No it hasn't. You and I both know that you couldn't care less about the actual answer. You are a pagan and as such know that God exists and yet you suppress the truth in your unrighteousness.
Christians don't do bible studies with pagans. It's that simple.
Repent and believe before it's too late; God is merciful, cry out to Him.
Yet it is the best way to spread the word but never-mind this aspect.
Your reasoning is:
- I know
- You don't
- Screw you
then
- 'repent and....'
How do you want anyone to repent to anything if there is no knowledge/recognition of a sin?
Funny that 'our justice system' recognizes that when one was out of one's mind while committing a crime one is recognized not guilty. Seems to me that you forgot one thing: You are not the arm of god delivering anything to anyone. Your 'repent' is meaningless. You are the greater sinner here.
Reading the bible, even as a fantasy book, can open one's mind and heart. If one who has not 'repented' as you put it cannot ask questions about it - study in not so many words - you slam the damned door in their faces. You are condemning yourself, not them.
What are you really afraid of? Be corrupted? Is your faith so weak that you cannot accept folks who do not see what to see - or think you see -????
Personally I love folks to be witness of what they cannot understand. Then they have questions that appear offensive like 'WTF?' or 'you believe in this s***?'
My answer usually are
"WTF?"
- You saw/read/heard it as I did
"You believe in this s***?"
- Yup, and proud of it. I even joke about it.
Keep the door open, start a non confrontational dialogue, do not take insults or put downs as anything but the proof there is a need for you be a witness, not an 'avenging angel of death'. This is what you are supposed to do, share, share and share again, even if someone spits on you.
Your language studies using the bible is one thing, your use of it another. At the moment you just show that you maybe a good/excellent linguist but the rest??? You have not learned anything. You are lost in words. You are lost to the world.
Wake up.
