How you can't see that as 1) a gauntletted fist in the face of very dedicated people to the Lord who spent hard earned money to know Him better and 2) absurd posturing ("I am special" - "You are not") that we cannot easily if not impossibly take seriously/credibly; frankly is beyond me. Indeed, all you have left is you and whoever your Jesus is. You are in a delusional world all your own because of the few of you who exist, you can't even agree amongst yourselves because each of you has his own personal supposedly special-god-given-take on truth. We tend to have special places for special people and I have no problem whatsoever with my taxes going to help them.

Who is the posturer, I will only say one thing and no longer bother to read your posts. 2 billion believers including you contradict the first principle of your religion. That YHWH your God is one.

All the learning in the world comes to this? Idolatry? Then you would
correct your elder in the faith? Oy, what a chochem!

And good luck to your thread. I see how many want to go over trinity with you. What you gonna talk about? I would say another blasphemy here, but it would be my own demise. Sooner demise.

Er, you already said you were done. Let your yes be yes.

Even if what you had to say were noteworthy, didn't you just undo it by being double-minded?

Ten, or one-hundred and twenty or a thousand fifty one or whatever the actual number is, is difficult to take without several large grains of salt. I just cannot agree with you that God is so impotent as all that. He has given us John 1:1 and many other passages that give us great pause in coming up with something conclusive as you are trying to purport.

I told you that you do understand, you proved it again.

You have so much to learn Lon. Two billion people can be wrong because 90% of them let there church think for them. If I was not special to the one that counts, I would not have this feeling of complete contentment in what he has taught me. And what more he will bring to me.





Psalm 1[/color] and Job 28:28

Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Joh 4:23 "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.

I love the God of my Lord Jesus Christ

No, Keypurr is telling you... your on the wide road of the many(billions)! Not the narrow and few!

Paul
He said I actually understood, and proved it.

It is truly sad to me that you think Jesus only capable of saving a couple of thousand people. Only those few of you without the education then?

Why did He bother with rich ol' Matthew (Levi)? Why did He go to an incredibly educated Saul personally? Your theology is truly mind-boggling. I'm still in a bit of shock there are people like you on the planet who really believe this stuff that you made up all on your own without batting an eye when selling it.

If you were a remedy salesman at my door with your home-made ware, I'd tell you there are much better products by scientists out there that actually have degrees for cold ailments, sore muscles and the like.

There are doctors and there are quacks. You seem to think the quacks are the guys working in the hospital for some reason, and you actually believe it.

How in the world you can think to be a theologian, I'll never know. We obviously come from two different countries. I'd always heard education was one of the more important things for a strong country.

It seems, if I really wanted to learn something, I'd go to school for that particular thing. Somehow, you have it in your mind, that it is completely opposite with reading an English bible, learning Hebrew or Greek, or comparing your answers with men who have learned these things.

Truly mind boggling.

We have to remember that brother P. boasts to have paid 20K in taxes this past year….this just has to translate into a high intelligence quotient regarding scriptural comprehension…he must know what he is talking about…don’t you think?

What degree did Peter have? How did they know so much without an education from a college? You have no clue Lon. Knowledge comes from many places, not just school. God will give to those who sincerely seek him. You do not need a degree to learn about God, all you need is an open mind and a loving heart and he will do the rest. That Lon you have not learned yet or you would not look down on those have. I agree that a formal education is a plus, but it is not needed.
No, you do not understand me, nor will you.

You know, every cult started says the same thing. Why, do you suppose, each had legal problems in this country and those same uneducated and poor followed them? You are setting yourself up for duped. I've never seen the scripture you refer to that despised education like you do.
