not promote false doctrine. Those promoting false doctrine are believers who see Peter's mistakes that went on record to be used as their role model when assuming Peter made no mistakes in his early days.

As scripture reveals Paul was still baptizing individuals in water over 25+ years after the command was first given. The requirement to be baptized in water was never rescinded.

I love you providing the chapter and verses to verify what you stated.

Now I can be corrected by the Word of God... (if that were the case)...


Thirdly, Paul was given a dispensation of God that was ‘kept secret since the world began’ and so could not be the same message associated with water baptism (Rom 16:25, 1 Cor 9:17, Gal 1:11-12).

Thank you...

Be nice to Eli! He’s a sweetheart. :love:(y)
It’s okay, I think he’s trying to troll a little bit but I’m a world war 2 veteran. :p
He wants to be vague when it benefits him or wants to be specific when it benefits him.
Now in real life, this behavior is seen in lawyers who want every advantage to win some money but since there’s nothing to win here, it can be interpreted as trolling.

Some people, if they were Eve?
They would have told the Lord to try to be nice to the serpent..

Because?

Being nice is a virtue, and God loves niceness.

how can you be nice to someone who repeatedly makes a wrong assessment of you character 🤔
How can you NOT be nice to Eli?! If we love God, we will love Eli.

What we say, think and do is to be done as if we have done it to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Be angry and sin NOT. Take a break… cool off. Come back when you can be nice.
