Hi Bob,
Except for the first sentence, your Message 15 is just a cut-n-paste from your blog. The Forum Guidelines state:
  1. Bare links with no supporting discussion should be avoided. Make the argument in your own words and use links as supporting references.
When this rule says to "make the argument in your own words" it doesn't mean your own words written at some other time in some other context. It means words you write just at that moment that directly address the point you're replying to.
The reason that members are discouraged from cutting and pasting words from somewhere off the Internet in reply to another member, even their own words, is that invariably those words written at another time and in another context don't address the point. Your Message 15 is a perfect example. Dr Adequate argued that John 5:26b doesn't even address your claim that Jesus did not have eternal life. By simply cut-n-pasting from your blog you're ignoring Dr Adequate's point.
For these reasons, please do not cut-n-paste from your blog. Read it all you like to refresh your memory, link to it (and tell people where in the link to look since it is long), even quote portions if you like (you can find the documentation for quoting here: Message Code Help), but please pen original compositions when responding.
