And since I only quote Scripture, you are arguing with Scripture. Where you misinterpret, as with “Father”, I correct you. But you just ignore all my cites or, worse, attempt to set Scripture against Scripture.
Yeah. It’s a living, breathing document that you interpret as you choose by linking together passages that agree with your preconceived notions.
You aren’t telling me what scripture says. Rather all I’m seeing is your interpretation of scripture.
You rely on your Fundamentalist Traditions of men when it comes to interpreting the Bible. So you do exactly what you criticize the Church for doing.
I have nothing more to say.
I choose not to because you will not listen anything I have to say about scripture, so arguing with you is a fruitless exercise.
Here’s my scripture citation for you from Proverbs 26:4-14:
4 When arguing with fools, don’t answer their foolish arguments, or you will become as foolish as they are. 5 When arguing with fools, be sure to answer their foolish arguments, or they will become wise in their own estimation. 6 Trusting a fool to convey a message is as foolish as cutting off one’s feet or drinking poison! 7 In the mouth of a fool, a proverb becomes as limp as a paralyzed leg. 8 Honoring a fool is as foolish as tying a stone to a slingshot. 9 A proverb in a fool’s mouth is as dangerous as a thornbush brandished by a drunkard. 10 An employer who hires a fool or a bystander is like an archer who shoots recklessly. 11 As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly. 12 There is more hope for fools than for people who think they are wise. 13 The lazy person is full of excuses, saying, “I can’t go outside because there might be a lion on the road! Yes, I’m sure there’s a lion out there!” 14 As a door turns back and forth on its hinges, so the lazy person turns over in bed.
