You typed out all those words and I didn't read 'em past the first sentence.

It's clear. It's plain. Going against it is confusion which God is not the author of . . . so of whose side does that make you a defender?

Consider your way, and repent.

So basically, you saw that I wasn't agreeing with you and immediately dismissed it, and you admit that. Then you tell me to repent for being in error. Your logic is little more than "I am always right and everyone else is always wrong". I suppose I should call you God then? Or has God declared you infallible? No, I do not suppose either of those things.

By the way, "God is not the author of confusion" is never said in the Bible. I suppose you are referring to 1 Corinthians 14:33, Paul's opinion, in which he claims that "God is not of disorder but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the holy". "Confusion" is an archaic English translation used in the KJV, incorrect in today's dialect, and even the context clues in this sentence alone make it obvious, let alone the whole chapter. Moreover, for some reason it added "the author" in italics. I don't know why it did this, but anything in italics was added by the translators, and it is not in the Greek. Make sure to actually verify the things you're told before treating them as rock-solid dogma.

If you aren't even going to listen to me then it's not worth arguing with you. If you shut your ears like a Pharisee you'll never hear anything, including the truth. You will remain ignorant and stiff-necked, full of pride. Such are those who had Jesus killed.

Once again I got to the second sentence and stopped.

Yes. That's it exactly. I'm glad you understand.
