You repeat this silliness as though you are having a conversation with an atheist. Is that what you think I am? Do you think it's going to become relevant if you repeat it often enough? Honestly, Garee, this is like trying to have an intelligent conversation with a three-year old. You just aren't seeing the absolute irrelevance of your comments. It's like the reality of the situation is hidden from you.
No, I honor you as well educated a step brother in Christ.... a blessing
Atheist don't spend time defending the faith of Christ that defends Christians, or at least I would think they do not? If I do offend I would hope for your forgiveness.
The reality of the hiding of spirual truths is the situation that seems to is hidden from
you?
We disagree. That does not make me a non-Christian any more than it makes you a non-Christian. Do you get it now?
I get it. It would seem we use the tool 2 Corinthians 4:18 as one of the spiritual gifts of interpretation a little differently from each other (fingerprints ).
If so, then kindly stop using arguments like "the truth is hidden from the natural man". While true in and of itself, it is irrelevant in our conversation.
Metaphors as signs are relevant in parables. If it refers to sign gifts, the subject matter, I think it would be relevant
What does the sign of tongues confirm? And not what the purpose of prophecy confirm (believing God)? Faith or no faith. The eternal not seen or the temporal seen ? A sign as a curse or a sign as a blessing?
