Just as Mr. Ruckman guides many of you, I choose other teachers whom I believe are better Bible teachers.
I hope that helps resolve any confusion.
Thank you for the welcome to the board!!! |
ericwgreene,
A perfect "
sophistical" answer: I demonstrated from scripture the "context" - you "
preferred" to ignored the context and
privately interpreted the verse to support a preconceived conviction, and then added to the Holy words of God to suit your own purposes.
I was dealing with what
you said - not with what brother Chette said. You can try to "
misdirect" (another
device used by "
sophists") my criticism, but
you criticized a fellow brother in Christ and that was the issue I was dealing with - which
you artfully chose to ignore.
If you read my Post - I not only never said that brother Peter Ruckman was my "
guide", I made it perfectly clear (for anyone with a minimum of reading comprehension) that I rely solely on the Holy Spirit as my
guide when it comes to spiritual understanding. I don't rely on any man (living or dead) to "
guide" me through the Bible.
And so we are still left with the fact that in your first three "Posts" on this Forum, you as a "
newcomer" - took the only scripture you cited (in all three of your posts) out of context; slyly "
intimated" that
we all are "
ignorant"; have "
preconceived assumptions"; that
we have embraced "
error"; have the "
wrong interpretations"; and are full of "
pride" and "
arrogance"; and have clearly demonstrated by the rest of your Posts since your initial posts, that you have a "
preference" for which ever Bible suits your purposes for the moment and have a preference for dead Calvinists (and possibly some that are alive) privately interpreting the Holy Scriptures for you.
So the charges still stand, although you "
skillfully" tried to
deflect them, and make them of no importance, and ignored 90% of the rest of my comments. Nothing has changed. You have come here to stir up trouble and to "
argue" with whoever will engage you, and at some point when you find out that you are unable to persuade us to your "
preferences", you will silently fold your tent and slip away into the darkness from which you came.
I don't debate Humanists or Sophists - there is "no profit" in it!
