How about you......do you claim to be the Standard of Truth, Kevin?
Then on what basis do you declare. "To me, that
isn't logical at all." Are you not the std in this statement?
DAVEH: No....just common sense.
Do I claim to be? No never have. BUT I KNOW He who is!
JN 14:6
Are you a fulfillment of Proverbs 14?
get off the crooked paths.

It may seem right to you but be the way to DEATH
Pr 14 There is a way which
seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

DAVEH:
As I understand your position (and please correct me if I am
misunderstanding your position), many Christians (specifically you, in
this instance) believe that everything written in the Bible is
specifically applicable to Christians today. So, if a prophet of the
Bible used a technique of mocking, that means it is OK for you to do
the same thing. If a prophet of God in the Bible is commanded to go
preach on the streets, you assume that instruction applies to you as
well....is that correct, Kevin?
To me, that isn't logical at all. Just as what he compelled the
prophets of the OT to do was not necessarily applicable to the prophets
of the NT, what the Lord wants us to do today may or may not be what he
wants us to do today. It seems to me that the Lord over time has
commanded various people to do things that he may not have commanded at
a subsequent time or other peoples. Hope that makes some sense.....

NO
How so?

Yes, but where they "Contending for the faith"?
DAVEH: What do you think they were disputi9ng if it wasn't their
perspecdtive of the faith? Don't you think they were arguing the truth
as they saw it, perhaps in the same way it is done on TT occassionally?
Please show me where God admonished Paul, for his
"much contention"
DAVEH: My last post about admonishment was regarding the bickering (if
that's the proper word for it) Christians who Paul admonished.
If you were an apostle as was Paul and admonished me for arguing
about theology, I would pay heed. But I don't think you've even
claimed to be an apostle, Kevin. (Am I wrong on that?) From my
perspective you seem to be one who is contributing to the contention.
Why do you think Paul's admonishment not to contend (Titus 3:9) doesn't
apply to you? Isn't it just a matter of perspective? If another TTer
were to argue against your understanding of whatever doctrine, why do
you think you would be in the right and he would be in the wrong? Do
you sincerely believe you are right on all your points of doctrine, or
do you allow you may at times be wrong?
Show me where Elijah was admonished in the
scriptures for MOCKING.
In fact right after Elijah Mocking the prophets of
Baal, God answered his prayer.
DAVEH: And because some of the early prophets mocked with God's
blessing, you believe it is your right to do so as well? Isn't that
stretching logic a bit beyond it's breaking point?
God Mocks
Prov 1:26 Because I have called, and ye
refused... But ye have set at nought all
my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also
will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh
