Believers, Non-Believers & Morality

When are you going to answer my question about whether you deny refusing to answer Becker’s point-blank question to you that asked if you were duchess64?

Do you deny refusing to answer that question from Becker?

I said at the time that asking him to repeat the stupid question - to which I'd already given my answer - and asking him to repeat it 30 times, was just me treating him like a jerk. I couldn't have said it plainer. I was taking the piss out of his idiot question. Did you not get that? Did you not read my posts?

I’m referring to the SF as a whole.

The question you were replying to was about this thread.

I don’t answer to you and I find your badgering to be a bore. If you want to talk about the Bible or doctrine or spiritual matters, that’s great. But if you just want to whizz in the pool and poison the SF with your nonsensical badgering, I’m not interested and request that you direct your whizz elsewhere.

You are not being asked about whether you are being 'provoked', and you are not being asked about how 'muted' you are being. You are being asked:

[1] What evidence of "the power of God’s Holy Spirit" is there in your behaviour on this website?

[2] Are your posts directed at Ghost influenced by your "carnal mind"?

[3] What can non-Christians learn in moral terms from your character and the things you say to people on this forum?

As to your other question, I hardly have to justify myself to you and, considering your past and present behavior on this website, really don’t care what you think of me.

I am not asking you to justify yourself. I am not asking you to care about what I think. I am asking you to place your behaviour on this website in the context of your claims that "God's Holy Spirit" is "indwelt" in you and influences you. You make the claim several times a day. Are non-believers able to see the influence of "God's Holy Spirit" when they see your behaviour?

You make the claim several times a day that "God's Holy Spirit" is "indwelt" in you and influences you. It is one of the centrepieces of your posting. What evidence of it is there in your behaviour that there is any truth in your claim?

You hadn’t given your answer and you refused to say if you were posting as duchess64. You still seem ambiguous on the matter.

So just answer this question with a “Yes” or a “No.”

Are you, FMF, also posting on this website as duchess64?

Is your assertion that "God's Holy Spirit" is "indwelt" in you - I mean you specifically, the person making the assertion - Biblically supported? How can we tell from the way you conduct yourself that there's any truth in your assertion?

I don’t make that claim several times a day at all nor is it “a centerpiece” of my posting. That is a lie.

I say several times a day that God’s Holy Spirit indwells someone when he or she believes in Jesus Christ and His Resurrection and accepts Jesus Christ into his or her heart. I also quote Paul in Galatians who wrote of the constant struggle between the Spirit and the flesh and I have said that no Christian is without sin but our sins are forgiven if we repent and seek forgiveness.

And as I’ve already written, considering the amount of provoking of Christians that occurs in here from atheists and other Christ deniers, I think my posts have been quite restrained.

You can ask your question but I’ve answered it to my satisfaction and have nothing else to add.

Do check out 1 Corinthians 2:14 though.

Read my third, fourth, fifth and sixth posts on page 31 of this thread again. I typed all that stuff out in direct answer to your questions and even explained it in detail. You seem to be pretending not to have read them which is both ungracious and unfunny of you. Go and look. Skip the first and second posts of mine on page 31, and then read the rest.

Does this claim - which you make on a daily basis - not then apply to you? If it does, what evidence is there that it "happens" to you?

Is your behaviour on this website characterized by "the flesh" prevailing in "the constant struggle between the Spirit and the flesh"?

Romans 8:16 for your first question and 1 Corinthians 2:15 for your second.

You are not being asked about whether you think you are being "restrained". You are being asked about whether the influence of "God’s Holy Spirit" can be witnessed in your posts - on this thread, for example?
