Let's use a wonderful example.  This ASK bullshit.  How convincing was it the first time you foisted it?  -Not at all.  It hasn't become more convincing since.  That's on you, you could have done work, you could have improved your delivery.  You still could.  Seems like you'd rather do something else.  

It shouldn't surprise you, then, to find that people remain unconvinced.  It certainly doesn't have to do with -their- laziness or excuses...now does it?

My point exactly.

It is my ministry, but where you seem confused is I make no effort to convince anyone of anything. As per my very first post here. I am here to provide clarity about biblicaly based Christianity and answer questions concerning it.

You don't teach 'biblically based' Christianity, you teach Drich based self-idolatry. You are so in love with your own vision of things that you can't possibly imagine yourself being wrong. That's love of self, not love of God.

Most of what I answered to were 'disbelief' posts based on a corrupt version or an inaccurate idea of who or what God is.

The bible has as many meanings as there are interpreters. The emphasis being that the meaning takes on the coloring of the interpreter's willing. You don't read the bible, you read your own personal version of it, and you idolize that version! You have the naivety of a school boy who thinks the meaning is all in the words and not in the reader reading them. This is the view of a simpleton without the skills to appreciate what the text might be saying. All you see in the bible is stuff that you in your ignorance put into your reading. Again, that's self love, not love of God. You talk about humility before God, yet everyone can see that you know nothing of humility.

If I was here to convince people I would be approaching you all like a sales man. (Identifying want or need in all posts and up selling specific aspects of God to full fill your needs while down playing the bad.) Rather I think I do the opposite. I offer truth whether it hurts or helps my argument. I don't try and make things seem nice at the expense of the truth.

Are you really this simple? You sold yourself on your own personal vision without reservation, and now what you're selling is your own obsession with that vision.

The reason you didn't soften your approach is because you're a jerk. Quit trying to depersonalize the situation. No wonder you can love yourself so much, if you never own up to any of the bad. I've seen you rationalize away the arrogance of your behavior countless times. You have even compared yourself to Paul in attempting to excuse your lack of humility.

I am here to provide you with the information one can use to make an informed decision, what you do with that opportunity will be between you and God.

You can't offer what you don't have. All you have is a twisted misunderstanding of the bible and a bunch of confirmation bias, accompanied by a heaping helping of self idolatry. You're the last person that someone should turn to for answers. You have a child's understanding of the bible and a complete ignorance of how your own psychology contributes to your beliefs. As I said, you cannot offer what you do not have, and what you have isn't truth -- it's just the self-obsessed ramblings of someone with too much energy and not enough personal insight. You're a self-deluded jerk and everyone can see that from the most casual of encounters with you.

None of this of course will have the slightest impact on you, your head is as hard as a rock.
