Bible Note: Greg; Based on the answers you have received, it is obvious that it is not Hank who is promoting a "flawed and unorthodox" theology - no polls are needed. Most of the replies you have received have ignored your agressive and often insulting style and focused - as they should - on refuting the ancient heresy you advocate. But there is certainly no harm in reminding you that there are rules which you agree to abide by every time you post. Most of those who have responded to you identify themselves as Christians. The word is defined in Acts 11:26: "The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch." Disciple. Simple. Yet it is a term that you are unable or unwilling to apply to yourself. Instead, you concoct an insulting and blasphemous definition of your own. One can only conclude that you are not a disciple of Christ. If this is indeed the case, then 1 Corinthians 2 leaves no doubt that you are not in a position to discern or discuss spiritual truths. Instead of treating Paul's letter to the Galatians as just so much fodder for your intellectual mill, you would be well served to read it carefully and let Paul speak directly to you as he spoke to your theological kinsmen nearly 2000 years ago.
