Yes, and here it is IN CONTEXT:
15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
I am attempting to refute these very false prophets who operate under cover of clergy and academia.
While I ordinarily like to discuss these matters, but I don't like your holy-joe bad-ass attitude, pal. Have you considered:
Matthew 7:6 "Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot and turn to attack you.
Are you seeking the truth, or just standing there at the bar with a beer in your hand and making farting noises?
Actually,I was hoping to have a rational discussion of your theory.
>1. Do you know of any unequivocal Biblical references which whould demonstrate the validity of your theory?
Do you know of any which would refute it?
I think there are some which might tend to do so. Would you like to explore some of them?
>2. Are you unaware of any Biblical evidence which would demonstrate the invalidity your theory?
Are you aware of any which would demonstrate the validity of alternate theories?
Actually, I do not have any other theory. I somehow imagined that you were trying to gain adherents to your theory.
While I ordinarily like to discuss these matters, but I don't like your holy-joe bad-ass attitude, pal.
Have you considered:
Matthew 7:6 "Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot and turn to attack you.
Well, I guess I will have to apologize for being so rude that you consider me a dog or a swine. That certainly was not my intention.
If you should wish to discuss your theory rationally, please let me know.
