Pulling teeth

[payattention]

Tall, I am an educator and a scholar. I am tired of Christians who "know the truth" who can only respond with anger or embarassment when they are confronted with probing questions about what they claim to know. This is because no one bothered to "pull teeth" with them. They were told what to think but not how to think. I asked every possible question I could think of and answered them before coming to my conclusions. I will not give people fish but help them learn how to fish. Most don't know how, as can be seen from their reactions to questions.

Was this intended to be its own thread, or part of the EGW discussion?

When I read statements like this I just wonder where Christ's humility is!

Maybe that would have been better as a PM? We don't know the spirit in which it is posted and I prefer to think in this way: how I express some things is not how another will, and I appreciate the differences.
At any rate, is it bragging or is it just stating some facts about himself?

Good question! I really can't say, but I can only express what I see.

I too, agree with you about the PM option.

I think he was actually replying to the EGW post, and while addressed to me, it makes more sense in that context.

The pulling teeth reference was originally mine.
