Your strange an horrible beliefs are put here by yourself to be questioned sonship.
Like I don't respond to questioning ?
One of the tools in your trolling toolkit is to try to make a poster feel SO uncomfortable by a repeated, repeated, repeated, AND repeated question, that to get you off their back they finally say exactly what you want them to say.
Doesn't work with me.
Your repetition in asking is your own flimsy self aggrandizement. Some delusion of your own infallibility.
I simply point out that the tactic you relish putting on others you coward away from yourself.
So was that group of yours "The Church of the Yellow Streak Running Up Your Back" ?
Still afraid to tell the world who are the congregations you have met with ?

Is Revelation meant to be read as being entirely literal and if not then which parts are literal and which are methaphors and how do you personally tell the difference?
START ... with the passages which the writer clearly TELLS you, are symbolic and of WHAT.
START your research with those passages first.
It will require that you READ the book of Revelation though, and carefully.
Find and mark all the passages which in that very vicinity of the sentences, TELLS you plainly - "Now this means this ... etc."
Then maybe we can go on to some of the more difficult cases.
I’m not interested in being led or taught by a Christian who cannot honestly answer even the simplest of questions about his beliefs.
Watch:
I did it. You do so also in reciprocation -
Websites of congregations you have gathered with, so we can examine THEIR Statement of Faith, Stated Beliefs, or In Order to Be Saved paragraphs.
Like you did with me ----- "The Beliefs and Practices OF ------------ ??" Groups YOU'VE met with and shared beliefs.
What is this? The Great Church Council of the Lone Ranger ?
There's not ONE Unitarian or Oneness Pentecostal congregation you're not ashamed to be identified with ???
They don't have to be a perfect utopia. I just want to examine their stated beliefs the WAY you put mine up to your microscope. What are you scared of anyway ?
About your ... postured interest in interpreting Revelation?
Excuse me Doofus Maximus, READ FOR YOUR OWN SELF THE BOOK, And start with collecting the passages which the author INTERPETS.
Collect them - the seven lamps are the seven churches, (intepreted for you)
the seven eyes are the seven Spirits of God, (intepreted for you)
etc.
You don't need "other Christians" for this. That is other than John the author.
Even if you have problems with John being the author you can still do this on your own.
The unanswered question in my OP in that thread stands as beacon indicating your vanity and error.
My reply to your OP was the FIRST post after your OP. It was the SECOND post.
I talked about credit, boasting, accountability for my way of thinking.
Me not being KellyJay is not me ignoring the question of your OP.
