Loaded questions cannot be answered yes or no

Quote (toby @ Jan. 28 2012,06:55) ……what you are trying to get me to say…… I am surprised at how many people dilly-dally around answering direct questions for fear of what “I'm trying to get them to say”.  Ed even started a thread about it – as if asking a question on a scriptural forum should be frowned upon.   If your answers are always nothing but the truth, then no one can “trick” you into saying something untrue, IMO.

Hi Mike, (link from this thread)

When addressing others points of view it is best to
address them from “their” understanding, NOT yours.
What myself and others see you doing is the opposite.

You use carefully constructed questions in an attempt
to make others look like 'idiots' for believing as they do,
instead of coming to them from their view for agreement.
This is proven by your own words of calling Princess an idiot.

What I mean is: their understanding needs to be enhanced by giving them new information,
enabling them to change their view. But this is NOT what you do. Instead you try to entrap them.
This method will not bring agreement, but only resistance. I hope I have made myself clear to you now.
If not, I will wait patiently for the next opportunity to arrive, which it surely will if you still do not understand.

God bless

Ed,

They will only look like idiots if in fact their answers to direct, scriptural questions are idiotic. I can't make that happen unless they are already spouting idiotic, unscriptural things in the first place.

Hi Mike,

What is a “scriptural question”?
I'm not asking for examples,
I want YOUR definition.

A question pertaining to the scriptures, Ed. (Just like a spiritual body is a body pertaining to a spirit. )

Hi Mike,

You mean just like the “HolySpirit” is a Spirit pertaining to GOD?  

God bless

Absolutely Ed! A spiritual body is a body that BELONGS TO a spirit being. And the Holy Spirit is a spirit that BELONGS TO God.

Jack,

Your post could be taken two different ways. Is Ed the master of doing what he accused me of doing? Or is Ed the master because he accurately pointed out something I do?

Unfortunately for Ed, the verses he “jumps to” don't have anything to do with supporting his original, unscriptural claim. Ed, answer my question about why YOUR scenario uses different words and carries an entirely different meaning than that actual scriptural teaching.

Hi Mike,

Here is yet another loaded question,
not yet demanding a yes or no at this point,
but nevertheless had to be unloaded to answer. (Link)
Unanswered, you would have turned it into a yes/no question.

Are you CRYING about not being able to tell us why YOUR words don't match the SCRIPTURAL words, Ed?

[Ed J]

Hi Mike,

I answered the question in the thread where it was asked.
This thread is about the way you structure certain questions.
You don't ask questions seeking information, but entrapment.
Here is an “example” where YOU expected me to entrap. (Link)

And I'll repeat once more: Ed, I cannot POSSIBLY “entrap” you in ANYTHING scriptural if you speak NOTHING BUT the scriptural truth.

It would be impossible for me to do so.

Hi Mike,

As Nick has pointed out on a number of occasions,
you make Scripture to appear to argue with Scripture.

Not for me it doesn't, Ed. If it does for you, then you aren't understanding it correctly.

Ask me and I will help you, okay?

Hi MB,
Really?
You have often demonstrated the ability to do so.
Taking the easy road with understanding scripture is often folly.

[mikeboll64]

Well Nick,

Here's your chance to put your money where your mouth is.  Ed started this thead quite a while ago, and even had some verbal support in the beginning.  That is until I challenged anyone to quote an actual “YES or NO” question I had ever asked that couldn't be answered with a YES or a NO.

Not one quote ever emerged on this thread, and interest in it soon dwindled.  Now it only serves Ed's purpose once in a while when I have him backed into a scriptural corner.  When that happens, he comes here to cry a little and try to garner some “hate Mike” support for himself – to make him feel better.

Now that you have thrown your hat into the ring, please explain to all of us how a person who is speaking nothing but scriptural truth could be “entrapped” by scriptural truth.  You say I do it “often”, so it shouldn't be too hard for you to find an example, right?

I'll wait.
