I was a bit confused by this post, Bro Starcher has stated he wants
dialogue, he wants to better the "Apostolic Way", yet when I finally get
totally away from my feelings and get into the Word of God he says that
he is ending dialogue. This is nowhere near the response I was desiring.
I desire to get into the Word to get to the truth and I have always
found that if you let the Word of God speak to you then the guidance of
the Holy Ghost will lead you into truth.

Bro Starcher, I do not know what you are referring to by "It is time for
our dialogues to end Brother Clifton". Does it mean you are not posting
here anymore...or are you not responding to me anymore? I do not mean to
run you off, but I do desire to get out of the realm of philosophy and
discussions of labels and get into the Word and get to life
applications. You have oft stated that I claim 100% truth in my
doctrine, to which I respond that while I currently see no error I
acknowledge that it could have errors. So yes I think I am right,
everyone should think that or they best change their doctrine! You again
claimed that my doctrine was tainted due to outside influences and I
asked you "Do not tell me that I am wrong, show me where I am wrong."
This should not be a stopping point, you have an open door here with
many, if you can prove your assertions and my mistakes with the Bible
then I am all ears, if you wish to stay with philosophy and psychology
then you have no witness for me.

I too wish you the best and pray that you remain an apostolic, that you
hold to the first works and maybe one day we will have a heavenly
moderator to over see this discussion and get us on the same page :o)

Lord Bless;
Bill
