eog,

I asked, "What denomination are you from?"
You answered, "Irrelevant to the discussions here."

I asked, "What church do you attend?"
You answered, "Same question and again irrelevant"

You won't answer these, huh?

I have given up wrestling with you. I tried giving up before but you sucked me in again. But not answering these simple questions, you showed me something. You won't even give me a little respect by answering these simple questions.

This post I am responding to was in error. You, again, take out of context what God has written. Take a verse out of context, and put in into what you want everyone to believe, and make it say what you want. I only say this out of respect to you. I do not want it to be said I did not answer your last claims or I didn't read your post.

Try to imagine, just try now, that you might be wrong when someone shows you an alternate point of view. I mean you know you're not perfect, right? You have to an error somewhere in you, don't you?

Instead of me showing you you're error on this one, I will just tell you that you post is in ERROR! Because when I do post the truth, you will not listen. So why waste my time! I choose to spend my time with someone who will listen!

You are God's responsibility, not mine! I tried to show your errors, you ignored my responses, as you keep claiming I did to you! I ask simple questions such as these.....

I asked, "What denomination are you from?"
You answered, "Irrelevant to the discussions here."
I asked, "What church do you attend?"
You answered, "Same question and again irrelevant"

Maybe irrelevant to you, but not me! I asked you these a multiple number of times for a reason.

The gospels tells a story of a similar circumstance when someone keeps asking Christ questions, without answering any of his questions (ie: like you are doing to me, asking me to read and re-read your posts without acknowledging any of mine.) This is how God handled it:

Matthew 21
23
Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while he was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him. "By what authority are you doing these things?" they asked. "And who gave you this authority?"
24
Jesus replied, "I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
25
John's baptism--where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or from men?" They discussed it among themselves and said, "If we say, `From heaven,' he will ask, `Then why didn't you believe him?'
26
But if we say, `From men'--we are afraid of the people, for they all hold that John was a prophet."
27
So they answered Jesus, "We don't know." Then he said, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

I will draw my knowledge how to handle this situation from Christ himself! Believe me, I am not comparing myself to Christ, but I feel like I am in a very similiar situation!

Luke 22
67
"If you are the Christ, " they said, "tell us." Jesus answered, "If I tell you, you will not believe me,
68
and if I asked you, you would not answer.

God Bless,
Steve
