"I like my summary way better than yours."

That is irrelevant to whether you answered the question that was asked. You did not. (False)

Can you summarize the central complaint that God has against Man in that passage? (It's not hard)
Message 26227510

You asked if I could summarize it and I did. You didn't ask me if I could guess what you wanted me to get out of the passage. I included what he described as wrong with Man as you requested.

"Summary: In any event, Paul seems to be pleading with the Romans to give him a chance to preach in their setting, allowing that righteousness in the eyes of God is a spiritual matter of the heart, not of birth right or association with a particular population's allegiances (worldviews). He talks some about how peops have got it all wrong, using their dogmas to excuse the inexcusable and justify the unjustifiable. He is encouraging them to consider and accept the way of Jesus as the only real alternative."

"You answered your own question with your own agenda."

You don't like my answer because it apparently doesn't serve your purposes but I told you in advance I didn't know what the purpose of the question was. So, tough tooties.

"You should have just said you didn't like the question."

Why?

"Of course it was a genuine question and you are again devolving into name calling and motive questioning. "

We've already established, you consider honesty and directness to be name calling, so lets move on.

"Sadly it seems that's all you have to offer in response.

Honesty and directness is the best I have to offer you.

"In fact I told you exactly why I asked the question and it was in the context of demonstrating the falseness of your claim that the bible teaches there is no distinction between God and creation. No hidden agenda. Just my cards on the table."

Link or lie: I don't believe I ever made such a claim.

"No hidden agenda. Just my cards on the table."

Ehh, somebody tell greg to stop dealing from the bottom of the deck.
