What ARE you THINKING?

Lol! Nice deflection for posting something you've read on a blog.

You read your apologetics from blogs. I read Eusebius (ca 300 AD) and Tertullian (ca 200 AD). You know, the sources.

You can find them here - CCEL Questions and Answers - Christian Classics Ethereal Library

The mission of the Christian Classics Ethereal Library (CCEL) is to build up the church by making classic Christian literature widely available and promoting its use for edification and study by interested Christians, seekers and scholars. The CCEL accomplishes this by selecting, collecting, distributing, and promoting valuable literature through the World Wide Web and other media.

Look behind you, your pants are burning.

My grandparents are Greek, as is my mother. My father was German only because he was born here, culturally he was Greek. His first language, like mine was Greek.

Being raised in the Greek Orthodox church, our liturgy was in Koine Greek. You know, the same Greek the NT was written in.

My Bible study was done in German for the OT, and Koine Greek for the NT. You know, the same Greek the NT was written in.

Bonjour!
And once again you dismiss yourself with your inventions.

See, that's the major problem with fundamentalism. They can't help but lie when proven to be wrong. Which makes their theological point of view worthless, their life a lie.

Last time I am going to answer you because you are so far out there in accusations and none of what your wrote isn't worth the disturbance of electrons. It seems like Everything you wrote is a lie or distortion of the truth. I can easily dismiss your accusations but you would just jump on another series of blogs and post another diatribe of insults.

It is a terrible way to live. No one believes you other than the people who are like minded in hatred. All that hate is going to eat you up. People will pray for you if you request it. Just trying to help you

I gave you links to Christian web sites so you could verify this for yourself.

Your need to misrepresent this as me lying while avoiding to search for the truth yourself is most amusing. And dishonest.

Bye bye, Forrest, bye bye.

Folks,

The Scriptures are God inspired and can be trusted. Yet we have people who just contempt for he Word and come here to cause trouble. Don’t let the dead try to sway you.

This link is from a very trusted Christian organization.

That link is from a known polemical organization and all the evidence both internal and external indicate that the doctrine of Sola Scriptura is just as much without foundation as the doctrine of church supremacy it was meant to combat. Both sides claim the guidance of the Spirit for their claims, but neither side references compliance with the nature OF that Spirit as revealed by Jesus to substantiate their claims. It would seem that both ideas recognize that the Spirit is all that was promised, but both make that Spirit subject to their chosen "authority."

Folks,

gotquestions.org is only very controversial to only those who oppose God’s Word. The articles are written by several authors. Obviously, agreement for everything written is nearly impossible for any site. However, the postings are well established in the faith. The negativity you might hear about the site is that it is conservative , whatever the heck that means.

The simple fact is you can put your trust into Jesus Christ and the SCRIPTURES that tells you about who He is, why He came to Earth, and His ministry. Or, you can go with the dead and face eternal damnation. The choice is obvious. Put your faith into God’s Word.
