"Respect my Authoritay" is another, prolly the biggest one. If anyone gives you this kind of reply, rather than a straight answer, run like the wind. The ones whose authority should be respected will never even suggest this to you; and the ones even suggesting this are doing so because they have no clue, but don't want to admit it.
I find this pretty agreeable.

Strongly disagree with this. I don't think we all equally know God. The Bible is pretty clear that some people are walking in gross darkness and have no knowledge of God (sans that instinctive knowledge common to all that is given us in conscience).

Yes, but they will never come and read that post, so i figured it was safe! Among those who seek God, there is no one who knows God any better than you. They may have a better relationship with God, and may actually have some knowledge that you do not possess, but that seems to inevitably work both ways, noticed that?
Some people attempt dialogue.
Some people spout the tired and ignorant idiocies of Brother Grampa.

How many of y'all attend an Apostolic church? By that I mean they teach Jesus is the ONE person of the Godhead and baptize in Jesus Name and believe the Holy Ghost baptism with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues? Just wondering?
I'm still around, and yes, I attend a church that fits the above description.
