Tom asked:

am sorry, but I haven't the foggiest what your answer is alluding to. If this is the way you talk to your students, how do they learn anything?

To other posters who are reading this, am I the only one that is getting frustrated with the way xyz answers others?

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the sky with diamonds.

Sorry, Tom, I couldn't resist attempting to try to answer you with as much meaning and logic as our alphabetically-inclined mutual acquaintance. You are absolutely right; without knowing his motivation, it seems clear that he has little interest in "hold[ing] firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it".

His fallback line, not only tossed about irrespective of context, is actually a complete non-sequitur, saying in effect, that since all sins have been paid for, everyone is guilty in God's sight. When one is reduced to that level of illogic it may indicate that further discourse will be unprofitable.

In Christ,
Paul S
