    Why don't you consider his twelve paragraph typed reason for why he wants to leave relevant to a discussion on his views being a postmodern relative reason?

    Please explain how that "discussing contrary arguments is not loving?" is unrelated to the OP?

    Thinking of leaving - my reasons

    How is this out of line of this OP? Where does the Bible say that discussing contrary arguments is not loving? Since you don't have an answer then it must not be a Biblical position for you to say "let's agree to disagree" and "not be concerned with what is Biblically right and wrong". So, if...

    Thinking of leaving - my reasons

    Why won't you answer me with where are you getting this idea of not voicing a disagreement to someones ideas from the Bible? Where does it say that is what love is?

    As I have explained, the OP's lament is a hypocritical ad homenim.

    Thinking of leaving - my reasons

    There are threads where no debating occurs. You or the OP don't have to click and read or participate in the threads that are debating. But like I asked you earlier, where do you see in the Scriptures that love accepts or celebrates ideas contrary to the Scriptures and that if a person make...

    Thinking of leaving - my reasons

    Paul has a different definition for love than your "celebrating the differences" idea: Galatians 2:11 (NLT) But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him publicly, speaking strongly against what he was doing, for it was very wrong.

    Thinking of leaving - my reasons

    I just gave a Scripture that shows Scripture is complete for everything we need revealed about what God wants but you didn't give Scripture to support your idea because Jesus didn't do any different things from what is recorded.

    Thinking of leaving - my reasons

    I don't understand what you are talking about because I didn't start an "I am/ am not greater than God" argument, someone else wants me to argue that and I can't figure out where that came from? It's left field.

    The cursed fig tree

    Before jumping to unrelated passages in Proverbs consider the context of the final clause Jesus said, "...but you have made it a den of robbers." from Jeremiah and what God did to Shiloh. Do you remember what happened to Shiloh?: Jeremiah 7:1-15 (NLT) "The Lord gave another message to...

    That is good that you agree the passage is speaking of Gentiles.

    Islam on these forums?

    The use of "Allah" doesn't automatically mean an Islamic theology. Christian Bibles translated into Arabic use "Allah" for "God".

    The cursed fig tree

    The emphasis is on the who and them and they that repeatedly referrs to the Gentiles (9 x's) not the Temple which is only mentioned three times. Isaiah 56:6-7 (NLT) "I will also bless the Gentiles who commit themselves to the Lord and serve him and love his name, who worship him and do not...

    The cursed fig tree

    It is determined soley by the intent of the author and how the author used it. In this case, "all nations" is referring to the previous clauses that ran up to the conclusion "because my house..." where the subject noun is "Gentiles".

    The cursed fig tree

    The meaning of words is determined by the context not by a lexicon or dictionary. It is bad exegesis to pick a meaning out of a dictionary just because you like that particular meaning for that word.

    The cursed fig tree

    The context of Isaiah determines what Isaiah was calling all nations. Isaiah 56:6-7 (NLT) "I will also bless the Gentiles who commit themselves to the Lord and serve him and love his name, who worship him and do not desecrate the Sabbath day of rest, and who have accepted his covenant. [7]...

    The cursed fig tree

    No I didn't, Isaiah is the one who said it: Isaiah 56:6-7 (NLT) "I will also bless the Gentiles who commit themselves to the Lord and serve him and love his name, who worship him and do not desecrate the Sabbath day of rest, and who have accepted his covenant. [7] I will bring them also to my...
