"1. The above bolded clip is classic projection."
No; what it is, is an out of context quote that you had to pick apart to conceal the point being made.
"You represented one aspect of a presentation as being the entire argument. That was a misrepresentation.
2. No I didn't, now you are just being dishonest and blatantly so.
Again: you turn an honest disagreement into question of moral character and basically call me a liar.
'You may not like that he drew such a conclusion, although I've no idea know why you want to call it a throw away line.'
You see that line as a summation of his entire argument when he actually made several different criticisms. I called it a throw away line because it seemed to be a minor point to end the review on.
"The fact is I haven't misrepresented anything and I have gone over board to clarify that fact for you. You repeating the allegation is simply to your further dishonor."
The dishonor is all yours madam. I have explained clearly why I considered your representation to be inaccurate and we just disagree.
<<<I stand by everything I said in that post and have explained why that is the case.>>>
"So you say but I asked you to stand behind the following statement by providing evidence I had posted something nonsensical. You, however, provided no evidence, nor did you apologise"
Why would I apologize for making an accurate observation.
here's your sentence:
"I wonder why Jesus didn't mention that either and how you explain the Alpha and Omega having needs".
Here's what I said in context:
<<<The second sentence of your post is nonsense. Are you complaining that Jesus did not say that He was the Alpha and the Omega? He surely did and those very words are quoted as being said by Jesus in the Bible.>>>
Get that? iIt is nonsense to suggest that Jesus did not claim to be the Alpha and the Omega
"Really, I didn’t know that. Would you mind posting the chapter and vs where Jesus is quoted using those exact words… “the Alpha and Omega of all reality.” I would prefer that it isn't one where it is not clear whether the statement is referencing the Father or the Son. Or if you are mistaken, a simple apology would suffice."
You are simply displaying your ignorance of both the bible and Christianity and your request for the exact phrasing is a sad attempt to score more of those cheap points that you seem so fond of. In fact Jesus claimed far more than that He claimed to be the creator of all existence.
8<"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."
9I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10On the Lord's Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, 11which said: "Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea."
12I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man,"dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 14His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
17When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.

You: you are doing a drive-by slam. You make snide comments and then run away.”
" What snide comment?"
"I'm not interested in debating that. Just wondered how a devout scholar like yourself reconciles that whole issue."
You have made it clear that you have no respect for me so that comment was a clearly snide remark. Denying it makes you a big fat LIAR!
>>“Your posts about Christianity are dripping with condescension and passive aggressiveness.”>>>
"I’ve made no condescending or passive aggressive remarks about Christianity."
I said posts plural. Repeatedly calling Christians pejorative terms like "religionists" is just one example of many.
(You didn't STAND UP or BEHIND the comment, you suggested I am ignorant with regards to Christian Principles and so unworthy of a response from you.)
I most certainly did and I do. Your ignorance of all things Christian is evident every time you open your mouth. |
