Subject: "Herodians" who were they? |
Bible Note: "If you want to pick a fight..." No. I just want to pick your brain. I want you to answer the question, "who were the Herodians." "I came to this forum with hopes of sharing some light..." If you really came to this forum with hopes of sharing some light, than why won't you answer my question? I will restate it for you. "Who do you believe were the Herodians and how does your belief differ than searcher56 and Nolan? Please, shed some light on this issue. "what about UNITY and HARMONY?.." Well, truth divides...Ask Jesus. "When you people of arrogance who know it all..." Is it arrogance to ask you to answer a question about your beliefs? Is it arrogance to disagree with your position on a topic? I would say no to each question. It is arrogant to berate others for disagreeing with you when you won't even explain to us your beliefs. It is arrogant to tell someone they are wrong and not even share with them the truths you have learned--especially when they ask you for further clarification. "...I'm sorry you don't understand..." What don't "we" understand? How can we understand your position if you won't tell us in plain language what you believe and not in riddles? Since your railing, loveless attack on me, I have reviewed some of your past posts and realized that it is normal for you to never answer a question directly. When challenged, you always elevate yourself as the Beneficiary of some special secret knowledge that only you have and everyone else as spiritually blinded from the real truth hidden in the scriptures (Letters). That is arrogance. "And if any man think he is saved and another is not, then I caution you in love to reconsider your views" Didn't Jesus teach that the way to heaven would be the road less traveled? Didn't Jesus teach that he is the only way to the Father? Didn't Paul teach that there was only one name by which men can be saved? Tell me how I am missing the plain language of the gospel taught by the apostles and Jesus himself. "This is not only to you who has questioned me falsely" How is asking you to tell me your beliefs about who the Herodians were "questioning you falsely?" Are we not supposed to question the beliefs of others? Or would you prefer us to accept everything you say blindly? "…but to those who understand what is really going on.." Could you tell us in the forum what is really going on? Again, you are speaking in riddles and not explaining your beliefs. From reviewing your previous posts, I wonder if you really are a believer in Christ or are you just playing around on this forum trying to get a response from the members. |
