Yet refuse to follow it. Why is that?
Evidence for that accusation, please. You have no way of knowing who made that report or even if a report was made at all. For all you know a moderator simply happened to read it. Typical biblical gibberish. Do you need someone to explain everything you read to you? Again with the insults. |

But perhaps you have not read, or no one has told you that this world will eventually be governed by Yahweh---Revelation_11:17 saying: [hiliute]"We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign. [/hilite]
So you SEE Craig, I am merely warning people that there will come a time when this world will be governed in accordance with the holy commands of the Yahweh the Creator. So if your conduct is outside the boundaries of Yahweh’s command, you need to repent in order to alleviate his wrath. Romans_1:18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, |

What insults, stating the truth cannot be an insult—so why are you representing the man, he can speak for himself.
Initially everything needs to be explained, either by demonstration or explanation—this is what Jesus did. It had to be explained how things works---Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Gen 1:2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. Gen 1:3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. So now we know how it all began, would have not known if it were not explained. Matthew 19:4 "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So, we would be entirely in the dark, had not the Creator revealed to us how it BEGAN!! Now the world with all its advancements is still as it was in the beginning---Gen 1:2 Now the earth was (is)formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, Have a good day. |

Yes that seems to be the case at the moment, but take note when the time comes, then the power of Yahweh will become evident to all as is prophesied by Jesus---
Mark 9:1 And he said to them, "I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Kingdom of God come with power." BUT remember this is a prophecy. Rev_11:17 saying: "We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign. So, you SEE the term begun has not yet begun, it is very close now. |

How stupid of me—I did not mention the darkness of sin that reigns in the world today.
John 3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. |

You just compared another member to a eunuch. Pretty insulting.
You are not Jesus nor anything remotely like him as described. You explain nothing and demonstrate nothing and break the laws specified by same Jesus. No light at all because he hadn't created the Sun yet. Also Gen 1 and Gen 2 totally disagree on the order of creation. Nope. We know how the bible claims it all began. The bible can't even agree with itself about that and in any event has no explanatory power at all. Further we know that the bible creation account is flat out wrong. Sure we have read it. I find nothing compelling in a circular argument by an anonymous author. Further, I have read The Lord of the Rings. Doesn't make that true either. Were we to accept the bible account we would be in the dark because it explains nothing and is factually incorrect. Did you miss the enlightenment? The earth is neither formless nor empty. All of the oceans experience daylight. Wrong again. |

The comparison was that a person or an eunuch needed the Scripture to be explained as the person reading the Scriptures did not understand what he was reading, so how can that be insulting?

Comparing anyone to a eunuch is insulting.
No insult there at all. You have told us you do not follow all of the laws. Wrong. Science has a much more accurate picture developed without the bible and which directly contradicts the bible and which has evidence to back it up. For example, the bible would have it that light came first and some time later, the sun. We know that is completely backwards. |

Should we follow Deu 18:20-22? |

But was not the eunuch unable to understand what he was reading, this is my comparison not to a person being an eunuch. What I am saying is that a person can read something and not understand what he is reading and as a result cannot fathom out the meaning?

Well that is what you say—but not what is written. Romans 2:17 Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the Torah and brag about your relationship to God;
I am not a Jew, but I do rely on the Torah, and I do have a relationship with God. AND again Romans 2:18 if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the Torah; You SEE Sir or maybe you do not SEE—the Scriptures confirm what is experienced by those who love the Creator. What is a prophet but the one who declares the word of the Creator regardless of the opposition. So IF only you understood prophecy! |

It remains an insult no matter how you dodge.
We have a list of the laws you claim not to follow. In many cases there is nothing stopping you from following them. You simply don't like them. Are you admitting to being an a-la-carte christian? Selecting the parts you like and rejecting those you don't? Wrong. Science does not stop there. Oh. Now you embrace intelligent design. The universe is in no way residing in a complete state. No need. Experts have known that it is bass-ackwards for centuries. Unless you are now going to change your mind and claim that Genesis is not true but simply a metaphor for something else. Bear in mind you will be immediately denying others of your claims. Try another. What happens to plants without sunlight? Do you know? Answer my question, please. Should we obey Deu 18:20-22? |

And apparently he considers cunnilingus to be impure even within marriage. I feel really, really sorry for his wife. The poor woman. I hope she has plenty of time for go-cart racing. https://misbehavinmaidens.bandcamp.c...y-masturbating |

The END
A lot of people envisage the END, but this person has a terrible picture for the END

THE END™ has been bruited about innumerable times in innumerable cultures by innumerable alarmists/crackpots/self-appointed visionaries. Barely rises to the level of click-bait these days.

Yes that is true, but there was no real call to repentance, repentance is the opportunity the Creator is giving people repent of the evil that is so prevalent today. Other proclaimist just want the END to come, regardless of atonement. Yahweh wants people to come to their senses and change their attitude. So before the Great and terrible Day of the LORD, there will be evidence given to support the call to repentance. |
