Excuse me, Newby, I didn't look at your avatar information and had no idea how long you'd been here. I apologize. As for my posting scriptures here and not discussing it with others? I do discuss it as the Holy Spirit leads me but some people are asking questions in order to draw me into a dispute and such people - even some who claim to be Christians - are to be avoided according to Scripture. In fact, the bible says I am to have nothing to do with them. This is my last correspondence with you unless the LORD leads me to do otherwise.
Well, I'm sorry to hear that Jerry, if you are unable to speak with others as a part of your ministry or explain how scripture supports your beliefs, then I think you might need to rethink your positions and ask yourself why that is? Because you should be able to clearly articulate the positions that you have and why you believe scripture supports those positions. If you are unable to do so, and you rely on others for your stance on scripture, then you are not relying on the holy spirit at all.
I'm not trying to draw you into 'dispute' at all, I've merely asked you to discuss your positions and how they're supported by scripture, and if you really had an interest in teaching others, then you would not see this as a threat, you would see it as an opportunity to teach. The only way to perceive something as a threat is if you do not have the convictions of your beliefs or you unable to explain them yourself because they come from others, which I would guess is the case with you. If you withdrawal from anyone that questions you, how are you accomplishing anything at all? Are you not confident about what you believe, or are you just unable to explain it due to lack of knowledge?
