That wasn't the issue. Did you actually examine the context? I was being assigned a view
that I do NOT hold and never suggested the view that was being insinuated as mine.

This is what I said:

top line in my quote above. And you come back with this nonsense?
My question is legitimate. And my description of what the other poster said WAS nonsense.

So, where is this "sneering insult" that you speak of?

How would you feel if another poster made a claim about what you believe and it wasn't close to what you believed?
I know what you said, though it seems you have not comprehended what I said.

Your final question is laughable given how you treat the beliefs of others.

I certainly comprehended what you wrote. Now whether that was what you were trying to communicate is another question.

Go ahead and laugh. So what?

I treat the beliefs of others the SAME WAY the Bereans treated what Paul taught them. They searched the Scriptures daily to see if what Paul/Magenta/CV5/etc said was true.

If other posters cannot quote verses that SAY what they SAY, then they are incorrect and believe a false teaching.

Since you disagree with much of what I've posted, where are the verses that say what you claim? Or say the OPPOSITE of what I say?

I cannot imagine how anything can be DEAD without first having had life.
OK, I guess my comment was more than BC could handle. But it is clear that he couldn't explain how something could be DEAD without first being ALIVE.

iow, to DIE means to be ALIVE prior to death.

Or, iow, life precedes death. Every time.

This question is irrelevant. EVERY believer receives the Holy Spirit WHEN they believe. Eph 1:13,14 and Gal 3:2,5.
Matthew 7:22-23
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.


No Holy Spirit.


Acts 19:2-3
2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

"This question is irrelevant. EVERY believer receives the Holy Spirit WHEN they believe. Eph 1:13,14 and Gal 3:2,5. "

Hey.. that's for me is not what those two scriptures mean. " Day of Pentecost " On that day were they not all saved? Did they not according to what you said already have the sweet holy Spirit? Or were they waiting for it/Him..the promise. Its a promise only for believers. For me I don't care Christ or GOD said He would give the holy Spirit to them that ask.. SO ASK!
