I see, & your "comebacks" automatically qualify as "legitimate response"?? Typical hypocrisy from the Jeffrey dugout! Finally something we can agree on, "waste of time." Moving right along....

I mean, in one response, you decried being called a Pharisee in a post that did not have the word anywhere near it! Are you still living 5 posts ago? That's your response?

Ughhh, you fella's have referenced the "legalism/pharisee" issue ad nauseum. Does it matter if it was 1 or 5 posts ago? Or, are we now restricted to only referencing terms mentioned in the previous post? Absurd.....

Eisegesis? Oh puhhhleaze. You've probably been taught jewelry was wrong since your days of youth and you consider yourself a great defender of those "truths," trying hard to prove your points. The example I gave you was almost a verbatim example from a hermeneutic textbook. If you disagreed, you should state why, not just "too much liberty yada yada yada."

Wrong again Jeffrey. I did not come to pentecost until I was about 28 yrs. old. I've sincerely studied & examined the claims in light of close scrutinization of the Word...which is the ONLY reason that I reject ornamentation! The Bible says so & I've got enough brains to believe it...oughta' try it sometime! Regarding taking your liberties, here's a little advice: You guys cannot just make up your own Bible! It speaks for & defines itself [exegetical principle, while you're referencing it!].

"not this, but this" is the language syntax of the verse. Pull out a few exegetical commentaries and you'll see others having the same "eisgetical" opinion.

Hmmm, I'd be curious to see where the actual Greek syntax mentions "not this, but this,"....Ooops, it doesn't! That's found in the 23rd chp. of Jeffrey's imagination...& you're talking to ME about hermeneutics??????

This is why we return to dealing more with you than your words. You deflect, deflect, deflect. Quite annoying.

And you explain away, explain away, explain away..."quite annoying" indeed....next....

Turn you binoculars around for once. May help!

Take the Word of God for what is says for once, "N-O-T with gold, pearls...." May help! See ya' around...........
