Jay, perhaps it would be good for you take a break and reflect on the discussions you've had here. You're making quite an effort to engage in multiple doctrinal debates at once, and this with multiple people, too. It's clear that you feel outnumbered here, and your exasperation shows.

Perhaps it would be best to create a thread where only you and one other person engage in a particular debate and the rest of us watch. I am uncertain if the admins would allow/enforce such a thread, but I'll put the idea out there anyways. You could also consider private messaging so as not to feel so overwhelmed by this many opposing voices coming at you all at once. It would also be beneficial to spend some time on your own praying over the scriptures and really reading and studying them. Consider the context: culture, history, setting, etc., and use this to guide your understanding and interpretation of the text and develop your arguments.

After this, you could return and provide more solid scriptural arguments to defend your positions. Most of the arguments I've presented here are the result of extensive prayer and study that I did after leaving The Lord's Recovery.

I suppose the choice is yours in the end. I can't really stop you if you wish to keep engaging like this, and I will keep answering your false or misguided claims along with everyone else here. There are still quite a few things that you claim that other denominations "NEVER" do that deserve a proper response, but I am unsure if you are really ready to hear them.
