You are only playing with words. Stop it, and be real, because others can play with words too.

I thought we were talking about what scripture means.

Me too, but when I post Scriptures I am told that I am only "playing with words."

Do you want to convince me that I am given no choice but to beleive, or do you merely want to convince me of your own arrogance?

I'm not trying to convince you of either.

Good luck on your job interview, Kevin. But, of course, luck has nothing to do with it.

If it's the job for you, you'll get it. If God has something better in mind for you -- onward.

The trick is to "thrill to the inevitable."

Someone once told me that in a similar situation, and it gave me great comfort. The key is the verb, "thrill."

I was not referring to the scripture you posted, but how you used it, and you really should learn the difference.

There is no difference in meaning between "at the moment of creation" and "before the foundation of the world". They are both poetic devices, and both have been used interchangeably by numerous Christian writers.

To claim there is a substantive difference is intellectual pettifogery. It reminds me of arguments about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

I do not understand why you feel it neccesary to divert me into word games, or why I've fallen for it.
