I think you've missed the point, but that's ok.
It really isn't, it's more like this -
"Why do you think you have an IKEA bookshelf, there really isn't any good reason to think so?"
"I have this instruction manual and it says I have one because it says so. That's good enough for me."
You can see how this looks from where I'm standing?
I asked in good faith, it's not in my nature to bait people. You're welcome to your opinion but it was your answer which caused me to go down that route. And please, no-one is upset here. If you really wanted to have a conversation, perhaps quoting scripture wasn't the best way to go about it.
You never asked me why I believed in Christianity. You asked me where in Christianity a specific doctrine was mentioned.
If you like. If I had wanted scripture quoted at me then I would have asked for that, but I asked about the concept. You could have explained the idea and referenced the quoted passages as you went along, but you choose not to and by doing so you didn't leave me with anything else to respond to.
This is a platform for communication and if you aren't here for that then it can only be assumed you have no desire to do anything other than to preach and proselytise.
I leave it to you whether that's something you wish to correct.
You said "Where in Christianity".
So I cannot answer the question the guy asks if you don't like my answer? I was asked who I thought the greatest person to ever live was. And I gave my answer. How is that not communicating?
Exactly.
