My questions below are essentially not contradictory at all.
Logical Contradiction:
The word essential means necessary.
When you ask if something essential is necessary, you are presenting a logical contradiction.
Everything essential IS BY DEFINITION also necessary.

(You are literally saying, "Do you believe essentials are essential?" You are wasting everyone's time with a nonsense statement, and baiting them to accept a logical contradiction.)


Confusion:
To engage in such deliberate confusion
(starting a thread with a logical contradiction, and then refusing to clarify your own terms)
indicates that you have something to hide so you're being intentionally obtuse, or you simply have no idea what you're talking about.


Trolling?
This is all becoming so silly, it's starting to just feel like a troll.

I believe all Christian essentials from Jesus Christ are absolutely necessary, do you?
You have repeated this over an over again. An "essential|" is an essential. Period. Now just move on.

no one understands what you mean when your saying the phrase “ Christian essential “

give me an example what is one “ Christian essential ? You’ve just made this mysterious broad statement d it doesn’t seem like to e can you nderrrsnd or even pull out of you what your talking about

what is the meaning of the term “ Christian essential ?

that’s all I’m asking I’ve never heard the phrase in seventy years what does that phrase refer to ? What are the “ Christian essentials “ your asking about

I mean in general ? Of course anything g essential is by its label essential it makes no sense because no one knows what you mean by “ Christian essentials “ and you won’t answer you keep repeating the same phrases

This is essentially correct.
In essence... and in absence of essentials... perhaps OP needs to cut off his hands after gouging
out his eyes. It is suggested in that order because cutting off one's hands would then make gouging
out your eyes much more difficult to accomplish. Please don't try this at home, boys and girls.

Well, if you are not a teacher, how can you give an exam? I spent a good number of years in school and we always had teachers who gave the exams so...
Ouch! You really know how to paint a man into a corner. :whistle:
