Are you saying you are without error? No, I find your insults, insulting. Then perhaps you should stop judging. So you're saying I should consult the Bible less? Interesting?
I said you find what you look for. I do not feel judged. I said that an index card can supply as much understanding as you as regards looking things up, in the absence of experiential conjugation.
That's what you said but the truth is sometimes you find what you are not looking for. Also you implied that the only reason anyone would find error with you is that they were looking for it but unless you are errorless then that is not true either. Then why did you imply I was judging you? Unless, as you said, you were looking to be judged? The bible says; The law of Jehovah is perfect, bringing back the soul. The reminder of Jehovah is trustworthy, making the inexperienced one wise. (Psalm 19:7) Again you seem to think it wise to disagree with God's Word the Bible, I think if I were you, I'd check on that Spirit that seems to be guiding you away from the Bible. As for my "experiential conjugation", you don't know me well enough to be talking about that or whether I even have it or not.
I asked: Are you saying you are without error? Please, try answering the question. Perhaps, it's because you were insulting? Even in the absence of experiential conjugation? Perhaps you should ask that Spirit of yours, it seems to tell you all you need to know. All I've been doing is quoting Scripture and pointing out that what you say conflicts with what it says, not with what I believe. But then I do believe the Bible is the Word of God not as you said the word of men, perhaps that is the belief I have, that you disagree with. Interesting, it seems you want to hear my beliefs about what the Bible says and you want to hear my interpretation of what the Bible says but afterward will just say that is just your beliefs and your interpretation. How about I just continue to point out where you disagree with what the Bible says and you can decide between your word and God's? As for, speaking for your veracity, I will continue to let God's Word speak to that. And that "illustration" of yours, what is it? About the "strawberry", you have to taste it for you to know but in the "sell all I have" and the "bury the dead" I have to do it for you to know, which is it? Is it you have to do it or do I have to do it or do we both have to do it or is there a chance that a person can learn something without having to experience it. (Psalm 19:7)
i did not say I was without error Try reading the answer instead of looking for an answer you want to hear Again this is your judgment of me. Words are meaningless absent their experiential conjugations. I'm asking you. It is your meaning I'm looking for. Belief occupies the space in the mind where knowledge appears to be absent. To hold onto ones beliefs and refuse to consider evidence on the basis that it conflicts with belief is a refusal to consider what may or may not be true. I did not ask to hear your beliefs. The bible does not speak. You accuse me with your own mouth of speaking against Gods' word. You can lead a person to the door but that person must walk through it of his own volition.
Thank you for answering the question. I just did and like I said thanx for finally answering. Nope just a statement of fact. Nope. Why? Nope. So why do you do it? Sorry, it sure sounded like it. Yes it does. Aren't you the one who said; "you find what you look for"? Were you looking for accusation? In guess in your case that explains a lot.
Belief occupies a space in the mind where knowledge appears absent. We believe because we cannot verify. Is there something you can say to this statement other than nope? Words are meaningless absent their experiential conjugations. Again something other than nope? I've asked you for specific pieces of information that you seem reluctant to supply. If you are not going to be sincere with me then I will move on.
Nope. Nope. T'ain't necessarily so? Nope. Not necessarily true. I've answered all your questions and addressed all your statements, perhaps you are looking for what you want to hear. I'm as sincere about this as you are, perhaps more.
It really is that Older Water Boy is some kind of German. Belief is really evaluated fact of thought called 'Gedanken'; then there is opinionated consistency of believing like Faith, called 'Vorstellung', which is the idealistic state of thinking and not-reasoning for the spatial through time. But there is also Reason, 'Vernunft', ... I don't understand German; I get this stuff from a dictionary. :cheers2:
