I could get that logic from a six year old. I asked you to back up your claims that the epistles (You won't enumerate which) are by the same author (you won't say who). Quit giving childish answers to serious questions.

But, you are not serious, you have already confessed that you could care less.

I have repeatedly told you that IT has been deduced, for some time now, that one person wrote MOST of the Epistles to the Churches, not the Pastorals.

Any person, perhaps even children, who are familiar with or have done some reading about the opinion of NT scholarship with respect to the Pauline Epistles will know that my assertion is in order.

Please get serious and do your own research with respect to the Pauline Epistles.

You have a perfect opportunity to TRY and destroy my assertion that "IT has been deduced, for some time now, that one person wrote MOST of the Epistles to the Churches, not the Pastorals".

Please, get busy. The clock is ticking.

More childish deflection. I care less about your unsupported opinions and assertions. I am interested in seeing some evidence. You made a claim and it is your responsiblity to support it.

You claimed that one person "wrote most of the Epistles to the Churches." You could easily answer the following questions:

1. Name the Epistles
2. Name the author you claim to have authored them
3. Offer evidence that all of the epistles in item #1 are written by the author of item #2.

Quit being a baby and give an adult answer to a serious question.

Capitalizing and bolding IT is not evidence. You need to document who deduced what , and why you think these partiulcar arguments are compelling. There are many different positions by scholars on these subjects and it is simply bad methodology not to identify your sources.

However, many people are beginning to conclude that you are incapable of carrying on a rational discussion. Every time you come back with a non-substanative reply, you reinforce this conclusion. <edited>

Well, just destroy IT.

I am waiting for you to TRY to destroy my assertion that IT has been deduced, for some time now, that one person wrote MOST of the Epistles to the Churches, not the Pastorals."

The world is watching and waiting.

jakejonesiv

Each time you produce a non-substanative reply you dig yourself a deeper hole. You can't even name the epistles in particular you think were written by the same author, and you can't even name the author. Do you not even know the names of the New Testamant epistles? Are you that stupid?

jakejonesiv

That is the issue. There is no IT to destroy, it is all vapor.
I have no desire to destroy IT, only to draw out from you an explanation so I can understand it. ><

Name as many epistles as you can that you think are by the same author, name the author, and give evidence that the same author wrote the named epistles.

aa5874

The names of the Epistles to the Churches have been known for some time now. And even children, I suppose, know the names.

Please, destroy my assertion, if you can, that "IT has been deduced, for some time now, that one person wrote MOST of the Epistles to the Churches, not the Pastorals."

jakejonesiv

See, you keep weaseling. It is impossible to know whether you are excluding certain epistles other than the Pastorals because you will not say. That is childish. I have no interest in destroying your assumption. I just want to know what you are writing about and the evidence you used to arrive at it.

You claimed that one person "wrote most of the Epistles to the Churches." You could easily answer the following questions:

1. Name the Epistles
2. Name the author you claim to have authored them
3. Offer evidence that all of the epistles in item #1 are written by the author of item #2

Quit being a baby and give an adult answer to a serious question.

Since this exercise is going nowhere, it can go nowhere in it's own thread.

Thanks.
