Isaiah 53 Verse 10

[ThomasDGW]

Listen, Praise, you need to be better grounded in both the old testament and the new testament. It is dangerous to claim to speak the truth, yet to be uncertain of how you know it is the truth. And if it is the truth, why don't you want to convince others? Is this truth you speak of unimportant?

What a change since you introduced yourself. It seemed to me that you were quite confused about being a Christian, now you are teaching others.

Apparently, you have some kind of filter through which you read my introduction. After giving a brief history of my times of confusion, I stated clearly, "my doubts were cleared up by a coherent message found in the text of both the NT and the Hebrew Bible." and " I now have multiple, serious differences of doctrines with all branches of Christianity." and "I quit attending..."

How on earth could you think that I introduced myself as being confused about being a Christian?

I described myself as "wandering in the wilderness". Maybe that was the only thing you read, and thought that meant confused. No, what I meant was that I am roundly rejected by both Christians and Jews, so that I have no home.

I have found that Jews and Christians will put up with any statements of any belief, as long as the person is somewhat unsure about his belief. I said basically the same things in other posts here that I said in my deleted post, but this time in the context of addressing an unsure Christian, I got a bit more direct, and now it has suddenly become preaching and proselytizing. I was told to do better. That means start acting like I am unsure. Hmmm. I am unsure if I can portray an attitude of unsureness.
