I don't know if its about control, George. Maybe it's about just wanting to get a straight answer to a question.

I dont know Benincasa, and I dont know Mark, so for me it's not about taking sides here. I'm just someone observing the conversation on the board. But I was glad Benincasa asked the question, because I had been wondering the same thing myself. It's clear Mark doesn't want to answer the question, for whatever reason.

I've found that generally, asking a person a straightforward question more than once is not about "control". It's about pinning them down and trying to get some truth out of them when they're clearly trying to be evasive. And I've found that sometimes a person can tell you a lot about themselves, not just by the questions they answer, but by the way they choose to avoid certain questions you ask them.

I'll post the questions myself again, and lets see if Mark answers this time.

You started this thread with misrepresentation of the owners of JustPreachers. You have way too much time on your hands.

I'm just shaking my head at some of the stuff I'm seeing here. The scornfulness on some of these posts is amazing to me.

I'm amazed that some folk are able to kneel down and pray before God, and not feel convicted over some of the stuff they say to their brethren [and about their brethren] on forums like this.

TRF,
just want to say....
I appreciate your willingness to contribute a different perspective in service to edifying conversation.

Agreed.

I'm amazed that there are folks who will preach about hair length and dress length, but openly and brazenly gossip and bear tales, and see nothing wrong with it.

I think it's called " the divine flesh " doctrine.


WEIRD STUFF GEORGE!

Teklamariam believes Jesus came in real physical flesh just that Mary egg wasn't used. To say he was bron or just appeared is misleading. i've read his book and spoke to him.

You make comments that you can never defend. You don't even know what you believe as far as eschatology. Do you even know where the book of Revelation is?

Uncalled for and condecending.

Again uncalled for and unchristian.

TRF I can appreciate you wanting Mark to answer Benny's question but on the fair side of things Mark asked Benny a question he refused to answer. Don't you think fair should be fair?

Also, having posted with Mark for years I have noticed he likes to shine the light where others prefer the darkness of coverup. Not saying it is right, but that seems to be his previous mode of operation.

Maybe our PMs should be open for his viewing pleasure?

For someone to have come down so strong on Mark for his post this is incredible.

I see no difference in what you were accusing him of and what you have done here.

Looks hypocritical.

Is this being curious and persuading the wrong impression at the same time?

You sir, have a problem.

I do not know his reason, but if it was to get under your skin he has succeeded.
