In my Opening Post I presented my position, and then I quoted several scriptures to prove my point. How will anyone know if my position has some truth to it unless they read my OP carefully and grasp what I said, and then respond to the 8-questions with logic? My opening post is my calling card.
Questions 1 through 4 are based upon the scriptures in my OP. Questions 5-8 are viewpoint questions in which I am asking for the reader's viewpoint. Once I know someone's viewpoint, I can then understand where they are coming from in terms of their preconceived ideas (their belief system). If I perceive their viewpoint is based upon false religious teachings, I will then direct them to other scriptures to help them reason on the scriptures and correct their thinking with the scriptures.
I will never tell a person: "You are wrong because I think so" or "it's my opinion that you are wrong." This is not about me and my opinion. This is about religious truths found in Jehovah's written word, the Judeo-Christian Bible. In other words, whenever I correct someone, I will tell them the scriptural reason for their error and present them with scriptures to help them see that they are being corrected by what's written in the Bible.
"{16} All scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for SETTING THINGS STRAIGHT, for disciplining in righteousness, {17} that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
I will answer the remainder of your post later.
Fair enough, give me a bit of time and I'll go through the questions and answer them. Before I do, I will state that I am going to read from the KJV, as is.
