However, after thinking about it, I am not going to give it on this forum. I am going to work on it this evening and give it to those who will ask for it. There are some who are insincere and dishonest enough to not deserve it, but it will be given to them also, if they will ask for it.


Brother tbpew, I've been reading your posts and I am greatly gratified and grateful for the obvious wisdom that the Lord has bestowed upon you. I greatly appreciate you and also appreciate the time that you have taken to impart some fine words here that are also modifed by a moderating spirit. It is a pleasure to read them.

You never know who are reading your posts and are being instructed by them. Sunday night after church a young man came to me and asked if I was the brother Strange that posted on GNC some time ago. I said that I was. He expressed his thanks because he had learned a great deal from my threads and posts there. So, keep it up my brother. There may be someone in China or someone in your neighborhood reading your words that will be helped by them. Certainly, they have been an encouragement to me.

Sounds like if you ask him, he'll tell you.

WE asked for clarification a LONG time ago and what we got was we are too spiritually dumb to understand and then you accept OPs challenge?!?!?!

Good grief. The problem is we don't need more analogies. We need you to just speak plainly, not in riddles or in vagueness nor get uppity when we ask you to clarify what you meant by spirit if not a demon

Get over it.

I already said in an earlier post that if you want an explanation, I have one for you. Read my post. Make your request. It will be provided to you.

No need to have a nervous breakdown. It is not going to do you any good.

I asked him the same question about 4 time as did others and only a page ago did I finally see an answer but it was laced with more pejoratives about how little we are and unable to understand his superspiritual words. Sorry but I read what people post. I don't read what I think they really meant. I expect people, particularly someone of his position, to be clear and patient when asked to explain and not rather resort to "well you are just not spiritual enough to understand"...I can understand english quite well when someone will start using it correctly

See what I mean? More pejoratives. I did ask you several times and you blew me off each time and instead inserted pejoratives like the one above. It was only recently you answered about the word spirit but even then you had to lace your post with pejoratives about our ability to understand, which I guess is code word for "read my mind" because I understand english just fine and you called the spirit a HE., I can see how many people here were lead to believe you were talking about a demon. And rather than just explain what you really meant and even perhaps admit your own fault in how you word your posts, you become condescending and resort to pejoratives about us. If you don't like how I am posting here the maybe you should reflect on your own attitude and ability to respond to my simple questions.

Like I said, Prax...

Get over it!

I already told you that if you still want an explanation concerning your questions, I am preparing an answer. I will have a prepared answer with proof if you will send me a PM requesting it.

Meanwhile, calm down. You are way to excited and agitated for normal blood pressure. This is not good for you. Close your eyes and dream of a beautiful beach somewhere and say softly calm...calm...calm.

I already got my answer it seems, you were referring to the human spirit, but it took several days and several teeth pulled later.

I don't know why you had to get all upset by the questions and resort to ad hominems instead.

BTW my BP is fine and I am not excited or agitated. I'm just very blunt and I speak my mind. And I want to point out again, once again, you use this "shield" you have of resorting to ad hominems by way of pejorative comments. Even now where as you are saying now you will answer questions, you still have to insert the little personal comments.

Can you see how much better it would have been to just admit the way you worded your post in the beginning could be interpreted to mean you were speaking of a demonic spirit and that it's not because we are all spiritual idiots who are unchristlike adding words to what you said?

That's my question.
