Hi Rob,
I noticed this in your
Message 34:

you really have to stop over-reacting and going into preaching mode.
I was not preaching. And I am tired of the accusation meant to disregard everything I have to say.
You say you weren't preaching, but in that case I have to ask, just what was it you were doing? This is from your
Message 31 that Arachnophilia replied to:

Let me ask you Arach... does the truth taste good to you?
Food is delicious, God is good.

The word (logos, reason, or logic) is to be revered. For they are the only transcendental signfied we have. Revelation is nothing more than being logical.

All your example does for me is confirm that what the Bible says is true, as well as confirm my argument...
1 Co 14:9
So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.
Jas 3:5
Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.
Jas 3:6
The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
Jas 3:8
but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

From a moderator perspective, I see no more relevance of these arguments to the topic than if we were having a discussion about some problem with your truck, and they certainly have all the appearance of preaching. Certainly if your minister spoke those words from the pulpit no parishioner would chastise him afterwards with, "Pastor, that twern't preachin'!"
I have a request. In this thread, please no long mention God, the Bible, Jesus or revelation, and please do not quote from the Bible. I recognize the possibility that legitimate and secular arguments for your position about the origins of the word "theory" might be drawn from these sources, but because of your abuse of the
Forum Guidelines and because of a desire to keep the thread on-topic, I am ruling these resources off-limits to you in this thread.
