Why Does The Provisionist God Need To Look ? Down The Corridors Of Time To Make His Judgments?

Depends on what you mean by receive. You claimed the Bible defined receive, an English word. Where?
You are diverting as usual.

If you believe there is a verse which contrary to scripture states unbelievers receive theSspirit, post it.

Otherwise, you are simply game playing.
 
As I said, I have not seen it. Certainly not from the cut and paster.

By the way why don't you cut and paste me where the Bible defines the English word recieve.

Again you offer only denial

I have a better one for you

Still dodging.

You were given every verse which uses the word as well as the lexical definition of the Greek word behind it, and still you dodge.

Tom refuses to define his terms and continues to make stupid claims having never learned his lesson. He claimed the Bible defines the English word receive and so I will continue to ask WHERE?

RG fabricates as the word was defined, lexically

You were asked to post a verse which you believe supports your claim.

You failed to do so.

Umm..I made no claim sir. And your dodging and diverting as usual.

So where does the Bible define the English word "recieve"?
 
Where does the Bible define the English word recieve? We're listening
Why can't you produce a verse which you believe teaches unbelievers receive the spirit?

You were given the Greek lexical definition of the word translated receive, so where is your verse?

You said the Bible defined it. Poor effort at deception. So where in the Bible is the word "recieve" defined?

The issue is what you think it means.

Post a verse you think teaches unbelievers receive the spirit.

This verse denies it

John 14:16–17 (KJV 1900) — 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

What do you mean by "recieve"? Tom is now attempting "shifting the burden of proof."
 
It's your burden to prove your claim.

Post a verse you imagine teaches unbelievers receive the Spirit,

and stop the constant diversions.
What do you mean by recieve? Simple question. Even for you.

Does recieve necessarily mean indwelling? Especially given John 14:17
