Consider my monikers as "titles" to my postings. That's all they are really, just titles to my postings. This is a bulletin board, and I'm not looking to make friends here or meet anybody here, and especially not you least of all.

I'm posting the truth, and that's all I can do. You are an incredibly ignorant and deceived and probably demon possessed man. Jesus said, the truth will set you free, so if you'd start out by believing the Bible, stop twisting it around to cater to your sinful desires to make Paul into a lower creature than yourself -- you could be free as Jesus said.

Paul is describing in Romans 7 either an unsaved man or a man who is saved but not walking in the Spirit.

And in Romans 8, Paul says that those who do not walk in the Spirit are not the sons of God.

And those who do not walk in the Spirit, are not led by the Spirit, are grieving, quenching and insulting the Spirit, and will wither on the vine and be broken off and go to Hell.

So actually you are coming down firmly with your Gang of Five, that Paul actually said and probably meant that he was indeed the worst sinner, present tense, that he continued to be the worst sinner after his conversion as he was before his conversion.

Paul the Antichrist, the cryptoChristian, the hypocrit who called for others to live holy while he went on sinning, the chief of sinners.

I did deal with it. It's all in Romans 8.

Romans 7 sets up the dilemma of what it means to be an unsaved person who wants to do right but can't.

Romans 8 tells what happens when a person is saved, has the Holy Spirit, and now has power to live right.

And Paul says that whoever does not walk in the Spirit is not a Christian. Period.

Paul walked in the Spirit. Paul said he was chief of sinners because he was referring to having done the worst sins. He obviously was no longer sinning at all, let alone to be the worst sinner on Earth at the present moment.

You think it's a light little nothing to claim Paul was a present and current chief of sinners. That shows how far reprobate you are, assuming you ever were a believer at any time ever.

You said that Paul only "thought" he was chief of sinners.

So was he actually chief of sinners after his conversion or not, was he just imagining that he was, or did he just wrongly suppose or "think" that he was as you say?

Did he think he was because he actually was the chief of sinners in the present tense?

Or did he wrongly think (imagine) he was chief of sinners?

Since you came on to disagree that Paul actually was chief of sinners and only thought he was, I took that to mean you were claiming Paul only imagined himself to be chief of sinners.

Now you are calling me a liar.

Speak up, Mr. Pastor, and cast your lot. Was Paul the chief of sinners present tense, or was he an exemplary saint of God that we should follow his example (as Paul indeed instructed the church to do, to follow his example.)

Would Paul tell the church to follow his example if Paul was a present tense chief of sinners?

BTW, I'm changing my alias to Common Sense because what I'm saying here a three-year-old child would know, requires no years of experience and Bible study to achieve, as Wisdom would.

Common sense. We know you Gang of Five have no Wisdom.
