In the last thread there was a discussion about Is Jesus God. Well the bible says Jesus is God. That should have been the end of it.

The Bible tells me that Jesus is God. The same to you and your husband. But not all believe that. Havoc was hesitant to answer my question directly and JHavard expressed that he had no strong convictions one way or another.

When will you see that what you read as "The Bible" is not what everyone else reads?

When will you see that talking about what the Bible says to us is the only thing we can hope to do?

But then you said some remark that caused me to jump in the discussion, about thinking people as yourself, unlike Havoc, ..., I truly can't remember the whole thing, but you were beating a dead horse.

I said that I don't include Havoc in the class of people who think like me. And I don't. And I don't thikn he includes me in the class of people who think like him. We think differently and whenwe read the Bible we come up with different ideas.

I wasn't saying he didn't think, and that only I think. I was questioning why he didn't answer in a simple "yes" or "no."

God answered the question very simply. Jesus is God. Jesus is Man. Why does God have to go any farther. Where is faith if you need more then God's Word.

This is your reading. Don't foget vmatt, who very clearly saw the Bible saying Jesus was a second God. Now shoudl I have questioned him? What he thought "God's Word" was saying?

Dave, I think you know what I am getting at. I can't come up with the exact questions without going back through all the threads. But some of the discussions on some topics have degenerated down to nit-picking. To questioning on a level that is beyond what should be questioned, exactly like if your daughter questioned you to the point that DNA testing was the only thing that would convince her of her true parentage. That is what I am talking about.

As far as people like vmatt, you answer with scripture. If scripture doesn't convince them, nothing you say will. You think you can answer better then God. Listen too me:) Let me repeat too myself 2 Tim. 2:23.
