Claiming Denomination

I just simply asked you to produce your credentials since you were so intent in trying to psychoanalize me. You kept it up until it was quite natural to assume that you had some kind of credentials.

Now, pressed for those credentials, you have...what's the word you used for lacking credibility....

Was it "ZILCH?"

This is funny.

I've already pointed out your insults, both here on the Forum and by PM.

I've asked you to point out the insults. Calling your doctrine hellish and the translation of the bible that you use as garbage, as any egg head with a typewriter can produce, is not insulting to you.

Now you are charging me of insulting you by PM.

I did not PM you. You PMed me. In fact, I did not even respond to the last horrible PM that you sent me.

Tell you what, to show you how fair I am. I will give you the first opportunity to reveal the PMs, both of mind and yours. Then folks can judge for themselves who is being insulting and disparaging.

Now, if you don't do it. I will. So, go ahead and reveal your PMs. I thought about responding to the last PM diatribe about an hour ago but decided that I would not get down there with you.

If you're not aware of what they are at this point, it'll do me no good to identify them again.

Would it be anything like "Pompous, condescending, controlling, on and on with such charaterizations? These are the words by which you charaterized me by including many others such as one with low self esteem, unsure of self. Actually, I did not pay any attention to most of those insults.

But, feel free to disclose mine. If I insulted you, the psychoanalyst, or disparaged your profession, I will be happy to apologize.

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

All of that is true. I reaffirm the truth in God that it is true.

due to our lack of tongues.

I've made this charge at least a half dozen times or more. Here again you have proven I am right each time.

The truth is, I never said that you or anyone else was going to hell for the lack of tongues.

Actually, I don't thing that a single thing that you have said anywhere can be trusted at all.

That is no insult. I am just speaking what I have causally observed.

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.

I'm not telling you where to place your confidence, but I suggest to all who might be reading these words that the Word of God is the only place you can place your confidence. Opinions and theories will vanish like cotton candy when the rain comes.

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."

Of course Christ will not condemn you. He came not into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved...Jn 3:17. You have one to condemn you if you have not obeyed it. That's the Word of God.

Your opinions of my eternity are worthless to me.

OK...

Sorry you took it that way. I only have one standard which I apply to myself and to those who are my auditors....the WORD of God.

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.

We agree there.

I did not die for you. That is why I leave everything to the final judge. Meanwhile, I have no option but to preach the ONLY plan of salvation whereby men can be saved.

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

I will leave the entertainment up to the psychologist among us.
