Oh, I won't deny my share of LOUD conversations. But personal insults separate from the discussion and mocking another's intellect??? Never!! It's absurdly un-Christlike.

You are so pious.

The snake reference to me probably got things off to a bad start.

That was your decision to apply the word "Slithered" to a snake. It neither directly applies to a snake in the definition of the word, nor did it remotely enter my mind when I wrote it, may my soul be judged forever if I am lying. YOU made the decision to assume that I was calling you a snake and judged my motives and intent without ever hearing my heart.

What I said several day ago WAS NOT a snake reference! Nothing close.

You are a case...

You tell me that I've lost all credibility. Even used the word "zilch."

THEN, you try to psychoanalize me telling me about all your great studies in the field of psychology. I finally had enough of you dangling your supposed credentials in front of me. I then tell you that I would gladly and humbly apologize to you if you can produce ONE, just one evidence of credible achievement in that field of study.

Now you want to forget about it.

In fact, if you can produce one credible achievement in that field of study, I will not only humbly apologize, I will do something for you that you will be very impressed with.

Deal?

I used the term, "Oneness Pentecostal" just yesterday when asked about how I believed.

I also explained that I am not 100% in agreement with everything they believe.

My good brother, did I claim a degree anywhere? You seem to jump to conclusions, such as quickly proclaiming that Ravenhill is "Lost" while including the information that you can't judge him. I gotta admit, that was an interesting take!

I said, "Student of psychology". That means I study. YOU turned it into a degree that doesn't exist. At some point, hopefully I can show you one, but since I didn't claim it, don't have one, and still have a ways to go before I do, I won't be producing my degree at this time. But I AM a student.....exactly as I claimed.


Now.....the issue at hand.....why the excessive freedom in personal insults?

No degree?

But you can psycho-analyze me to be insecure? Was Napoleon, MacArthur insecure? Hahaha...

Anyway, you keep charging me with first one thing then another. Since nothing else has worked, now you are charging me with insults.

Show me the insult and I will be glad to apologize.

It was your choice, possibly based in delusion or judging too quickly, that I had a degree in psychology. I never came within a galaxy of claiming I had one.

I've already pointed out your insults, both here on the Forum and by PM. If you're not aware of what they are at this point, it'll do me no good to identify them again. And at this point, I no longer care. You are who you are and you've made it very clear. Under the guise of trembling with fear as you utter the words, you're concerned for our souls as we plunge to hell due to our lack of tongues. While I'm touched by your concern, my confidence will not be in anything I'm able or not able to do, only in the grace of God upon which I have placed my eternal hope.

As Paul wrote in Romans 8, "Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? Will God? No! He is the one who has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? Will Christ Jesus? No, for he is the one who died for us and was raised to life for us and is sitting at the place of highest honor next to God, pleading for us."

Your opinions of my eternity are worthless to me. You cannot accuse me for it is Christ who has given me right standing with Himself! You cannot condemn me because He is the one who died for me, not you.

But carry on with your rhetoric. It is, at least, entertaining.
