Bible Note: Lookin4, Friend, I have tried, with great effort, to remain cordial and be helpful but I'm afraid I'm at a point where I feel a stronger priority to put a stop to you nonsense. What you are attempting is referred to as "circular reasoning" and I must write honestly and say, you’re not even slightly good at it. You’re not dealing with second graders on the forum. You can continue to adjust and readjust your question (statement, position, opinion- or whatever we're to call it at this point) until eventually you will have a position that you can sufficiently qualify with Scripture. I guess the problem with my assumption here though is that you haven’t attempted to apply your question to Scripture or Scripture to your question. Furthermore, when someone quotes Scripture that specifically address your question and you respond with referring to it as “merely citing”; your, well, I’m not sure where you are. It’s not bible study. So far off the mark regarding an appropriate approach to bible study that I'm not even sure where to start in an attempt to get you situated. Here is the problem. You cannot begin with an assumption, position, opinion, etc. and then approach Scripture in an attempt to prove your theory. It's circular. It doesn't work. Scripture is not established by your doctrine (or mine) but rather, our doctrine needs to be established by Scripture. You have missed this so completely that the best advice I might offer is that you drop this issue completely (for the time being) and move on to something more productive. God bless, Jeff |
