MatthewGS:
before i respond to your reply (and demonstrate AGAIN why your ideas aren't sound), can i ask you a couple of questions?
what is it that you believe?
what did you mean when you told the other guy on the first page of this topic that you were trying to "build your Christian faith"?
do you consider yourself to be a Christian, or was that just some ploy to hook us into a debate with you? (nice job by they way, i'm in for the debate).
and finally, do you accept the answers that we gave you concerning the Bible? i know you seem to have no trust in what the Bible says, but do the answers that we provided make sense to you (strictly speaking within the context of the Bible, putting aside all your other intellectual commitments for the moment)?
that's it. thanks.
