-Removed-Please DO hold your breath while you wait.
(But is it really your breath to hold?)
P.S. -- As Christians go, you strike me as a legalist -- which is to say a clever, arbitrary, transitory ego with verbal skills who prefers to engage in verbal battles it expects to win by dint of its cleverness rather than to humble and thereby exceed itself to explore the more experiential mysteries and greater contexts of Christianity.
-Removed-Well, we were talking, then you start going on as if you were talking to someone
else, and I might add, not addressing the points about your OP. "Proof you can't
take the bible literally" because you are not talking about the Bible's truthfulness
you seem to have more to say about me in this exchange. Had I never been born,
the truthfulness of the Bible would be what it is due to the things said it is; it
would still not have anything to do with me. So this is NOT about the Bible, as
you put down in the title? The quotes you put in the OP themselves are not really
anything to do with the Bible either; they have more to do with posters whose
points you disagree with, am I correct?
-Removed-Referenced directed at refuting what, the Bible or my views, please pick, your
title and your intent don't seem to be directed towards the same thing. Yes, my
comprehending your meaning is difficult when you are all over the place in what
you are asking, then you just out of the blue act as if you are talking to someone
else, please be plain in your intent, and ask specific questions about a specific
end, if you cannot be clear, no one will answer you correctly when you are all
over the place.
