What makes me think you have time is that you brought up all the points he is addressing. Now that you are being called out to answer each point instead of discipline and mental control you display laziness and attacking others. Congrats, you are more like your “father in the Word” than you realize.

Yeah, sure. It's all our own fault. Could it have been the way we were dressed?

Talking to yourself again, Mike?

It's sadistic. When "a grad" tries to follow all the "rules" and, predictably fails, "the leader" is getting pleasure from that futility. When "a grad" realizes they are on a fools errand and speaks out, "the leader" gets a kick out of that, too. . . Cause there will be no remorse. The slippery (pun filled) language is chaos for chaos sake. There is no desire to communicate anything of substance. Just generate something that looks like a conversation . . . For the sake of angst, frustration, suffering.

PFAL should only be a step in the journey of knowing God and knowing the Lord Jesus Christ, more fully. Not one of us can attain complete knowledge, so why should a mere stepping stone (just one) be the only thing? Stepping stones are meant to lead somewhere. There is sooooo much more to learn - from gospels to epistles and beyond - and from commentaries and research from appropriately qualified experts (of which wierwille was not one). If someone dithers on a single stepping stone, eventually others who want to go further will either push the ditherer in, or he'll have to go back. This? Or this? I like the way people are helping others along in this picture. But there does seem to be a ditherer at the back.
