ah but Darling Gnome, you forget that where there is a will there is a way - maybe you were under the misaprehension that knowledge is some kind of solid , maybe like a rock or something to do with churches - free spirits know no such constraints as we are embued with freedom of spirit and of thought

and will? as in free will? Think we've been over the free will trail before, looks familiar. Your right, knowledge is illusory, Truth is a Rock, but don't tell Ray it's got anything to do with churches.
yep, Peter aside - truth is the essence of my argument and, I suspect ,Of your own - woohoo - are we really getting somewhere - I must warn yuo though, I have a pretty worthy arsenal when it comes to debating truth
First of all wanted to state this is a hilarious thread . but you asked why no one posted ref your quotes at the knowledge of the stripes I'll receive for this still here I go
1 when the Jews wandered in the desert for 40 yrs probably a lot less chaffing , plus in gererations to come has been done for medical purposes but you know that .
2 This was a dialog between Jeremiah and God
3 Refering to angels coming to earth and marrying the daughters of man
4 most of them painted at least 400 yrs A.D. and he probably had long hair too , along with the rest of his county men,
Why do those who live in Christ get involved in a debate of this type - on the turf of the opposition? You are wasting your effort by trying to counter every post with another post of one or two sentences trying to right a wrong with another wrong. Most attacks on the believers and the bible are based on 1)distortions or partial quotes of historical documents or 2)focussing on intellectual reasoning and ignoring the spiritual world completely.
I suggest that believers state their case clearly for readers who are searching and then stop verbally sparring with people who can in no way be changed or stopped by such sparring. In fact by doing this we are giving them a stage (and the type of their choosing) to discredit our God. By now everybody should have noticed that no new arguments are possible - it is a simple matter of those for and those against tiring each other. For us it should be about stating our conviction and reasons so that those who have chosen neither side may be offered something of value that will influence their choice when it happens. Would also be nice not to mentally tire them of the subject - but I suppose we are way beyond that point.
