It is not avoiding anything by answering questions with scripture or asking questions based on the scriptures to help others to understand that their reasoning might be in error and in disagreement with scripture.
I didn't realize I had posted this. I thought I deleted the draft.
But never mind, from my view, and I think any reasonable view, it is avoiding the question with all the appearances of hiding behind the scripture you do post. Is that what you are telling us, by example, how the scriptures should be used?
There is no indication that the reasoning applied to your responses is in any way in error. It is a question and you don't seem to be able to answer it, so we get this dance instead.
From what I have seen, you spend a lot of time cultivating this notion that you the are last stop in interpreting scripture. I must conclude that all these efforts to avoid answering
@McBell's question mean you aren't. There are other reasons too, but I digress. You are just another person with another interpretation. I would say that from all I have seen you think yours is the greatest. When I bother to read your posts anymore at all, I wonder if you don't think it is better than the words you interpret.
This is a scripture discussion forum.
It is supposed to be, but you seem to want to avoid the question and not discuss it at all.
Discussion is --><-- and not ----------------->>>>> or else.
Do you want to discuss scripture or have a go at addressing the OP?
I don't want to be used as a foil to continue to let you run from the question asked of you. I don't think God would want you to do it the way you are and He would be better served by the answering correctly and telling
@McBell the answer is "No, there are no 'scriptures only' verses in the Bible".
Do continue on though.
