Some Christians have great abilities to gather and retain info. They will sit like an elephant on the ant to smother the message the ant was given. But elephants do not necessarily a Bible interpreter make.

Don, the above is an absolute dumpster fire. You need to take a moment after you post your thoughts and reread them. They might make sense to you as you type, but the final product is a mess.

Dom addresses surface reading and struts about proclaiming 'I've won'. But readers will note that he has not addressed the points made from reading between the lines, to show them wrong. Those doing so demonstrate incomplete understandings of interpretive methods, which sitting on the ant is trying to compensate for.

The one ring show keeps repeating the same act and the elephant repeats the methodology which has worked in the past, sitting on the little guy.

The one-ring show has learnt that repetition works. Truth cannot be defeated because God is truth. But plz Dom, show the reasoning behind the claim of post 1 wrong, if you can. Then you will have demonstrated the ability to use that which the elephant does not use in surface reading ability.

I have proved my position in numerous posts. Also dealt with B. Smith and Pastor Doe's altercation. I have explained everything in detail. I don't see how I missed anything other than Pastor Doe using Canadian law to swear out a no contact order to keep B. Smith from entering the premises. Other than that I believe I nailed everything down pretty well. Also you would be the one ring horse and pony show. due to everyone of your posts deal with the same tired arguments. Like I have said before, if you even act half the way you do here, there is no way a church would be careless enough to fellowship you. Let alone hand you the keys to the pulpit to drive it up and down the block.

Yes, I have. You teach that God is unable to clarify His thoughts to His believers. Therefore the Apostle Paul knowing this allowed his churches to pretty much believe whatever they wanted. But, since all false doctrine is stupid, and is question begging, your teaching presents contradictions with the Pauline epistles. Paul states in Corinthians that concerning head coverings, what he taught was the only teaching practiced in 100% in all the churches 1 Corinthians 11:16. Paul goes on to say no one is to be contentious over "his" teaching on head coverings. Is head coverings a "one" teaching? One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism? B. Smith and Pastor John Doe need to figure it out. Paul commands that no one is to be contentious with what he taught. So, you have an Apostle laying down the gavel on any arguments concerning what he just taught.

Don, how about you just stick with the vacuum ministry?

Does Paul contradict my views on Romans 14? No. But your view of Romans 14 is lays bleeding in your hands.

Because I believe that God isn't Mithra. I also believe that I'm not in a mystery religion. I am not a Druid or a Gnostic who believes God deals with His children in the abstract. Matthew 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. Jesus' statement of who was to understand and know the mystery of the Kingdom was His devoted followers. Jesus didn't speak to His disciples in riddles, and when the didn't understand He would explain it to them. Acts 2:5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. These devout men understood the Apostles speaking in tongues. But in Acts 2:13 we have "others" mocking the same Apostles because all they heard were babblings. Two groups Jesus addresses in Matthew 13, His followers, and the others. The others get riddles they cannot understand. The followers get full clarity and explanation. Sadly to you Don, the Bible is just a pages and pages of riddles. Since that seems to be blatantly apparent, you teach a doctrine that is befitting to your Inclusionist agenda.

It may then be that you will even convince yourself that it is really true. What chapter are these Gandalf and Hobbit found? Oh, right. These are fictional, just like your fictional 'disproving' of my conclusions. When you come back to reality, then we'll wait to see your real talents finally put to use. But, pray tell, why have you not yet used these talents which you actually have, and have not yet disproven the means I use to provide a conclusion of Ro14? Plz, detail this, so I will know what you talk about.
