Assuming anything just makes an ass out of u and me.

I'd like to see a day where people don't assume anything and would instead ask questions to get answers. That would be super rad. I bet it would cut down on a lot of the superfluous arguing and bickering that goes on here. Then again, without the interpersonal nastiness this place thrives on, it would be mighty quiet around these parts.
I have a dream.... of a day when the Ass and the Ewe can lie down together.

I have been staying away from the BDF. To much drama here for my mellow soul.
As I said recently, failing comprehension is rife in some threads, but I do so enjoy constructive discussions. Theatrical, dramatic, extreme accounts of things that aren't worth responding to are best left to Christ, that's just where they're at on their spiritual walk with Christ.

You don't understand the biblical term "sound doctrine" ?
I once posted a good video on it... but you wouldn't watch it because it was about John Wimber.

Please refer to my earlier comment about going blind. I do the best I can with what I've got to work with, but I appreciate the heads up. Too bad there's a time limit on editing a post or I'd go fix it.
Don't ever sweat our teasing about that stuff. We all screw up so badly.... and we all have been begging for an extension of the editing cutoff. It just ain't gonna happen, so we all learn that none of us can type.

I did see that after I posted what I did. I am sorry to hear of your vision problems. Do you take anything like Lutein for eye health support?

OfficerMayo, a off topic question you made me think when you said you needed a big print Bible on what Paul said in Galatians 6:11 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. I wonder if he was going blind? Have you tired a Go bible? You can pick the book and chapter you want and listen to it although it doesn't go to a specific verse. Be weary of price gouging though on google lol.

He said the longer he attended Seminar, the sounder, and sounder, and sounder , and sounder, and sounder, and sounder, and sounder his doctrine became.

I am asking to which ones you specifically refer. You know, like I was in the thread about multiple wives, where a couple of guys are trying to say there is Biblical support for it, yet they cannot give any Scripture to show this support. They pretend those they do give support the morality of polygamy, whereas polygamy is only being describes and not prescribed as they would desire. So after all their shenanigans and being caught in all their lies they will pull out the Scripture where they will not suffer a woman to teach, as if I we were in church, and I was one of their wives and they had some kind of authority over me.

I don't think they payed attention to when Priscilla (in Acts) and another taught Apollos about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Priscilla being a woman.

Now you have lost me? I don't know what you got from that guy? I don't even remember what he said ...best I remember he sounded like a typical mainstream TV preacher ? Seminar has nothing to do with sound doctrine .... The term "sound" is the same word used for "healing" or "to be made whole" in many places in the gospel accounts. I agree many religious institutions has twisted the word to mean some form of dead legalism or works of the flesh.

Well the core of the gospel (good news) is justification by faith in Christ apart from the works of the law of Moses ... do you teach a believer is yet under portions of the law of Moses ...example ..10 commandments or other laws contained in the OT?
Please refer to the thread about the 4th Commandment. I don't care to retype what all I've said there. Thanks for understanding.

What is "sound", to most people, is what they have been taught is sound. What John meant was the longer he was subjected to that kind of indoctrination, the further and further from God he was actually lulled and lured.... deeper and deeper into esoteric religion-ism.

Well you can base your understanding on a that guy if you want ...I have spent years and many tears to study the bible for myself ...I know what sound doctrine is ...I don't need to watch a video of a guy who claims he knows what it is not ... did he ever teach you what it is or only what its not?

Thanks for the tip!

Could you possibly list the subject that we CAN discuss? I find this funny because I belong to a few pages on FB that discuss Bible issues and there's nobody getting their feelings hurt or accusing those with whom they disagree as trying to be the King of the Hill.


This comes to mind by Rudyard Kipling, funny I didn't know he was speaking about CC. :)


If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

No, that is one thing John never did. He just never felt there were too many things about which he could stand up and declare he knew it all, and that his mission on Earth was to enlighten the rest of us.

I read some of your post there ...I ask a pretty simple and basic question that any bible student should understand goes to the foundation of the gospel ...a simple answer would have fulfilled the biblical requirement to be ready to give a answer ... But since you avoid the issue, I will assume you cannot "answer"

First..who are you? second ..on a thread about "personal interpretation"...why would you find it odd that the issue of "sound" doctrine would be raised and discussed. I don't think the bathroom comment was called for or very godly
