    Okay,,,,, he could have in fact said that. Where is that scripture?

    Okay, but back to my previous point. Taken in context, am I not correct? How do you explain your belief that we all must preach by acts 20:20, when it clearly does not? Or does it?

    Shamus,

    He told the congregation at Corinth that at 1 Corinthians 11:1. My mistake on saying 'Ephesus'.

    Okay here, Theocrat. LOOK! Let's go point by point....

    **slaps Theocrat silly, throws water in face, slaps again**

    Hello there.....

    Are you going to answer my question, or are you going to just keep throwing more balls for me to juggle here?

    C'mon.... answer the question!

    First Corinthians Chapter 14 verse 36

    (NIV) "Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached? If anybody thinks he is a prophet or spiritually gifted, let him acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord's command. If he ignores this, he himself will be ignored".

    And again, what is the Lord's command? " That you love god and love one another".

    Theocrat:

    Is your purpose of being here so you can preach?

    I guess my purpose here is to provide a defense for the truth. The majority of people's judgement here is very clouded.

    yeah, good question. i have to wonder if he's counting the time...

    no, i don't preach, i hated doing it even when i was a jw. and anyone who tries to preach to me finds the conversation ends very quickly.

    and no, i do not consider myself 'christian', in case you were wondering.

    Or could it be that your judgement of people here is very clouded?

    After all, you haven't walked in their shoes, experienced the things in life they have experienced.

    Do not be so quick to judge others....

    Hey theocrat. Explain your views of acts 20:20 to me! Stop bouncing around like a lunatic and answer the dammed question!

    And the minority of posters are very judgemental....

    How sad for you Theo, that you fail to convince us that god is a hateful being and that we are all in the wrong. I will keep open dialogue and await your answers to the the very scriptures you claim a belief in. Shamus, myself, and others have contributed to your posted thread....I trust that you will discuss these scriptures with us now that you have asked for feedback. Unless of course your purpose was intended to wound and hurt and you have no responsibility to back up what you stated.
