Dr Ravi Zacharias has died from cancer.
He will be very much missed by those hungering for solid Christian teaching.
Rest in peace Ravi.

AH, //I think you are aware that I was referring specifically to the need for teaching about Christianity, when Theland and others have advised more than once that the answers are contained in the bible.//

I assume you took various subjects at school, but rather than read books on those subjects you relied upon those who had read the books to teach you.

// There you go again with your lofty assumptions that you know what I have read, or not read….You cannot possibly know if I have read the bible or not, so your assertion is nonsense.//

Loftiness or otherwise is irrelevant. To someone who has read the bible your posts very clearly demonstrate that you haven’t.

//Where did you go to school - Mallory Towers?????//

Something like that.

At least AH is consistent.

As a child, I did, but as an adult, I educate myself.

But again, my point is not about education per se, it is specifically about education in Christianity, and to repeat once again, since you appear to have missed my point, Theland and others have pointed out more than once that 'the answers' are to be found in the bible, and my point remains - why would anyone need any 'education' about the word of God, if it is indeed, all in the bible?

// Loftiness or otherwise is irrelevant. To someone who has read the bible your posts very clearly demonstrate that you haven’t. //

Well once again you are entirely wrong, and once again you have no way of knowing what I have, or have not read.

But in the interests of avoiding your pointless and unfounded nonsense, let me state for your benefit that I have read the bible, more than once - and you cannot accurately interpret whether I have or not from what I post on here.

That's down to your own interpretation, which not for the first time, is wrong.

You are entitled to challenge each and every point I make on here - you are not entitled to post untruths about me.

It's what I aim for.

Andy, I'd be sorry as heck to see a promising thread deteriorate into insult and name calling.

Me too - but since I have not insulted anyone, or called anyone names, I can't be held responsible if that happens

It's precisely what he does. He could court controversy and argument in an empty room. I can hardly believe this is a RIP thread and a mod puts a wrecking ball through it and derails it with his carping and sniping.

Yet again you need reminding that all Mods are AB'ers first and foremost, and one status is not connected to the other.

I am not 'carping and sniping', I am raising legitimate questions which are open to discussion - feel free to join in if you wish.

Yes ... I do.... but carry on. Far be it from me to interrupt yet another of your usual rolls.

You should report yourself to Ofsted.

I am intrigued.

If you 'know' what I have or have not read, and I am not talking about your 'interpreting' from my posts, which is obviously not the same thing - but you actually 'know', then I am genuinely curious to hear how you came by that information.

I believe you do not and cannot 'know' and that your persistence in insisting that you do is nothing more than a fatuous wind-up - but as always, I am happy to be disproved, if you can do that ...

[woofgang]

andy, I did not allocate responsibility to anybody.

wow... sounds like track-and-trace is far advanced in some parts of the country! Or perhaps my Kindle has just been hacked?

[andy-hughes]

woofgang - // andy, I did not allocate responsibility to anybody. //

No, but you did address your post to me.

Nothing so sophisticated - it's just nonsense and piffle.

[woofgang]

no I didn't. I copy pasted the relevant passage from the rules. You replied so I answered you but at no time did I suggest or indicate that my quoting of the rules was aimed at you.

Your post from 10:53, in case you have forgotten it.

[naomi24]

No high tech stuff necessary, jno. Reading posts does the job.
