Is it sin or temptation, David? I do not allow for pride to continue -- it resides in my flesh.

You have denied this, in the past. John, I have never put forward my perfection or sinlessness ever, so I don't know why you are trying to make this all about me. God is the sole judge of my walk, not me, not you, not anybody but Jesus Christ.
I am talking about doctrine - biblical teaching tells me DM is a sinner right this very minute !!!! John wrote: > What is your position today?

I have maintained many times that the testimony of my wife and those who love me and know me is that I am a very humble man. My wife actually says that I am the wisest and smartest man she has ever met in addition to being humble. That is a very difficult combination, I know, so I assume she is mistaken, but presumably she is mistaken about my intelligence rather than humility. :-)
You're better than a can of Vicodin, man!! You quote a women who is hot for you and that is to mean
something to me? LOL big Dave. How about asking Christine about my humility. Would not she be a better evaluator? John wrote: > 3. (see para # DAvid's comments below).

You are resisting being pinned down here and now -- and how did I "hurt your daughter?" Mayber

Your equating DM commentary with the bibilical message. David Miller wrote: >> Please, John, don't talk about me on this list. >> Represent your views or represent the Lord. >> The choice is yours. Just do not represent David >> Miller. Please. Is this too much to ask? John wrote: > Yes, on a discussion forum, it really is. This discussion forum is to talk about Truth, not to talk about list members. Do you think this is a gossip forum? MODERATOR? A little help here please.
Gossip, David?? You said "gossip." I am talking about representing your teachings here on TT. Peace be with you.
