Thanks.
I was being a little pedantic following your statement that 'the exact phrase "city of water" is not in the Bible.' (When in some translations, it is. - Though not in the context being discussed).

Don't over flatter yourself about how "upset" I get because I meet a little skepticism. Skepticism towards this matter to me is like left over hot dogs and beans. It is no big deal.
Think about how much "the Spirit" occupies a part of your understanding of the New Testament.[/b]

By "we" you mean to imply that I'm not part of you little in-clique? Oh dear I guess I'll have to live with that 🙂

Hey it's your thread...only you know your true motivations for starting it sonship.

No scepticism here, just straightforward Biblical based disagreement and highlighting of you inventing your own teaching.
Think about how much the Spirit occupies a part of your understanding of the New Testament.
Originally posted by sonship [b] Divegeester, Rajk999, Robbie Carrobie I have a question for the three of you. I would like each of you to give your reply to it.
All three of you have written rather disdainful or sneering comments in the thread The City of Water.
Why do you three posters not talk very much about the Spirit of God ?
I see you write a lot ...[text shortened]... write very much about the experience and truths concerning the Holy Spirit, WHY is that ?[/b]
In the past I posted much on the Holy spirit and you simply refused to read it. I have simply better things to do that waste my time with people who are unreceptive and who make claims of,' why don't you talk much about Holy spirit', when they refuse to read anything that conflicts with their dogma.
I was neither disdainful nor sneering, merely remarking that since the trinitarian dogma had tainted what may have been a good discussion, it no longer held any interest for me.

Originally posted by robbie carrobie I have never claimed to be perfect, just a poor sinner in need of redemption, a frail human, prone to aberration.
But of course the key point here being that you have repeatedly refused to read material which conflicts with your church's dogma. You are notorious for it in fact.

I am notorious for not a few things, meh, what's one more. 😵
