Do you ever debate in public?
Because I know that in a street Bible study altercation, you would be stomped into a greasy theological puddle. What I mean is, I have met people around this city while not Christians had an amazing knowledge of the scriptures. Yet while they have this knowledge, they don't use it to benefit themselves spiritually. They use it to stealthy rope in an unsuspecting Christian into a perplexing situation. Bro, you couldn't walk away from them making the above comments. Because they see through all that, and they would wait until a crowd formed and were listening to you intently. Once you got going on your above thoughts they would swoop in for the kill. By the time they were done with you, there would be nothing left but a greasy spot.
Paul just casually making suggestions?
Because after all, Paul would of disqualified himself?
Hey, good luck with that.
