I dont have a lot of time today to enjoy this discussion, and I need more time to digest and study what the both of you are saying...however, I will notice that the two of you have quite opposing ideas, concerning the book of Genesis, and yet you both use the book of Genesis as your reference and authority for what you are saying...which of course, leads me to wonder which of the two scenarios is correct...but please, each one of you, please contrast your own scenario with the others scenario and see where the differences lie...
I am not a Biblical scholar, and probably have not studied the Bible as thoroughly or completely as either one of you may have done...so you can see where my confusion lies...two different scenarios, but both using the book of Genesis as reference and authority...
I find all this quite fascinating, and would be appreciative of any remarks you may have to make concerning this, and also if the two of you, could perhaps even discuss this between each other, so that I can see where each of you is drawing different meanings out of the same passages...
The greatest contrast I can see is between post 1157, by JustMyThoughts, and then post 1168 by Presently No Screen Name....these two posts dont agree with each other at all, and yet both posts are based on the same passages in Genesis...
I know this is quite a bit to ask, but I appreciate any input either one of you may have...
Thanks in advance...
Thanks..
