You know nothing about me...

I find your promotion of textual criticism, where all Bibles are erroneous, highly offensive.

So I followed the guidance of this scripture:

“Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.” (1 Timothy 5:20, KJV)

But seeing that the holy scriptures contained in translations is just a specimen of man made writings outside the control of God’s providence in your view I expect your mocking condescending attitude to continue…

Then you don't understand my position on the topic.

Your shot at describing it is totally false.

A sad example of seriously false accusation.

Someone help me here...

Is it normally accepted on this forum to slanderously attack a member because they disagree with your theological position?

Fabricate a false statement of the members beliefs and pronounce them reprobate ???

We weren't there to be like "Hey Jesus, can you clarify what you said please?"
Reminds me of this.

Matthew 22:46 NRSVue
No one was able to give him an answer, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.

People weren't all that different back then. A lot is lost in translation. Then we come along after the fact, many centuries removed from the context, and kind of guess what they were talking about. We kind of get the idea, but generally speaking opinion and interpretation of what the Bible says varies greatly.
Exactly!

Deep water ahead... Danger Will Robinson.....

Quick observations: There are those who believe that they already know the truth, and it is contained in their favorite translation. As to whether they have actually studied their favorite translation and compared passage that both prove and disprove their interpretations; who knows?

When in doubt, just repeat what you have been told by your favorite pastor or teacher.

If a topic frustrates you, just have that topic banned from discussion.

By all means, never clear your mind and open the door to any change in your understanding. After all, it was good enough for grandpa.

OK so I should just ignore and move on...

A post can be reported. But Mods will only take action if a specific forum rules is broken. Find the broken rule and report the charge.
A charge of flaming could be made for a slanderous attack. Keep the report brief. They will read the post(s).

Who said “reprobate”?

Are you self identifying?

I attacked your blasphemy against the word of God.

I can’t control the feelings of folks like yourself who attack the perfection of God’s word and then can’t take a rebuke in defense without whining about it.

I could report many members that have offended me.

But I don’t resort to those cowardly tactics.

Ya’ll sure love censorship don’t ya…

Always best to report to admin @Carl Emerson ...don’t get involved in what was said....just report. admin advised me to do this, best advice he ever gave me...in fact I believe the Spirit gave me this advice through this man of God!

I would continually argue my case Brother on a personal level...not worth it my friend.

Leave their posts to admin...note to myself also...check your post before you hit submit.

Discuss the topic, not the member.

The world hates me.

I must be doing some real work for the Lord.

I will never back down to the enemies of God and the Holy Bible!

Ah, The smarty pants complex…

"Smarty pants?" How will I recover from this devastating blow to my ego?

God's Seven Thousand all wrapped up into one prophet.

"I, alone... And they seek my life."

Well, you've eluded them for nearly 4 years. Maybe you'll make it another day or two.
