SJ... You're such a pretty woman I'm going to be as nice as I can be about this.
You're going to be "nice" because of how I look?! Shouldn't you be "nice"... because you OUGHT to be nice, regardless of how I look?
You are obsessed about the use of the word key as you were about hearing before. Your wild assumption is the word cannot be used outside of a reference to Christ.
No, I beg to differ. I can think of a MILLION ways to use the word "key" outside of a reference to Christ. However, you entitled your post "The Simple KEY to Finding God,"... and then you overlooked the KEY... Christ... again. Methinks your title suggests that the word is in direct reference to God, and thus is INSIDE. How then can it NOT include Christ?
How silly. Especially in this case. I selected the title specifically in challenge to your last declaration. I baited you to react the way you did. I tested my use of the word as to whether it conflicted the slightest with the importance of Christ in salvation.
Yet, your motive is.... ummmm, "pure". Smacks of deceit to ME, but...
You are putting the cart before the horse. The key to being found by Christ (the key to salvation) is willingness to seek. No problem. Totally innocent. Totally correct.
But "The Key to Being Found by CHRIST" was not the title of your thread, Zech, and what you are resorting to here are those past WTBTS methods... you know, where you say one thing... but really mean another? Deceit. Truly. Sure, you SOUND 'innocent' and so many here might think your motive clean and pure. But the WTBTS sounds innocent to, don't they, to those who can't hear their deceit? All I am doing is trying to warn you, "pull your coat", as they say... if you've a mind to BE warned. You know: whether you hear... or refrain.
I wish you would stop questioning my motivations. My conscience is clear.
Questioning your motivations? I'm not questioning them; I am only obeying what I have been instructed to say to you, that they are quite clear to my Lord: you wish to be thought "wise"... and "discreet in your own eyes," and should most probably cease from it... before you blaspheme... again. However, if YOU don't have a problem with it, certainly I don't. Now, as for my Lord, well... may I suggest you take it up with him?
At the time I posted it I was prepared to get nasty should you repeat trying to highjack my threads with your pronouncements.
Well, at least you're honest in that... and I thank you for being so...
I saw your beautiful picture and decided I'd give you the benefit of the doubt.
Zech, I am but flesh and blood. Trust me. And in that light, please know that in some instances, flattery works on me as well it does on the next gal. But not in this one. Sorry. I am just a messenger, a servant... trying to obey my Master. I was "sent" and have spoken to you what I was "given." I am glad you liked my picture, but what I look like... and your enjoyment of it... is truly irrelevant. Moot. Of no significance whatsoever. Please, then, give me that benefit of the doubt that you say you do and consider what I am on the INSIDE... and why it is that I speak to you as I do.
I don't know really what your problem is with me.
I have no problem with you, Zechariah. None whatsoever. But certainly, in light of the very position that YOU take, that you must "force" folks out of their deluded state and disbelief of God, you should most certainly be able to understand MY position... and why it is that my Lord has sent me to you. Failing that, dear, you are a hypocrite, for you do not wish to do... or have done to you... what you wish other to do... or do to you... which is LISTEN... HEAR... and GET THE SENSE OF IT... when someone is "sent" to you.
But my patience is running thin. I am biting my tongue.
Well, only you control that, Zech...
Dont know how long it will last.
And certainly, then, neither do I. Perhaps my Lord does, though, and wishes to warn you... once again... before you blaspheme... once again.
I exhort you, then, Zech, to LISTEN... HEAR... and get the sense of it.
A slave of Christ,
SJ
