""Can both of you just forgive and forget about your past disagreements? I don't want to see anyone of you leave or banned.
""
Exactly, but Dave is unwilling. I wish he were. I offerred long ago to resolve our disagreeances by email away from here and he refused. Then he was gone for a while and things were fine, I was left in peace. Then he recebtly returned and started badmouthing me in threads I started. Why? Because the issues were never resolved. So I asked him again if we can resolve our issues by email, even if we don't have the "trinity debate" I initially wanted. Again he refused. I tried to discuss with him by email. He refused. I tried ignoring him. Didn't work, he butts into my threads badmouthing me. I tried again to discuss with him by email. Again he refused. He rather argue all day long with me here. So you can see my predicament. I seem to be the only one of the two who is willing to discuss and resolves the issues, while he just wants to insult on these boards.
As you are new and don't know the full story. Dave has these "periods" where he causes a lot of crap here. And I am usually the only one who has the balls to say something, so naturally I became his most viable enemy, the hated one if you will. There have been many such periods:
1) Badmouthed us that we had too much focus on the Aramaic. ironically his criticisms led to him inadvertently giving us a Peshitta solved Greek contradiction!
2) Said that only those who speak in tongues have the Holy Spirit. UnBiblical and goes against nearly everyone here. Thinks he can just go around telling people they don't have the Holy Spirit because they don't speak in tongues.
3) Criticised the other Dave on his codes work proclaiming that they were a waste of time. What other people's work has to do with Dave is beyond me.
4) Criticised me and others for looking for Peshitta proof all the time, claiming that "he already knows". How self-centered, it's not all about Dave... Shucks... He said that we all should help Paul translate the Peshitta not playing these "games". Ironically, later he got Paul to promise that he would translate the Odes of Solomon. Why this "non-Peshitta project" and "time-waster" wouldn't offend Dave is beyind me!
5) Arguing with me on the trinity and probably upset because of being unable to show me one verse that says "God is three", without referring to the Comma (fraudulently inserted into the KJV etc) in 1John. He didn't like that I put the Comma discussion in my divinity article, which is a) truthful and b) again, none of his business... Of course, in true Dave style, he rejected my offer to discuss the topic by email, declaring it a... waste of time...
6) Now, out of the blue, coming back and raising crap in an innocent thread I had where I wanted to see if anyone can link Joachim to Yoisp - an important quest in apologetics. Why he chose such an innocent thread to say that I just want to argue with people is beyond me, especially as I have always agreed with Paul that Yosip fathered (or was guardian of) Mary.
The trinity issue seems to be the big problem, because just before that we were completely fine. He supported me with my debate with Conder (while now criticising it...) and my Sabbath section of my article. It seems that the trinity is more important to him than whetehr or not one believes Jesus is the Son of God or not (siding with a Muslim over a Christian).
Too much rubbish, and it isn't worth it. Contributes little and stirs up lots of crap. I wonder why we have no moderators here. The biggest issue is that I never stand in his way and disrupt his threads, but he is always there to bite at my heels. Enough is enough.
