2 | Why can we not just be Christians? | 1 Pet 1:2 | Ray | 151597 | ||
Hi Angel, Romans 1:29 was probably the verse that Not Yet had in mind. Here are verses that I would tie together after reading the discussion on this thread. Romans 1:22, "Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible (God) for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures." 2 Peter 3:14, "Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by (Him) in peace, spotless and blamesless," 2 Thess 3:4, "And we have confidence in the (Lord) concerning you, that you are doing and will continue to do what we command." John 4:25, "...(He) will declare all things to us." John 5:40, "and you are unwilling to come to (Me) that you may have life." John 6:65, "And He was saying, "For this reason I have said to you that no one can come to (Me) unless it has been granted him from the Father." Ephesians 5:24, "But as the church is subject to (Christ), so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything." 2 Corinthians 5:20, "Therefore, we are ambassadors for (Christ)..." Colossians 2:6, "As you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in (Him)," Colossians 3:1, "If then you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of (God). 2 Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth." Romans 8:16, "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of (God)," The parentheses are mine for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |

Ray, please, please -- you've been requested again and again and again -- when you quote a passage from Scripture, quote it EXACTLY as it is written in the particular translation you're quoting from. Please STOP inserting your private symbols, such as parentheses, asterisks and diagonal marks. When you write at the bottom of your Bible quotations, "The parentheses are mine for comparisons," no one knows (or really cares) what you are talking about. Once more I ask you, "Ray, is it impossible for you to copy a text exactly as it is written." If you want to mark up your copy of the Bible with your own brand of hieroglyphics, that's your business. When you quote a passage of Scripture on this Forum, it becomes our business. Please quote it verbatim and leave your personal markings where they belong, at home tucked away in your personal copy of the Bible. Please don't force members of this Forum to take sterner measures against the content of your postings than have already been taken. Do you understand what I am saying to you? --Hank | ||||||

Hi Hank, Am I to understand that you see no similarities in the Scripture references I quoted and the placement of the parentheses? Where were you, Hank, when I first used parentheses in 04-01-01? Where were you from then to very recently, having made no comment about it whatsoever. From the heart, Ray |

And, Ray, where were you when, during the course of the last four years, many of your peers on the Forum have expressed their displeasue at your relentless pursuit of your obsessional theories of capitalization, your "divisible by three" theory of pronouns, your "holy spirit" heresy, and your adulteration of quoted Scripture by the insertion of private symbols which are meaningless to the readers of this Forum? There is a saying to the effect that a word to the wise is sufficient, but your response to my post and many others by various members of this Forum is clearly indicative that in your case many words including an official warning are not sufficient. Make no mistake about it. The time to fish or cut bait has come. --Hank | ||||||
