But you say that in denial of what the holy scriptures teach us (Exodus 3:15).

The two (2) Lord's mentioned at Psalm 110 ( 109 Douay ) is about Lord (YHWH) and Lord Jesus.
One Lord says to the other Lord ( 2 separate Lords ) Lord Jesus is waiting til his God makes his enemies his footstool....
This is when the 'executional sword-like words' from Jesus' mouth will rid the earth of the wicked - Isaiah 11:3-4; Rev. 19:14-15

That would be because I believe Jesus Christ revealed who God TRULY IS! You do not.

We believe the scripture reveals who God really is, and backs it up with the power of the Holy Spirit!

You on the other hand, reinterpret scripture and flat out deny some of it in favor of a revelation, and where in God's name did that come from, being it makes you do that?

But as Christians, you should believe Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit reveal who God IS, NOT the words "written in ink" by fallible men. You completely and deliberately ignore the Holy Spirit of agape love and forgiveness in favor of trusting the written word. That is NOT following Christ!!!

You keep asking the same questions as if I have not answered you multiple times. It is the descriptions and revelations of Jesus's attitude and Spirit as revealed on the Cross that brought me to Christ as God, Charlie, NOT your scriptures.

That's what bothers me, you have little respect for the scripture that Christ continuously referred to!

It shouldn't worry you. He was talking to people who only believed the scriptures about God. How else was He going to reach them and teach them anything about God without doing that???

He denies that the bible is the word of God, he doesnt accept the prophets.

You think you are any different?

The sovereignty and wisdom of God in the structure of His scripture and ones who He chose to pen it escapes you, Mystic! God must be an idiot, unable to secure His own words if one believes your twisted view of God!

You are so far from understanding the things of God that it amazes me!

You prattle on about how we have free will here and then you somehow ignore that and think God controls how we receive and interpret any inspirations He tries to send to us. You do know it is NOT dictation and that our minds are free to interpret the inspirations in our fallible and flawed ways, right???

Your ability to ignore or not notice the contradictory things you believe about God amazes me!
