Always ready to refute an argument

Then by all means, refute it.

Or are you seriously going to maintain your ridiculous refutation via "throwing down the gauntlet for other posters to call [you] out" stance?

lol. Like I said:
"You're funny kid. You're really not all that intelligent and if you can be honest with yourself, you'll recognize that you've never been in any real danger of being so. But then being honest with yourself would probably mean 'tarnishing' your 'world view'. Don't see that happening any time soon."

The context we're talking about is - The writers of the Bible being inspired by the Holy Spirit.

yes the writers of the Bible were inspired by Holy spirit.

Yes, i know you believe that. Galveston has also claimed that JW literature is inspired just like the Bible. Your response to that was to state maybe his 'perception' of inspired is different than yours. So i'm asking you, what is your perception or view on how the Bible was 'inspired'? Then when Galveston returns we can ask him the same question, if it turns out you are both talking the same language then we can rule out that you have differing perceptions.

So, what is your perception on how the Bible was inspired?

You guys have been at this so long

God inspired the writers to record his thoughts.

galveston75 has made this claim about the JW organisation's magazines and their writers. He claimed they were "inspired" in the same way as the writers of the gospels are "inspired". Is this the same kind of "inspired" as you mean here?

Are the people at the Watchtower organisation who God communicates with differentiated from the people at the Watchtower organisation who God does [b]not communicate with. Is which-is-which or who-is-who a matter of public record? Does it affect their careers within the organisation?

One of the reasons I ask is that just a post or two above here you said ...[text shortened]... atchtower organisation. Can you not see this contradiction on your part warrants discussion?[/b]

Man, this is gold!

do so. Creepy or what?

You and galveston haven't got a leg to stand on. Asking questions about biblical verses and assorted religious matters is entirely what the spirituality discussion forum was designed for. Don't go cryin' to Mama Moderator just 'cause you're coming up short on logic and common sense on your end.

That's what Galveston said in the thread where he stated that JW literature was inspired like the Bible. Your perceptions are the same, it was a valiant attempt Rob but the contradiction remains.

so what, I don't think we have ever claimed that our literature is inspired in the same
way that the Bible is inspired, maybe the Gman knows something that I don't, even so
what does it prove?

One thing it may demonstrate is that one of you or perhaps both of you are just making up stuff as you go along.

It proves that one of you doesn't know what he is talking about with regard to this topic. Has Galveston just decided to make this up? Or are there other JW's who think this way? Is it a transatlantic thing?
