Isn't it funny how people must show their copy & paste skills by posting lengthy versus from the bible.?

They copy and paste because they have no mind of their own to formulate an answer. They would rather just mindlessly Bible Spam.

Do they realise that they have a few seconds of the readers time to capture an interest before the reader moves on.

Quote "What I do find funny how some people think so much ofthemselves as to put their own opinions above that of God's. Don't you find that funny?"

When anybody speaks their own opinions whether good or bad, it is from God because everyone is part of God

Most readers are just to lazy to read for themselves. So it needs to be quoted to make the proper point. Then my fingers are just too sore to key enter the quotations. So I do copy & paste those. Everything else, I write myself.

Although I am sorely tempted by the same questions posted a hundred times to make a blanket answer for the top 5 and just paste them each time. But isn't everyone here that answers questions tempted too?

maximum readers are just to lazy to examine for themselves. So it needs to be quoted to make the main suitable suited component. Then my hands are basically too sore to key enter the quotations. So I do duplicate & paste those. each and each little component else, I write myself. regardless of the reality that i'm sorely tempted via skill of an identical questions printed one hundred circumstances to make a blanket answer for the remarkable 5 and only paste them each and each and each and every time. yet isn't all individuals maximum suitable suited right here that recommendations questions tempted too?

"See Bible"? The Bible is a big book (66 "books" actually), thousands of chapters and verses.

It is a kindness to be specific rather than general.

And not everyone is a fast typist (or a typist at all).

Nor does everyone have hours to spend on the Internet.

Copying and pasting Bible verses saves time.

It is the Bible itself that is authoritative, not the one who quotes it, whether by typing it out or by copying and pasting.

What I do find funny how some people think so much ofthemselves as to put their own opinions above that of God's. Don't you find that funny?

Actually, I know you don't like for it to be quoted but the Bible does speak of this. I will quote it but you can also 'See Bible':

(2 Timothy 4:3-4) 3 For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories.

This line of thinking reminds me of the ancient Greeks. As a people, at least in later periods, the Greeks displayed an inquisitive trait and were characteristically fond of discussion and conversation about things that were novel. (Ac 17:21) They endeavored to solve some of the major questions of life and of the universe by process of human logic (and speculation). Thus, the Greeks considered themselves the intelligentsia of the ancient world. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians put such human wisdom and intellectualism in its proper place, when, among other things, he said: “If anyone among you thinks he is wise in this system of things, let him become a fool, that he may become wise. . . . ‘Jehovah knows that the reasonings of the wise men are futile.’” (1Co 1:17-31; 2:4-13; 3:18-20) Despite all their philosophical debates and investigations, their writings show they found no genuine basis for hope. As Professors J. R. S. Sterrett and Samuel Angus point out: “No literature contains more pathetic laments over the sorrows of life, the passing of love, the deceitfulness of hope, and the ruthlessness of death.”—Funk and Wagnalls New Standard Bible Dictionary, 1936, p. 313.

There is a lot to think about in a question such as yours. You can ask yourself, do those who answer my questions trust more in imperfect human wisdom or godly wisdom from the scriptures? That is a lot to think about. Because of so many people beleiving in their own understanding is that we have so many religions...

(Proverbs 3:5-6) 5 Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding. 6 In all your ways take notice of him, and he himself will make your paths straight.

===========================

If you would like to know more about this and other themes, next time Jehovah's Witness come to your door, ask them for a free Bible study at your convenience. You will never regret all the knowledge you will acquire and remember that what you do with that knowledge is your choice.

Knowledge + Application = Wisdom

To prove a point or to back up what they're saying.

When they write "See Bible" - What verse? What chapter?

More likely you won't bother so they just copy and paste it.

yeah, they have nothing to prove anyway...
