    Obviously you did not put on your reading glasse.
    Or perhaps it was your elocution at fault?

    You did say this:
    Every Christian wait and live in the hope of eternal life.
    which is not true.

    OK .. well I did not make that clear .. my fault.

    Christians are supposed to hope for eternal life as Paul said.
    This is contrary to the Christians who claim to have eternal life already.

    And I was answering Dives question about which group I am in.

    Christians dont focus on eternal life. They are supposed to live as Christ lived as best as they can and God will judge and reward as he sees fit.

    Yes they do. I don't think one can fully grasp the NT without the OT, and vise-versa.

    Thanks for 2Timothy, forgot that one. Great verses.

    This is a public forum and your post was clearly directed towards me, any suggestion otherwise is a bit disingenuous... surely you see it. I am sure if you were to ask anyone that really cares, the sentiment would be the same.

    Where do you get that from, I have never said nor implied that Christ or his words are not important.

    You should give some thought to what you say before accusing, it might do you some good.

    i have either offended you in some way or you are just a miserable guy who takes pleasure in belittling others. If the former, I am sorry never meant to cause any offense about anything, if the later... not my monkeys and not my circus.

    Likewise, 'good luck to you with that doctrine'.

    Again and I said this before, your apologies are worthless because you constantly ask me the same nonsense questions and then proceed to apologise .. You are a comedian.

    Neither are you serious about Christ and His doctrine, beause if that were the case you would focus on that and not on personal questions about me.

    It amuses me how you always get prickly when questioned about your personal position with God. You call people "jokers" and other nasty names, yet you preach on about good works and how to be a perfect Christian without demonstrating anything of significance in this forum, than what we all see from each other.
    It's my opinion that you know very little of the "reality" of what you speak about, and are in fact just another clanging cymbal.

    It amuses me that you come from an environment that has taught you that it is ok to ask people personal questions. I know of some people, from such societies deprived of basic manners and training, and they just go around the place making asses of themselves .. much like you are doing. I have asked you nothing personal and I never will. I discuss the doctrine of Christ .. end of story. Your opinion of me is noted but like I keep saying your opinion is of no value to anyone but yourself. God is the judge of people.

    Rest assured its not your last. You have an alzheimers problem. This will repeat itself.

    Im not interested in the last laugh. I would prefer to discuss the doctrine of Jesus Christ whom you claim to believe in. But you make the world of excuses to avoid discussion. I wonder why.

    Why is someone a 'clanging cymbal' just because they know very little about the reality of what they speak? Do you ever take anything 'on authority' form an anonymous source on the internet? If he answered your personal questions, would you be more likely to believe what he says? Would his arguments suddenly be more logical because they came from a self proclaimed saint? Would his Biblical quotations suddenly read differently?

    This is why I like science. Newton could have a horrible personality, and believe in a variety of mumbo jumbo (he was an alchemist) but his science was still good. Because science stands up to scrutiny, and you don't need the scientist to pray five times a day before you accept his results.

    You have asked nothing personal of me, but I am asking something personal of you! I'm afraid that if you come here to preach "works" then you need to demonstrate "works". So far all you demonstrate is a big mouth with a big attitude.
