No. Those three answers to your three questions were sincere and honest.

Originally posted by @fmfSo, in other words all this "piss-taking" towards Christians is just a laugh for you then? This doesn't exactly point you out as one who is worth explaining anything to, then, does it?
I don't hate Christians, Suzianne. It's an interesting theological debate.
Originally posted by @fmfYeah, we know. This is why it's so difficult to take you seriously. It's all just more "forum-combat" for you. Enjoy your giggles.
This kind of message board stuff is water off a duck's back to me. If you'd been here longer, you'd know.
Originally posted by @fmfYou really need to practice your riposte.
More dreary banter. Where's the answer to the question: How far into your four years as a Christian had you got when you decided to declare yourself to be irrevocably "saved"?
It's horrible.

If you feel my questions are not worth answering that's OK but your inability or unwillingness to answer them becomes part of the discourse and people will make of it what they will..

Yes, I believe in limited predestination but certainly not predestination that applies to everyone because the Great Commission would make no sense and the concept of man having free will would be a farce.
The only pre-destination is for the elect.

You really need to practice your riposte.

Originally posted by @fmfYeah, well, we're all good at some things and horrible at others.
The Bible is literature. Thoughts do not originate from the organ that pumps blood around our bodies. I think that thoughts about supernatural phenomena are, to some degree, emotional thoughts. In all religions.
What you are theorizing here is not the meaning of the many phrases exclusive to the Bible which speak of the heart. No worries, it's not the first thing about the Bible you've gotten wrong, and I daresay it won't be the last.

Originally posted by @fmfYeah, and it was laughably off-target. Slow, and inaccurate.

My sensei would punish me for such a dishonorable performance.
