If you have take it to the Lord not me.

To run with the "big dogs" is to be lied about, falsely accused, smeared, misunderstood, and whole lot of other disgraceful things.

Mind you the payoff at the end, after all the agony is:

So then you will not be afraid of Chris' question- 54 years of addiction to what?

No, not at all, I know God will work it out for my benefit no matter what happens in my answering the question. He said so as I pointed out at 3/3/14 7:18 AM

54 years of addiction to the drug called cigarettes, 39 years while being saved.

My doctor told me cigarettes are more addictive than cocaine.

Dopey, when you continue to be cryptic and indirect, it gives me an uneasy feeling because I feel like your riddles are meant as underhanded, patronizing sarcasism that means to offend I always feel like you are trying to set me up to look like a fool, then pass judgement on on whatever my answer may be to your well planned questions.

John UK, are you in a sharpening mood?

A couple of weeks ago I took stock of some things. I noticed that I had four computers, two of which I bought new about a year and a half ago and neither of which I had ever used.

I also had one used one I had bought about a year and a half ago and which I had used a couple of times.

I also had one about 10 to 11 years old which I used about 99% of the time including all of any time I spent on the internet, thus including SermonAudio.

Perhaps I thought I needed one for each hand and each foot

Well John if you care to sharpen, I will respond; if anyone else tries it until you have I will ignore him/her.

Dopey2, you are a hoot. You really are

Dopey2: "Everyone sees you for who you are, except you. Wonder why?"

God's word to Dopey wrote:
...
2 Peter 3:16
......in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

I am afraid you can't get away from your foolish claim to be God!

The heading reads God's word to Dopey and you wrote the heading thus you are in fact stating you are God, but I doubt that you realized that when you wrote it. Liars and people of little knowledge generally haven't got a clue what they are really doing.

By the way I suggest you pay attention to what you wrote:

2 Peter 3:16
......in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

You say you are God, I don't say that I am God. So, you might want to take some of your own advice that you give:

Colossians 3:9
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds

You say you are God, I don't say I am God. I am a sinner saved by Grace through faith. You are clearly lying by saying you are God. Care to explain your claim to be God further? Why should I take advice from a liar. Satan quotes Scripture.

You say, passing yourself off as God, :

My verdict on you:

Acts 8:23
For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.

Lurker: "I have no choice but to part ways with you and I respectfully ask that you respect my decision by not posting to me."

Dopey: Lurker, I have respectfully considered your request in the light of scripture and this is the answer I have received:

God: "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men."---
Acts 5:29

So

God: "And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces."---2 Kings 2:11-12

Dopey: Lurker do you notice in 2 Kings 2:11-12 that Elijah got raptured?

Dopey: Lurker do you notice in Ezekiel 8:3 that Ezekiel got raptured?

Christopher000: "I can tell you first hand that it is as difficult to break away from as any physical addiction."

Dopey: Physical addictions certainly can be very hard to "break away from." Take for instance my over 54 years physical addiction."

Christopher000: "I think the most damage is caused by..."

God: "And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know."---
1 Corinthians 8:2

Christopher000 wrote:
...I think this is where the buck stops for most because its no easy thing to supress the lusts of the flesh or intellectual pride.

God: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."---
2 Timothy 3:16-17

Your inability to think sure entitles you to use that moniker.
Christ's utterances were not open to interpretation, nor did Peter argue against the utterance on the basis that he could not accept the interpretation.
What Peter does is demonstrates his Jewish mindset, not understanding that Messiah should die. Remember that the Jews thought that he would come to set up an earthly kingdom (now where have I seen this before, duh!).
He thought to prevent Christ from dying and justly got the rebuke that he deserved.
The word of God here was plain, but he recoiled from its implications.
Your application of the passage is complete amiss. But then again I didn't expect you to deal fairly with Scripture because you prefer to twist it, like your father who is a liar from the beginning.

And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?---Luke 6:39

Observer wrote:
In the context, Peter screwed up a prophetic announcement did he?

Observer, note carefully the two verses that proceed Matthew 16:23:

From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.---Matthew 16:21-22

Matthew 16:21 partially sets forth the context for Matthew 16:23 that being Christ's prophetic announcements concerning things that would soon happen to Him in Jerusalem.

You think you're so clever, taking the name of the Lord in vain.
Okay, Dippy, give us a Scripture to support your last stupid comment.

I believe you are going to get a "Get thee behind me, Satan" in the not to distant future.

It's called Sola Scriptura, which a Romanist like you will never be able to accept.
As for the twaddle in your previous post, just more scripture twisting, do you find the Apostle Paul pretending to be a false teacher just to test the early converts?
Keep digging, troll.
