"eposting for all you brave hell-fire Christians, as per KellyJay’s request:


Here’s a passage for all you hellfire and burning believers to have a look and and tell me this; which bits are literal and which are metaphors and symbolisms?

From Revelation 19 "

I was under the impression the question was about 19 since it was the very
first thing we see in this OP. Just another dodge here, or you going to answer
my questions now.

Lying, hmm lets see yep. You are not following through with your promises and
now calling me a liar. Familiar tactic, hope you grasp this is common for you, so
that you can and do repent of this as you have done in the past when you realize
you've done wrong.

Or you'll double down on this type of thing, you've done that in the past too.

Questions have been asked to you too. I will answer him when I'm free to sit down
and look up the text and study it a little. It will be on my time table, not yours. In
the mean time you seem to be backing away from your word and falling into instead
a pattern of behavior I've come to except from you.

Your emotions rule your method of interpretation of the Bible.
That's a good thing. Emotion and conscience should influence the way you interpret the Bible. Or do you believe God wanted you to come to scripture robotically and without emotional insight?

Do you recall I told you not to long ago this was a pattern for you?

You should have started another thread since you are moving the goal posts.

How do you want people to view your words and thoughts? Personally I want them
to look for my intent not their desires to prove what they think is true without
taking to account my intent. Look at this thread, there is one poster who implies
deceit for other's words, is that emotion to prove their own views, and not take into
account why the one they accuse is actually saying and why.

By becoming a Christian and being filled with God's spirt, love and compassion, you should bring these qualities with you when you come to scripture, not turn them off.
