Boy, is it ever.
“but maybe since Jesus was tempted, and born of a woman, who like Eve was tempted the Devil’s temptation-ability on humanity is inherited through the mother.}”
Your conjectures are your own. You spend a lot of time attacking that which you apparent do not know. You even go to the great trouble of inventing straw men theories.
First off, I owned up to my own conjectures and stated them as such.
Second, your response is little more than an arrogant and bigoted pile of dung as far as either argument or instruction is concerned. (As per Dictionary.com, Bigoted: "Utterly intolerant of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own.").
James has something to say:
Two Kinds of Wisdom
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.
Submit Yourselves to God
What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely? But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble.
Your responses show you to be neither peace-loving, nor considerate, nor submissive [to the authority of Scripture], nor full of mercy and good fruit, nor impartial.
You wrote:
“First off, I owned up to my own conjectures and stated them as such.”
I don’t deny that you admitted your points were mere conjecture. I don’t disagree with that at all.
“Second, your response is little more than an arrogant and bigoted pile of dung as far as either argument or instruction is concerned.”
The truth is often viewed by some who are out of touch with reality as arrogant. If you find what is true to be a “bigoted pile of dung as far as either argument or instruction is concerned” then that’s your problem.
“Your responses show you to be neither peace-loving, nor considerate, nor submissive [to the authority of Scripture], nor full of mercy and good fruit, nor impartial.”
I am absolutely submissive to scripture - hence I am not in a Protestant sect. Christ came with the sword. I do not consider the truth uncharitable. You apparently do.
