New Living Translation
Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it.
English Standard Version
but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,
New American Standard Bible
but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;
King James Bible
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
You violate this encouragement in nearly every post you create.

one of the things that drives skeptics crazy, is how we Christians can use the Bible to just about almost make it support any thing we want to do.
If I want to answer (usually in my case it probably means if I actually have the answer for a change ) I might apply:
Proverbs 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
If I don't want an answer (usually in my case it might be because I don't know, but occasionally it occurs to me someone is ignoring my answers and keep asking the same thing over and over to play out the clock or waste my time -- who knows)
...but I can apply the verse next to Proverbs 26:5
Proverbs 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

Then, in what has to be dizzying heights of hutzpah, I am expected to take you people seriously.
Of course, the reason why O-Mudd would not mention such things is because he himself is one of the perpetrators referred to above. There's something about "taking the 5th so as to not self-incriminate" and so, no, do not expect an admission of any kind here from O-Mudd.
Did you lose your way from 'under the rock', O-Mudd? Back ... crawl back ... mush!!!

(It looks to me like Jorge ranting then running - which he does on many occasions).

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostBut there are those who think that when they make the claim that the very fact that they said it is substantiation. What's more when they repeat the assertion they think they have provided even more corroborating evidence.
Such people seriously don't understand what the concept of supplying supporting evidence means or else are so full of themselves -- so chock full of hubris -- that they think that the very fact that they said it ought to settle it.

Bless Jorge. Where would be without his antics? I kind of have a soft spot for him . He does try, even if he does not get it. You ought to try and argue against the some of the idiots (yes, they truly are) on other forums.Last edited by rwatts; 09-08-2014, 05:16 AM.

Now, if you would promise - here and now and in writing - that when I posted that evidence you would publicly change your position and do a sort of 'conversion' (you don't have to bow down to God, just acknowledge that your Materialistic stance may actually be wrong and so you will seriously dig deeper) ...... if you made that promise, then I would no longer consider it a waste of my time. Otherwise, you're just a WASTE!
I'm taking bets as to Roy's response to that challenge ...

I have to confess that I had to hold on to my chair after reading R06's howler.
