If I want a scripture scholar you would be the last person I would ask. You haven't got a clue what Matthew 16:18 means so you ramble on like a vain philosopher. You have a bizarre understanding of scripture that you have to twist and turn to fit your needs. Its quite sad actually.
Given your ability to check sources, I hope you learn to think for yourself soon. I don't care if you take my word for it or not. You aren't supposed to. Yeah, you heard me right, you aren't supposed to. You are supposed to check every word yourself. It's in the Bible. I don't take it for granted that others won't check what I have to say about the Bible. I hope and pray that they do. And I've always encouraged people to check my words against the Bible. It's when they don't line up that they are to be rejected - not when you don't like what's said peg. You chose a grouping of citations because they appeared to support an argument you like. Turns out the truth couldn't be farther from the claim. When it's pointed out, you again attack the messenger...
I don't mind having people check what I say or cite. Doesn't bother me a whit, Peg. I expect it. It seems you don't expect people to check what you cite or say. If you did, you'd do the research and get it right. You just expect people to believe you based on what?
Kinda like you don't have a clue what Matthew 1;25 means. Yet you ramble on like a vain philosopher.
