I came to discuss a topic.
I'm actually interested in the topic.
If anyone has interest in discussing the topic, please, let's discuss the topic.

Circular reasoning fallacy.
I was saying, "Yes, you disagree. I know. Now, you have many posts you can interact with--I am believing Scripture as far as I can tell--convince me of the wrongness of any of the views I've shared, and the rightness of yours. You could help me. Then I can see things your way. The 'right' way. I spent time sharing my views, the ones you disagree with, and they are all there for you to interact with. What are you waiting for?"

My statement to him, which you objected to, had a context.
If taken out of context, maybe you would've had a reason for objecting, "That's a logical fallacy," but, again, in context, since I'm pointing him to my statements, and asking him to interact with any one he chooses, it seems unwarranted. Just my opinion.

You don't understand Scripture.
If you understood Scripture, you would know what this means and how it applies to your errant doctrines.
Fortunately, I do not see anybody buying this snake oil that you are selling. Quite a relief.......:sneaky:

Jde 1:11
Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

You're free to cite anything I've prayed about and shared, and address it.

No commentary to offer? Understandable given the foregoing.
If you want to raise a topic of your own, go ahead and start a thread.
Who's stopping you?
But you haven't.
You're here, in my thread.
So pick any one of my statements, and address it.
Isn't that how this works?

Don't need to. This debate is over.
Identities have been exposed for who they are.
Sound doctrine has been confirmed.
Bogus doctrine thrown into the trash.

Its all over but the crying.

OK I look forward to not seeing any more of your replies.

How about this: from now on, when I see replies that address the topics here, I'll reply, but, when I see replies that don't address the topics, they won't get replies (unless it's a newcomer, etc).

You simply won’t get a reward for ‘bad labour’. Again, you can’t “lose” what you haven’t received.


These two verses are in the same judgment context. There will be no opportunity for your work, having been rewarded in verse 14, to become worthy of burning in verse 15. Your work either abides or is burned, but not both.
Suffer loss of what?

If you have something of substance to add, something addressing the topic, go ahead.
It’s a public forum. I will add as I see fit. Your attempt at controlling the conversation is not going to work.

You made a simple statement: "I believe scripture." That comes across as, "I believe what the Bible says and you don't." Most Christians "believe scripture."

You seem to have a problem with creeds and confessions. Do you think they are another testament, or simply a way to express and explain Scripture?

He made a similar comment toward me something like, "I believe the NT, do you?" Good times.

I don't see anywhere in the thread where I mentioned anything about creeds or confessions. If you want to make a thread about it, I'd encourage you to do so.

The reason I said, "I am trying to track with the NT. Are you?" was to ascertain whether you were an unbelieving Jew, or what, because your name is a Hebrew letter, and the things you were saying seemed ambiguous (not explicitly NT--like, either a believer or an unbeliever could have said them).

It's only a happy coincidence (or is it?) that my name, which is just a nic, is also Hebrew letter, and actually it's full version is two Hebrew letter's, Pey and Mem, which also by coincidence (or is it?) is a picture of water flowing from a mouth.

OK So, at least you understand that I didn't mean that insultingly. Sorry if I insulted you--I didn't mean to at all.
