Too Many Questions
Now hear this: The use of concordances, lexicons and the asking of too many questions are hereby considered forbidden Christian acts.

"A Rant Against Jason Grant"
Perhaps you know of or have come across a “Jason Grant”.
Jason is a person who will tell you that, like you, he’s just “trying to understand” but before he even completes the sentence will tell you what it all means. He is a self professed “expert” in Greek, Hebrew and Babylonian lexicon that will help you to “understand” the “true” context of scripture hidden to all but him. He will reply to your thoughts with “Hmmm, that’s really interesting” and proceed to explain the “real” meaning of the bible by demonstrating he hasn’t heard a word you’ve said. He will respond to your thoughts with 25 questions so extreme and bizarre that only God himself could have the patience to endure it. If you chose to respond to any single one of them, a new list of 25 questions will emerge, growing exponentially to reveal his real motive isn’t to educate but to exhaust. He will manipulate your musings to the ridiculous. He believes that anyone who stops responding to his inane onslaught has done so because he was right all along fueling his belief in his own inerrant understanding. He speaks as if he were a prophet of God who alone was given true understanding and wisdom, a true keeper of the faith, in reality he is a fog. He must always have the last word.
I am done enduring him. I shake off the dust of my feet as a testimony to Jason Grant.

The backbiting condemer becomes a righteous judge of person.
Psa 31:18 "Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous."

The word of God is a sharp-edged sword.
My experience of this blogger is the same as so eloquently stated in the above post.
How predictable.
Whenever you have something constructive to add, say discussing Scripture, just let me know.
