You are seeing help when it is offered. Not sure what else to do.
I am out of this thread.
Yes, I see help when it is offered. You aren’t offering any help. I asked you for help. You refused to give help. You then left the thread. I respect and acknowledge that.
That’s not how this works. You can make a point, or you can counter someone else’s points, but you don’t get to render someone’s argument as invalid by declaration. In an attempt to proclaim my argument as invalid, you actually conceded the point I made. “Paul was an ultra-fundamentalist Jew.”
As an aside-- he wouldn’t consider his prior fundamentalism as a badge to shine the way you do. You point to Galatians, where Paul ashamedly admits–
‘For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I was savagely persecuting the church of God and trying to destroy it. I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my nation, and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my ancestors.’
Thanks everyone, I think sufficient advise and guidance has been given to this young man.
I’m closing this down. Any further communication can be rendered directly to him.
