Don't patronize me. Telling me to relax and focus won't get us anywhere, and I have been working with you. Maybe if you answered my questions I wasn't attempting to patronize you. I said that for your benefit and mine. If you get offended by something like that, this will never work. I only want to...

Can you please explain how that happens in your mind? How are those "images" formed? How do you know when you are having a "misconception" about scripture? Relax, and focus. Since we can't speak directly we both have to put forth a bit more effort but, we can do it. Work with me...

Well, the fool says in his heart there is no God, and these are certainly some fools. Like the people who try to get Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 to contradict each other. OK, if the Bible was one big lie(which they believe) then Moses(who wrote Gesnesis) was one of the most horrible liars ever, and a d...

Everyone needs to make note of this because it is irrefutable proof that the Bible does not contain the word of God but, instead the words of man. Words that were, over time, translated through various languages. At the same time, it does not take away from the fact that the Bible does contain princ...
