@spendius,
Quote:I'm not doing that. I'm testing your ideas. And not as thoroughly as I could do.
You can't put ideas into the public domain and not expect them to be tested. Only dictators and silly old poison down thumbers do that.
That is not testing...That is not the testing that scripture talks about....
Testing someone, would be like you saying to me...Hey Spades, is it a good thing or bad thing, for me to preach the Bible, but deny Jesus is the Lord?
And my answer would be...It is only as good to preach the Bible, if you actually believe Jesus to be....If you do not believe Jesus to be...Then the Bible means nothing...
What you are saying, is not to test me at all....It is because you personally believe that doing sophistry....Or preaching the words, or backing up the Church...But being a doubter is a good thing to do...
It has way more to do with flawed logical thinking, than testing a believer of God...
And if you honestly think you are testing me...I will save you a lot of time...
I claim to be a prophet of God....I have a deeper understanding then most do...I can see all the mysteries of God, like scripture says...But am not right all the time....You will not know my answers....Or be able to fully understand them...And you will not genuinely like what I have to say...
You will reject it...Because Fathers speak badly of true ones...and good of false ones...Being you embrace some parts of Christianity, and you are old enough to be my father...You could be seen as a Father figure, Jesus talks about...
Quote:You, and they, preach those things and you haven't thought them through. Are they to do with sexual relations?
No, not everyone of the laws the Pope has set up, over the thousands of years, and many Popes...It does not all have to do with sex...
And if you simply disagree, it does not mean you were testing me....Because it is not something universal, but an opinion you have...
And if you genuinely disagree with me...I simply can not change your thinking upon that...
That is my answer to your test...
