Here we go again.
The teapot and the kettle ..
Indeed, it is a teapot and kettle. PATHETIC.
What shocks me is that I thought you were above the childishness of dragging it out like this.
LOL. You thought I was above supposedly dragging it out, but I guess you don't feel the same about yourself? You don't think you're dragging it out by making post after post in this thread today like you're doing? LOL.
I insult those who are arrogant in their methods - like yourself and a few others.
You are very arrogant in your methods. You come across as an arrogant know-it-all. For example, you will not even discuss the possibility that the word zao could apply to the souls of the dead in Christ who are in heaven now even though the definition of that word does NOT say it has to be used only in reference to those who are physically/bodily alive. It is arrogant for you to act like your opinions are facts. Those who are physically dead and in heaven now are rarely referred to in scripture, so OF COURSE the use of the word "zao" is going to be used in reference to those who are physically alive far more than those who are physically dead while their souls are conscious in heaven as Revelation 6:9-11 indicates. So, that you see many references to it being used to refer to people who are physically alive proves nothing in terms of whether or not the word can be used to describe those who are physically dead but spiritually alive.
If you cannot have your say without being a bully, I will be a bully when speaking to you.
Oh, I see. You base your behavior on other's behavior instead of sticking to any standard of behavior for yourself. So, if someone hits you in the face, you should hit them back, right? Or should you turn the other cheek? What do you think?
If I thought I was holier than you I would pray to Jesus to ask Him to help your heart - but because I know I will get a very serious rebuke in reply, I would not dare.
I don't care if you do that if you think it is needed. That would show you care and I can't get upset about that.
Ever considered that it's very often a holier than thou disposition that accuses another of the same?
No, I don't think there is any validity to that. I know I am not holy at all. My righteousness is as filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6).
