First, here is my response to your 8/24/2003 1:22 pm CDT post [because the board would not let me post in reply twice]:
Oh, I get it! Of course!
I should have understood what you meant, not what you said!!!???
I don't know why I missed that. I SHOULD have known in light of the issue dealing with the definition of "salutations."
I guess things are not as they appear, particularly as printed in your posts.
All I can say in my defense is this: I cannot read your mind.
Now, my response to your 8/24/2003 2:32 pm CDT post immediately above is:
You want a deal. I have a problem. I am a selfish fool for exposing the many holes in logic and understanding throughout what you have written. You view time as an inhibiting factor with respect to this discussion thread. You say that I can't deal with something you have yet to succinctly define and explain so it can be answered.
I told you I am working on deciphering the tome you posted 8/19/2003 at 10:23 am CDT. If you have explained somewhere therein about this "Paul's 'my gospel' being in prophecy" issue, I will get to it and give you a very detailed response so there is no doubt whatsoever about what the Book says from my understanding and how that relates to what you adamantly claim it does say. Truth is time independent here as it relates to the Book. What's the rush?
When I peruse back through the thread as it has developed, I see not much interest on your part to have me expose the many faults contained within your statements. You've had nothing substantive to say in response to what I have written that thoroughly dissolves your supporting statement about Peter and those Gentiles being saved the same in Acts 15.
In your 4/11/2003 12:18 am CDT post, in response to Paul Kooyers, you said after your valediction, "Any thoughts on these matters?" I had some, so I posted in response to your open invitation. Now you don't want any more responses. Too many "hard knocks" contained therein I have to guess.
It appears to me that you seek to prevent me from delving any further into what you have written, because it is so rife with error. It is too late. What you have written is permanently recorded forever to be forevermore closely scrutinized by anyone interested in this "28 position" as proffered by you.
I'm up to the task of addressing everything you have written, but it does take time to make sure that what is written does convey the exact meaning to be understood, not the other way around as you have demanded of me above. I intend to write exactly what I mean, and mean exactly what I write.
I will take as much time as necessary to answer every error in your posts with scripture. I will delineate as precisely as possible why what you have written and contend to be the truth is nothing more than plagiarized speculation at best by you. The truth stands on its own two feet. No deals.
What's with this "deal" stuff anyway? You deal with the truth, and if you can't handle it, then drop out, or get right. I am beginning to get the picture of you being the kind of individual who liberally splashes around unsubstantiated material from many varied sources, wanting to have praise from others that don't know any better. Earn respect by dealing with the truth honestly and openly where everyone can see what is being said.
