David:
You speak of 'MY BIBLE' meaning yours, of course.
Of course he does - would you expect him to be
reading from YOUR BIBLE Lance?
Which is what? The dead sea scrolls?
Glad to see you writing again DavidM
You wield your sword competently, David. As I said elsewhere,
there are those
who hang on YOUR interpretation(s) both on this forum and in your
church.
And who might these be 'O wise one' from the
Northern Regions? I agree with
DavidM most of the time because he sees the same
Word by the same Spirit
I don't hang on ANY man's interpretation. IMO
which doesn't count for much in
your circle - hanging on men's interpretations is
what will cause your demise in
the last day.
Me, I see 'em for what they are; the constructions of a self-taught
man. (good
though they may be on occasion)
Self-taught huh! Stated by one who by his own
testimony is ignorant of and
does not KNOW the Teacher.
Why return simply to confuse some younger believer rather than
permitting
them to be taught by the Word and the Spirit?
Obtuse insight for sure. He is the listowner
- why shouldn't he return? Throwing
more vulnerable believers to the "incarnational"
wolves would not be loving or
caring would it?
At least you did receive a modest 'hand', if not a standing ovation,
from
the 'Iz corner'. That musta made ya feel good?
I'll submit a standing ovation from the judyt
corner and hope it makes DavidM
feel even better - not that he is moved by feelings
because if he were he would
have shut this down long ago since he is more
persecuted and maligned than
any of us. Why do you save your most
vindictive rhetoric for him Lance?? I
wonder about that. At this point I figure it
is because of his education and social
standing. You can put the rest of us in a corner
with the religious zealots, fundies,
women, and ignorant but DM seems to stick in your
craw for some reason.....
