When did (and how are were you able to) discern that I wasn't prepared to give a defense for my faith?

What I said wasn't a personal attack on you about your own opinions. I was merely stating my disagreement about them.

One thing that seems to be typical with the majority of people I've met or communicated with, who are as into Bible Prophecy like you seem to be, is that they tend to be very quick to judge. Maybe it's a problem with being so sure they've got everything figured out "prophetically"? Or maybe being quick to judge, is just their personality and what attracts them to being obsessed about Bible Prophecy?

But I could be wrong about that last paragraph. And it's because I know that I don't have God-like abilities to discern what motivates others. But the things you state about others you disagree with, seem to indicate you really think you do.

That is the type of dishonest garbage I am talk about that you always pull in these threads.

You show up, make this completely personal attack on me, then cry foul when I call out the dishonesty of your attack. You do not engage in honest discussion of the subject, you don't engage in the subject AT ALL. You instead engage in completely dishonest attacks and make them very personal. Not some times, but every single time in these threads. You are not discussing the topic AT ALL, you are just attacking me. You literally have zero interest al all in the topic, you never do.

I did not remotely to pretend to have any god like ability to understand anything, and I did not remotely pretend to understand all aspects of Bible prophecy. In fact I am always quick to point out there are lot of future events we can't be 100% on, and we can't be militant and approach them as hard core doctrine nor should we divide up over them or attack each other over them. That's why you have never seen me attack people over their 2nd coming coming views, rapture views or anything about future events in prophecy and you never will.

But again this is not even about FUTURE events or dealing with future prophecy, this is about things that have already come and past. Bible prophecy in apologetics is not about future prophecy, its almost entirely about things that happened 2000+ years ago plus a few things from 1948. Things that give a strong witness to the divine truth of the Bible. Yet here you are dishonestly conflating the two in order to attack me and derail the thread. The thread is not about future events, stop pretending like it is.

The fact is you blanket attack everything I post on this subject and instantly make it very personal. You NEVER come to these threads and make a case for why non believers should consider the Bible, you just attack, attack, and attack and mock and make it personal. You just attack me, and attack the the entire idea of Biblical apologetics.

You never have a single positive thing to add, its just all negative every single time. Your not even willing to just stay out of the thread if you have nothing positive to add, you just have to come and go full on negative attack every single time.

You just show up and derail the thread, and here you go yet again. If you have no interest in the topic, then stop coming to the thread and purposely derailing it with personal attacks on me.

You even stalk me on the Memphis board in tiger Basketball threads, you just randomly pop up in basketball discussions and mock me for my faith in the Bible. You're a creepy little guy with a serious hair up his rear end over me.

Eric, please accept my apologies for not realizing my true intentions about these things I did which you just discerned my true reason for doing them, that I wasn't aware of as the reason why I was doing them, but you were.

For example, I didn't know that I blanket attacked everything you posted. I wasn't even aware I'd commented on any other post you've made in the entire Buckley-Vidal No Spin Room.

It sure would be nice if I could discern my true reasons for thinking or stating things, like you can discern them for me; and how comforting it is that there's someone who has never met me, but knows how wrong I am about my real motives and intents.

For example, I'd thought my initial comment in this thread (my first post that you straightened me out about that wasn't scriptural but just had to do with my personal experience) was based on Romans 1:20, which Paul used to state that people who claim they don't believe in God, had no excuse not to believe in Him (without having to be convinced by prophecy) based on it being self-evident in all that God has created--even apart from the Bible.

But you were able to correct me about my comment actually being all about my own personal journey, and not based on scripture at all.

And also, thanks for such a thoughtful response from you, in the manner (the words you used with such kindness) to let me know, by referring to a specific part of my temple where where Christ resides, about another discernment you know to be true, which I was blind about (although you'll have to forgive me for it, because I can't see myself as clearly down there, like you are able to).
