I'm not assuming anything because after I asked two questions I guaranteed that I was not creating a false dichotomy or false dilemma because I also then including the options of "neither" and "both" and asked for a possible elaboration.

"Moot" v. "Mute"
That being said, Drich, how can you expect anyone to take you seriously when you can't take yourself seriously enough to write these TL;DR threads without misspelling every other word? Boy, mental gymnastics are tough! I think your brain ran into the pommel horse instead of over it.

If someone tell you to meet them at the libary at 2:30 and you decide to wait for them at Mcdonalds at 3:00 Is it a resonable to expect to see them at McDonalds at 3:00? Further more is it their fault because you can not follow instructions.
Quote:Do you want to go to hell? What do you mean "he doesn't answer", just try harder!
Again, it is not about trying harder. It is about following simply instructions. If you are not expected to Follow the directions of the God of the Universe, then why is it you expect the God of all Creation to do what you expect? Again who are you to will your authority over another man let alone the Lord of Creation.
Quote:What do you mean "I've been trying for years"? Try for more years!

In EVERY single instance of people 'trying' to reach out to God their own admitted efforts did not follow what was laid out by Christ himself in Luke 11. Granted what I hear often times follows the doctrine of a major denomination of Christianity, but in the end still does not follow what the bible tells us.
So again if God tells you to do A and you do it your way instead or the catholic way or the Baptist way, instead of doing "A" as God instructed. Is God to blame?

Well, let's see exactly what you wrote:
Quote:I have a question... is the purpose of all this more logical or more as a guide of how to live your life.... or neither of those purposes or both of those purposes equally?
Here is the fallacy in the question you "asked."
You ASSUME that one seeks Logic or that one seeks a guide as to how to live one's life. Even in your catch all statement "Neither or both" You are still supposing that the Bible or Christianity is still the means one seeks "Logically or as a guide" to live one's life. I simply asked why do you assume That (any of the above) has anything to do with how one lives his/her life?
In order to give you a proper elaberation of the neither option. we must first established that christianity/the bible is not a guide to live one's life. For the resulting life one lives as a Christian is a secondary by-product of the true nature of Christianity. Ironically those who seek to live their lives by christianity's rules will most likly find themselves on the outside looking in, or so says Christ and the Apstoles.
so inorder to move forward you must conceed the idea that Biblical Christianity is about how to live one's life. and simply ask the question you are looking to get answered.

What is the point of this particular apologetic? I understand, Drich, that you started this thread to clarify a discussion from another, but what I'm asking is, "Why bring this up at all?"

Well it's either logic, not logic, neither or both. Otherwise you're talking too nonsensically so how can you expect to be understood?

No offense taken Rex. Three things to address your valid point, and it is indeed valid.
1. I never mentioned his grammar only his atrocious and constant spelling (since the day he arrived).
2. The word mute was spelled correctly even if I did use the wrong version and thus did not get flagged on a spell check.
3. Most importantly, my original post covers this particular type of mistake:

Everybody makes the occasional spelling/grammar error due to rushing a post or whatever. This guy on the other hand pretends to be some kind of theological/intellectual authority on everything that comes out of his mouth, when in reality he as an uneducated blow hard who can't even put together a legible sentence.

@ Drich what browser have you got? You can get spell check apps on most of them. Could make things easier for you.

That being said, Drich, how can you expect anyone to take you seriously when you can't take yourself seriously enough to write these TL;DR threads without misspelling every other word? Boy, mental gymnastics are tough! I think your brain ran into the pommel horse instead of over it.
I am not looking for validation through the establishment of myself as an intelectual power here. That is a atheist game, I will not play. For if I do X (in this case spelling) then my vanity can be used to pressure me into doing Y, then Z then on and on and on till what these guys could not challenge contextually, is being diluted by my own pride to meet a meaningless standard to serve my own need for acceptance.
Again if My phonetic spelling is close enough that it can be corrected in an attempt to shame me, then is it good enough to get the point across. Which allows the people who seek biblical answers to their questions an avenue to obtain answers they seek. Subsequently it also allows those who are here to simply bully, an oppertunity to satiate themselves without taking away from scripturaly based content. For me this is a win win.
The only issue I see is some 'educated' people do not like being shown up by those who the feel are beneath them. In that they have been taught to think with in the structured paradyme that states "book learn'n" is the only measure of wisdom and intellegence. Making what I do here an assault on two fronts. (theological and an intelectual contradiction as well) If one sees these two fronts and have addressed both, then it can be an indication of the same sin. Meaning Pride. Pride can be at the root. Which also gives me an edge when speaking to you good people. If I can identify a proud heart quickly, then I can focous on helping that person deal with or confront their pride, before spending countless hours looking up things a proud heart cares nothing for. Nothing in scripture can be gained if one approaches with a proud heart. So why waist time their if work can be done here?
Which brings us full circle. How can I teach from a position of humility if i am so proud as to hide myself from you in what I call "The Emporor's new cloths?" I must humble myself before God and you people to serve. Unfortunatly where I need to serve Here requires alot of humility, something I am offering to teach by example.

Oh yeah, point definitely taken
(Oh! I wonder how Drich would spell "definitely".)
