The Father is greater than I

It is truly amazing. No one . . . can say Jesus is Lord except in the Holy Spirit.

Such a simple confession, yet full of reality.

@divegeester

I’m calling you out, to your face,

Yea, yea Wyatt Earp.
Sounds like a cowboy shoot out on the streets of Dodge City.

Who could possibly refuse being called out to the face for a duel ?

No, I don't recall some question you raised I did not speak to.
Just because YOU think I should be obsessed with what you claim never got answered doesn't mean I am.

And you're probably not going to indicate what point such a question made.

Are you still upset that you cannot control people?

Here it is again, for clarification.

I’m calling you out, to your face, for being a hypocrite in accosting rajk999 for not answering your questions (you do the same repeatedly) and for being dishonest in pretending you can’t remember refusing to answer direct questions from myself on dozens and dozens of occasions.

Challenging Suzianne much?

@divegeester

zzzzz much.

The question which you insist I am shivering in the corner from, terrified to go back and find - what valuable point did it make, if any, to the OP ?

I said "to the OP?"

I’m aware of your further compounded dishonesty sonship.

@divegeester

I will take your reply to indicate your question had no valuable input to the OP.
You have one more opportunity to describe its contribution . . . to the OP.

Are you willing to answer a few direct yes or no questions Sonship?

Thought not.

@divegeester


Are you going to play your typical gaslighting mind games?
Yes or Yes?

Thought so.

You have challenged rajk999 criticising him for not answering a yes or no answer.

@divegeester


Sure, I will reply to a question or two if I find them constructive to the OP.

Don't bother asking me some loaded question with an embedded accusation or accusatory innuendo cleverly woven into it.

If your question is constructive to the topic I'll reply.
You may not regard my reply as an answer.

So is it also ok for Rajk999 to not answer your direct yes or no questions for the same reasons?

@divegeester

Of course it is "ok" that he do what his free will decides to do.
I cannot insist that he answer openly that Jesus is his Lord.

I cannot control him to write.
He may not write.

Now what I wanted to him to write was this - "Jesus is Lord".
I asked more than once. I do not need to ask for the rest of our time together here perpetually.

Then I accepted it that he chose or chooses not to confess "Jesus is Lord", at least not yet.
Maybe he should start in the
privacy of his own room .

And I pointed out to him the significance of him unwilling or unable to do so.

" . . . and no one can say Jesus is Lord except in the Holy Spirit." (1 Cor. 12:3)

My purpose is neither to embarrass him or humiliate him or even to "win" an argument for winning an argument's sake. My purpose is to get him to consider before God that he really should openly confess in the Holy Spirit that Jesus is Lord.

As to your question "Is it ok Rajk999 [not] answer your direct yes or no question . . . " .

No one can FORCE him to do what his will does not want to do.
Neither me nor anyone else, even God Himself.
In that sense it is "ok" that he follow his own decision.

And it is also "ok" that I accept that decision and point out that he should consider the importance of confessing openly sometime, somewhere "Jesus is Lord". And here is why.

" . . and no one can say Jesus is Lord except in the Holy Spirit" (1 Cor. 12:3). But just as importantly -

"That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; For with the heart there is believing unto righteousness, and with the mouth there is confession unto salvation." (Rom. 10:9-10)

You know eventually EVERYONE will confess Jesus is Lord sooner or latter.
So why not sooner?

"That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

And every tongue should openly confess that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD to the glory of God the Father." (Phil. 2:10,11 RcV my bolding)
