   When the hypocrite wants "staurus" to mean "pole", to the exclusion of   
   having patibulum (cross-beam) attached to it, he argues that the Bible   
   says "staurus", not "cross-beam", as if that constitutes conclusive   
   proof there cannot be a cross-beam attached to the staurus. He argues   
   that "no amount of reasoning which comes from outside the Bible" can   
   change that.   
      
   Then, out of the other side of his face, when he wants the Bible to mean   
   something which it does not say and which contradicts what it plainly   
   says, he argues that secular definitions from outside the Bible should   
   prevail over what the Bible itself says. For example, the Bible says in   
   the latter days men will "believe" a "lie". But Heresy James doesn't   
   want to admit that people can "believe" a "lie". He argues it can't be a   
   lie if he believes what he says to be true. So he looks for every   
   SECULAR definition of "lie" he can find, then argues that since they   
   claim you have to knowingly believe it to be false before what you   
   believe can be called a "lie", then it's wrong to say he's telling a   
   "lie". Thus he EXCLUDES what the Bible says to promote his SECULAR   
   understanding of the word and doctrine.   
      
   How stupid do you think people are, that they will not notice your   
   self-evident pattern of double-standard hypocrisy?   
      
   No, hypocrite. I remain disabused from being deceived by your idiotic,   
   two-faced, hypocritical LIES.   
      
   --   
   Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God   
   raised Him from the dead?   
      
   That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death   
   penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death   
   satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John   
   2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your   
   sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.   
      
   On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on   
   the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name   
   of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
