The reason your post got picked apart is because about everything in it was wrong. It was the only way I had of addressing each point of error.

I also realize that whenever I say/write anything that is contrary to the status quo, I will be resented by the other person because they use the status quo to validate themselves. Their intention will become 'singular and inflexible' and that they have already decided that they must forever object to and discredit whatever I say/write (at this point, actual "DISCUSSION" is starting to seem impossible).

You are nor were resented in any way by me. You were in error and I tried very diligently to correct you. My "status quo" is in line with the totality of scripture. Yours only lines up with those verses used out of context that support your view. Discussion is only impossible when one of us refuses to discuss. You have a Bible, I have a Bible. So discuss.

Yet, all of that is not what really boithers me, it is the ABUSE/ridicule/mockery part ("cookie cutter post" that your puffed up 'master scholar' intellect has imagined). Whether or not you realize that by being a "master intellectual scholar" you are glorifying YOURSELF (not GOD), I don't feel the necessity of accepting abuse from you.

The verbage you used in that post was verbatim with some of the verbage you used in another post in another thread. It appears to me you assembled both these posts from components of works you have elsewhere. There is nothing wrong in that. I do it all the time. That is why I recognized it. You posted your little cookie cooker post, now it's time to support it. There is no reason for you to be offended.
I am not a puffed up master scholar. In fact truth be known, I am a poor dirt farmer who can't make a living at home and has to work construction just to have enough money to lose some on the farm. I have a high school education and am self taught from personal diligent Bible study from a heart that desires to know and serve God. I am not trying to glorify myself, far from it. At this point I perceive in you a lost soul in need of saving and I am prepared to do whatever I can to help guide you to the light if you will but accept it.
Get your Bible, open it and discuss. You have nothing to lose.

IF you ever do become a 'GODLY' Christian, you will first have to learn to be CIVIL (but civility is not taught in the traditional "christian" teachings of MAN).

My sincere apologies are offered if I offended you in any way. It is often the case that these forums are limited in their communications in that it is impossible to project tone and feeling into screens of nothing but text. I assure you, I have nothing but your interests and the glory of God in view.
And as for whether or not I am a Godly Christian, I diligently strive to be. I understand the fact that I am going to have to "Do" in order to hear the words "well done".

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:23-24
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
Study with me. I am humbly at your service.
