AMEN!

I still believe that it is highly unlikely for an all knowing, almighty God to

make an eternal life or death issue

out of something He left ambiguous in His Word.

Just doesn't fit His nature, His character.

And people who get on their pharisaical soap boxes about how ambiguous word meanings

JUST HAVE to fall down on THEIR side of things [without any significant definitional, grammatical, linguistic support for such]

are allowing far too much of their arrogance to show.

imho, of course.

"I still believe that it is highly unlikely for an all knowing, almighty God to make an eternal life or death issue out of something He left ambiguous in His Word. Just doesn't fit His nature, His character."

To assert that God is ambiguous, serves to weaken your argument. If, indeed, Scripture is ambiguous, then we need some cryteria to determine which subjects are ambiguous and which are not. Such cryteria should not be ambiguous.
