Bible Note: It is interesting to note that I made a number of points in my previous posting, yet you have not directly responded to any of them. This is not supposed to be a SHOUTING MATCH in which the objective is to see who can shout the loudest, while neither of us listens or responds to the other. In a debate, it is useful if you respond to the points that the other side makes. I will interact with anyone who has a specific comment or question about the passage in question. I will not respond to questions or posts that stray away from the specific passage being discussed. No hostility is intended here. This is merely my normal approach to an online debate with anyone over any topic. Grace to you, kalos |
