Bible Note: Ed, you are underestimating how powerful love is. It is the primary thing, and it accomplishes the fullest extent of the law. I don't think you are understanding this thing. Think on it for a while. Now, this 1-10 list is not a list of excuses. They are valid questions. I have every right to ask them if you are going to lay a commandment in my lap that is not clearly stated as a commandment, but instead given as an exhortation. If you REALLY want to teach me something, as I am giving you a sincere and genuine opportunity to do; I am open-minded to hear what you have to say, and to weigh it, and I am prepared to change my views if your arguement proves true. But I insist that you answer my questions and stop avoiding them. If you can't answer them, I will be forced to assume that you cannot, and under such circumstances, I will have no choice but to remain unconvinced of your arguements. Now, do you want to convince me or not? I'm ready to listen, but you must provide some answers to the very reasonable questions I have asked you before we can properly continue. Otherwise we are arguing over nothing more than opinion, conjecture, and the interpretation of a passage that we already disagree on. I did hear what you said in this last post, as you are tempering it down a bit, but I once again insist that you answer, else this conversation cannot be properly discussed. Ancient |
