Since I'm a typical Christian I'll give you the typical Christian response. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no man gets to the father but by me. Except a man be born again he cannot see the Kingdon of God. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."You mean what you think they say. How interesting it is that you completely avoid ever explaining what you think the verses mean when asked. As if you know what they REALLY say and I somehow don't of course. As if you've proven somehow that I misinterpreted them with your one-liners. Typical "Christian" mentality. As if you've actually disproven anything I've said. As if this response somehow debunks what I've said about them. As if you've actually responded to my question of "What do you think they meant"? Do you think this is an appropriate substitute for actually addressing my question of what you think the verses mean? Apparently. And of course, you can go ahead and ignore what I said about James denouncing the thing about faith without works. You say "Every point I bring up"....what points? You ignore all my points, and I've shown how each and every one of your "points" is out of context, and you don't even bother to counter my points, you just say things like this. How do you think that looks to the reader?
If you don't want to actually debate my claims or answer questions and if you want to completely ignore the contextual arguments, stick to the discussion board. If you're going to make "points", you're going to have counter to the counters to your so-called "points". Why do you think you know how to interpret the verse correctly but I don't? Why are my interpretations wrong? You haven't bothered to actually disprove anything I've said. Your points involve Jesus contradicting himself or negating what he said altogether. Otherwise, your comment here is one big "nuh uh". If you don't like the fact that there's other interpretations, you can choose to either not respond and go somewhere else, or bother to actually discuss the counterpoint. I have backed each and every one of my points and counters to your points up, you have not.
I guess I was accurate when I said
And since you won't accept Paul in, (perhaps because he doesn't back up you message) and I'll assume you won't accept Hebrews then I guess that's all I have to say.
