Claiming Denomination

See, you can't READ!

I gave you a definition even though you were not willing to supply one yourself.

I then, by that definition left no doubt....except in your own mind.

Did I read on another thread that you went to bible school?

I'm gonna stop here and ask you a serious question before we go on. I mentioned earlier that I'm a student of psychology and one of the sure signs that a person has very low self-esteem is the issuance of verbal put-downs in a time of adversarial communication. "Disagreements", in other words.

Almost from the beginning, you have peppered nearly ever comment you make to me and several others, with verbal insults, insinuations that a person isn't smart, can't read, that you have superior intellect.

Why is this necessary? Are you mean-spirited? Do you struggle with self-esteem as many do who strike out with intellectual insults? What's the purpose of this? I'm interested in discussing this and other issues with you, but your constant "You can't read" trash-talk is unnecessary and makes your claims of crying onto your bible at midnight and then worshipping for an hour seem like a suspicious claim, if it's that easy for you to continually throw insults.

So in short.....why? What's going on?

I have extreme doubt that you studied psychology.

I will gladly and humbly apologize if you will produce any worthy credentials in that department. I don't think you can.

This little boy has never had any problem psychologically...nor any trouble reading and/or comprehension either. Rest assured, for whatever it is worth...

naaah, never mind....

But, no. No psychological problems.

Now that is out of the way. Go back and answer the post answering your question for a lack of definition from you.

Look, I'm giving you ever bit of the doubt, but customarily, you clam up.

Kind of reminds me of the other thread where I asked you for your definition of "the cross alone," but you refused to do that leaving me to assume that you were talking about two board nailed together.

Then, I pressed you for your definition since you disparaged the only assumption that you left me with. You cam back with, "Oh no you don't. If I give you my interpretation of the cross, then you will use it against me. After all, I know your doctrine as well as you do."

So, "cross alone" is nothing but two boards nailed together without definitive definition from you.

Hahaha....

Would you like to revisit that thread?

More of the same. Seriously.....why is this necessary? Why do you feel the need to mock the intelligence of others? So forget all the psychology stuff. We'll just say that I've never studied psychology for a minute. Why do you need to pepper you comments with intellectual insults?

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?

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.

Yes, I did. And your point is? Is this about to be another intellectual insult?
