Again, I'm a regular guy, not a biblical historian. I know I don't have all the answers. Though I could research them as I often do, there are times I ask myself, "To what end?"
This is often the case when arguing Conservative points with Libertarians. Regardless of what I come up with, a quibbler will respond, "Well then, what about the Blah blah blah...", ad nauseam.
I wasn't born yesterday, and I think I've come to recognize when someone is merely trying to lead me into a quagmire of words. Though, I was a little slow to pick up on it in this case.
You wouldn't happen to be a Libertarian would you?
May I suggest you refrain from cut and paste proof texts in the future.
