Like you?
I'm busy now. Can I ignore you some other time?
You can ignore all you want, like you do with 90% of the Bible
I’m glad to see you’re not letting your education get in the way of your ignorance
I said
lolol You cant do it. But yet you argue about it. That doesn't make any sense to a rational person.
I'm not a performing exegete I use my talents for the right reason and not the wrong one.
I said
ROFLOL It doesn't take a talent to define a word. You sure do have a lot of camouflage to cover your ignorance. Or at least you try hard to do it.
Look I'm just trying to find out if you have any idea of what your talking about.
I happen to know exactly what I'm talking about. So much so I feel no need to prove to you that I do.
I said
Its so sad to me to see people who argue a subject that they don't even know the meaning of the subject. They only assume they know because of some rumor the devil has put out there in public.

I agree. It wastes a lot of time when You have to go back to the Original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts and prove that even the Translations are adding and removing words and making changes to the Original message.
I found a website that does eXactly this. This website has shown Me a lot of things I never knew and answered a lot of questions that I never knew how to even ask.
I am glad to have found this forum that seeks the truth.

Luke 14:11- "For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."
I always thought this verse had something meaningful to say, if not in a religious sense, then simply about life. I don't know if I've ever "humbled myself" but I've certainly been humbled by life and accepted it. I don't know if that counts or not. Either way, I think it is true for believers and nonbelievers alike that if you accept your humility, you can be lifted.
This is from the Theologia Germanica, a work of anonymous authorship, published by Martin Luther in 1516. I think it describes the whole humbled/exalted thing pretty well. What do you guys think?
“Where men are enlightened with the true light, they renounce all desire
and choice, and commit and commend themselves and all things to the
eternal Goodness, so that every enlightened man could say: ‘I would fain
be to the Eternal Goodness what his own hand is to a man.’ Such men are
in a state of freedom, because they have lost the fear of pain or hell, and

the hope of reward or heaven, and are living in pure submission to the
eternal Goodness, in the perfect freedom of fervent love. When a man
truly perceiveth and considereth himself, who and what he is, and
findeth himself utterly vile and wicked and unworthy, he falleth into
such a deep abasement that it seemeth to him reasonable that all
creatures in heaven and earth should rise up against him. And therefore
he will not and dare not desire any consolation and release; but he is
willing to be unconsoled and unreleased; and he doth not grieve over his
sufferings, for they are right in his eyes, and he hath nothing to say
against them. This is what is meant by true repentance for sin; and he
who in this present time entereth into this hell, none may console him.
Now God hath not forsaken a man in this hell, but He is laying his hand
upon him, that the man may not desire nor regard anything but the
eternal Good only. And then, when the man neither careth for nor
desireth anything but the eternal Good alone, and seeketh not himself
nor his own things, but the honour of God only, he is made a partaker of
all manner of joy, bliss, peace, rest, and consolation, and so the man is
henceforth in the kingdom of heaven. This hell and this heaven are two
good safe ways for a man, and happy is he who truly findeth them.”
