Bible Question:
zerotheory, I guess my only question is; what is the bottom line effect you are striving for? I have watched the discourse with interest and wonder. Have you mounted an intellectual exercise, or campaign on this forum? And if so, toward what end? Are you in the process of working out a synthesis of 'Zero theory' plus ? biblical teachings? With an end goal of gaining what? adherent's.? I don't mean to sound critical. If you could supply me with the direction of the undercurrent of your thinking maybe all of us on the forum would know best how to respond. Respectfully in Christ, dennis |
Bible Answer: zerotheory, I'll back both Ava4 and Hanks' questions to you. I consider myself a reasonably intelligent person (though math was not my strong subject).Admittedly, I've never heard of the "Zero Theory" I just don't make the connection.( Eccl. 3:11)However,I can assure you that if it is sincere answers to honest Biblical questions you're seeking, the Forum is a tremendous source of wisdom. If you're merely seeking intellectual stimulation or playing games, another site would be far more appropriate! It would definitely help all of us if you would post a little about yourself on the "user profile". You're welcome to check mine out for starters. Speaking the truth in Love, BradK |
