This will be the last post on this topic. What I meant was clear as can be, as proven by the fact you left my underlining intact. My point wasn't about the point he was making but about the sloppy manner he used to try to communicate it, which was further explained to him, not only by myself...

Of course. It wasn't prophecy or any other specific particular that I was commenting on. I'm simply saying that people have manner in which they do things and a way of thinking that isn't simply turned on or off because they changed subjects. If you agree with someone on practically everything...

Right, well don't take what I said too far. To be clear, I don't deny that people are prone to various kinds of inconsistencies, especially in regards to particular details. It's the wholesale, large scale sort of inconsistency that you don't generally find in people. This is because people...

Not at all. His current standing in my mind is not set in stone. If he repents, so will I. So long as he persists in his foolishness, I will persist in my attitude towards him as it fitting, proper and just. Further, I have little doubt that my comments probably are of less value TO HIM as his...

Okay, so first of all the phrase "sins he led THE NATION to commit" should be enough to establish my point, right? But even if that weren't the case and it was entirely the king himself that God was punishing via Babylon, a single exception only serves to prove the rule and so you're argument...

Thank you for biblically establishing my point.

The fact is that I don't know you except for the interactions I have seen here on TOL. If you had been substantive and meaningfully responsive I'd have no problem with you whatsoever. I have the patience of Moses with people who ask real questions and are substantively responsive, whether they...

Gary, you have no discernment whatsoever. No one would believe you because most everything you believe you believe for basically no reason. This idiotic question is as good an example as anything. I didn't call you a liar merely because you claimed not to understand a point. There are all kinds...

That's an interesting observation. I have learned over the years that such inconsistency in a person's behavior is usually an illusion. Most of the time, people are remarkably consistent. They might be consistently wrong but consistent nonetheless. Meaning that if you think you've found one...

Where in that passage does Paul discect the intellect from the spirit? Where, Gary? Please tell me how you read that passage and understood it without the use of your intellect? So says the moron named Gary K. There is NOTHING that can be discerned outside of a thinking mind, Gary! NOTHING...

There's a simple fix for that. That's because you're vain enough to think that it's you I care to influence. You misunderstand. I do not care what you think, Gary. I don't care about anything you think, say or believe because you've demonstrated that you have neither intelligence nor wisdom...

Thank you for biblically establishing my point.

When you claim not to understand a point that no one could fail to understand then that's plenty of grounds to be called a liar. You understood the point from the very first time you read it. Everyone here knows it.

Of course they are. They weren't intended to be but, as stated, they were exactly that, which was and continues to be my point. If you want people to take you seriously then you should pay attention to the words you use so as not to SOUND like an idiot. How you say something can be every bit as...

The fact that I apprehend and believe the following.... God exists and is the Creator of all things and He is perfect, holy, and just. We, having willfully done evil things and rebelled against God, who gave us life, deserve death. Because God loves us, He provided for Himself a propitiation...

Having other nations rule over Israel was only done to punish the entire nation, not the king in particular. Some kings of Israel were so deplorable for so long that Israel stopped temple worship to the point that they forgot that the Torah even existed. (See II Kings 22).

No you didn't! You didn't even think through what you were saying at all! I guarantee that you think that I was refuting the point you made!

Yes, I did. I put the two contradicting statements in bold letters to begin with, which was plenty clear enough to begin with and then explained what I was getting at further in a later post. His point ISN'T the point! As I explained very clearly to him! The point is that, regardless of...

Your error has to do with dissecting the intellect from your spirit. God Himself is both Spirit and Reason itself. "Reason" is literally what the word "logos" means. The two are neither mutually exclusive nor at odds with one another.

(y) What's the difference? (Hint: there isn't one.) Those instances have been explained to you, without response from you except to ignore that it was done. You seriously need to read more carefully. Romans 1 is a great place to start but if you want a more complete biblical treatment of the...
