@divegeester saidHey, Mr. "Checkmate".
While we wait.
My OP is another “checkmate” question for many of hard dogmatic Christian we have here in this forum.
If they respond by saying they ARE still seeking, then that is a tacit acknowledgment that their accepted dogma is incomplete and therefore potentially in some error.
If they respond that they are NOT still seeking, then they appear ridged and co ...[text shortened]... osephw I expect will want to comment, but he’s been rather absent since the “talking snake” debacle.
Exactly WHAT do you think you're "winning" here by upbraiding better Christians than you all the time?
Your monstrous ego continually sucks all the oxygen out of this forum.

@divegeester saidI'm sure you are the sharpest tack in the box in your mind; your Biblical knowledge is by far more significant than anyone else'. You make the Bible fit your moral compass, and where it does not fit, you think it is meaningless, according to you. The thing about scripture is that it is not at odds with itself, and where we see that way, it is our understanding that has issues, and your doctrine has a lot of issues with the text as written. We don't call the principles within mathematics null and void because we keep getting errors in our calculations; we have to reconcile our errors, not blame math and instead find out why we are always getting it wrong, what we are missing, what isn't adding up.
Your post is a pathetic strawman KellyJay.
It’s clear to even the most casual observer that I know a fair bit about the Bible and I’ve explored the principles therein sufficiently enough to be able to start thread after thread her which you dogmatic lovers of the teach of God’s torture chamber either avoid completely, or like rush in and get your underwear twisted.

@divegeester
Are you still seeking?
Yes.
I am still seeking.
I admire Paul's example that he was seeking to gain Christ.
He said he was always forgetting the things which were behinf and stretching
forward to what was before.

@kellyjay saidI thought you were fundamentally opposed to posts which are personal.

Seems not so, when it suits you!

@divegeester saidI am against it, but you have said how you view the scripture is with your moral compass that is how you figure out what is good or bad. This makes you not the scripture the point of discussion. If we were to agree that the Word is the final authority over the truth in it, then it not us would we be discussing. I would be all for letting what the Word says be the final authority and do away with the personal opinions about each other. Doing away with “faith speech”,”church speech” and all other dismissive terms!

@divegeester saidTo follow what I just said we either have the scripture as the final authority here or in your case you. Can you be corrected by scripture if it’s up to you if it is even valid? How is that any different from someone who does what they want without the Bible?
Then stop doing it. Because I’m doing it makes you a hypocrite, and I’d hoped you were of a higher calibre than Suzianne.
How is seeking involved if you have all the answers?

@kellyjay saidWould your idea of supernatural events include your writing in comprehensible English?
As I have repeatedly told you, depending on how it all started, what we find as possible will change, including something similar to what we would call supernatural events. Which I might add is inescapable when complicating how it all began since there isn't anything so far presented that is without some supernatural event.

@indonesia-phil saidYou could always ask clarifying questions, but that would mean you may get an answer.
