(N) You construe scriptures to make them appear to you to be consistent. In doing that, you apply your own unique brand of reasoning. You then deny that you have used any reasoning, because the scriptures are self consistent (A) There is no construction or self consistency of Scripture in a quote "THIS IS THAT". It is you and Nick both who use scripture as long as it suits you then ignore it when it does not.. other wise you could argue your positions from scripture but you do not because your position is not maintained in scripture! Otherwise you could demonstrated that it does. It is both you and Nick that Construct Scripture. You keep wanting to use "reasoning" but neither of you actually apply it. If you are going to use scripture as the basis of your arguments then how is ignoring scripture "reasonable" or logical? I have yet to ignore any scripture and where there is a question I refer to scripture. If scripture is the authority then why cant you do the same.. If it is not the authority then why are you trying to use it to support your positions. You are not using scripture you are reasoning and finding scripture that suits you, but only as so long as it suits you. The inconstancy is enti rely yours and Nick's. Show from scripture that these things are not the case..... otherwise you are arguing from a baseless position in the first place, and trying to make it look like your "reasoning"?????? Your doing everything in your power to ignore the point!... Further, I have ignored Paul in the past and argued strictly from the L& P and Jesus and Revelation you won't accept plain scripture their either .. so you can?t say I am arguing in circles with Paul. In fact you have yet to establish that as a fact except to say that you belive it based on your reasoning about the Old law, which itself was your interprtiation completly external and ignoring SCRIPTURE in the L&P and Jesus. You want to belive it, fine but that proves nothing. "Dr. Neville Jones" <ntj005@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Allen Daves <allendaves@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: You miss the point. No, Nick has not missed the point at all. It is you who cannot see the point. You construe scriptures to make them appear to you to be consistent. In doing that, you apply your own unique brand of reasoning. You then deny that you have used any reasoning, because the scriptures are self consistent. In the same way, you support Saul by quoting extensively from his epistles. Never do you consider that you could be wrong. You cannot see the circular nature of your position. There is only one anchor. Only one certainty. Everything else must tie in with that. If it contradicts it, then it has been thrown in by the devil to mislead those that are not looking for the anchor. Neville. --------------------------------- How much free photo storage do you get?
