Actually, the Bible is written by the Holy Spirit but penned by humans. :)

No. Jesus came as a human male. He will come again as a male; Scripture clearly states this in its use of male pronouns in reference to Him at His return. You may see this for yourself in Revelation 19, beginning at verse 11.

Do you understand that the above post was not addressed to you?

Yawn. Kindly tell me your understanding of the word ‘parable’ as used in Scripture.

Even in conceptual terms, "sin" and "demon" are distinct. There is a link between the concepts but there are also several degrees of separation between them. Conflating and thereby confusing them doesn't help anyone get closer to the truth. The etymology of a word does not circumscribe its...

Okay, so there are eight people who shouldn't be in Christian ministry (if your accusations are valid!). Among the multiple thousands just in North America who function as pastors, do they qualify as "so many"?

Your section in black boldface is at best a very loose translation taken from a recognized paraphrase. Most actual translations render the verse something like, "so that you may learn to revere (or 'fear') the Lord your God always." I would strongly suggest that you don't build your life on such...

Can you give us a brief summary please?

People who disagree with you on the basis of their sound understanding of Scripture are not "doubters". People who disagree with you are not attacking you. People who disagree with you aren't doing so because you didn't answer the way one person wanted you to answer. Stop acting like a...

No, it’s my way of saying your post is ridiculous, but snowflakes tend to get their knickers in a twist over such concepts.

Firstly, the word is "although". Secondly, your self-aggrandizing "deeper meaning" is not any deeper than the plain text. Lose the arrogance, or be thought of as a donkey.

You keep pleading on the basis of an utterly flawed premise. This is a parable. The judge was not a real person. Quit trying to argue that a fictional character could be born again; you're wasting your time.

Ah. I understand blunt when there are contextual and tonal clues. This venue doesn’t convey the latter well.

I don’t think anyone is “offended” by your post. Many of us do, however, think your premise and reasoning are deeply flawed.

Um, no. The Scripture says if there is no interpreter, the speaker is to speak to himself and to God. That is not the same as ‘shut up’. 28But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

While ad-hominem comments are used in such cases, there are also cases where people in an argument are, in fact, "dumb" (ignorant, untaught, resistant to learning). Unpleasant truth hurts. Nobody likes it when their ignorance is exposed. The same: gravity. Gravity is relative to the Earth, not...

You apparently forgot to account for the sun's height above the Earth, which must be added to the Earth's diameter.

You don't understand the nature of the gift, which by the way is clearly spelled out in Scripture... and the word is "prophecy" when used as a noun.

Your attitude in your previous "request" post (and repeated here) is all I needed to see to know that my (non-sarcastic) response was right on point. I know your position is incorrect. Nobody but God Himself can prove that to you, because you have a closed mind and a hard heart.
