Oh yes, this old chestnut. You've said it more times than I could keep count of. And you've also roasted this particular old 'show me a quote' chestnut more times than I can remember too. So, no, I am not going to go looking for a quote. I'm not falling for that one again. Go away and find the quote, or three of them, or six of them, and then have you blank it out? No thanks.
When I say, "Show me the quote" I want to see the context and exactly what I said. That is if you are correct that I did write something as you claim.
I have no idea if you were ever a Christian or not.
I have never said that I knew.
I have never said that I TOOK your word for it.
One or two times I may have played along with your posture of "I'm and Old Hat at being a lover of Jesus" just to explore the idea.
so, your saying "This is sonship's LINE for years" is your exaggeration. And you don't want to back it up with evidence.
Maybe,,,
MAYBE ... One time I played along with your theory. And you remembered it and blew it up in your mind as some "line" of mine used year in and year out.
You're mighty subjective about things like this.
Maybe three times in the last 10 years I referred the general readership to
Revelation 21:8 explaining that perhaps the
"cowardly" mentioned
BEFORE the
unbelieving could mean those who know Jesus is the Son of God but for fear of man will not confess Him so.
I have used that passage in that way. And I will probably do so again. I don't recall writing it specifically to
YOU.
If you FIND an instance when it is clear that I said it specifically to FMF, you'll get my admission of error concerning my recollection.
But to this present moment, right now, I have NO IDEA if you have ever known the Lord Jesus or thought you did.
Your kind of testimony, I have never accepted as something I know to be true.
